Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self. This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ community and all those continuing the fight for equality. Happy Pride!

Republicans will look at you dead in the eye and tell you that we shouldn't feed kids.
🚨 NEW: Michigan Democrats introduce legislation to make school meals permanently free in Michigan. Zero Republicans are supporting the bill.

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us. He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan! I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

À 23 ans, elle guérit la lèpre. À 24 ans, elle disparaît. Et pendant 90 ans, un homme blanc s'attribua le mérite de ses travaux. Voici l'histoire d'Alice Augusta Ball, le génie qu'on a tenté d'effacer. Elle grandit à Seattle au début du XXe siècle, dans une famille qui croyait au potentiel des Noirs. Son grand-père fut l'un des premiers photographes noirs d'Amérique. Sa mère lavait les sols pour pouvoir offrir un microscope à Alice. Ce cadeau changea le monde. Alice dévorait la chimie comme l'oxygène. Elle obtint deux licences. Elle publia des recherches alors qu'elle était encore étudiante. Puis elle s'installa à Hawaï et devint : 📷 La première femme à obtenir une maîtrise en chimie à l'Université d'Hawaï 📷 La première femme noire à obtenir ce diplôme 📷 La première femme professeure de chimie de l'histoire de l'université Elle avait 23 ans. Mais pendant qu'elle enseignait, elle fut confrontée à une urgence bien plus grande que le monde universitaire : La maladie de Hansen, la lèpre. Un diagnostic signifiait l'exil. Arraché à sa famille, on était déporté sur une île pour y mourir seul. Il existait un traitement : une huile amère et collante, peu efficace et extrêmement douloureuse. Nombreux furent ceux qui le refusèrent. Nombreux furent ceux qui moururent. Alice refusa de baisser les bras. Dans son laboratoire, elle trouva la solution que personne d'autre n'avait trouvée : Elle transforma cette huile épaisse en une forme assimilable par le corps. Une injection révolutionnaire qui sauva enfin des vies. Les patients commencèrent à guérir. Des familles furent réunies. Des personnes condamnées guérirent subitement. Sa découverte devint la méthode Ball. Elle changea l'histoire de la médecine avant même que la plupart des gens n'aient terminé leurs études. Et puis… elle disparut. À seulement 24 ans, un mystérieux accident de laboratoire lui coûta la vie. Elle ne vit jamais le miracle qu'elle avait accompli. Puis vint le vol. Le président de l'université, un chimiste blanc nommé Arthur Dean, s'appropria ses recherches, en retira son nom et les rebaptisa : « La Méthode Dean ». Pendant des décennies… 📷 Son nom figurait dans les manuels scolaires. 📷 Son nom était encensé par les médecins. 📷 Son nom était attribué à la seule reconnaissance de ses mérites. Son nom a failli disparaître complètement de l'histoire. Un vol si discret que la plupart des gens ignoraient même qu'un crime avait été commis. Il fallut 90 ans pour que la vérité éclate enfin. Des chercheurs ont mis au jour les documents originaux d'Alice. Son travail. Son génie. Ses découvertes majeures. Les projecteurs se sont braqués sur elle. Le mensonge s'est effondré. Et aujourd'hui, le monde le sait : C'était la Méthode Ball – TOUJOURS. Alice Ball a guéri une maladie qui avait ravagé des vies pendant des siècles. Elle a libéré des familles. Elle a sauvé des milliers de personnes de l'isolement et de la mort. Et elle a accompli tout cela en une seule année. Imaginez ce qu'elle aurait pu faire en une vie entière. Alice Ball méritait un prix Nobel. Elle méritait des statues. Elle méritait que son nom soit sur toutes les lèvres des étudiants en sciences. Au lieu de cela, elle a été étouffée par le silence… Jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Nous prononçons son nom parce que l'histoire a refusé de le faire. Nous l'honorons parce que d'autres ne l'ont pas fait. Nous nous souvenons d'elle parce qu'elle l'a mérité. Alice Augusta Ball (1892-1916) La chimiste qui a changé le monde avant même d'avoir eu le temps d'y vivre.

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be called into special session over Memorial Day weekend and have to argue that military members and their spouses deserve to have their votes counted after they already cast their ballots. But here we are. South Carolina is trying to rush through new congressional maps while the election process is already underway. Military and overseas voters followed the rules. They requested their ballots. They voted. They sent them back. Now, because politicians want to change the maps at the last minute, those voters could have their ballots thrown out through no fault of their own. That is unacceptable. I have an amendment that says if the congressional primaries are moved to August, those military and overseas voters should automatically receive a new ballot for the new primary. That should not be controversial. But apparently, some folks are fighting me on it. Some days it feels like I am living in the upside down. It is Memorial Day weekend, and I am having to fight to protect the voting rights of the very people serving our country. If we say we support our veterans, our military members, and their families, then we should start by making sure their votes count. Standing strong. Holding the line.

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv. I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information. All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality. Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity. There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus. Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us. One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
55 Russian missiles and 549 drones were intercepted or suppressed over Ukraine overnight. In addition, 19 Russian missiles likely failed to reach their targets, Ukraine’s Air Force added, noting that the information is still being clarified. According to preliminary data, impacts from 16 missiles and 51 drones were recorded across 54 locations, while falling debris was reported at 23 locations. 📹 Kyiv this morning

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: It’s not a secret the disdain Ted Cruz has for people who work working-class jobs. It’s not a secret what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks—he thinks we’re less than him. He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and has never scrubbed a table that it makes him better than someone who has actually had to work for a living. I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

This happened in Washington DC. If you don’t see a problem with this, you are part of the problem. Both MPD and Undercover Agents in Unmarked Cars jumped out on Jamari Khalif in broad daylight 10 deep for no reason. This shouldn’t be the norm in America……but it is smh
