On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, #Texas—home to 250,000 enslaved Black people—and announced that the Civil War was over, slavery had ended and that Black Americans everywhere were free.

June 14th is the 168th anniversary of the birth of Robert M. (“Fighting Bob”) La Follette, founder of our magazine.
It has been 98 years since his death in 1925, but the spirit of Fighting Bob lives on today in the struggles for open and accountable government round the nation.

My latest in @theprogressive: “We Can’t Exclude Black or Asian American History in Classrooms.” Histories of resistance & solidarity aren’t new but in Florida they won’t be taught. Join the resistance: Teach Truth Day of Action #TeachTruth on 6/10/23. progressive.org/op-eds/we-ca…

Lectures have been canceled. Books have been banned. Library systems may be closed. And it started with that narrow entry point: attacking trans kids in sports. @EdgeofSports #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQIA progressive.org/magazine/edg…

Nothing could be more revealing of the GOP's fragility than the targeting of two Black freshman Democrats in the state's House of Representatives.

A growing number of people and institutions are leaving Twitter. If you're not a QAnon believer or MAGA-hat wearing adherent of the far right, Twitter may not be the place for you.
