Councilmember RESIGNS After Telling Supporter to KILL HERSELF
In a shocking display of unbridled hostility, Norman City Councilmember Bree Montoya has resigned amid an uproar following her inflammatory online remarks directed at a Trump supporter, where she insidiously suggested self-harm. The tumult erupted over a Facebook exchange tied to the controversial “No Kings” protest, wherein Montoya’s venomous comment told the user to “put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger.” Despite her claims of voluntary resignation, the pressure from outraged constituents and political activists left her little room to maneuver. Montoya's subsequent public apology, fraught with acknowledgment of personal distress and reflection, only further fueled the narrative of a public servant failing to embody the compassion expected from an elected official. As the political fallout continues, questions loom over the extremes of partisan divides and the responsibility of leaders in the arena of public discourse.

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905)June 21, 2026
Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, and novelist who became the foremost exponent of existentialism in the 20th century. His first novel, Nausea, was one of many works depicting man as a lonely being burdened with a terrifying freedom. He served in World War II, was taken prisoner, escaped, and was involved in the French resistance, during which he wrote multiple works. In 1964, he became the first person to voluntarily decline the Nobel Prize in Literature. Why did he refuse it?

Long before a national holiday was established, this day of the year had been observed by Canada's Inuit, Métis, and First Nations peoples as a celebration of Aboriginal heritage. In 1996, the Canadian government made June 21 an official holiday, including all citizens in the observance. Celebrations take place throughout Canada, and are organized by the regional offices of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Canadian Heritage. Some festivities are modest celebrations; others exhibit a stronger focus on culture and tradition by holding canoe races, powwows, and awareness events.

CigarsJune 21, 2026
Cigars, tightly rolled bundles of cured tobacco, were being smoked by the Mayans as early as the 10th century. Spanish travelers to the Americas brought cigars back to Spain in the 16th century, and their popularity then spread throughout Europe. The word cigar, therefore, derives from the Mayan word for tobacco. What did US President John F. Kennedy reportedly do immediately before imposing the Cuban trade embargo that, among other things, prohibits US residents from purchasing Cuban cigars?
