When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
$20 million folks. $20 million to do it….

Someone told me all Dems need to do is sweep house and senate in midterm to repeal it all. And god help me, sometimes I feel like I have lost the entirety of my mind. This is why I stare at the chickens. To right the crooked room.
Look at that fat piece of shit flapping his gums about absolutely nothing.
After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.
I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.
VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest.
This bill is unpopular because it is wrong.
Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...
"That's just how it is."
Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?
The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….
Scottie people (myself included) would die for this! 😍😭
An update from @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social : The Los Angeles Press Club says police officers repeatedly used "less-lethal" bullets and violated the constitutional rights of reporters covering anti-ICE protests.
JUST IN: A federal judge has ruled against President Trump's use of the National Guard in Los Angeles, siding with the state of California's argument that the president erred in how the guard was being activated.
PAY ATTENTION: They didn’t just erase our history. They criminalized it. Now they’re banning every page that tells the truth.
But we remember. And we wrote it down.
@therickwilson.bsky.social: If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Or are they concepts of plans…?
We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.
65% chance of rain in DC on Saturday
Hi, I’m God.
I’m going to make it rain on his big stupid parade.

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)
The party of law and order, amiright?
Oprah needs to come get her boy
Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily
Neutered is the perfect word to describe it. 🤌🏼
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
Los Angeles is a dress rehearsal for Trump. His "Big Beautiful Bill" would allow him to create this chaos any time he wants, in any American city he wants.
