Also we picked up Claire Hutton yesterday, and she's a game changer.
California's proclamation marking today, January 30th, as Fred Korematsu Day:

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
Do you remember Betty Reid Soskin? She was the oldest serving National Park Ranger in the United States, we celebrated her retirement at the age of 100.
Betty Reid Soskin (1921–2025) passed away on Sunday, but she lived an extraordinary life.
“The answers are only temporary.”

My new podcast "Burn Order" is about the decision to incarcerate tens of thousands of Japanese-American families during World War II, and the remarkable fight against it.
6 episodes in total -- Eps. 1 and 2 are posted now. 3 and 4 will post tomorrow, December 8:

As a constituent of his, I heartily second that endorsement! So amped to vote for Swalwell for Governor!
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.

Vile raid yesterday in front of JANM, the very place where Japanese Americans had to assemble before their forced removal in 1942. If you're outraged, support the National Day of Action against erasure. LA folks can head to JANM on Saturday, August 23rd, 10-11:30am. #noerasure
Not only did federal goons show up to try and intimidate our governor, they did so on hallowed ground. Gov. Newsom was speaking at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum, which I helped found so we do not repeat the horrors and injustices of the past. Shameful.
I've seen lots of posts calling out how appalling it was for ICE to show up at Newsom's event, but the location is important to note, too. Japanese Americans know all too well the dangers of sending away minorities and locking them up, stripping them of the protections the Constitution provides.
Statement from @jamuseum.bsky.social on what happened yesterday. It's really important that Gavin Newsom's announcement happened at the Democracy Center at a museum that has (rightfully so!) been very outspoken about the dangerous actions the administration has been taking.
This happened not at a random LA museum, but at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum.
Reports of ICE presence on Terminal Island is an act that chillingly echoes the shameful forced removal of Japanese Americans from that very place eighty-three years ago. This dangerous pattern signals a willful failure to heed the lessons of wartime incarceration. lataco.com/ice-is-stagi...
We sink further into the grip of authoritarianism. Hooray.
I've always donated yearly, but now I've signed up to donate monthly as well. PBS was a huge part of my childhood, and now it's a huge part of my children's as well. 💙
We hear about the economic impact of unpaid care work, with mothers contributing an estimated $450 billion in unpaid labor annually and facing significant wage gaps and workplace discrimination, particularly mothers of color.

OTD in 1999, the USWNT made history in an iconic fashion, lifting the World Cup trophy at a sold out Rose Bowl, adding a second star to the jersey and impacting our lives forever 🏆⭐️
I'm convinced this is one of the reasons we don't retain memories as babies, the teething process is so brutal.
It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up...
Tonight Republicans have blocked amendments that would:
- Protect food assistance for veterans and families with children
- Stop tax cuts for multi-billionaires
- Save 20 million people from losing healthcare
(Thread 🧵)
36 - Thirty-six different players have at least one start for the #USWNT in 2025, equaling the most different starters in the first six months of a year in team history (36 in 2000 and 2001). Auditions.
We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.
leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening
historians: that thing is definitely happening
star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it
news outlets: these protesters are out of control
While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/18l519bu
