What I'm saying is, you're welcome.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.
If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.
Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

May I never understand why someone would forcefully starve another person to death, let alone a child. No matter how bad life gets, I never want it to get to the point where I would understand why somebody could become a people starver. Ever.

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.
