My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

I just hope they forgive us after he’s gone, quickly.

I looked it up. An "ex-officio" is someone who holds a position because of their status. She's a current member of the board.
Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex-officio member of the Kennedy Center's board, has sued the admin over the attempt to add Trump's name to the building — arguing that renaming would require an act of Congress since the original name was established through legislation signed into law.
