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.

Call your reps, friends. It is pure misogyny to put pregnant individuals at grave risk for no other reason than their fertility status.

Some of the panelists invited by the FDA to discuss SSRIs and pregnancy claimed that antidepressants don't work at all and depression goes away on its own. One suggested that depression was not an illness, but rather a product of “women just naturally experiencing their emotions more intensely.”
FDA panel promotes misinformation on antidepressants during pregnancy, psychiatrists say
Nearly all of the 10 panelists emphasized what they said were risks of the drugs. Some claimed, without evidence, that antidepressants don't work at all.

The Department of Homeland Security is telling police to treat mundane activities like skateboarding or live-streaming at a protest as "violent tactics."
This is disturbing, dangerous, and could easily lead to excessive force against people who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights.

As a brutal heat wave overtakes much of the country, almost every single state lacks universal air conditioning in their prisons, where temperatures can exceed 120 degrees.

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.
