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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

And the administration claims to care about the birth rate. SMDH.
Last week, the NIH terminated its participation in Safe to Sleep, which has been credited with a 50 percent reduction in SIDS deaths since its inception in 1994

The government did not provide a reason. But it's worth noting that RFK Jr. has long promoted the false claim that vaccines cause SIDS.
The Trump administration canceled a program that reduced SIDS. Enter the anti-vaxxers.
RFK Jr. has promoted the false claim that vaccines cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Thank goodness the judiciary is still showing up. (Take note, Republicans in Congress!)
BREAKING: Federal judge finds, in multistate lawsuit, that Trump's EO targeting three entities — Institute of Musuem and Library Services, Minority Business Development Agency, and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service — likely violates the APA, Take Care Clause, and separation of powers.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.
