Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
No matter what Trump or Hegseth say, diversity *is* our greatest strength—and our AANHPI communities have proven that time and again.
AANHPI stories are American stories. Always have been.

I was trying to figure out what 'sound background' to put up behind my morning and this album caught my eye. It has been in my music library since it came out. But the subjects could have been pulled from the news today.
It's a cross between industrial and rap - but the whole thing is prescient.

And past your 30s the pros are even better
going to the dentist in your late 30s
cons:
never flossing well enough
need a mouthguard for clenching your teeth
pros:
you get to lay in a reclining chair for 45 minutes straight and no one can reach you

Trump wants green card applicants legally in US to hand over social media profiles
USCIS said the vetting of social media accounts is necessary for “the enhanced identity verification, vetting and national security screening.” Critics say it crushes free speech

The fed. gov’t is ~20% of the US economy, spending money on those things that the private sector cannot provide - infrastructure, early stage R&D, defense, security, hunger. To shut that down is to carry out Russia and China’s foreign policy, destroying all that makes America the envy of the world.

#WritingCommunity I have a couple of books percolating in my head that want to get out.
What would you suggest as a place to look for feedback as I begin actually writing them down?
And possibly monetizing them with an eye toward actually getting them published...

This makes sense...
Because if Russia can just take over land then that means that the U.S. can too (i.e. Greenland and the Panama Canal).
To support territorial sovereignty in the rest of the world would mean we couldn't ignore it ourselves.

President Donald Trump claimed in part two of a televised interview that the nearly three-year-old war between Russia and Ukraine that started when Moscow’s forces kicked off an invasion in 2022 was the fault of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump says Ukraine should have surrendered to Russia and blames Zelensky for war
Trump claims that the Ukrainian leader decided he ‘wanted to fight’ when it was actually Russia who started hostilities between the two countries

Wait... I thought that anything done while acting as President was permitted and could not be prosecuted.

Isaac Asimov was born on this day in 1920. This quotation from 1980 holds up:
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States…. [It is] nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

Fascists are not "unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play."

Civility is *good*. Compromise is *good*.
But like anything else, they're only good if deployed appropriately. Being civil to Nick Fuentes is bad. Compromise with David Duke is bad.
More time needs to be spent defining their appropriate parameters and recipients

The fight for abortion care and the fight for trans rights are the same fight. It is the fight for bodily autonomy. If you do not have control over your own body, you do not have control over anything.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Here is the issue that endangers IVF.
The idea that life begins at conception.
That makes every embryo a person. So, what do you do with the extras once the people who created them are done having babies?
Destroying them would be murder.
Who then is responsible to maintain them forever?

IVF allows millions of Americans to start a family.
We can't let extremists rip that right away.
