On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

Trump is a One-Dimensional Negotiator
I'm going to get a little wonky and write about Donald Trump and negotiations. For those who don't know, I'm an adjunct professor at Indiana University - Robert H. McKinney School of Law and I teach negotiations. Okay, here goes.

Jesuit priest Edward Dowling said it best in 1944: "The two greatest obstacles to #democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it.”

Arguably, the most dangerous of his EOs (for everyone, including MAGA morons) are the ones undermining progress on climate change. The "drill, baby, drill" nonsense is going to accelerate our race to +1.5°C and beyond, with all that entails. States and cities need to step up. #ClimateChange #Resist
