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.

Last fall, the First Lego League project was focused on the ocean, so we had a massive number of requests for marine biologists come in to Skype a Scientist. I just got word that this year's theme is archaeology.

Know any archaeologists? tell them we're gonna NEED 'em.

Trans women are women, trans men are men, insistence on the existence of binary sex categories is both profoundly ignorant of biology and displays a pathetic understanding of human decency.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Our Constitution is clear: Only Congress and states can set the rules for our elections.

President Trump does not have the authority to change our electoral rules and jeopardize our voting rights.
Trump seeks to mandate proof of citizenship in voter registration
The order tests the power of Trump's authority and would require voters using a federal form to show proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. It's sure to be tested in court.

INCREDIBLE Ruling!

Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.

Trans military members may continue to serve.

Folks, this isn't complicated!

Someone who says "of course I support protecting the environment," but then slashes the budget of the *Environmental Protection Agency*, does not actually support protecting the environment!

There's no need to pretend there's some secret brilliant principle here!
