I often think about this memorial we have along the waterfront in Portland. It emphasizes the grave injustice we did to Japanese Americans during WWII. Congress formally apologized in 1988. The plaque on the right is written by Ronald Reagan. Worth a read.

The first voice in Ken Burns's The American Revolution documentary is Native American. Interesting choice that already complicates the questions: What is America? What does it mean to be American. #HATM

All those years of paper airplane study paid off.
Throwback to 2017, when they were trying to strip us of healthcare & we went with @indivisible.org to deliver letters from constituents to their senators: the door stayed locked, so I had my husband fly the letters through the transom. Just another day expecting public servants to serve the public.

They weren’t taking the houses, they were building the houses.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.
