February 19, 1942 was the day FDR issued executive order 9066, exiling all Japanese Americans from the West Coast of the US—an egregious violation of civil rights. Yesterday, on Bainbridge Island WA, residents stood with neighbors to preserve a monument to injustice, resilience, and recovery.

“Beyond disappointing”: Liz Stein, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse, blasts the U.S. government’s accountability failures following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for his ties to the late sex offender.

I love that Trump's braggadocio came back to bite him in the ass 😂

If that happens, it would give Republicans enough time to re-gerrymander several states for this year’s elections instead of waiting until 2028

I think it’s highly likely the Supreme Court will gut the Voting Rights Act whether that happens soon or in June. Like with Shelby County and preclearance, they seem more likely to render it effectively dead without declaring it outright unconstitutional, but I don’t rule out the latter possibility

Trump, and his First Amendment assassin FCC chair, essentially banned this interview by Stephen Colbert and @jamestalarico.bsky.social. It could not air on Colbert's show, so he put it on youtube. Trump is terrified that Talarico will flip a Texas senate seat blue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

Talarico hits hard: America's so split we can't even share a Super Bowl—two halftime shows, two realities. What's driving this? Fear. Pure fear. But Bad Bunny's stage? Nothing but joy, unity, beats that lift us all. Ditch the division. Embrace the vibe. One nation, one show. #sheshed
