In the past 24 hours, Joe Biden secured a ceasefire deal in Lebanon and deal that brought three wrongfully detained Americans home in advance of Thanksgiving. That’s leadership.

Republicans claim to be “the party of law and order,” but in reality they are the party of unlawful disorder and hypocrisy. Watching MAGA Republican elites go after Sen. Murkowski, who refuses to vote for Trump nominees unless they are vetted by the FBI clearly shows how low they’re willing to go.

Donald Trump has made his top Cabinet picks. To date, there is not a single Black person in his Cabinet. This is the least diverse Cabinet in recent American history and by far the least qualified. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Regarding the dismantling of the Dept of Ed: If you are a teacher, hang on to your professional ethics and training. You know how schools work. You don’t just get a decree from on high today and follow it tomorrow. That’s not how it works. There are lots of steps. Demand the steps…

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

This gave me goosebumps. “My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night. A man came up to her and started talking to her. A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.” How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!” We need each other.

When you think about it, it’s quite on brand for the GOP to seek to protect alleged pedophiles among them by preventing the truth from ever seeing the light of day. Eh hmm, Jim Jordan (cough).

Peter Hegseth was flagged as an "Insider Threat." Matt Gaetz was under investigation for sex trafficking. Tulsi Gabbard had no problem meeting with Bashar Al Assad, a war criminal. This is Donald Trump's cabinet.

The party of law and order elected a convicted felon for a President and nominated an alleged sex trafficker as Attorney General. Got it.

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.
