Thankful for the ceasefire between Pakistan & India; may it prevail despite the violence since the announcement. Conflict between them always brings tragedy to Punjab, my ancestral home. Prayers that deeply flawed leadership on both sides have the wisdom and courage to act on behalf of the people.🙏🏽

India And Pakistan, Both Nuclear Powers, On The Brink Of War "India & Pakistan both possess nuclear weapons & are not engaged in any kind of security dialogue. W/o bilateral crisis management mechanisms, both sides will find the current crisis unpredictable. The possibility of escalation is real."

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Every year on April 13th, Sikhs celebrate Vaisakhi, an important Sikh festival celebrating the birth of the Khalsa, a community of Sikhs committed to justice, equality, and service. The Khalsa was formed to stand against tyranny and oppression, reminding us to defend the rights of all people.

Got that right! Look at CA Dem Party Chair @rustyhicks.bsky.social for example. Tweeted almost every damn day when trying to get himself into Assembly (he lost). But after Trump won, he is missing in action. Tweeted a dozen times in 5 months...same on Insta/FB. We need actual leadership in CA.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
