"Sir, that slur you called me is incorrect. I'm #adopted." It was five years ago this week that California issued stay-at-home orders. Just prior, I told my adoptive dad about a coughing fit at Whole Foods. Someone behind me threw bread at my head and called me a racial slur as I left. [...]

Yes, AND: In the 60s, folks organized busses to take people to urban centers. The women’s march in 2016 was impactful bc people flew across the country to protest in DC. I still remember watching Kellyanne Conway lament “alternative facts” to Chuck Todd in a group. Presence like this is powerful.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

There’s a lot I admire about Bernie Sanders. Here’s another thing: emotional inclusion. He admits and accepts fear here, while still insisting on agency to respond and lifting others up. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails. Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.
