The Manzanar Committee opposes President Trump's unlawful attempt to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to enforce deportations This 18th century law was used by President Roosevelt in 1942 to justify the unconstitutional incarceration of 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry in concentration camps

It makes sense to pay for the heat or power we use and for utilities to invest in efficiency, infrastructure, and clean energy. We should not be paying for things that promote the for-profit, corporate utility’s interests, like expensive lawyers and lobbyists and advertising. #orleg

Los Angeles is burning. Fossil fuel companies laid the kindling. Soon the world will stop caring. If we don't demand better from the rich & powerful who can do more than anyone to slow the climate crisis, the fires will change nothing. My @latimes.com column: www.latimes.com/environment/...

I think a really important way to counter what's coming is IRL organizing. Being offline over the holidays and coming back, it is really jarring how much of social media is rage-baiting or resistance dooming. You can't build in these environments.

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter. Thank you for being one of the remarkable people who demonstrated that what's often thought of as time for retirement is when some among us reach their prime. Thank you for your feminism, your advocacy for Palestinians, your hands-on Habitat for Humanity work....

SoCal residents are experiencing an air quality crisis that’s leading to major health issues. We can’t afford to delay: we need air regulators to stand up to polluters and move forward with strong regulations to clean up our air.

🔌💡If you are looking to buy an EV, get it before Jan 20 because Trump is talking about killing the $7,500 EV tax credit. The legacy automakers were slowly chipping away at Tesla's market share in the US, which declined by 30% in the last 4 years. #EVs #battchat www.reuters.com/busi... 1/2
