I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Lots of friends getting Valentine cookies this year.

Hey the show is up on Apple Podcasts! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Protesting today at our turncoat Senator Fetterman’s office in Philadelphia, PA. Block the fascist agenda like your constituents and any reasonable US citizen wants, @fetterman.senate.gov !

This is one of the most bone-chilling things I have ever heard, Salvadoran dictator President offer to USA to house prisoners in their prisons, even US citizens if need be. Sobbing emoji…broken heart…rage face…. I got nuthin. We’re down here trolling around on the bottom.

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” We have power. Hold fast. Take care of yourself & each other. Do what you need to be healthy physically & emotionally. Keep your connections. Mend ones you can. Look around & be a helper. Do good when & where you see you can. We’re in for a long journey.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Alas, reading Character Limit now is an important tool for understanding the current moment. Without that book I would have assumed much of what I am hearing today was exaggerated. But it is scary similar to Musk path at Twitter. www.amazon.com/Character-Li... @kateconger.com @rmac.bsky.social

Europe to the US oligarchs, especially Zuckerberg and Musk: "You can take your Nazi salute and 'masculine energy' and go back home. "

@fetterman.senate.gov This is not the job we sent you to do in DC. There is zero reason why anyone should have a problem with this resolution condemning the pardon of the Jan 6 offenders. If you fail to object to their pardon and release, you might as well have been there swinging a bat yourself

FEEDBACK: "How do you keep up with all this stuff? It seems overwhelming." It is overwhelming by design. As a journalist, it's my job to not be overwhelmed.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it. ~ from The Talmud
