Visited the new mega Korean market near SF last night. Asians, Latinos, Blacks, very diverse crowd... including one gay man with his partner wearing a bright yellow MAGA hat. I had to do a double take. I mean, really... all sorts of questions, like, why would you wear that, and why here?

A judge in #NorthCarolina lost his bid for a seat on the state's supreme court. He challenged, there were 2 recounts, and he still lost. He goes judge shopping and finds a court willing to toss 60+k votes bc election integrity. The masks are truly off now. americancommunitymedia.org/politics/in-...

Met a journalist today who told me she fled political violence in Peru in the 80s with her family and found safety in the US. Now she is fleeing again because her son is trans and is terrified. This is not politics, left, right, whatever. It’s just hate.

What a treat to come to New Jersey to celebrate the work of ethnic media in one of the country's most diverse states. Trump et all can say what they want. This is diversity and inclusion in action! Great work team @centerforcooperativemedia.org.web.brid.gy for organizing.

On the train to Trenton, NJ last night chatted with a Guatemalan deacon who is a member of a faith-led organization of federal security guards. "Everyone is scared," he told me. "There is so much fear in the community." Dark f***ing days, indeed.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"
