My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

ICE showed up on private property without a Warrant and was sneaking around so when the one of the owners showed up he told them to get off the property and they did because they know that what they were doing was illegal and they're being watched by everyone now including Judges

Ukrainian President Zelensky is set to meet Putin-puppet President Farquaad in Florida for another round of peace talks. Peace talks and Trump's involvement have never been needed. Putin just needs to stop his illegal imperialist war. This is all just a show--at the expense of Ukraine.

SHUT IT DOWN…👇
Now ICE agents are shooting at moving vehicles!
Injuring two UNARMED immigrants on Christmas Eve, whose only "crime" was a failure to stop when asked. ICE didn't know if the people they shot were citizens or not until AFTER the fact.
ICE is out of control, making us all less safe.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

Just heard Duke Ellington use a magnificent phrase in a 1974 BBC interview with Stanley Dance. Asked whether he regrets never having received a grant to sit at a university somewhere and compose in peace, he says he has no interest in such a stretch of “ornamental stagnation.”
