There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

What the actual hell?! A close Trump advisor and MAGA figure just posted, “Alligator lives matter. The good news is alligators are guaranteed 65 million meals if we get started now.” This is disgusting, it’s genocidal language. Dehumanizing, dangerous, and unacceptable. How is this even real life?

BREAKING: 87 year old veteran was released from the D.C. jail after being arrested Friday on the Capitol steps while protesting the Trump parade.
Asked how it felt to be arrested at 87, he replied, 'I'm just beginning, my friend.'

This is super cool from the NWSL team Angel City FC, which is based in LA. They distributed these tshirts at last night’s game.

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

After the assassination of Pres. Lincoln, VP. Andrew Johnson was sworn into office. Johnson opposed full rights for the newly freed, vetoing a Civil Rights Act. Congress overrode him, sending a message: justice cannot wait. 113 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

Some 66 million monarchs are packed into just four and a half acres of forest in central Mexico. In patches of trees, tens of thousands of them cluster together. A new generation of migrating monarchs will return to this roost next fall. https://cbsn.ws/432BOmn

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”
