Make no mistake the immigration practices of the U.S.’s current regime are racist and most of the time have NO basis for detainment or deportation. Deportation only occurs because the regime is breaking the law and not following Due Process. I do not agree w/this regime at all.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

Mark Warner: "That cabinet meeting earlier this week where everyone went around and basically paid kudos to the great leader -- it was something that frankly I would've expected out of North Korea, not out of a cabinet meeting in America."

Duke live at Columbia University 1964 in a trio with Peck Morrison & Sam Woodyard (tracks 1-6), solo (10-13) and with guest spots by Willie “The Lion” Smith (7) and Billy Strayhorn (8-9).

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
