With Election Day tomorrow, reviving this warning. Difficult times from my fellow South Asians specially and Asians generally. Some severe emotional damage coming up.

P.S. Yes I know he’s 34 now. Changes nothing. #EmotionalDamage

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Neither major Democratic Senate candidate in Texas has a single video up about SNAP or where Texans can find resources or donate. Colin Allred at least has a few posts on X about it, but only politicos will see it.

Both campaigns need a serious recalibration.

Delete the app. Don't use it. They are proudly promoting ICE ads, and the CEO is just a trash human being.

Make an example of one company. All they worship is money. The color green trumps all others.

Trump is too busy playing MAGA Mad Libs instead of answering how to help Americans make ends meet.

These aren’t the words of a leader who actually cares.

Trumpian math: “Every one of those boats kills 25,000 Americans,” he tells 60 Minutes. Nine boats in the Caribbean so far since mid-September. That adds up to 225,000 dead Americans. CDC: 76,000 people died of drug overdoses in the most recent 12-month period. 🤔
