I'm one of those rare birds. A progressive stuck between being a boomer and geneX-er. History, traveling and exploring are part of my core.

Video contradicts Trump administration account of Minneapolis killing
Once again, DHS appears to be lying.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

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.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.
I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.
