Hereโ€™s a ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅexchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.

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.

Itโ€™s not going away, no matter how many distractions you throw out. Release the entire Epstein filesโ€”no one asked for what you deem โ€˜pertinentโ€™ grand jury testimony.

A tweet from Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) includes a photo of her seated in a leather office chair, smiling, with Dr. Alveda King standing beside her, resting a hand on Bondiโ€™s shoulder. Both women are smiling. Behind them are American flags and Department of Justice flags, indicating a formal government office setting. A desk lamp and framed photographs are visible in the background.

The tweet text reads:
โ€œGreat to spend time with Dr. Alveda King today before the release of the MLK Jr. files. Her uncle, Martin Luther King Jr.โ€™s, dream still lives on today in our great nation.โ€

The King Center, and the children of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, have repeatedly distanced themselves from Alveida King, who was MLKโ€™s niece.

She is not close to his living children, Bernice and Martin, and they have made it clear that she does not speak for them or the King Center.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates โ€œlike dogsโ€, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

One of those kidnappers is going to get shot someday. Self defense for being kidnapped by unidentified men.

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

If an employer can't afford to pay their employees at least minimum wage, maybe they can't afford to own a business. And, now they're charging something like 3.5% to use a credit card. Fine. I pay cash now and they can spend time counting the money and getting it to the bank.

They expect us to forget.

But weโ€™re not going to.

Not this time.

Not with this many survivors.

Not with this much truth out in the open.

Tomi Lahren just posted on the other place that the federal government should โ€œlet California goโ€ and that California should get โ€œnot one dime.โ€ Where does she think the federal government gets most of its dimes?

Is the US military poised to experience a new surge in conscientious objectors? For troops experiencing ethical dilemmas, following one's conscience can be costly.

Hotline callers were saying, โ€œI do not want to be part of pointing a gun at US citizens and maybe shooting it.โ€

By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.

Up to 45% will be single by choice.

Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice thoughโ€ฆ

It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.
