On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Get George on the ballot! Can we count on you to help get George on the ballot in New York?

I'm running for Congress to take the fight directly to Trump—but I can't do it if I'm not on the ballot. 🗳️

We need 1,250 signatures from NY-12 Democrats in just a few weeks. It’s going to be close.

Help us hit our goal and protect our democracy. Sign up now: bit.ly/GeorgeConway...

Dan Koh: In the last year, this leader tried to take sovereign land unilaterally, use the justice system to jail enemies, & actively shut down independent media voices

That was Vladimir Putin—the fact that so many ppl thought I was describing Trump right now shows how much our democracy is at risk

I will never forget the coverage from Chicago the night Obama won, with the closeup of Jesse Jackson with tears running down his face. RIP, Mr. Jackson.

I’ll never forget the orange felon falsely accusing Hillary Clinton of running a global pedophile ring after she warned the country that he was putin’s puppet and then it turned out he was a lifelong pedophile criminal aka projection AF.

I’ll never regret voting for her.

AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Standing up to racism shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

Trump posts an objectively racist video, and MAGA is silent.

All while he continues to nominate bigots and dine with Holocaust deniers.

It’s clear who this President is. And it should disgust all of us.

This is Bob Coveiro. He sat by his human's grave for 10 years until his own death in 2021. Pets were not permitted to be buried with humans, but he was given an exception. Now 5 years later, inspired by his loyalty, Brazil passed the Bob Coveiro Law allowing pets to be buried in family graves. 14/10

I work at an indie bookstore and there’s a guy who orders hundreds dollars of books at a time because he’s worried that books will be abolished and he doesn’t want knowledge to be lost.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.
