On this Independence Day weekend, we know our freedoms are under fire. But today we can also celebrate those who keep democracy alive. So let’s give it up to the teachers and the musicians who keep our minds free.

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

How did #Zohran win? Working class and immigrant people. And working class Asian Americans were at the center, not on the outside or in between. 

Burn the other hot takes. Here’s the real from Sasha Wijeyerante of @caaavvoice.bsky.social

I hate that this needs to be repeated.

I hate that this needs to be repeated.

Here's that dangerous content...

S.F. author temporarily banned on Facebook after writing about L.A. protests San Francisco writer Rebecca Solnit’s Facebook page was temporarily shut down after she posted an essay on the Los Angeles protests.

Good work, Meta, at stopping all these writers like @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social with their dangerous content. 🙄 Oh hey. Nice work too, @sfchronicle headline writer - the original labelled it L.A. "riots" 🙃

ICE crossed a line in LA

When we launched the #May19thProject in #AANHPIHeritageMonth ‘21, we knew only a poet could sum up the sweep of our story.
That poet was Michelle Mush Lee.

We share her poem again at the end of our month because Mush gives exactly what we all need right now. See all our films: kcet.org/may19

Update on the Trump-Hegseth book ban: 

The ACLU is representing 12 students risking everything to fight back. 

Our day in court is coming on June 3rd. Stay tuned.
