When politicians show you who they are, believe them. Matsui has failed the Sikh community and her record in Congress shows it. @maiforus.bsky.social is a fighter and will be a strong advocate for Sikhs and all communities. Vote for Mai Vang because it #MaiTime !!

Today is the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. What happened was horrific. And then came a second wave: Muslim, Arab, South Asian, and Sikh Americans were targeted for how they looked, dressed, or prayed. I put together this website to share just a few of those stories… post911.org
I told CNN the truth. So many big wins for progressive candidates across the country but there are many in DC Dem leadership that are still refusing to support popular candidates because they are taking their orders from AIPAC and corporations.
🚨🚨MUST READ UPDATE on AIPAC and Rep. Zoe Lofgren dumping cash and smears into the race to replace Eric Swalwell in Congress: 1. Senator Aisha Wahab is the progressive, anti-AIPAC candidate in the race, overwhelmingly endorsed by the Democratic Party and Labor. 🧵

More video of confused Matsui (D-AIPAC) in a debate trainwreck! Serious question, though: Did Matsui actually think this response would work to hide the dirty money or is she so lost that she doesn't even remember who she made the dirty deals with? Either way, support @maiforus.bsky.social !
48 seconds of a very confused Doris Matsui (D-AIPAC) as she (1) gets cross-examined by @maiforus.bsky.social (2) tries to hide her corporate contributions, and (3) gets booed by voters. This debate was a trainwreck for Matsui and a work of art by Mai Vang. It's #MaiTime

Wow, didn't know this would get so much attention! Some folks surprised and some angry but exactly zero of the facts in these graphics have been disproven or even successfully undermined. This link has support for the graphic & replies for all the weird critique: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Election day modeling using @paulmitche11.bsky.social simulator and polls out today. If Yee, Villaraigosa, and Thurmond, stay in the race, there's a 1 in 10 chance of a top-two MAGA lockout. If they drop out, it's only 1.9%. It is insanity for them to stay in the race!
The main stuff you need to know about the California Governor's race. AIPAC, Medicare For All, ICE, etc. (Swalwell is in this race for now but it's just a matter of time before some more news breaks; his time is almost over...tick, tock) @trackaipac.com

Monstrous: link between California's long overdue wildfire aid and a bill to fund Trump's depraved war of aggression. Congressional Repubs are talking about linking wildfire aid to a bill to pay for Trump's war, in order to attract Dem votes. Tell them: HELL NO. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I'm sorry that we're in "first they came for" territory, I really am. But we are.
The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

The nation’s biggest private prison company — accused of human trafficking — is asking the Supreme Court to make it immune from lawsuits. Their argument? Corporations should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.
The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims. If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

RIP U.S. innovation. Between gutting the H-1B program, purging US scientists from civil service, slashing research grants, and disappearing international students off the streets, our government has made a conscious decision to kill America's roll as a global leader in science and innovation.
Hey remember last fall, when members of the press credulously reported that Trump would increase high-skilled immigration? This will end it pretty much entirely. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Most scholars agree that about 1 million people died during the 1947 British partition of India due to communal violence and chaos during the mass migration of around 15 million people. The violence was especially severe in Punjab and Bengal. www.bbc.com/news/uk-scot...
