Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Japanese American community. 81 years ago today, when I was just a boy of four, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, setting in motion the evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast and our long years of internment inside ten barbed wire prison camps.

We must never let such a thing happen again in America, and and we must strive everywhere to prevent the forced relocation and mass incarceration of innocent people. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

This issue is a deeply personal one for me. I hope you take the time to read this and understand what is really going on: They are fear mongers, creating a wedge issue, and profiting off of it. It has to end.

Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

Surely (no one/everyone) will (recognize how flexible and useful this architecture is/spend a huge amount of effort painstakingly preserving and updating this garbage I wrote in 20 minutes)

And yet here you are, controlling what women can do with a bun in the oven.

Fine. I'll be House Speaker.

The space of time between Mendeleev’s first stab at a periodic table and Einstein’s paper on special relativity was smaller than the time between the release of Goonies and today.

The shadow docket struck again, this time on Title 42. This latest ruling is part of a larger pattern by SCOTUS, and it carries significant implications for our policies around migrants and the role of the states. I break it down in today’s piece.

On the 6th day of 🔒ed on twitter… my true love gave to me… a Mastodon account where I don’t need a keyyyyy… 🎼🎶

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: Encouraging kids to be who they are is suicide prevention.

Should I step down as head of the Universe? I will abide by the results of this poll.

So much for freedom of speech on Twitter.

The point of a graduated tax system is that people who make more can afford to pay more. A billionaire isn't going to have to choose between heat and food if they are taxed at 60%, but someone living in poverty can't afford the 10% that a lot of these people say they should pay.

sorry, i'm busy

Hi guys!
