🚨 WATCH: Rep. Jayapal asked Epstein survivors in the hearing room to stand if they’ve still never been able to meet with Pam Bondi’s DOJ.

Every single one stood.

She then gave Bondi a chance to apologize.

Bondi refused — and instead attacked Jayapal and Merrick Garland.

No apology.
No accountability.
Just deflection.

That tells you everything.

Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Star Tribune

“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather said. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.” https://t.co/KNy7fbMIFW

Do NOT trust this statement, and demand that DHS provide hard video evidence of what happened.

In Chicago after a CBP officer shot a woman, @TriciaOhio's first statement claimed she "rammed" the car and pulled a gun. Bodycam proved this was false, and DOJ dropped all charges.

Shoutout to James Hong, who refused to let Hollywood hide its racist past.
“The producer said the Asians were not good enough and they are not box office-[worthy],” said Hong. “But look at us now.”

When I got an alert this morning about the Monterey Park shooting, I was about to sit down to finish the latest chapter in my book about Chinese exclusion in America. I switched gears and wrote about history, fear, and the Asian American experience today. https://t.co/RI7pEX6GcY

Families in Uvalde, Texas were still burying their children when another shooting happened, this time in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Four people were murdered, and another community was left heartbroken and torn apart by the epidemic of gun violence. We need to stop this now.

I’m so incredibly inspired and grateful for the work done by @farhanakhera over the last 16 years as she’s powerfully led @muslimadvocates.

Thank you so much for your years of leadership, and know that I look forward to continuing to organize alongside you in your next journey!

To all my Asian American and Pacific Islander siblings reeling from the uptick in racism, discrimination, hate, and violence happening across the country — I want you to know that we are visible and we matter.

We too are America.

I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one.

Yesterday, I was briefed by attorneys representing women who were subjected to forced, invasive procedures by a gynecologist connected with a private, for-profit detention center in GA. It has become clear that the initial reports are likely part of a horrific pattern of conduct.

All through the 80s, the US gov denied asylum applications from Salvadorans & Guatemalans at exorbitantly high rates for political reasons: the US was supporting the regimes that were brutalizing their own people & forcing them to flee. 1/

[Tom Jawetz @TomJawetz]

Can you imagine being the VP of a foundation that bankrolls the entire anti-immigrant movement--all of the orgs founded by John Tanton, a racist eugenicist--and pretending to condemn racial discrimination and be unaware of the vile stuff said and done by the orgs you support?

Rest in Power, @rahwita. Seattle lost a God. One of the most dynamic people I‘ve ever met. A brilliant organizer & a wonderful friend. Her legacy will be the impact she made & the many lives she changed. REST IN POWER, RAHWA
