November 13, 1922: The United States Supreme Court rules on the Ozawa case, definitively prohibiting Issei from becoming naturalized citizens on the basis of race. This ban would last until 1952. #OTD #USHistory

After successfully growing tomatoes this year, I asked my son what we should grow next year. He said he wants to grow pizza.

Corporate profit margins have soared to their highest levels since 1950.

Meanwhile, the wealth of the top 1% increased by $6.5 trillion last year.

It’s excessive profits, not wages, that need to be controlled.

Do you know how fucking guilty you have to be for a federal judge that you appointed to sign off on a search warrant issued by an FBI director that you also appointed and executed by a DOJ attorney that you also appointed?

Canada just unveiled a new tax on private jets, yachts, and luxury cars. The Select Luxury Items Tax Act will apply to all new cars and aircraft over $100,000, and boats over $250,000. The new rate will be 10% of the full value. America, you're up.

Corporate greed is Tyson’s CEO asking customers to “pay for inflation” while the company posted $1 billion in profits within a single quarter.

Pinched nerve but it doesn’t hurt if I hunch over and lean to the right. So I’m the hunchback of the neighborhood and I’m wondering how to work this into my resume

Getting older in a nut shell: wakes up, breaths, pulls muscle.

Apparently a lot of bosses need to hear this:

If you're giving out a 5% annual raise right now, you're giving out a pay cut.

Loving Vs. Virginia allowed my parents to marry, they had a civil ceremony because the priest wouldn’t marry them because they were not the same race. Republicans want to go back to that under guise of states rights. States can’t be trusted with civil rights, we did this before.

Idea: Putin apologists should be called Putinescas. To go with the gazpacho secret police.

A friend of mine at a bar just overheard someone order a Conan O’Brien— whiskey with ginger ale. PLEASE LET THIS CATCH ON.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

if you're not giving your employees a pay raise beyond inflation/cost of living growth, you're giving them a pay cut.

@ShawnStudentDC @Crumlinfinglas @GeorgeTakei They were just released, there was no reimbursement. They were strongly advised to not go back to the west coast where they had come from. There was nothing there for them even if the could, some had a week to sell everything before going to the camps, a lot had less time.

A school district in PA earlier tried to ban my graphic memoir, “They Called Us Enemy.” It’s about growing up in a Japanese American internment camp. I hope you get a chance to read it.
