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.

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

Trust Nurses. If the California Nurses Association felt this race was so important they needed to spend $300k on ads letting folks know that Mai Vang was their candidate and that Matsui had failed us, well, then you know this is the real deal. Vote Mai Vang for Congress! Let's get this done! ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏽

He actually said this last night, "I need Chevron." Becerra spoke from his chest in full defense of Chevron and the max contribution. Zero words about Chevron airdropping cash to stop us from having clean water and air. We cannot let this guy be our Governor. We deserve better.

Bovino needs to go. Noem needs to go. Miller needs to go. But firing or impeaching any of these people will not unilaterally change what’s happening in Minnesota. That’s why Congress needs to exert some muscle over DHS/ICE funding.

The purpose of any messaging is to move people toward what we need them to believe & do. We need people to see ICE accurately - as the gestapo, a criminal enterprise destroying us from within. That's why any reference to "reform" or "train" goes against our material & narrative goal.

How embarrassing for Chuck Schumer, Kirstin Gillibrand, Cory Booker, & NY Reps Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks, Tom Suozzi, & Laura Gillen, that even Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before they did.😐 Corporate Democrats just love snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

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.

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.

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

MacArthur Park today wasn’t law enforcement. It was political theater. No arrests. No crime ring. Just troops, agents and fear. Kids at summer camps were rushed indoors as helicopters and soldiers swarmed. The message? Intimidate immigrants. Children became collateral in the show.
