When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The "whole pronoun thing" assholes refer to (yeah, Newsom's an asshole, even when he's OUR asshole) is simple: Show people respect by referring to them by the name and pronouns they prefer. That's it. Stop pretending like it's some complicated thing. It's not. You're just being a baby. 3/3

Maybe you do your best to try to default to they/them instead of something gendered. That's hard because you're overcoming decades (5 decades in my case) of practice. But you can do it. And if you slip up, that's okay. 2/

The "pronoun thing" is fucking dead simple: Person A: tells you what their pronouns are Person B: refers to them by those pronouns Sometimes you fuck up, especially when you knew Person A before they told you their pronouns. Okay. 1/

Compromise w Trump regime is useless. There is no reward for cooperation, no fruitful compromise. They do not want anything save your subjugation. They want ultimate power & wealth forever. Anything they pretend to be interested in is incidental. There is no upside to anything other than resistance.

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park. It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone. Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

This is bullshit. Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping. Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel. (Anaheim, CA)

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Second that. I know Wil only a little bit, but he's close with a handful of my good friends & in my experience he's always a kind dude. There's a lot of pressure on him to live up to his "don't be a dick" motto, & I think he does it admirably well even in tough situations.

Yeah. This is such a strange challenge to me. I revisit art I love, as do a lot of my peers. Movies, books, music - to me it's strange not to revisit these. The beauty of the streaming era (that's otherwise threatening our industry) is being able to easily do this w TV shows, too.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.

Team @immdef has spent all morning desperately searching for Juli, a mom of 3 US citizens who has lived in LA for 21 years. 3 nights ago Juli was on her way to work when she was forcibly taken at gunpoint by men who in a short call to family she described as “bounty hunters.” 🧵

Juli called family from blocked # last night & said she was initially taken with others from LA by bounty hunters to CBP near San Ysidro where officers demanded they sign papers to be deported. CBP said she was brought there because she had agreed to a voluntary deportation.

When she & others in group asked for lawyers & to see a judge, CBP returned all who refused to sign to bounty hunters’ van. They were then taken by the unknown armed men to a warehouse in a remote, unknown location. She is still there. We can’t find her in online detainee locator

Juli described to family that men & women are being held together in the remote warehouse. There are no beds, no blankets and no showers. There is no food and the only water source is the sink. Juli has not seen any uniformed ICE or CBP officers since arriving at the warehouse.
