Wish this was an April Fools joke, but the Supreme Court heard arguments today to revoke birthright citizenship; an issue that most people decided was settled in 1898 with Wong Kim Ark. May I suggest that it might be worth looking at this book this week with your young readers?

Today is World Refugee Day, so I wanted to share some lines from my book, DAUGHTERS OF SHANDONG, which is based on my grandma’s experience as a refugee fleeing China’s Civil War. I think of the refugees today, who escape horrific conditions, only to be met with hostility. No person is “illegal.”

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

On whether or not to be “political.” In a world where politicians can dismiss “human rights” as “political,” merely existing as a human being is political.

For those wondering why a South African would come here and meddle with our politics, the answer is quite clear. M wants apartheid, and has decided it’s easier to get it in the U.S. than South Africa. By fomenting both facism and white supremacy, he wants to resurrect the society of his childhood.

President of the United States telling people who say they can’t afford to buy eggs to go and buy a Tesla (you can get one for “only” 35,000 dollars after all) is the modern emperor-wannabe equivalent of “let them eat cake.”

There is power in numbers. EVERY Democrat should have stood up with Al Green, or walked out with Jasmine Crockett. That is how we protect dissent, and protect each other. Silence while wearing pink blazers is just decorating the cage.

I’m not a football fan, but cannot help but feel inspired that the Eagles, who apparently were favored to lose, didn’t just win—they creamed Trump’s (and prob Elon’s) favored team. Guess money can’t buy everything! Thank you Philly for bringing some joy, and massive congratulations!

Re boycotts, if you can quit a company cold turkey and refrain from buying immediately, that’s fantastic! But if not, buying less still helps. Cutting 50%, or even 25%, is still better than nothing, and definitely adds up.

The world’s worst atrocities tend to occur when hateful leaders manage to convince people to have two kinds of fear—(1) fear of a common enemy, and (2) fear of speaking out because of purges against dissenters. There is power in numbers, and we protect each other by continuing to speak.

Part of resisting authoritarianism in our own country (USA) is reckoning with the American role in promoting authoritarianism abroad—what we have done in the past, and what we continue to do now.

Economic policies that squeeze money from low and middle class people are designed to create a labor force that is so desperate to survive that they are desperate to serve—to take any job, under any conditions, without any argument because they are living paycheck to paycheck.

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all. bit.ly/4gdjnQe

What is far more frightening than Musk’s Nazi salute is the mainstream media’s willingness to call it a “gesture”, or an “accident”, or anything other than what it is: an invitation to remove your hood.
