Took my autistic son to the #MagicalBridge playground in #PaloAlto #MitchellPark this morning only to have a tech bro father tell me my son was “creeping out” other kids and should leave. So much for “inclusivity” in #SiliconValley.

We joined 1,000+ organizations in calling for an immediate halt to all funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Congress has both the responsibility and the power to stop funding these deadly operations until the violence, abuses, and deaths end — and there is real accountability for the harm caused.

Since June 2022, our China Dissent Monitor has documented 307 cases of “threatening to jump” (威胁跳楼) as a form of dissent, in which protesters typically stand or sit near the edge of a roof or other high location to draw attention to a perceived injustice. Read more: freedomhouse.org/report/china...

“There’s very little evidence of any dissent or daylight between the board and Musk on any issue,” said Stephen Diamond, a corporate governance expert at Santa Clara University. “You just have to wonder whether that’s really a rational way to run the company.”

When people can’t afford food, the costs don’t disappear — they just get shifted onto hospitals, schools, local economies, and lost potential. SNAP isn’t wasteful. The cost of not providing food assistance is.

#Juneteenth is a story of why the struggle for freedom is never in vain—how that, in a democracy, there are always opportunities to right the wrongs of past injustice. Today serves as needed inspiration for what democracy can achieve, even in the face of daunting challenges.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Trump's military parade is estimated to cost $25–$45 million. That same amount could fund: 🍎 SNAP benefits for 18k people 🧒 Medicaid for over 14k children 🎖 Disability compensation for 7k+ veterans 🥪 14M school lunches Where we spend reflects what we value. It isn’t scarcity. This. Is. A. Choice.

Disinformation is reshaping public opinion, policy & culture in real time. AI, social media algorithms are accelerating the spread of false narratives and making it harder to get the truth out, build trust & advance justice. We need to treat media literacy like the civic survival skill that it is.

A relevant message from James Baldwin for these times: "I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope."
