Indigenous peoples will always embody resilience and pride. They reflect the greatness this country could only achieve together. May we think of them and remember their many sacrifices this Indigenous Peoples' Day.

The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced to Congress in 1923, and is still not a Constitutional amendment today. This is why representation matters. Sending decent people to Congress is so important. Vote.

It's always heartbreaking to remember such a terrible tragedy. 9/11 shattered this country's illusion of safety, but also showed us how people can come together to overcome devastating events to help one another. We should honor those memories today.

Heartbroken to say goodbye to a legend. Dolly Parton was an inspiration, a strong spirit who refused to bow to music industry misogyny and supported the education of thousands of children. She will be dearly missed by the world.

We went to the local sunflower festival last weekend. Thought I'd share this picture that my wife took of me and one of the happy sunflowers. Looks almost like I took a picture with another person.

My wife took a picture of me next to a sunflower, surrounded by a field of sunflowers.

SCOTUS thankfully struck down Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship in a 6-3 vote. This should have been an easy 9-0 decision for anyone who has ever read the Constitution. It requires less than a high school reading level to comprehend. Those 3 justices failed an open book test today.

Juneteenth is a celebration of how far we have come in our country's long history of slavery and oppression. It is impossible to deny these historic scars, for history can never be rewritten. Progress and resilience are vital to America's past, and its future. Vote as if your life depends on it.

The Knicks lost last night because a selfish orange sycophant visited the game and destroyed the vibe. More proof that everything he touches will fail. NY made it very clear he wasn't welcome. Maybe he should take the hint.

Pride Month is very important, especially now. Same-sex marriage is threatened. The very humanity of the trans community is under attack. The fight for equal rights and dignity is far from over.

Our fallen service members sacrificed their lives to defend freedom, democracy, and progress. Today is about remembering how far America has come, and how to uphold those ideals. The current political climate is disrespectful to the soldiers who gave their lives to serve this nation. #MemorialDay

Trump spent billions in taxpayer money on his illegal war, and he has caved to everything Iran wanted. President Obama's nuclear deal was far better. Trump has made another impulsive, disastrous, and incompetent move with far-reaching impacts for everyday people. Another stain on American history.

Trump is now forcing non-immigrant visa holders to apply for green cards from their home countries. If you marry your foreign-born spouse, you can no longer keep them in the U.S. while the application is pending, which can take years. Trump's goal is always to separate families. It's heartbreaking.

Court process is important in the SPLC case. The DOJ claims it has enough evidence to justify a trial, but that does not prove guilt. A grand jury indictment only establishes probable cause, not the truth. And this DOJ has already shown its corrupt slant in justice.

On April 7, a gunman in an OK school was stopped when the school's principal tackled the man as he entered the lobby. No hesitation, no 'waiting for backup'. He saw his students in danger, and put himself in the way to stop it. In a world constantly on fire, we need more people like Principal Moore.

The use of conversion therapy is nothing short of torture. It is not therapy and has never worked. No amount of organized abuse will make someone change their sexual orientation. It will only make them hate the people who put them through it, and leave lasting shame and scars.

If you're born in the U.S., you're an American. That's what the 14th Amendment says. This was even debated when originally established, and it was intended to apply to immigrants, too. The Constitution matters. Trump, who has committed multiple felonies, is trying to rewrite the law. Despicable.

Trump has spent around $12 billion so far on his illegal war with Iran. His war-mongering fascist regime is wasting taxpayers' money to distract from Trump's child abuse history in the Epstein files. Committing mass murder for personal gain is just reprehensible.

March 3 is the Texas Democratic primary. It's hard because both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are great, but Crockett is a proven voice of integrity in the Senate against this regime in ways that can't be replaced. Talarico could serve Texas well in other ways, but Crockett deserves the vote.

The passing of Neil Sedaka is a huge loss. As we cherish his many hit songs, it's important to recognize how his songwriting from the 50s to the 70s had a significant influence on American pop songwriting even today. He will be missed.

Naotoshi Maeda @naotoshimaeda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

It becomes more embarrassing everyday the lack of action from the DOJ to prosecute those associated with the numerous heinous crimes in the Epstein files. There is no excuse for this inaction except complicity. They're aware, they just benefit from the cover-up.

Anyone shocked by the newest reveal that there was redacted evidence of Trump abusing a minor in the Epstein files would also be shocked to find water in the ocean. The guy is an actual demon. These victims need real justice.

Trump's voter suppression bill needs 60 votes in the Senate to advance. There's no path forward for it. Trump threatened an executive order establishing the same requirements, but EOs do not decide how people vote. The Constitution and Congress do. The US isn't run like a glorified corporation.

The average Democratic constituent wants ICE dissolved and off the streets. No amount of negotiation can fix a system that despicable.

To say there are horrors beyond what could have been imagined in the Epstein files release goes without saying. They will try to point to the uncorroborated parts to hide the overwhelming truths. Don't let them ignore this atrocity.

In the wake of continued tragedies in our country, we must take a moment to acknowledge Black History Month. It is more important than ever to elevate Black voices, as it is clear that without them, the darkest parts of history are doomed to repeat. #BlackHistoryMonth

America came of age with the civil rights movement. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday because of that. While Trump's fascist regime and its corrupt DOJ are dismantling civil rights and promoting white supremacy, it's important to remember who we are as a nation. #MLK

ICE has gained numerous surveillance systems. Historically, once technology is granted to federal agencies, it's almost impossible to take away. Anyone who tries to avoid the debate over abolishing ICE needs to understand that it's the only option to stop its rampant illegal operations.

On Fox News, Bondi ranted about prosecutors who told her they wanted to resign, saying she "fired" them all. Her lack of impulse control likely made them eligible for unemployment benefits. Such idiocy. At least there is some hope that the stupidity of Trump's regime could collapse from the inside.

Trump's attack on the Federal Reserve doesn't only affect Americans. It affects everyone who invests in USD. Many investors use USD assets because they are seen as safe and liquid. Once the Federal Reserve is politicized, global trust in the USD will fall. China will gain influence as a result.

Naotoshi Maeda @naotoshimaeda.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

These horrifying ICE operations are not new in America. If you study history, you will notice that they use the same tactics as slave patrols. Trump's America is repeating a long-documented history of oppression. People would do well to remember that.

The POC who work at ICE should realize they will never become white. They will never receive white privilege by proximity. Cooperating with Trump's racist regime will never make them white in the eyes of racists. They are just tools and pawns of white supremacists. Pathetic.

The murder of Renee Nicole Good is not just a case of a white woman being killed. It's the killing of an LGBTQIA+ mother and wife. It's important to know that Trump's violence is always against minorities. ICE knows its targets.

In 2025, Fetterman and Shaheen voted for 11 out of 22 of Trump's nominees, the highest support among Democratic senators. The GOP's lowest voting record is 18, held by McConnell. Compared to Warren's 1 and Schumer's 2, their horrifying voting records should not just be forgotten.

The House passed the extension of ACA subsidies, but it still needs to pass the Senate. Call the GOP senators, and don't forget to also call the 8 Democratic senators who caved during the government shutdown. Let them know they cannot screw us over again.

This moment will decide if there's a future presidential run for Tim Walz. This is the moment he should deliver a very public rebuke to Trump's fascist regime, like the map fight by Newsom. He needs to prove he will stand in defense of his citizens against the tyrant.

Hilton is a private business. Private businesses have every right to refuse service to government officials if they so choose. Government officials attacking Hilton for not receiving special treatment shows how this country is trying to model Soviet-style government control over private business.

The reason for Trump's illegal military action in Venezuela is his private business interests in oil. Maduro being a dictator is not an issue for him. Don't credit this malicious grifter with benevolent reasons for his illegal actions. He only weaponizes the military for himself.

Nixon's AG John N. Mitchell was only convicted after the regime weakened. He used the DOJ to protect Nixon, obstruct justice, and target political opponents. Pam Bondi is doing the same thing for her cult leader Trump. He'll sacrifice her before this ends.

Birthright citizenship exists because Americans fought a war over slavery. Gun rights exist because America relied on citizen militias. The 3rd Amendment exists because of prior British rules. Constitutional rights cannot be voided based on "original intent." SCOTUS can't afford to screw this up.
