Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on today’s ruling: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”
RETWEET if you stand with Justice Sotomayor!

RT if you agree.
My friends, artists Salomon Huerta and Ana Morales lost their Altadena home and everything in it—their art and means of producing their work. Please support this GoFundMe by donating or sharing—every bit of help makes a difference. gofund.me/6603dc00

Somebody’s decided to get on twitter today and say “IM SUSPICIOUS OF BIG WORDS, BIG WORDS MEAN ROBOT” and to my fellow literary friends on this word-based medium, I say, get him.

just a friendly reminder that if you want small, independent businesses to survive, you have to shop there once in a while. you can't just backsource everything you find there and try to find a cheaper price online. or if you do, don't performatively lament when they shutter.

"They'll get tired of not writing."
Writers?
"They're not used to being unemployed this long."
We're still talking about writers, right?
"They will want to work."
Have you ever met one?
"At some point it becomes self-destructive."
THAT'S THEIR ENTIRE THING

Your Monday must-read. @nicolesjchung asks: "Who gets to be a writer or an editor? Who can choose to prioritize their creative goals, take potentially career-making risks, invest precious years in this work without the guarantee of financial stability?" esquire.com/entertainment/bo…

FINALLY! At last, the @latimes does a deep dive into Kevin de Leon’s shady connection to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation & Michael Weinstein. @Kdeleoncd14 was paid at least $100k by AHF just six months before taking office.

ALT Inside the financial ties between a controversial housing nonprofit and Kevin de LeĂłn
ALT In fact, he was a consultant working for the foundation, a job that would pay him more than $100,000 in the six months prior to his taking office.
ALT “It’s pretty stunning. This is really unethical.” Ravel said De León should recuse himself from voting on matters related to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation because of the council member’s past relationship with the organization.

The @nytimes published the essay I wrote about the three mass shooters at Laguna Woods, Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay—Asian men who took Asian lives using the most American of killing instruments: guns.
Here it is as a gift. Please share it if you can.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Monterey Park.
Ming Wei Ma was a dance instructor & owner of the Star Dance Studio. He was described as a caring person with a selfless nature. He was the first to rush towards the shooter to try & save others.

Say you go to a party with your friends. No one masks.
You go about your life for the next few days. Maskless, of course.
You wake up 5 days later with a sore throat. You test positive. You bounce back in a week.
That’s your experience…but it goes far beyond you. 🧵1/10
