I, too, sing America...

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

~Langston Hughes

Some people make the world a better place. @joyzabala was some people. She will be missed.

[CAST @CAST_UDL]

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the death of our dear friend and colleague, Joy Zabala. Her joyous spirit lives on in each life she touched, including ours. https://t.co/LmE3ntklkt

My heart breaks for those we lost in these senseless shootings. And this is all the more painful because AAPIs have spent the last year telling you that our communities were in danger. We cannot move forward -- we cannot heal -- until our country reckons with & stops AAPI hate.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

The former President used racist phrases like Kung Flu that inflamed discrimination against the Asian American community. Officials that continue to use ethnic identifiers in describing the virus are part of the problem. Please instead be a part of the solution. #StopAsianHate

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

i don't think it's a coincidence that Trump spent the better part of a year using a virus as a slur against Chinese people while hate crimes against Asian Americans spiked by 150 percent

Trevor Noah slams claim that racism didn’t motivate Atlanta shootings: "Your murders speak louder than your words" https://t.co/30yp3VLc2j

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

The guy who poisons his own political opposition in his own country wants a debate with a U.S. president?

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

“Hate can have no safe harbor in America,” President Biden said, calling on Americans to stand up to bigotry when they see it. “Our silence is complicity. We cannot be complicit.” Amen!

He wasn’t just a man—he was a man committing a hate crime.

139 House Republicans voted to overturn 2020 election with zero evidence of fraud after domestic terrorists stormed Capitol

0 House Republicans voted for covid relief after 500,000 dead

[Alisa Lowrey @AlisaLowrey]

Yes 🙌

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

This is what the Republican Party has reduced itself to. Worshippers of the golden Trump.

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

Too many racists who only believe in white supremacy, but not science or reality, still hold positions of power in 2021.

[Sen. Maggie Hassan @SenatorHassan]

Dark money has no place in our elections – that's why the Senate must pass the #DISCLOSE Act and require big, anonymous donors to report their political spending.

[Janet Johnson @JJohnsonLaw]

The fact that they found the parents of the 500 stolen migrant children in 30 days doesn’t seem to be getting the coverage it deserves.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

139 police officers being injured and one dying protecting the guy who led the #SeditionCaucus is just too boring for him to be bothered with. He has to check how his latest TV hit is doing.

[Donna Ladd said what she said.😘 @DonnerKay]

I call this kind of thinking the Mississippi Problem when a bunch of supposedly superior folks try to paint en entire state with the same brush and not know that’s bigotry, too.
