AAPI fam….the Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action is a bad one. Our community is harmed by it. Don’t let anyone fool you.

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.
w/ Google layoffs, a good day to remember that our immigration system is so screwed up that anyone laid off at Google on a visa (or Microsoft, or Amazon, etc) only has 60 days to get a job or get out of the US

@BrittaniWarrick Isn’t it wild hold bold pre-check makes you? I was always an early arriver before I had it, and now I get some sick thrill out of testing its limits 😅 have a lovely trip!!
This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested.
These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric.

just so were all clear, Musk is firing half of Twitter's staff, including huge swaths of their content moderation capability, four days before opening up identity-confirmation-free verification to the whole website which will happen...the day before a national election.
0% surprised that the maliciousness of the chief twit has been met with DROVES of supporters for & among Tweeps. What a community. 💙 If you’re impacted by the layoff and need job search, resume, interviewing, or *screaming into the ether* help, HMU. #LoveWhereYouWorked
very grim to continuously hear about layoffs and never hear about executive compensation getting slashed
if you thought you worked for a "good company" (already an oxymoron) and they've laid people off but not cut executive bonus/salary, remember this moment.
Asian American identity is being hijacked by a white supremacist agenda to end affirmative action. The majority supports Affirmative action and it’s the elite minority of AAPI who are against it. The decision seems all but inevitable but AAPI still have to speak out against it!
We're seeing reports that a slice of Twitter may be intentionally testing boundaries on what types of speech will be allowed on the platform today. A few reminders:
The amount of brainwashing needed to think the richest guy on earth owning Twitter, the second richest guy owning the Washington post, and the fifth richest guy owning Facebook and Instagram could possibly be a good thing is immense.
