For generations, Indigenous people have protected their lands, languages, knowledge, and traditions.

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor these many contributions and recommit to working alongside Indigenous people to ensure their communities thrive for generations to come.

Young Asian Americans who grew up in U.S. schools say they often felt compelled to hide their culture from their peers — sometimes to protect themselves, a new report says. https://t.co/2GXnTOlJps

Americans abroad face a uniquely complex set of reporting requirements that we here at home aren’t subject to.

I’m joining @RepDonBeyer to create a simplified income tax return for our citizens not living stateside.

September 11, 2001 will live on in history as a day that visited unimaginable loss and irreparable sorrow on people and families across the country. For some of us — including Muslims, Arabs, South Asians and Sikhs — the subsequent rise of Islamophobia has left permanent scars.🧵

During the search for the UNC suspect, police initially detained the wrong Asian individual. I spoke to Asian students who hid during the shooting and dealt with the dual fears of being attacked by the gunman, and being profiled as the suspect by police.

The short film 'Translators,' about 3 immigrant Latino teens who translate for their Spanish-language parents, has been praised for portraying an American experience that has taken place for generations. https://t.co/OLfVzmDbyz

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope — and a reason to keep building a country that lives up to its highest ideals.

As a sociologist, I never imagined
@Forbes featuring my story. I talked to @GoldieChan about my “brand” of fighting for underrepresented voices, reading @SFdirewolf’s inspiring memoir, and believing my best years are yet to come—thanks to Michelle Yeoh. https://t.co/iiiZax1oDu

This conversation is a must-watch for all Asian Americans.

“We are seen...as not white, but above all, not Black," says Dr. Claire Jean Kim (@ucirvine). The challenge is "reconstituting Asian Americanness so that it destabilizes anti-blackness, instead of reinforcing it."👇

I bawled at Iam Tongi’s audition. Thrilled that he made #AmericanIdol history as the first Pacific Islander and Hawaii native winner. https://t.co/NaxgW6NUOL
