Outrageous & unacceptable war crime committed by #Myanmar military on gathering of #Kachin civilians! Maximum efforts needed to pressure SAC junta. @ASEAN Foreign Ministers need to end the 5PC, move to implement sanctions vs junta #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar https://t.co/lB8EbQd7EC

@pennlaw I was naive to think that esteemed institutions gave tenure to intellectuals with principles and values that align with that of the institution. I’m either wrong about that, or about my understanding of @pennlaw principles. Or both.

This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for Congress. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.

[NPR @NPR]

Asian Americans are still perceived as the “model minority.”

But this is a myth — one that flattens diverse experiences and doesn’t align with current statistics.

Here are misconceptions that have arisen from the trope.

If critical race theory threatens your Christianity, you may be worshipping whiteness.

Many people more eloquent than me have responded to this tweet, but since I’m a journalist myself + Burmese, female & NOT white, I feel I should point out to Clarissa why some of us have an issue with her trip & respond to this tone-deaf tweet. (THREAD) #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

What this supports: Independent journalism in Myanmar. An antidote to the misinformation, disinformation, and lack of information created by the junta.

Here are four LEGIT resources you can donate to support people fighting/ trying to survive the murderous regime in #Myanmar. We know the people running it. They are true, solid, working tirelessly and carefully to make sure money is getting in the right hands. (1/)

What this supports: Direct cash for striking civil servants with zero salary; emergency healthcare facilities where the military have taken control of hospitals; and journalists and activists. A hundi system transfers $ anonymously.

Made an active google doc (linked here) to help consolidate Asian American community and justice organizations to look into, mutual aid links etc. Many of the orgs linked need donations. https://t.co/OxCiMbvnTS

#MayankAmin is a hero.

Behind the counter of a pharmacy in Schwenksville, near Philadelphia, owner Mayank Amin has been working late into the night since his independent drugstore received state approval to administer COVID vaccines in late January https://t.co/hPk2QVHHaX 1/5

Myanmar Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun's speech to the UN General Assembly denouncing the military's coup is so impressive that it is worth sharing in full. Please spread it far and wide.

MacArthur's Office of Evaluation seeks a Learning Officer to join our team and support learning within the institution.

Happy to talk with anyone interested. Please share widely. https://t.co/xRonxID5z8

The #FBI is still seeking information to help identify individuals who actively instigated violence on January 6 in Washington, D.C. Visit https://t.co/h36NpdxbEh to see images from current cases, and if you see someone you recognize, submit a tip at https://t.co/buMd8vYXzH.

📍Everyone needs to read this 40-year saga of Dr Katalin Karikó, inventor of the mRNA therapy behind Pfizer/BioNTech & Moderna #COVID19 vaccines. Rejected many times, nevertheless she persisted. She will win the Nobel Prize. Oh she’s an *immigrant* too! https://t.co/bxMLTQLPN0
