What should be a part of the Oscars conversation?
Ava DuVernay’s Origin.
Thankfully, the film’s legacy will go beyond who and what wins what tonight. It is essential viewing for this essential time.
82 years ago, Executive Order 9066 was signed—authorizing the unjust internment of over 120,000 Japanese Americans.
It was a grave, horrific mistake.
To ensure this national travesty never happens again, we must pass my Korematsu-Takai Civil Liberties Protection Act.
Germany came out of WWII with the determination to never make the same mistakes again. While their history will forever be stained by the horrors of the Holocaust, there is arguably no better nation to prevent it from happening again.
This is why the German government is so harsh in its laws about Holocaust denial.
It's also why the German government is coming forward to defend Israel against accusations of genocide at the IJC. Their spokesman said, “The accusation has no basis in fact,” and warned that the German government will not allow the misuse of the (UN) Genocide Convention for "political instrumentalization."
BIG NEWS! First video of my Senate campaign is out.
I’m building a different kind of politics, so I made a completely different kind of political video. Something real. No scripts.
Watch to the end as I put my heart in this. Please share and donate: https://t.co/FP0UpXr8yb

A few weeks ago I wrote a LinkedIn post about the lack of mentors for mid- to senior-level POC (specifically AAPI) professionals in the entertainment industry. I deleted the post because I thought I was just me feeling a certain way. Turns out it wasn't. https://t.co/gPYjz6G9kS
A 6-year old boy stabbed 26 times, just for being Muslim, according to detectives.
This is unspeakable.
I pray that love can prevail in these times of so much hate. https://t.co/fkaHZzM0fN
TAAF is proud to be partnering with @sundanceorg, returning for the 2nd year of the Sundance Institute | TAAF Fellowship + Collab Scholarship to provide both emerging and established AAPI storytellers with support to develop their skills & bring their projects to life.
We condemn the deadly attacks today in Israel and stand in solidarity with the @ADL and our allies in the Jewish community. We mourn the lives lost and express our condolences to those impacted by this tragedy. Hate is not the answer.
After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said “I am not going anywhere.” As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity. Please join me:

Thank you, @abbydphillip, for having me on @CNN to talk about the recent events around the X platform. It’s so crucial for us to focus on the bigger picture – protecting the safety of the Jewish people in the face of increasing, intensifying #antisemitism.
As an AAPI Giving Challenge partner, @ProcterGamble brings representative and equitable storytelling to embrace the AAPI experience. As part of their ongoing advocacy for equality and inclusion, they are taking action to elevate their partners, providing much needed support.
Hate has no place here. Stop antisemitism now. Join the conversation by using #🟦, the Blue Square emoji—a simple, but powerful unifying symbol—to show solidarity and support for the Jewish community and #StandUpToJewishHate. @StandUp2JewHate
