@POTUS It’s wonderful that a minority female is being considered, but there’s no Asian representation, male or female. When RBG passed in Oct, my daughter, then a 4th grader, wrote a piece saying how that moment provided an opportunity to fill that gap - our kids ARE watching.

My 5 yr old boy came home and asked me why bigger kid kept calling him Chinese Boy. My son, confused, told the boy I’m a New Jersey Boy. He laughed it off but my eyes welled up. 50 yrs ago my parents immigrated here but we cannot shake shadow of foreignness. #StopAsianHate THREAD

@CeFaanKim @NYPDAsianHCTF How is the condition of the victim? I have been searching around to see how his condition is but I haven’t been able to find any updates.

New York reporter @CeFaanKim from @abc7ny on why hate crimes are difficult to prosecute: “Hate crimes are the only crimes that require a proof of motive.“

@ericnamofficial @TIME This is so well written & articulates what many of us want to say but don’t know how to express. Thank you. It’s all so sad - earlier this wk, a 13y old boy was harassed in NY. My son is about that age - to know that could easily have been him breaks my heart. #StopAsianHate

[VLS (이주연) @Viv_CT]

@CeFaanKim I think of my own son who is a little younger than this boy. My son is very trusting & would absolutely not know what to do if a group of kids ganged up on him while spewing hateful comments. My heart is breaking for this boy and for the entire Asian community. #StopAsianHate

IDENTITY CRISIS: South Korean actor Youn Yuh-jung, who lived in Florida decades ago, said she doesn't "fully" comprehend why Asian Americans cry after watching the film she stars in, "Minari." #미나리

“In that moment, I learned that inaction to stop despicable acts means acceptance, and that is as damaging as the despicable act itself.”

@girlscouts @GSofCT - please reshare the GMW tweet below. Girl Scouts is a symbol of diversity and leadership. Let’s teach our kids to stand up against what’s wrong. In my troop, we represent 10 countries in our heritage. This affects all of us. #AAPI #StopAsianHate

@girlscouts wants to know what makes me happy - my twin brother does. I wouldn’t have survived remote school w/o him. We make up games during breaks & lunchtime, we help each other when we don’t understand something, & he makes me laugh SO much! #YaySweepstakes #bestbrotherever

@raymondjlee 1) You are doing a great job as evidenced by your social posts;
2) ignore the trolls (as hard as it is);
3) thank you for bringing light to it, as I am 100% guilty of bashing my husband sometimes...esp when I’m really frustrated.

[VLS (이주연) @Viv_CT]

@raymondjlee 💕I agree - that last comment is unfair bc they are assuming that your child is in a mom/dad household. Although hubs and I fall into the many gender stereotypes, I’ll be the first to admit that I suck at doing things that my mom did well when filling the traditional mom role.

B won a @GSofCT Cookie Commercial Contest for the song she wrote - a Board Member promoted her commercial which got her a bunch of new cookie orders! She’s 40 boxes away from the next “cookie reward” level. Can you help her reach her goal? To order, click https://t.co/VX6evrARb8

@danieldaekim @nytimes How do I explain this to (my) Asian American kids who are every bit as American as their peers?

“...he had advised the lady “you are in america…NOT CHINA! Please give me space with coronavirus.””

My kids would have said, “Duh! NYC is not in China...”
