Donald Trump threatening the destruction of an entire civilization is madness.

He is completely unfit to serve as President of the United States.

Invoke the 25th Amendment. Or Republicans must stand up with us to impeach him. We cannot allow him to set fire to the world.

The best valedictorian speech ever…

“Fuck ICE, and Fuck the Trump Administration…”

@RepDerekTranCA It's a slap in the face to our Vietnamese community when you continue to use our refugee stories and trauma in your criticism of other politicians, while ignoring the rights that have been ripped away from immigrant communities here.

It's time for you to step up and defend us.

[Tracy La @_TracyLa]

Where is the outrage for Vietnamese refugees who are being detained without due process and deported to Vietnam by the Trump administration, @RepDerekTranCA?

Your constituents in the 45th have called on you to defend their rights. Where have you been?

[Rep. Derek Tran @RepDerekTranCA]

President Trump’s billion-dollar business deal in communist Vietnam is a slap in the face to the Vietnamese Americans who look to our government as a beacon of freedom and democracy. Instead of using trade negotiations as an opportunity to lower prices for American consumers and hold Vietnam accountable for its violation of human rights, President Trump is focusing on enriching himself and his family. Working families in CA-45 expect more; I’m standing up for them. https://t.co/iZQqGBVx8S

The Democratic Party is not the party of the working class. This is the consequence of co-opting progressive movements to please corporations and billionaires.

Trump’s fake economic populism has moved the working class towards fascism and nativism.

BREAKING: OC Supervisor Andrew Do resigns effective immediately, following announcement he agreed to plead guilty in scheme to steal millions of dollars meant to feed needy seniors.

[VietRISE @vietriseoc]

VietRISE, @HarborInstOC & @OCJusticeFund respond to Andrew Do’s resignation and guilty plea announced today.

Do’s resignation is a necessary but insufficient response to the rampant corruption he has perpetuated while in office. He represents the worst of our elected officials.

I don’t aspire to be a media watchdog, the glass houses of my 29 years in daily journalism, etc.

But when I woke up to *this* as the lead online article for America’s most powerful news organization, I winced. And it’s bothered me all day, because of its sweeping assertions. 🧵

BREAKING: Orange County officials are demanding the refund of millions in tax dollars that county Supervisor Andrew Do gave to a nonprofit linked to his daughter — saying Viet America Society has failed to show it actually did the work it was paid to do.

Santa Ana is one of the many cities in CA w/ the constitutional autonomy to expand the electorate to noncitizens. Immigrants and refugees are the economic backbone and heart of Santa Ana.

[VietRISE @vietriseoc]

A new 2024 national survey on Asian American voters reveals significant ideological shifts among Vietnamese voters.

These findings confirm what we've known: Vietnamese Americans are advocates for social justice & support progressive policies that uplift marginalized communities.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws]

Badr Dahlan’s full interview, listen to what he has to say, I have no words to describe what he’s been through.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws]

Bader Dahlan, 29, recently released from an Israeli prison, endured severe torture including electrocution and brutal beatings during his one-month detention. Held in Netzarim, Khan Yunis, he describes prison as a nightmare, recounting forced movements on his hands and repeated strikes on his limbs. The psychological impact has left him confused and fearful, especially upon hearing that Khan Yunis was destroyed and losing track of his family. Now in a hospital, Bader feels suffocated and overwhelmed by the trauma.

@IvxnEnriquez For real!

[Ivan Enriquez @IvxnEnriquez]

And Do hasn’t resigned either, a statewide embarrassment.

Kind of racist by this tabloid to mix two Latino councilmember last names 🤷🏽‍♂️
