~100 free Palestine protestors remaining after hours of demonstrations in midtown, and what looks like 2x number of NYPD kettling & arresting folks. a block away NYPD on standby being all nice & chummy waving to the white folk out & about outdoor dining #PalestineStrike
this makes me so nostalgic for the Oakland I left some 14 years ago. My parents also moved to the other side of the Bay and I haven’t been back since. Can’t wait to make an overdue trip to my old neighborhood this summer
@TheeAlexLawson undecided on DA since the race is wide open and lots of promising candidates like @TahanieNYC and @TaliFarhadian. Really like what I’ve heard from them. Also my assembly member @AMDanQuart who I like is running as well, so going to have to hear what he says :^)
the 65-yr-old woman could’ve been my mom, my dad, or me. watching such violence play out in broad daylight, in full view of bystanders who did nothing, reinforces this feeling that Asians are invisible in this country, that we don’t belong, that no one cares about our suffering
I cannot get this shameful video out of my mind today. Attacker yelled “You don’t belong here.” But doorman’s actions said same thing when he shut door on a broken woman lying on sidewalk. We as a nation need to talk about bystanders to hate (THREAD) #WeBelong#StopAsianHate
This is insane: Georgia Dem rep @Cannonfor58 was arrested for trying to watch Brian Kemp sign new voter suppression bill. Look at how she is treated by police. This is straight out of Jim Crow
For everyone who needs a space and a moment of solidarity with one another, there are a few different events being planned. Here are a few of them. I will keep adding as I get fliers for other ones.
Fellow NYers: Join us for a peace vigil TOMORROW, 3/19 to honor the victims of the Atlanta shootings, recognize the lives impacted by anti-Asian violence, & make a CTA for leaders to ensure safety for vulnerable AAPI #StopAsianHate
📍Union Square at 6pm
