[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

The mental health implications of racial discrimination against #AAPIs have been especially devastating, with 1 in 5 experiencing racial trauma. Our communities are concerned about the dual pandemic of COVID and anti-API hate. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom support #APIEquityBudget.

[SEARAC @SEARAC]

Make historic investments to address longstanding inequities for API communities. We deserve to be seen through disaggregated data. We deserve to be supported and protected in school. We deserve a right to language justice. @GavinNewsom @CAgovernor support #APIEquityBudget.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

As we mourn the lives lost to hateful violence, we must also act. To stand in solidarity w/ Georgia’s AAPI community after yesterday’s tragic events, please follow the lead of my friends at @AsianAAF.

@petridishes This promotes toxic masculinity

@emilybazelon love the new article from @NYMag I can’t help but wonder about the issue that it’s not the govt or corporations that should regulate lying but rather it’s the lost virtue of just telling the truth @johndickerson @davidplotz

My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol.

[Chris Punongbayan @cpunongbayan]

Grrrr I had so much I wanted to get done today!!

[Rachael Rollins @DARollins]

So let me make sure I understand this:
Black and taking a knee = unAmerican;
White and taking the Capitol = patriotism; Black and protesting for your life = rioter; White and denying the election results = free speech.
Law & order has always been a dog whistle. Change is coming

Why is no one stopping this?

If someone you love and care about voted the other way, today might be a good day to reach out. Not to talk politics, but to talk about things that will remind them (and yourself) why you love and care about them.
