Delighted to join the students, teachers, volunteers, parents & grandparents to commemorate 40 years of the DC Taiwanese School, where Taiwanese Americans, across generations, have celebrated their language & culture.
We had a great time celebrating @TulaneLaw @Prof_Hlass, our 2022 Lisa Brodyaga Award recipient, last night!
A highly dedicated mentor and fierce advocate, Laila has brought a tenacious fighting spirit to our movement for more than 15 years. Thank you, Laila! 💐
My 6 y/o son recently bowed to me while saying “Ni-Hao.” I asked him why he did that as we don’t speak Chinese. He said that’s how other kids greet him. Today I told him I’m with the President as he signs a bill paving path towards a National Asian Pacific American Museum.THREAD
Alright, here's my piece on the shooting. This sums up the confusion about the "Chinese" versus "Taiwanese" identity of the shooter, what the initial reactions were in Taiwan, and the larger context of violence in recent years by pro-unification groups it takes place in
Have been thinking about polarization of the Taiwanese diaspora a lot these days, and the devastating news about a shooting near my parents' neighborhood really brought it home. Prayers for the family of John Cheng, 52, husband and father of two, and for the grieving loved ones.

That's a wrap on the oral arguments in the Remain in Mexico case today! Here are 5 things you need to know about the case and what happened today. #SafeNotStranded A 🧵
Dear Friends,
Michael passed away from a blood clot on Friday; you may know he had knee surgery and he had been doing well. The clot came quickly on Friday morning, and he died at home. https://t.co/XGjIO6yyWy
NOW is the time to increase affordable immigration legal services to prep for potential legalization! But the @TheJusticeDept's Recognition and Accreditation program, which builds that capacity, is at a standstill. See @cliniclegal's new report: https://t.co/FGZK7zq9we
DOJ Program to Credential #Immigration Legal Representatives at Virtual Standstill, Leaving Low-Income People Without Representation in Life-or-Death Immigration Matters https://t.co/ZAn9msrY86
A Jewish teaching says those who die just before the Jewish new year are the ones God has held back until the last moment bc they were needed most & were the most righteous. And so it was that #RBG died as the sun was setting last night marking the beginning of RoshHashanah
"If this proposed rule goes into effect, we can no longer be called a beacon of hope and freedom in the world." Close to 80k comments written as of last night. 30 more minutes, folks. Hurry hurry hurry. https://t.co/ek7VUgoaM5
Finally had a moment to blast a comment on the proposed rule to shred #asylum. "It shocks the conscience to see how viciously the proposed rule seeks to dismantle, piece by piece, the system through which our great nation for decades has provided protection to those who need it."
This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. https://t.co/8DteVzexLB
