We have received multiple calls today regarding Palestinian nationals detained by ICE, and/or visited by the FBI.

The FBI has also visited multiple mosques today, in different states, as well as Arab inmates.

This is a troubling trend.

Viet Nguyen and I write about the false myth of an "Asian American penalty" in college admissions here - the evidence against it and why it continues to circulate, despite this evidence.

Check out this cool NYT interactive history of Asian Actors at the Oscars. Honored to contribute this quote: “Roles in the past all fit into the ‘exotic East’…You are only seeing Asia through war or martial arts or sexual fantasies.” https://t.co/0gmtoaIJAn

Have we become a community that's more willing to carry each other's offenses rather than each other's burdens? - Minister Sandy Vargas #thisisaword

The FBI paid an informant tens of thousands of dollars to infiltrate racial justice movements during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Denver.

To create division, he accused activists of working with the police, and set up others to be arrested.

"I like to say that hope in the face of reality is a revolutionary act, and you try to be a revolutionary every day. If you give up hope, you should probably get out of the way of the people who are going to fuel the change that needs to come." - Dr. Phillip Goff

Refusing to watch these videos is not the same as looking away. I still have not watched the murder of George Floyd. What circulates under the guise of Evidence is consistently violent for Black people. This is not how we mourn.

A @gofundme has been established for the victims of the #HalfMoonBay shooting. 100% of the proceeds will go to victims and surviving families, many of whom are facing a myriad of challenges as a result of this horrific tragedy. https://t.co/V6wEWHkWmZ

You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police.

You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma.

It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.

Grateful for the partnership between aapiNHV and @YaleAACC this past year🌺

In Connecticut, from 2010 to 2020, the AAPI population grew by 30%. Not only that, the number of eligible AAPI voters grew by 60% – including 25% of whom are AAPI youth! [1/2]

The police care what words you use - and don't use - about them.

Israel didn’t want the world to see this movie.

@FarhaFilm, directed by @DarinSallam, tells the story of the Nakba, when Israeli forces killed and displaced thousands of Palestinians from their homeland, through the eyes of a teenage girl.

Sending love to those facing this season after major losses.

May you create new traditions that nourish you as you also give yourself space to grieve.

If you’re still here this is a MUSK READ. He’s a tyrant & dominating the news like tfg. But this spotlight is exposing his financial & political weaknesses like never before. The halo is gone, bubble is bursting. Every narcissistic move compounds problem https://t.co/fFBZIVUipz

For the record, the chancellor was NOT attempting to speak an actual language. It was his racist, made-up approximation of an Asian language. Think "ching chong."

This is the most beautiful and powerful speech I’ve ever seen. I love Lizzo so much

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Do you know it’s possible to celebrate progress, while also knowing there’s more to be done?

To feel joy about #BrittneyGriner’s release AND realize the work is not over in this nation or abroad concerning unjust imprisonment?

Don’t let your 1st response always be bitterness.

LGBTQ+ adults deserve to become LGBTQ+ elders.

LGBTQ+ elders deserve to age with dignity, joy, and affirmation.
