on today’s episode of mental breakdowns: do i actually want to go into the stem/medical field or am i just programmed to think that’s where i belong because of the fact that i’m asian 🤠
this is not the end of the fight. this is the beginning of what will hopefully be huge institutional change. there are still black people dying. there are still bad cops. there is still injustice. this is not over. #BlackLivesMatter
while i’m happy, i’m thinking of the black men and women who didn’t get the same justice. i’m thinking of the damage done to the floyd family that won’t be erased by a guilty verdict. i’m thinking about my black friends/extended family that are still healing. #BlackLivesMatter

He faces a maximum 75 years in prison.
In the wake of last week’s Atlanta spa shootings, my friends Cathleen, YB, Alexandria, and Aiko discuss how they’ve uniquely experienced misogyny, fetishization, and being taught silence as Asian American women. #TalkAsianHate

Guamanians have the same constitutional right to abortion as anyone else in the United States.
Our ability to access it shouldn't depend on which state or territory we live in.
Abortion is health care. Abortion is a right.
The lack of abortion access also creates unique burdens for US servicemembers and military dependents who live on the island, and are subjected to federal laws designed to push abortion out of reach.
Making people fly thousands of miles to exercise their rights perpetuates second-class citizenship, a legacy of US colonialism too often imposed on those in territories.
And it's an Indigenous and racial justice issue: these restrictions disproportionately harm Chamorro people.
Travel restrictions and quarantines in Hawai'i and Guam make accessing care even more difficult.
Every day escalates the risk of COVID and cost of travel, requires more time off work and away from family, and makes it more difficult to keep one's abortion decision private.
In Guam, where the poverty rate is higher than anywhere in the 50 states and DC, these obstacles can be insurmountable, forcing people to forgo the care they need.
We're suing to ensure that these restrictions don't prevent anyone else in Guam from accessing abortion care.
Because of these laws, people in Guam are being forced to leave the island just to exercise their constitutional rights.
They have to fly 4,000 miles each way to Hawai'i — often a multi-day journey, for which airfare alone is over $1,000 — just to access abortion.
