@edrabinski Thank you for the kind words

Very interested to know how legislators keep arriving at $600 figure. If we’re taking about rent; the lowest MONTHLY rent for 1 br in CA accord to https://t.co/twAyNmNIxC is $633. Most counties however are well above $800. https://t.co/gr5tdOEH5W

How did Arizona go from a Republican stronghold to a blue state?

Activists and organizers have been working toward this moment since hardline anti-immigration laws were introduced in 2010.

[Eric J. Pido @profpido]

That anyone can say that these folks haven’t given everything to this country. This is absurd and horrifying. All my love and gratefulness. 🙏🏽🇲🇽#sonomacountyfires

Donald Trump begins rolling back DACA in defiance of the Supreme Court. “While the president demands law and order and Attorney General William Barr complains about mass disrespect of authority, the administration is intent on getting its way...” https://t.co/P3NNG2HQ8m

“Data compiled by The Times have shown that preexisting health conditions and occupational hazards...contribute to the high number of Filipino American deaths...Most of those who died were older than 60, and many had diabetes and hypertension.” https://t.co/CiQlKR4ixb

Don’t stop with the bridge. We need the John Lewis Voting Rights Act of 2020.

[Eric J. Pido @profpido]

I hate irony.

[Eric J. Pido @profpido]

The Edmund Pettus Bridge. Pettus was a grand dragon in the KKK. Just like today, Lewis, along with hundreds of protesters, were violently beaten in 1965 on Bloody Sunday there. Rename it the John Lewis bridge alone with a hundred other bridges, buildings, and streets.

Report by UCSF finds that #COVID19 deaths disproportionately impact Asian Americans. And apart from SF, 8 U.S. states also reported higher proportions of deaths aside from NJ and NY. Briefing: https://t.co/Yq0pkMzy4S

[Eric J. Pido @profpido]

@angryasianman Virtually impossible to live in SF on 28K salary. 🧵

[Eric J. Pido @profpido]

@AP Are there only Asians who live in Victoria, what kind of subliminal racist bs is this image?

[Eric J. Pido @profpido]

@Yamiche The way he smiles. Any Asian American who experiences this kind of racism know this condescension all too well. You thought this family wouldn’t be protected, you were wrong you evil pos. 👏🏽 to the waitress too.

Just here to say that @PoseOnFX has been the most uplifting and inspirational thing that I've seen during this entire nightmare called 2020.
