Some beautiful weekend reads for you: check out these "Love Letters to Movement Leaders," including one written by our very own Seng So! Thank you @18millionrising for leading this wonderful project.

Our new zine is here! We're proud to publish Love Letters to Movement Leaders, a collection of letters that celebrate the movement leaders who have shaped our Asian American radical resistance. https://t.co/Z9CYrywtrJ
More than ever we're glued to social media. Remember that FB experiment? They want us to feel scared & divided. If we want a glimpse of what love & freedom feels like, from time-to-time we should log off & connect w/ fam, friends & community. Got nothing to lose but our chains..
We have a domestic terrorist in the Oval Office! @realDonaldTrump & his white supremacist terrorist group need to be arrested & tried! It's a racist-fascist movement, if you don't put it down it will get worse and worse! #BlackLivesMatter#FDT

@realDonaldTrump@nytimes@washingtonpost Says the man who can't spell, can barely put a sentence together & is dumber than my 5 year old. (Trump voice) "media bad. i don't like! change channel." Country descending into chaos because you have never led, don't know how to lead and we never wanted you! Resign & leave now!
The cops, white supremacists, ANTIFA, anarchists, white liberals like Amy Cooper, know... they know that the blame will be placed on black & brown bodies. So they're 1st to loot, burn and incite violence & destruction. BUT WE SEE YOU & WE KNOW. #BlackLivesMatter#DefundThePolice
How do these officers have more PPE (face masks, gas masks, gloves, full body armor, etc...) than nurses, doctors & workers on the frontlines trying to save us from a pandemic? Who are they saving in all of this?!! #DefundThePolice#DefundOPD#DefundLAPD#InvestInCommunities
It's simple, when evaluating property damage, fires, looting etc., ask: who benefits from the narrative this is being done by protesters/BLM or white allies? Obviously not the movement. Police benefit. Trump benefits. White nationalists benefit. So ask, who's really behind it?
@MayorFrey What started as a simple job to put all the resources and pressure you can to charge those killer cops resulted in another example of how leaders are cowards when it comes to police brutality and black lives!
Beware electeds & politicians saying they stand with us & care about us when behind closed-doors they cut critical resources our communities rely on to continue to fund the police. And you wonder why there's so much anger in our communities #DefundThePolice#InvestInCommunities
Speak out to#DefundOPD and #InvestInCommunity at today's 1:30pm #Oakland City Council meeting. Join virtually. All public comment taken at beginning of meeting. Instructions in agenda. https://t.co/9w2Prfuk8k
If you're outraged about the looting & burning. Just remember that the PHILADELPHIA POLICE DROPPED A BOMB on an entire city block, murdering black activists & THE POLICE WERE NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE! This and countless heinous acts by the police is why.

@realDonaldTrump Whether or not large social media companies should be regulated as publishers is totally not a priority right now when the country is on the cusp of a revolution, people are dying, 40 million Americans lost their jobs, and the United States is literally burning. Fix that first.
@amyklobuchar What a joke of a statement by @amyklobuchar! You had a chance to prosecute him & who knows how many other officers who were doing wrong during your time and yet you didn't. You are complicit in this.
How is it possible that a CCN reporter on the scene, covering the news, can get arrested quicker than killer cops?! The justice system is a joke-- always has been. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd#BlackLivesMatter
Happy Valentine’s Day! My favorite part about today is remembering that in 1779, Native Hawaiians killed colonizer Captain Cook upon his 3rd intrusive visit to Hawai’i. Swoon. 😍
Keep your heart in the palms of your people. Love should feel like freedom. #HappyValentinesDay
Activist @seng_so writes a letter to his homeland of Cambodia, in the wake of ICE raids on Southeast Asian refugee communities:
"Even in the whirlwind you made sure to shelter us. You gave rise to a people that withstood. "

oakland families deserve to stay in their homes-- let's #closetheloopholes and protect tenants in duplexes & triplexes. @lorenmtaylor @nikki4oakland @LynetteGM@Kaplan4Oakland@DanKalb @ShengForOakland will you be my valentine and support the moratorium?
