NEW: We spent months exploring Covenant Fellowship Church, a mostly Asian American congregation on the @Illinois_Alma campus.

What we found was a story about sexual and spiritual abuse — and a culture of piety and shame that sought to keep it all hidden.https://t.co/cuw36sQbm7

@chicagoredstars the bird friend is back on the field, might be trying to sub in.

@Harold_Frank_N The fruits of the harvest this year are looking great!

.@chris29thward Use your position as an elected leader to support racial justice during these times. I ask that you schedule a joint Education and Public Safety committee BEFORE the July City Council meeting so that #PoliceFreeSchools can be put to a full vote.

When @PBS "Asian Americans" producer @rtajima told her 6th grade class about Japanese American incarceration during WWII, her teacher called her a liar. The exchange fueled her filmmaking work. “We have to tell our own truth.” My latest for @WBEZ. #APAHM https://t.co/SUlSAlxy5V

@Harold_Frank_N Harold! I’m touched by your close reading of the piece. Really loved hearing your thoughts in response to the article!

From @yang85225: "As people, we are more than the sum of the data we produce and, as communities, we are capable of answering the public health challenge of COVID-19 without succumbing to invasive surveillance." https://t.co/ylRTZdN9KV

@Harold_Frank_N Thanks for doing your part in keeping the virus at bay! Jealous of your shelter-at-home setup!

Last Saturday, a group of Japanese-Americans rallied in downtown Chicago to protest the separation and detention of migrant families. "We say never again, never again is now!" they chanted. https://t.co/GUcm1yXUib

☎️Two anti-immigrant bills, Goodlatte & Ryan-Trump, will rip families apart. Call your House leaders NOW & tell them to #ValueOurFamilies. Use this tool: https://t.co/LkRagDc0hp ☎️

@tan123 1. US doesn't have its own atmosphere -- what is the global hurricane count? 2. Hurricane intensity should also be considered with frequency

[Matt Zhou @yang85225]

@tan123 Wow! Since there's such a global grain production glut, I'm sure nobody in the world is starving anymore now! What a time to be alive.

@SeanSublette Fantastic! What kind of unique value is there that meteorologists can bring to climate activism that climate scientists can't? #curiouscity

[Matt Zhou @yang85225]

From a meteorologist perspective, is TV broadcast an effective medium to reach regular viewers/change minds? #curiouscity

And make sure to read @marcfilippino’s story picking apart prayer in @CityofAuroraIL's City Council: https://t.co/Yiu5AO3p58 #curiouscity

[Chicago-Kent Law @ChicagoKentLaw]

@WBEZCuriousCity @yang85225 court has held that students can be coerced easily, even if supposedly voluntary. #curiouscity

[Matt Zhou @yang85225]

@ChicagoKentLaw Interesting. Are there differences in how schools and city councils are litigated when it comes to religion? #curiouscity

[Matt Zhou @yang85225]

@ChicagoKentLaw Have there been other cases of prayer protocols being challenged in court? #curiouscity

[Matt Zhou @yang85225]

@mfilippino Especially in light of Islamophobia in recent years, has Muslim presence or invocation dropped off? #curiouscity
