I was speechless after watching that press conference. Thanks for laying out what was so bone-chilling about what was named (his "bad day") and what was not named-the misogynistic dimensions of anti-Asian racism. To reckon, we have to denounce every bit of it.

The refusal to name anti-Asianess, racism, white supremacy, misogyny, or class in this is whiteness doing what it always does around justifying its death-dealing. The centering of the suspect’s “rage” vs the vulnerability of the victims is also disgustingly familiar. twitter.com/nowthisnews/st…

I hate to ask...don’t they have white prostitutes in Atlanta? He drove to multiple locations where he knew Asians would be present. Odd not seeing a trend there.

The press conference immediately brought me to your work and how we precisely assess and address violence against women of color. To see these oppressive forces as interconnected, we need an intersectional approach. Thank you for your work always. ✊🏾

It’s why need an intersectional analysis. This isn’t just “violence” that popped out of nowhere, but logics derived from white supremacy, patriarchy, histories of imperialism & war, and legacies of race/gender-based violence in Asia/Pacific and US etc.
