Reflecting on Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay—I wrote about how fighting for safety in Asian American communities means looking beyond policing to empower and bridge Asian Americans in different movements to organize around united political demands for community safety.

This is so important. Asian American history cannot be understood w/out understanding Black history & the suppression of one should draw outrage & solidarity from the other. I hope everyone who supports HB287/ SB294 joins in opposing DeSantis’s ban on AP African American Studies.

Asian American education policy is sweeping the nation, which is needed esp after the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. One case I want to zoom in on is Fla. If Florida passes HB 287 / SB 294, yet suppresses Black history education, it will speak volumes a/b who is preferred. 1/2

My latest. Black journalists knew from the jump that the end game of the CRT panic was to justify legalizing anti-Black efforts. Florida and DeSantis are showing us what was under their *ahem* hoods this entire time.

Florida’s rejection of AP African American studies shows what the fight against critical race theory was all about: making institutional anti-Blackness lawful again.

The “systemic” part in systemic racism means that anyone who participates in that system—whatever their demographic background or sociocultural location—can participate and be complicit in the racism of that system. It’s structural not just attitudinal. #TyreNichols

Tyre Nichols remembered as beautiful soul with creative eye

I need so many people to understand this regarding Tyre Nichols. Several of the police officers who murdered Freddie Gray were Black. The entire system of policing is based on white supremacist violence. We see people under the boot of oppression carry its water all the time.
