We’ll, I guess it’s time for me to re-link the old posts I wrote back in 2014.

A disturbing precedent for academic freedom and the silencing of Asian Am Studies is unfolding at Brown University.
Read & sign an open letter opposing the unjust sanctions placed on Prof. Naoko Shibusawa, an important campus leader for racial justice.

The Brown admin punishing a professor for "breaking confidentiality" in an article that criticizes the admin is like the cops arresting an ACAB protestor for jaywalking. Doesn't pass the smell test. Please read & sign the petition.

Whatever we learn next, please be clear you can’t understand places like Monterey Park without Asian American Studies research the mainstream generally ignored for years. Tim Fong wrote this book 29 years ago. tupress.temple.edu/books/the…
Here’s a BBC report of the mass shooting in Monterey Park near Lunar New Year festival site because over 3 hours after the incident, I could not find any national news reports from major U.S. print or broadcast media. (LA Times has headline coverage.)

Let’s put Chancellor Thomas Keon’s racist graduation comments into the context of institutional racism at Purdue NW. There are ZERO Asian American Studies classes in the catalog. Chancellor’s staff has ZERO Asian Americans. 1/🧵

Mayor Breed and her allies have spent the past year playing a clever game, portraying crime as out of control in San Francisco when it suited them in recall elections and policy debates.
How’s that going for them?

You can’t make this up: Samuel Alito said there’s “a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits all the time.” How can anyone—especially Gen Z who saw this court literally overturn the right to an abortion—take this court seriously with people like Alito & Thomas on the bench?

Thread: The Chron just published its 1st major analysis on what the data shows are the differences btw the prosecutorial approaches of the new DA, Jenkins, & her predecessor, Boudin. Below, I'll break down what I think they got right, and what they missed. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/b…

literally a SF Supervisor seeing a random social media post, claiming the subjects are “drug dealers,” and that feeding people on the street “needs to be stopped immediately.”
Reactionary politics continue to rise in the Bay, with lots of assumptions and bad-faith practices.

Beijingers marched to the mid third ring road Liang Ma Qiao Bridge. Google the location so you understand what it means. Unprecedented! History is made already.

Surreal night in Beijing
Protesters chanted "no to covid tests, yes to freedom" for hours
Some cheered for Xi Jinping to step down.
After 2am, police presence ramped up. I asked one what they'd do if people didn't leave. Would they use tear gas? He just said plz go home @cnn

This video puts me finally into tears. A beijing accent voice shouting “we don’t need 为人民服务（a Maoism slogan that claims serving the People, subjects) , we need to help ourselves. We should have humanitarianism, we are humans, with self respect independent dignity and souls

It’s a critical time to cement in place the narrative that Elno is a right-wing fraudster whose business empire is a house of cards that will crash down as his true colors are exposed. Make him lose his money & give up control of this site. The struggle takes many forms.

This seems like a big fucking deal that no one has picked up on:
The American Medical Association has amended their ethical guidance to say that post-Roe, doctors should put their patients' health & safety first, even if it means breaking the law

San Francisco's Sunset District has been electing Chinese American supervisors for more than two decades.
From Yee, Ma, Jew, Chu, Tang, to Mar.
Until now.

Behind the stereotype of Asian Americans are "fiscally conservative," it's the deep distrust towards San Francisco City Hall.
