I don't think I will ever get used to visiting DC and not seeing both of my grandparents there. Last time I visited I made this short video about my Grandpa who passed away earlier this year

We are installing pedestrian refuge islands on Chestnut Street to keep everyone safe, no matter how they travel.
Traffic violence is real violence, and it is preventable. This traffic calming measure will get us even closer to achieving Vision Zero.
Pedestrian "refuge islands" are being built at more than a dozen intersections along Chestnut Street in West Philly.

Ramadan Mubarak to all who are celebrating! We hope this month brings you peace and joy.
Happy project for awesome! Every time I finish a row of the temperature blanket I've been working on, I will post a P4A video that I'm supporting, and you should vote for!
To start off - my video supporting the future of Asian American organizing

ALT A striped crochet blanket that begins with lots of stripes of blue and purple and then goes into greens and yellows, and is now adding stripes of orange
I've added a stripe of yellow and have also voted for the video made by @firewordsparkler supporting @PACCUSA so that they can get a #ProjectForAwesome grant again this year! 💙🍉 projectforawesome.com/watch?…
I finished work and have been a mod in the #p4a2025 livestream - and finished a row of green!
I also voted for Camp Lilac, a summer camp for trans and gender diverse youth! 🏳️⚧️

ALT Katrina is clearly using their temperature blanket as a blanket even as they are making it. A stripe of green sits on top as the newest row.
Happy project for awesome! You can vote for my video now to support the future of Asian American organizing projectforawesome.com/watch?…

Let me tell you a story:
In 2015 I was working on a Presidential campaign and one night some of the staff go to dinner. While there, the person heading up our campaign research (let’s call him Research Guy) looked at me and said he wanted to give me some advice.
He said I will need to get some additional experience before I am able to make this much money again. 🧵
Katrina Eames retweeted
A lot of people in this country including the President sound like Research Guy right now. I have some advice:
Do not allow these people to run you out of the room.
Do not stop working.
Do not give them the benefit of the doubt.
They have no idea of your power.
Show them.

Here is some good news to end the week from @apipennsylvania and the @SaveChinatownPA coalition.
This shows the collective power we wield when we come together across race, background, and faith to demand a future where all of our families can thrive:

After two and a half years of battling, *WE WON* !!
Fighting for working people, for working families and for our last community of color in Center City will continue to matter and we must work to grow the Save Chinatown Coalition deep into the future. 💪🏼❤️🔥

I believe to my C O R E that people listening to things without headphones so ubiquitously came because of the loss of headphone jacks!!!
We used to be a society!!!
I love my friends. I love my neighbors. I love my community.
I'm going to keep fighting to protect the people I love - and I would love for you to join us in this fight
And most importantly, we want to welcome you to be a part of what we will be doing next. Become a member of API PA so that you can be involved in building a city and commonwealth that works for everyone who calls it home. apipa.vote/memberdonate

The relationships and community we've built with each other has only made Philly stronger. An arena in our city might not be a threat anymore, but we will still be here protecting and fighting for what our communities across the city need. #SaveChinatown #NoArena #Philadelphia
Katrina Eames retweeted
Today the No Arena coalition let everyone know what we think about the Center City Sixers arena no longer haunting our city. This coalition is made up of people from all across the city, from all different backgrounds, who came together to fight for a city that works for everyone

Yesterday the Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board agreed with what @ruephilacouncil and I have been saying for months: The City must lead the reimagining of Market East, in close partnership with the community.
Otherwise, we will continue to be the feeding ground for billionaire developers who, as we saw this week, will always put their interests above Philadelphia’s.
We won! And I'm going to make sure that whatever happens next in that area is going to be based on what our communities actually need, not what a handful of billionaires want so that they can increase their profits. LFG!
There is more news we are expecting to come out in the coming hours and days, but for now let's celebrate because they will not be building an arena in the heart of our city!
