In Tokyo for the marathon and love this LGBTQ inclusive sign I saw in the very large cosmetics section of a convenience/ drug store. Considering how East Asian is often portrayed as being more homophobic, this was nice to see.

My son is 15. One year younger than this child. My son is a 6’2” baby, not even close to an adult. My heart breaks for all involved in this. Two lives are now destroyed. When science repeatedly shows that kids’ brains are still developing into their 20s, how can we do this apple.news/A_b8YkCB4SB2...

Trump/Elon say these programs harm AsAms, but I’ve been in convo with AsAm students working with other students of color to defend their campus programs and student centers. Don’t believe the fascist trolls in the White House!
New letter from Trump Dept of Ed suggests racial equity programs/DEI disadvantage #AsianAmericans and whites. Asian Americans, we should challenge this false, dangerous narrative EVERY SINGLE TIME. @oiyanpoon.bsky.social and I show why below

I’ve been following this story and it’s been breaking my heart. They’re saying it’s not a hate crime because his attackers were part of the LGBTQ+ community?! There are hateful ppl in all communities www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...

We shouldn’t expect the youth to save us, but maybe they will save themselves (and us along the way. We don’t deserve them.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

I hate making phone calls (even for pizza) but this is what we do to resist mow.
each time I feel myself starting to panic about this godforsaken country, I try to take action. The action itself brings calm, proving to my body that hope is a verb, etc.
calling my reps takes minutes, for instance, & the 5 calls app makes it especially easy:
