#NYP observed a moment of silence to remember the victims of anti-Asian hate crimes. We also want to be loud & clear: We stand w/ the #AAPI community & refuse to stand by in the face of heinous acts of anti-Asian violence & racism across #NY & the U.S.: nyphosp.co/3cJXmLe

A small business. A vigil. A neighborhood. A club. A party. A grocery store. In seven days there were seven mass shootings, as everyday gun violence has taken countless lives.

For many Asian-American women, the suggestion that the Georgia gunman was motivated by racism or sexism, not both, fails to recognize their reality: the two have always been inextricably intertwined. nyti.ms/3108Of2

Can’t decouple racism from misogyny and the uniquely awful ways it plays out for Asians, sources tell @kimmythepooh. Story now leading the site @NBCNews. art by @chelseastahl nbcnews.com/news/asian-ameri…

My latest: A new @StopAAPIHate report revealed nearly 3,800 incidents reported over the course of ~1yr during the pandemic. Women made up a far higher share of the reports at 68 percent, compared to men, who made up 29 percent of respondents.

A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.
Wow, a fantastic @washingtonpost piece by @nnekamcguire . We live in a contradictory society that can celebrate a black girl poet & also pepper spray a 9 yr old. Yes see me, but also see all other black girls who've been made invisible. I can not, will not, rise alone.
