The named victims in Monterey park include people of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipino ethnicities. I talk a lot about Pan-Asian solidarity—it’s my heritage as an Asian Californian, and these elders, dancing together, were living it. #MontereyPark

Amid the devastation of the recent shooting, it is inspiring to see Asian Americans – and others – coming together to support one another and the people of #MontereyPark. If you want help, or need help, keep reading to learn how. 🧵

Every country struggles with mental illness.

But the USA has a gun homicide rate 26 TIMES HIGHER than our peers.

The difference is how the @GOP have bowed down to the gun industry. The difference is how easy it is to access to guns and high capacity magazines in our country.

What breaks my heart is, of course the churchgoers welcomed him when he attended service, but the suspect even spoke Taiwanese to everyone. Then he chained all the exits shut from the outside before he started shooting during a photo opp.

Q&A With Prof. Jennifer Lee: Asian American Success Isn’t What You Think It Is

Pop culture often portrays Asian Americans as successful because of strict parenting or just plain hard work. But a new book debunks the “model minority” myth, revealing the way government policies have actually skewed those perceptions. I recently interviewed Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and co-author of The Asian American Achievement Paradox about her research.

Ex-family detention social worker speaks at congressional forum

BY FRANCO ORDOÑEZ

A former social worker told members of Congress on Tuesday that she witnessed rampant abuse and neglect while working at a family detention center in Karnes City, Texas.

Olivia López was among a panel of witnesses that included former detained mothers and mental health experts who shared upsetting accounts of life and work inside the detention centers, the stress of being locked up with their children and the potential long-term psychological impacts.

What Goes Down in Ferguson is an Asian American Concern – In Fact, It’s a 99% Issue

Precariat: A social class defined by the shared experience of precarity, a condition of existence without predictability or stability, particularly as pertains to employment and economic security

…

Make no mistake. Ferguson is an Asian American issue. The exclusion and abuse of Black people and immigrants in the United States goes hand in hand. Together, they represent a loophole in democracy through which the 1 percent are moving an agenda that is making us all precariats.
