Every country struggles with mental illness.

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

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. https://t.co/X408k5siPg

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Monterey Park.

Ming Wei Ma was a dance instructor & owner of the Star Dance Studio. He was described as a caring person with a selfless nature. He was the first to rush towards the shooter to try & save others. pic.twitter.com/N4m7av6R2c
