The wildfires on Maui and Hawai’i islands are devastating communities, with dozens deceased and untold history and property lost. We are heartbroken to see this tragedy unfold and continue to extend our utmost support for all those affected and on the front line.
A historic town that once was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii has been decimated by wildfires that have killed at least 6 people in the state. “Our home is on fire right now. There needs to be more action and more investment,” one expert said. nbcnews.com/news/asian-ameri…

Research from @AAPIData show ~70% of Asian Americans support #AffirmativeAction. rb.gy/1pqvi
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
“ 76 percent of Asian Americans overall said they did not think colleges should consider race or ethnicity as a factor in admissions decisions.” vox.com/politics/2023/…

We did it! TY to our friends and partners over at the @CollegeDemsWI and @AAPI_WisDems for inviting us to take action to elect Judge Janet Protasiewicz, and thank you to our #CollegeDems including @JasonParkCA and @durganyc who showed up and made calls in support of Judge Janet.
I've seen enough: Janet Protasiewicz defeats Daniel Kelly for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result flips ideological control of the court from conservative to liberal, a huge victory for the pro-choice side.

.@AmbassadorTai doesn't need Members of Congress to pity her—she speaks for the American people and their interests.

Saying she's "too nice a person" and has “too nice a smile” to do her job just feeds into the ugly stereotype of Asian women as docile and subservient.
.@RepGregMurphy: "I think you're too nice a person to be in the job you're in..." @USTradeRep Katherine Tai: "I've never been faulted for being too nice...OK, well let me just take off the nice a little bit. I don't need your pity. I stand up for the American people."

AAPI fear & pain is not a tool for the gun lobby to exploit. It's unacceptable — but I'll keep fighting for meaningful gun safety measures AND to stop anti-Asian hate. nitter.gq/aapialliance/status/16…
The gun industry is exploiting our pain to sell more guns to the #AsianAmerican community. Learn more from @VPCinfo's report: vpc.org/how-the-firearms-ind…
