My toddler is playing a xylophone.
And it’s not even 9 a.m.
And I have not had coffee yet.
And my head is throbbing along to the beat.
And I don’t know who designed this toy but...
How’s your morning going 😁?

A Colorado judge blocked Boulder from enforcing its 2-year-old assault rifle ban on March 12 after the NRA sued. A week later, a gunman with an “AR-15 style rifle” opened fire in a Boulder supermarket, killing 10 people, including a Boulder Police officer. news.yahoo.com/nra-bragged-b…

Officer Eric Talley is my big brother. He died today in the Boulder shooting. My heart is broken. I cannot explain how beautiful he was and what a devastating loss this is to so many. Fly high my sweet brother. You always wanted to be a pilot (damn color blindness). Soar.

Today it's a tragedy in Boulder, Colorado. This past weekend it was a house party in Philadelphia. And last week it was an armed attack on Asian American women in the Atlanta area. It doesn't have to be this way. It’s beyond time for our leaders to take action.

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.

Words matter. Terms like "China virus" opened the door to a wave of anti-AAPI violence. 6 Asian women and 8 lives in total lost last night in Atlanta because of this -- 3800 cases over the last year. If you don't see a problem you're in denial or you're part of the problem.

It’s a hate crime. Not ‘a bad day’. #StopAsianHate
