There is no place in the world for hate crimes and violence. We mourn for those lost in yesterday’s horrific shootings targeted at the Asian American Pacific Islander community, and for the exponential rise in anti-Asian violence across the country. [thread 1/4]

A friend’s 16yo daughter just got run off the road here in Atlanta by a truck. She swerved to the side of the road. They pulled up beside her, blocking her. She ripped off her mask and their expression shifted. One said “oh, she’s not Asian” before driving off.

🚨𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 & 𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 🚨 @sfpd have arrested Steven Jenkins. They say he assaulted 75-year old Chinese woman & 83-year old Vietnamese man yesterday. ⠀ The man’s son sent me these pics. His fathers neck is broken in several places.

The fact that it needs to be said at all! That the work of immensely qualified Asian journalists are discounted by their newsrooms. I see this, hear this from my journo friends ALL THE TIME. aaja.org/2021/03/18/aaj…

White journalists/editors: do not use language like the victim's family "CLAIMS"-"Daniel Dae Kim CLAIMS that his sister was attacked"- do your WORK and RESEARCH until you have full confidence in your own story. Do not take away the credibility of the Asians you are interviewing.

Sick of stories humanizing the racist murderer. Grieving the murdered -- this is Xiaojie Tan. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

So fucked up that parents at my kids' predominantly Asian school are currently having conversations about increasing security because we are afraid of gunmen who might come in to massacre our children. Either because they are Asian or because they are children.

Truly defies belief. washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03…
