You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police.
You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma.
It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.

We have the right to feel safe. We have the right to demand media attention and government resources for crimes perpetrated against members of our community no matter who harmed us and why. We need to learn how to prevent future harm.

AAJA recommends that newsrooms cover this tragedy w/ empathy, while centering community stories & w/ the awareness of the tremendous stress & anxiety that the AAPI community has undergone over the past three years. Reference our coverage guidance here: tinyurl.com/aaja-monterey-pa… /3

Monterey Park is a suburb of LA. I can't help but think about the Chinese massacre of 150 years ago, when 18 were killed. A lot has changed, of course. But much hasn't. We're still viewed as alien by many; unassimilable. Bracing myself for the motive... newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

On a day for collective celebration, we awaken to collective grief. We wake up to news of yet another mass shooting in America - this time, in Monterey Park, a majority Asian American neighborhood where Lunar New Year celebrations were in full swing. At least 10 people are dead.

I’ve said this before… My fear is not so much being the victim of a hate crime. My fear is being the victim of a hate crime and everyone else just standing around and thinking I maybe, probably deserved it. npr.org/2023/01/14/114927374…

“Like Stefani, I am not Japanese. But I am an Asian woman in America. I am a woman who has been called racial slurs b/c of her appearance. I envy anyone who can claim to be part of this community but avoid the part that can be painful or scary.” allure.com/story/gwen-stefan…

Going to say it again. The XBB.1.5 variant (Kraken) that is absolutely rocketing in the USA and spreading globally, which has both major immune escape and high ACE2 binding, *evolved in New York*.
Not in China.
In. The. USA.

If you’re only scared of the COVID coming from China (which btw is racist but w/e), you should definitely wear a respirator because it’s not super easy to tell which COVID is Chinese COVID and which COVID is “from literally everywhere else” COVID
