I think about this a lot - having grown up, and having lived in, authoritarian spaces

Felipe De La Hoz @felipedlh.bsky.social · Apr 14

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Now that the utter incompetence of this cabinet is on display, we can see why they hated DEI and affirmative action so much. They're the ones who can't compete when there are accountability structures to give qualified BIPOC and women a chance.

What a great review! Heyday published Ellie's book -- in which Asian American readers are seen, validated, and given tools for self-examination and cultural analysis -- hoping for this exact readerly experience. SO grateful for Vicki's engagement and enthusiasm here!

If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.

When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.

This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

I guess it helps that Asian don’t raisin so our faces generally look the same. 😂 Interesting to see where people’s lives have led. 5/5

Also fun to run into Min in the corridor cuz when I first saw his picture I thought, “I know this face and name! But from where?“ We were able to confirm that we went to college together - pretty amazing to think that the person I knew then is now a playwright. 2/
