#AAPIs
“Why don’t you stick to acting?” It’s a taunt I often have hurled at me.

I am a gay man in America whose marriage is under threat.

The last time Trump was in office, hate crimes against AAPIs skyrocketed.

I care deeply about this country and the future of our democracy.

I’ll stick to activism.

the AAPIs are here!!!!!
This is still a work-in-progress starter pack, but at least it’s now starting to feel ready to share.

Use this if you’re looking to (re)connect with some AAPI voices.

West Point eliminated clubs for AAPIs, Blacks, LGBTQIA, & women but kept the German, French, & Polish clubs.

Lol. I have no intention of voting for him in a primary when better, more electable options will be available. But as far as purity ponies, you’re talking to a guy who ran AAPIs with Warren then was a lead organizer of AAPIs for Biden and AAPIs for Harris.
Right so if he runs don’t vote for him. Keep voting for fascism because your purity pony is supposed to go Clippity clip clop clip but this one goes Clippity clop clip clop.
That strategy to vote against your own interests is never fucking late.

To AAPIs who think they can ride the racist MAGA wave and not drown in the undertow, a cautionary tale from a very weak mind.

Go to hell Tiger Woods. You are betraying black & AAPIs who are being discriminated against by the felon & his cronies.
Tiger Woods is with Trump at the White House

What *you’re* saying is that you don’t realize that I’m a bright-blue Dem who was a leader of AAPIs For Harris, cochair of AAPIs With Warren and a fundraiser for Obama.

This isn’t me “lecturing people.” I’m a loyal long-term Democrat pushing for my party to embrace a successful message.

I was one of the organizers for AAPIs for Harris, a campaign committee cochair for Joe Biden and before that, cofounder of AAPIs with Warren.

All I’ve done my whole life is organize for more and better Democrats.

And I’m going to assume “you people” is not being used in the racist sense.
You people won’t vote for the Dem potus to do that.

The administration may be trying to rid us of all diversity. But May is still Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Here are a few AAPI contributions to the Federal Gov. #AltAAPI #AltCitizen #AltGov

(Also while Biden didn’t come to my house, as one of the leaders of AAPIs for Biden, I was invited to his a couple times.)

Come on AAPIs! You're still sticking with the white dude who is making all your food/sauces EXPENSIVE??? He's coming for us next!

(Yes, we share the month with AAPI Heritage Month. This is funny when Jews and AAPIs and Jewish AAPIs are making "model minority" jokes, it's less funny when non-Jewish or AAPI orgs acknowledge one and not the other)

Probably beside the point, but why tf did net favorable of ICE increase by 10 points amount AAPIs in the last month?
January 16, 2026 at 5:04 AM
Anti-Asian racism, orientalism, exotification are the shared experience. Whatever else you think is different from other AAPIs, we all share that collective oppression.

The @stopaapihateaction.org tracker shows AAPIs were detained by ICE for an average of 92 days, 55 days longer than non-AAPIs.

As if this admin hasn’t been working tirelessly to erase AAPI history from our parks, monuments, and classrooms. As if this admin hasn’t declared war on birthright citizenship, one of several core rights fought for and won by AAPIs.

NINE HOURS LEFT to order this shirt and to support Asian Americans 4 Democracy’s efforts to fund Dem turnout among AAPIs in swing states!

Trump is trying to block our vote by making his Postmaster General refuse to deliver election mail from states that won’t turn over voter rolls.

Over 50% of AAPIs VOTE BY MAIL! Today’s the last day to public comment: CLICK THIS LINK TO PUSH BACK!

in California, Proposition 36 aims to increase incarceration for some petty crimes, with proponents hoping to hitch AAPI voters to a wave of anti-progressive backlash. I wrote about why it's not going to do much to make AAPIs safer. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/sole...
