As someone who covers hate crimes against Asians I've developed a high tolerance for what I can handle but this one broke me. After everything that happened to this woman, they *shut* the door on her. Attacks on the most vulnerable in the AAPI community continues unabated.

This goes against LAPD's own internal memo issued last year intended “to remind supervisors and line personnel that the Department WILL recognize individuals who self-identify as media representatives and will NOT require specific media credentials.” (emphases not mine)

LAPD just told a group of about a dozen reporters documenting arrests if they dont have a press pass visible they might as well join the rest of people being arrested (rather than stand on the sidewalk.) @LATACO

More than 100 & counting gathering in Gardena to march for Andres Guardado, the 18 yo shot by an LA Cty sheriff’s deputy Thursday evening. It is the second fatal shooting by a @LASDHQ deputy in a week.

#CreekFire is hitting LA's horse country hard. People I see braving the ash and smoke are moving animals to safety. Was told "it's difficult to be by the hills but it's also a blessing" because of beauty, trails

Getting a star on the Walk of Fame isn't everything -- it's not free, for one -- but very telling that less than 20 of the 2,723 stars are for AAPI's or >1%....something pointed out by the actor Daniel Dae Kim. Today, James Hong joins the club.

Hundreds in Little Tokyo tonight to say no to WH plan to use Fort Sill in Oklahoma as detention center for immigrant children. Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants were incarcerated there. Before them, Geronimo. “Never again is now.”

This LAPD memo is an acknowledgment, I hope, that the media landscape is evolving and includes not only the camera-ready TV reporter with a recognizable mic flag but also that person holding nothing but an iPhone which dare I say has great audio recording capacity

NEW: Earlier today, LAPD circulated a memo to all personnel. The memo says: reporters DO NOT need credentials to cover protests, they only need to self-ID. Also, if an unlawful assembly is declared, a designated area is supposed to be created for media. @LATACO

Last year, I wrote about Esther Lim who was so worried about older Asians in LA getting attacked during the pandemic, she created booklets for them in Chinese, Japanese & Korean. After recent violence in the Bay area, she's added Thai & Vietnamese.

Are you curious whether NBA fans will stand up for Hong Kong at tonight’s season opener between the Lakers & the Clips? Me too! That’s why I’ll be outside @STAPLESCenter .

NBA Fans Are Standing With Hong Kong At The Lakers-Clippers Season Opener

An NBA fan is handing out 13,000 pro-Hong Kong democracy T-shirts to spectators to put on for tonight's match between the Clippers and Lakers.

The largest Armenian American community marches through Hollywood after Pres Biden declares killing of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire a century ago a genocide. It’s a usually somber event but marchers say this year is mixed with some happiness.

I was instructed to enter thru the side of the hotel (in the Zhongzheng district of Taipei) to avoid mingling with the regular guests in the lobby. A hotel staffer gave me shoe covers and directed me to another door. This was either really undercover rock star or side piece-y

SB 629 would've been a great signal for Newsom to send to Californians that he stands up for the #FirstAmendment . Aside from protecting journalists from bodily harm, the bill would've made clear they can keep reporting after a dispersal order is called without harassment.

Soon after you land at TPE, you're asked if you have a phone that works in Taiwan. If not, you have to buy a SIM card so authorities can location-track you & make sure you’re sticking to quarantine. For $35, you get 30 days unlimited 4G data. Sales rep promises "no throttling"
