Family killed in the Texas mall shooting identified as Cindy Cho, Kyu Cho and their 3-year-old son, James Cho. Their other child, William, just turned 6 and is the only survivor. They were going to the mall to exchange clothes he received for his birthday
When I was in high school, my friend Shannon who had diabetes was low on sugar. She started to say very strange things at first. Before we could get her help, she started to scream and rammed herself against a bunch of tables and chairs. Then she proceeded to pass out.
My wish is for everyone to see and humanize these women. They were working so hard to survive and provide for their families and loved ones. They were someone’s mother or aunt or daughter or niece....and loved.
It breaks me that we have to ask for others to see us as human.
I kept her from injuring herself. And I got her sugar (icing from the cafeteria) and an ambulance. She woke up before the ambulance. Now I can’t imagine…what if someone instead of seeing it as a medical emergency, felt threatened and put her in a chokehold and killed her?
This man wasn’t a “domestic abuser” ….he wasn’t her partner or someone she was in a family with. He was her stalker. He terrorized her…for more than 20 years.
11-year-old Jayden Perkins, a beloved dancer who was talented beyond his years, was killed trying to protect his pregnant mother from a serial domestic abuser
Canners? What law are they breaking? Did you want that can you probably didn’t even put in the right bin? Oh please, “Native New Yorker” having never seen canners? You don’t live here.
Asians make up around 7% of the U.S. population but have become vividly overrepresented in ice rinks and competitions at every level, from coast to coast.
Gradually, they have transformed a sport that, until the 1990s, was almost uniformly white.
I kid you not....my text messages, my DMs, and my inbox are flooded with cuomo stories. So many people have been bullied, mistreated, or intimidated by him.
From investing in infrastructure and public housing to ending predatory lending fines and fees,
@YuhLine
leads the fight for change in Albany. At a time when important decisions for working families are being made at the state level, I’m proud to support her run for re-election.
Why keep killing us?
For hours I couldn’t breathe and I wanted to claw my own heart out of my chest. I can’t think of anything to make this hurt less for all of us.
Fam, we aren’t nothing. We deserve to live. We deserve to exist. We don’t need to justify our every breath.
There hasn’t been a lot of coverage on the bombs....the fact that there were bombs! And armed men with zip ties and other supplies meant for....what? holding hostages? Anyone saying this was a protest or even a riot....is not acknowledging this as an act of domestic terrorism...
Hi friends and fam. Don’t even look at Marjorie Taylor Greene. Don’t even think about her. Don’t let her take up any space. Don’t google her. Don’t read what she writes. Don’t watch any of the stuff she is in. She thrives off of hate and the attention it gets her.
You are loved.
Whatever else happens in this debate and in any of the others...I just want it known that as a woman, as a survivor, as a person who was hurt and silenced...I felt repped today.
@ewarren
thx for making it not so easy for those dudes to just get away with it. I 👏🏽 so hard.
Mayor Adams says the city is deploying an additional 1,000 NYPD officers to patrol the subway.
The state is planning to deploy personnel to assist police with bag checks, according to a spokesperson for Gov. Hochul.

I am an American citizen and an elected official in the state of New York…representing the actual district that Alexander Hamilton is buried in and the Statue of Liberty sits in…but go off, racists, go off.
NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says there’s “a double standard” when it comes to Aaron Rodgers and Colin Kaepernick:
“His lack of responsibility ... shows a lack of moral character that can’t be ignored.”
NYC's public libraries will face Saturday closures, restricted weekday hours, cuts to educational programs and a freeze on new branch openings under cuts proposed by Mayor Adams.
Uh....the only asian american who was co host of the view was
@lisaling
, arguably the most qualified person of anything ever for almost every news/tv/reporting job ever on the face of the planet. Seeing your resumes side by side would be...an interesting exercise.
Meghan McCain: "We’ve only had one Asian American host co-host host this show. Does that mean one of us should be leaving because there’s not enough representation? We're talking about -- is identity politics more important than the qualifications for the job?"
Everyone in my generation can attest that AOL Instant Messaging (aka AIM) was the best and most revolutionary and most game changing thing we ever experienced. And we loved it. So so much.
I am just now hearing about Nancy Pelosi’s xenophobic anti-Asian comments and telling people to “Go back to China, where you come from.” First, shook. Second, she is the Rep from California….San Francisco, California. Aka the part of the state with the largest aapi population….
Spell and pronounce Asian American names right. Thanks. They are made up of the same 26 letters as any other American name and we have already butchered them into sounds you can pronounce. You’re welcome.
Dan…there is video. The Israeli government, their national security advisor, applauded the attack on Twitter. The IDF admitted to opening fire on civilians. Over a hundred people were killed. Over seven hundred wounded…Please, stop…
After Hamas’s misinformation about the Al Ahli Hospital attack in October, why would anyone — especially the media — believe Hamas about the convoy tragedy yesterday?
Hamas is a terrorist organization that thrives on false propaganda. Let’s wait to get more information.
So FYI to all folks mailing ballots. One forever stamp is not enough! My constituent just went to mail hers and it was over the 1oz weight limit and needed extra postage. Without extra postage it won’t be delivered. 😑
#VoterSuppression
Every vote has been counted, and it's official: we won with over 64% of the vote!
Every neighborhood in our Assembly District, every big building, and nearly every Election District voted for our vision for a more equal New York, a more just New York, and a better New York. 1/
FYI to NY Twitter Employees.
This also applies to you from our state law. Our NY WARN also requires 90 days prior notice for a mass layoff.
This is the link to penalties and liabilities:
#TwitterLayoffs
#Twitter
Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me):
CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff.
A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies.
I know you didn't get that notice.
NEW: New York State Assembly has voted to repeal 50-a, the law that shields police disciplinary records from public view. Senate voted for the bill earlier, It now goes to
@NYGovCuomo
for signature
50-a has been on the books for 40 years. Protests in NY changed the conversation
Unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. Railroad execs fought for the deregulation. Huge environmental impact and the execs think they can give the town $25k as an “apology”.
On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aides requested changes to a Covid-19 report that resulted in the death toll in nursing homes being significantly undercounted, people familiar with the report’s production said
To the heartless racist people messaging me saying with joy that the shooter is Asian instead of being heartbroken and devastated for the families and friends who lost their loved ones…respectfully, never talk to me again…In fact, just shut up forever and don’t talk period.
The NYPD has spent $740 million dollars in overtime this year.
We have the largest police budget in the nation. The total cost of the NYPD is actually over $11 billion dollars annually.
This is what they are doing with our money.
Because I am openly
#ActuallyAutistic
I’m being made fun of and called names as I make this run for Congress.
But I just heard a story that made all of those things go away.
Someone who just received their diagnosis told me that my representation matters to them.
#CripTheVote
I’m sorry…but what the actual hell is this? This is not funny. Not to folks with chronic illness and not to us in the city riding trains. People’s health and safety is not funny. Is this an episode of Black Mirror?
@MTA
should be ashamed. Why would you promote this?
@yuhline
Do you know if I can order for delivery? My 90yr old Chinese grandmother lives by herself at St.Margaret's House by the Seaport and while she has been getting some box lunches from the city & is grateful, really is missing Chinese food & keeps wanting to walk to Chinatown :/
Hey
@RobinhoodApp
I have a few shares of some stocks where I’m losing some money on your app...think you can just freeze those and make it so I don’t lose anymore money? What’s fair for the hedge funds should be fair for me too right?
Our first slate of New York primary endorsements is out today! 🗳
New York: The primary election is on June 23rd.
Early voting starts THIS Saturday, June 13th!
Check to find your early polling location.
Just in—Trump’s EPA strips tribal land sovereignty of all 38 Oklahoma Native American tribes for environmental matters and grants it to Oklahoma’s governor. Heinous.
In this cold…if you are ordering food…you better be tipping a heck of a lot. Our delivery workers are out there in the freezing cold, working to make sure you can stay in the comfort of your own home!
Another 65 yo Asian American man was assaulted in my district. Already noted as a hate crime.
He is ok. A very bruised eye.
Folks...as people are doing vigils or other events today...remember, please stay safe. Keep each other safe. Check in with one another.
This is...not it.
This is racist and xenophobic and buys into the disgusting narrative that trump is spinning. I ask
@JoeBiden
why.
A race to be the most racist against Asians is not ok and not what we need right now.
Donald Trump left our country unprepared and unprotected for the worst public health and economic crisis in our lifetime — and now we're paying the price.
Biggest hug to
@AOC
. Her spotlight on the taxi drivers fight and her help with the congressional delegation was a huge part of this win. Thank you, friend. Grateful.
Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler who cried at the thought of gay marriage…has a wonderful and brilliant gay nephew who had this message for his aunt on TikTok.
Sharing this update. Christina Yuna Lee’s family is suing the NYPD. The officers arriving at her apartment after a neighbor called 911 didn’t get inside her apartment for over an hour. I will never ever ever forget her or what happened to her.
All of the new graduates of CUNY Law School at their graduation where
@ericadamsfornyc
was speaking all stood up and turned their backs on him. He was boo’d.
We’re going to keep working until every vote is counted. But no matter the final result, I'm so proud and grateful to all of you who supported with your time, money, and energy! We showed that a dedicated crew of volunteers can stand up to big money. More to come soon! ❤️
Thank you to everyone sharing their stories. I appreciate also the folks here saying they are learning so much from each other. I’m learning a lot too. ♥️
So my friends at 46 Mott are making these beautiful and delicious box lunches for our seniors and anybody else who needs them. We can also deliver. Please let us know your need. Also...Did I say they are delicious😋😚?

Hi. I’m an American. We are a country that should pride itself on our greatest strength, which is our diversity. There is power in a name. And I am proud of the name my parents and my grandparents gave me, with all their love. 1/
The attacks on me have been and are getting more and more dangerous to my life. I am a human being too. I hope when people write things they think about what can happen as a consequence. Thanks.

Zack Dahnan, the 21-year old security camera installer who first spotted the suspected subway shooter in the East Village, is holding an impromptu press conference on 1st Avenue. He says news of the presser left him unable to sleep.
Our NY10 Congressman just voted to censure his own colleague…with Republicans at the behest of MTG…who is one of the most anti semitic reps to ever be elected…wild world we live in.
I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.
