Multicultural Community Center student interns interviewed for this story asked to be quoted anonymously, citing fear of retaliation from university administrators; full-time center staff contacted by Berkeleyside either declined to comment or did not respond to messages." (2)

Some mid-week happy news, Dare to Win, the recent micro doc I produced will have its world premiere at this year's CAAMFest (May 7-10, 2026) and will also be screening at the Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival (May 29th-June 7th)! 🎉

To the bottom left of the photo is the title "Dare to Win" in white text and below are the film festival laurels for CAAMFest 2026 and HAAPIFEST 2026.

Co-hosted my first big zoom event earlier tonight around labor organizing in documentary and felt like a kid again hoping someone would show up to the party. Out of 300+ registrants we had 120+ show up! 🥹 Happy to say that it was a successful event and I hope it was valuable to all who attended.

Pope Leo is spitting. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear

Yesterday was a much needed reset day, so I went to finally watch Sinners at the Grand Lake Theater for the 70mm IMAX + bc it was one of Ryan Coogler's hometown spots, only to find out they don't play that format on Wednesdays 😭. Still a great time had. So good! Need to rewatch ♥️

Exterior shot of the Grand Lake Theater marquee with Lilo & Stitch, MI8, Sinners, and Freaky Tales in red lettering

Sinners poster against the Grand Lake Theater lobby mural of florals with a decorative golden arch frame and dark columns on either side with gold patterns.

Mean Girls movie Bethany Byrd "I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip-flops, so I bought army pants and flip-flops" meme, but alternate text reads "Ryan Coogler said he grew up watching movies at the Grand Lake Theater, so I watched Sinners at the Grand Lake Theater"
