To my new followers: I am a disabled Asian American policy nerd and PhD student who also posts a ton of pictures of my dog Timber. You've been warned.

There is strong historical connection between disabled people in Palestine and disabled people in the U.S. Both governments are utilizing the same policy framework of eugenics. That is why you can't free one group without gaining freedom for all. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Kinda hard to for @Patriots owner Robert Kraft to make the claim this was about fighting antisemitism and not protecting Israel when Kanye still gets to play stadiums after ‘HH’ but @macklemore doesn’t 🤔 Here’s a list👇🏽 (cc: @edsheeran)

Happy Labor Day. Disability is the reason we have unions and Labor Day. Disabled people were and are essential to the movement. Yet still, disabled people struggle to find, maintain, and grow careers. What is your union doing to address these issues?

We a run by the most narcissistic, ignorant, hateful, and unskilled administration in our history. And that is saying something given our history. They display all seven deadly sins, yet purport to abide by Christian tenants. (See, u can criticize this administration without being ableist)

Medicare for all should be the least we should get. Medicaid for all is much more helpful, particularly for disabled people, children, and young adults.

In my opinion, dogs are what makes life worth living. This is my friend's dog Wednesday. My friend passed away last weekend. We're both trying to find equilibrium. I feel like this picture captures how I've been feeling for the past few weeks.

You shouldn't lose rights just cause you're a college athlete. Saying this as a person who was a varsity wheelchair track athlete.

Rich people get to make "mistakes." Meanwhile, a disabled person makes one mistake that results in them losing their most basic legal rights.

FYI: policies like this are ableist and are often poorly designed, scoring people with neurodivergence, Black communities, and cultural minorities lower. This shouldn't be a stance of anyone in congress, but particularly the democrats.

No one wants a more hesitant Democratic Party. Trump didn't get elected through overly manufactured talking points and middle ground stances. We need a party that stands FOR something other than tearing apart vulnerable communities.

Last night, Vizzini went into retirement mode. He is now headed to Maine with my parents and their pup. I know he will enjoy retirement. But I will miss him dearly. So thankful for my parents who agreed to take him so I can see him more often.

Yes. It's normal. Most news agencies write up memorials for famous folks before they pass. They do it in hopes of being one of the first to publish something.

Honored to be speaking at "America Belongs to All of Us." As the Supreme Court and the administration continue to try to erase Black and brown migrants, those who have built this country with their blood, sweat, and tears, it's more important than ever to recognize what we've lost and our potential.

Progressives are winning because they have a clear message to voters on what they are voting FOR rather than what they need to vote against. The most dangerous emotion in politics is hope, not fear. First NYC, then DC, MD, and back to NYC.
