A Black man shot and killed a pregnant Asian woman and her unborn child in Seattle. The victim was just sitting in her Tesla with her husband who was also shot but survived. This is a tragedy that the Asian community knows far too well- Black on Asian violence and racism
ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY: #Seattle Police confirming a 34 year old pregnant woman and her unborn child died after being shot in #Belltown late Tuesday morning. A man was also struck by gunfire and is recovering in the hospital. Investigators spent hours collecting evidence around a bullet riddled white Tesla. The shooting suspect was arrested nearby with the help of witnesses. This all went down on 4th Ave and Lenora St, a busy intersection near Cinerama(@SeattleCinerama,) CVS(@cvspharmacy,) and Amazon HQ(@amazon.) Ironically at the same time, Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) and other officials were talking about the importance of public safety at the grand re-opening of City Hall Park just a few minutes away. Now we know why first responders were whizzing by with sirens blaring. @CMAndrewJLewis @SeattleCouncil @GovInslee @kcexec @downtownseattle @VisitSeattle @SeattleChamber @KCCouncil @SeattlePD @SeattleFire

Whether they go unreported or caught on video, crimes against Asians are on the rise. An East Bay police department says they’ve done the math & their data found violent crimes against Asians jumped by 283% in their city....from 2019 to 2020. Our story ⬇️ nbcbayarea.com/news/local/ea…

As a #HongKong journalist who investigated police wrongdoing appears in court over a high-profile documentary today, I looked at how the govt's selective enforcement of database laws has wider implications for the community. My latest for @restofworld restofworld.org/2021/hong-ko…

Andy Li's arrest today on trumped up foreign collusion charges shows why the 12 youths fled in the first place. Time and again, the National Security Law is being used to further grave injustices. The world must respond. #save12hkyouths
Johnny Patterson, policy director for rights group Hong Kong Watch, said the “appalling ordeal” the group faced “shines a spotlight on the draconian new normal in Hong Kong.” “It’s a case of out of the frying pan, into the fire.” reuters.com/article/us-hongk…

🔊🇬🇧 #Hongkongers in the UK, have you completed your #Census2021 yet? It’s not too late to take part. Write in “Hongkonger” ✏️ under National Identity and Ethnic Group. The info will help @GOVUK to plan and fund services across the country & recognise Hongkonger as a group.
Hongkongers! Participate in the Census, Make your identity KNOWN! #writeinhongkonger #Census2021 #makeyouridentityknown

“Black families always have the racial talk,” Tiffany Yip, a psychologist, said. But many Asian-American families did not. Now with a surge in harassment and hate crimes, she said: “I’m not sure Asian-American families can avoid ‘the talk’ any longer.” nyti.ms/3f9W4Lx

This account of what happens to Chinese people who connect to the BBC recalls what happened when the Nazis or the KGB discovered people listening to secret radios tuned to the BBC. So much for Article 19 and CCP’s membership of the UN Human Rights Council davidalton.net/2021/03/05/th…
