Where are all the pro-life people at? I don’t see them defending this one year old Black baby.

So anti-fascism is the threat now?

Because if posting against fascism is enough to make someone a target, they’re going to need a lot more room.

Millions of us are watching.
Millions of us are speaking.
Millions of us are not backing down.

Where do they plan to put all of us? 📣

First time going to Convention.

Side note: Actually 57% of people are first timers!!!

And I’m not going because I feel like an expert.

I’m going because I want to understand how decisions are made before most people are paying attention.

For a long time, politics felt intimidating to me...

Like something for people who already knew the language, the process, and the rules.

But local government affects our real lives: our schools, neighborhoods, housing, safety, immigrant communities, small businesses, and whether people feel like they belong where they live.

So I’m going to learn.

To observe.

To ask questions.

And maybe that’s where more of us can start.

Not with knowing everything.

With paying attention.

Have you ever wanted to get more involved locally but didn’t know where to begin?

This is not just “immigration news.”

It’s people.

It’s families.

It’s communities living with the fear that their safety, dignity, and humanity can be taken away behind locked doors.

That’s why we couldn’t look away from Alligator Alcatraz.

That’s why we couldn’t look away from the Whipple Building here in Minnesota.

And that’s why we cannot look away from Delaney Hall in New Jersey, where hundreds of detained immigrants launched a hunger strike over conditions inside the facility.

Advocates, families, and lawmakers have raised concerns about spoiled food, lack of medical care, and people being treated without basic dignity.

Because these places are not just facilities.

They are symbols of what happens when people are detained, hidden, moved around, and discussed like paperwork instead of human beings.

As an immigrant, I don’t hear these stories as something abstract.

I hear them in my body.

I think about what it means to live in a country where belonging can still feel conditional, even after you’ve built a whole life here.

We cannot let bureaucratic language make cruelty sound normal.

Pay attention. Amplify people on the ground. Support mutual aid. Follow local organizers.

And don’t wait until it affects someone you know to care.

Because it already affects someone.

And that should be enough.

The legislative session is over, but the work is not.

And honestly, that feels heavy.

Because behind every bill that didn’t make it through, there are real people still waiting for safety, protection, and support.

The gun violence prevention bill didn’t get across the finish line.

The ICE accountability and anti-ICE protections our communities were pushing for didn’t become the full protection many of us were hoping for.

The small business funding for businesses hurt by Operation Metro Surge didn’t make the final deal either.

And I keep thinking about what that means for Minnesota.

For the parents who are tired of begging for gun safety.

For immigrant families still afraid to move through daily life.

For small business owners who lost revenue, staff, stability, and peace.

For communities that showed up, testified, organized, called, rallied, and refused to look away.

This is the part people don’t always see.

Advocacy doesn’t end when session ends.

The grief is still here.
The fear is still here.
The bills are still needed.
The people are still impacted.

So yes, the legislative session is over.

But the work is not.

We keep fighting, we keep going.

Minnesota, this is not the moment to look away.

Rep is talking about the 30+ hour sit-in happening at the Minnesota Capitol right now, where DFL legislators are refusing to let this moment pass quietly.

Because when lawmakers won’t even bring gun violence prevention to a vote, people have to show up.

You can do two things today:

Call Speaker Lisa Demuth and ask her to bring the bill to the floor: 651-296-4373

Or show up at the Capitol today at 11:30 AM before the floor opens at noon with

Showing up matters.
Calling matters.
Amplifying matters.

Our kids, families, teachers, and communities deserve more than silence.

Minnesota, keep going 📣

Today I was at the Minnesota State Capitol with asking the House of Representatives to bring the gun violence prevention bill forward for a vote.

I also had the chance to speak with my own representative, Rep. Ethan Cha of Woodbury, and Rep. Lee Finke.

Gun violence prevention should not be delayed.
Families deserve safety.
Kids deserve safety.

Communities deserve lawmakers who are willing to vote.

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD 📣
Like, comment, repost, and add this to your story. Every single interaction counts and helps more people see what’s happening here in Minnesota.

AANHPI Heritage Month can feel complicated.

Because I love celebrating our cultures, our food, our stories, our families, our joy.

But I also notice how quickly our identities get turned into aesthetics.

Lanterns. Dumplings. Cherry blossoms. Pretty graphics. Polished campaigns.

And then silence when Asian workers need protection.
Silence when immigrant families are targeted.
Silence when marginalized communities are harmed.

That’s the part I can’t ignore.

Because being an immigrant in America already means carrying the exhaustion of constantly proving you belong somewhere.

And being visible as an immigrant woman adds another layer.

You want to use your voice.
You also know visibility can make you a target.

So sometimes, even one post feels like a tiny act of courage.

This month, I’m not interested in performative celebration.

I’m interested in who shows up when it actually matters.

How is AANHPI Heritage Month feeling for you this year?
