🚨 On 11/20, Congress will vote on H.R. 9495. #HR9495 would give Trump and his admin of loyalists unprecedented power to silence & shut down nonprofits they personally dislike. 📩 Tell your reps to oppose this dangerous, anti-democratic bill now: https://t.co/XvwzIVls5D

Millions of AAPIs share our deep concern for the safety and well-being of our communities and our nation under the next Trump administration. We know all too well how he embraces racist, xenophobic rhetoric and enshrines hate into policies. 🧵 Read more: https://t.co/tj4AWCCd4I

We're outraged that, under Colleen Shogan, the U.S. Archives spent the last 12 months scrubbing U.S. history of watershed moments from Japanese Incarceration to the Civil Rights Movement — on grounds that it's too “negative & controversial.” This is censorship plain & simple. 🧵
U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan leads the National Archives, which oversees billions of government documents, photos, & records. But instead of educating the public about WWII incarceration & other dark chapters of American history, Shogan has spent the last year erasing history.

We must all condemn this kind of dangerous rhetoric that incites hate and violence against immigrants. There are serious consequences for this type of recklessness.
This is pure racism as Trump claimed sick migrants are coming to the US to infect the country, "very sick with highly contagious disease and they are let into our country to infect our country."
