Your daily reminder that AAPIs are not speaking out "for the first time." I've seen a lot of people say that, but it's a narrative America perpetuates to erase us and reinforce the model minority. A walk through the history, a thread 🐾.

New from me: Newsom’s allies in health care are drawing a line in the sand after his proposal to restrict undocumented immigrants’ Medi-Cal access. “Everything at this point, unfortunately, is about the political calculation of a presidential campaign.”.

The ad will air in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on digital and social channels, as well as on nearly 70 Asian-serving broadcast outlets, including The Filipino Channel, KHMER TV and TV Asia.

Exclusive: @KamalaHarris is courting Asian American voters with a new ad about her mother and their family story. The messaging is part of an ongoing effort to walk a tightrope between acknowledging her identity while not letting it dominate the campaign.

MSG is found in all kinds of cuisines, yet its link to “Chinese restaurant syndrome” persists. A new campaign demands accountability from @NEJM for its role perpetrating the stigma and contributing to the narrative of Chinese food being “dirty.”.

@TheYappie The new messaging is a direct response to the multimillion-dollar “Project 2025” —spearheaded by the conservative Heritage Foundation—and its vision for the next GOP presidency.

A campaign fact sheet first shared with @TheYappie hammers in on Trump’s budget cuts for Social Security, Medicare and housing/food assistance programs—along with his vow to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which contributed to a 54% drop in AAPIs’ uninsured rate over 6 years.

Exclusive for @TheYappie: Ahead of SOTU, the Biden campaign pushes new messaging to emphasize the economic and health care costs to AAPIs under a 2nd Trump term. AAPIs, who helped Biden win key battleground states in 2020, make up +6% of eligible voters.
