"The question is, how do people and communities find a way to reconcile with horrific acts perpetrated against them, their family, their communities," says Do. All our speakers agree on one point: the importance of documentation.

Asst AG Kristen Clarke said the sole reason the victim was targeted was her sexual orientation.

AFGHANISTAN UPDATE 🧵:
I am currently working with 28 people on the ground trying to get to #HamidKarzai airport—1/3 are kids under 12. They are US citizens, legal permanent residents or immediate family members of USCs. The situation on the ground is NOT as it’s being reported:
I am currently working with 28 people on the ground trying to get to #HamidKarzai airport—1/3 are kids under 12. They are US citizens, legal permanent residents or immediate family members of USCs. The situation on the ground is NOT as it’s being reported:
The Taliban is reporting that they are not stopping foreign nationals from accessing the airport: WRONG.
There are crowds of thousands and, per one of my people: [translated] “There were taliban pushing people away and not letting anyone through, even with a US passport.”
There are crowds of thousands and, per one of my people: [translated] “There were taliban pushing people away and not letting anyone through, even with a US passport.”
The US Military & Embassy are reporting the airport is fully secure and they’re getting 500-600 people out per hour: MISLEADING.
US Forces have control of one side of the airport, but the civilian side is completely Taliban-controlled and they’re not letting people through.

Important perspective below
When I was a foreign grad & trainee I bought into idea: I just needed to work 3x as hard to get 1/2 as far
At mid-career, my health gave out trying for:
“be the person you needed when you were younger”
& to protect students
this system does not work

Yerevan April 28, 2020. The 28-year-old, known by her first name in Armenia, is the first transsexual to speak in parliament. "People like me are being tortured, raped, kidnapped, burned, and attacked in this country."
Her speech takes less than three minutes. Soberly and with numbers, she describes the discrimination and persecution of people with a deviant sexual identity in the Caucasian country. What follows is a wave of hatred and threats that collapses over Lilit.
The session leader in parliament, Naira Zohrabyan, accuses Lilit of "disregarding the agenda" and "disrespect". Shortly afterwards, the first hateful messages and death threats appear on Lilit's Facebook page. Someone publishes the address of their apartment on the Internet.
11 Ways Trump’s Condition Undermines Our Republic By Vince Greenwood, Ph.D. -- a thread:

1. Because of his greater than normal need for stimulation and impulsivity, disruptions to our government’s legal, financial, and administrative functions will accumulate.
2. In the exercise of his duties — at every choice point — power and dominance will prevail over others’ welfare. #DutyToInform
Today, August 12, is a day forever engrained in the memories of Susan Bro and Haifa Jabara. Their children, #KhalidJabara and #HeatherHeyer, were murdered in hate crimes on the same day, one year apart. Our thoughts are with both families on this difficult day.
As @SusanBro7 and Haifa Jabara wrote last year: "As any mother who has lost a child knows, there are no words to adequately convey the sense of loss & pain."

They are united by more than grief & shared anniversary. Khalid & Heather's murders were not reflected in hate crime data. Both were high profile #hatecrimes & prosecuted as such. Yet they weren’t included in the federal govt’s count of hate crime data.

#Biden's proposing a radical overhaul of the criminal justice system: 1>End #jail time for #drug offenses; 2>End fed'l mandatory minimums, give states incentives to repeal theirs; 3>End fed #DeathPenalty, give states incentives to do the same. /thread
#Biden 4>End cash bail; 5>End #jail sentences for people too poor to pay fines & fees; 6>Expand & use DOJ's power to address "systemic misconduct in police depts & prosecutors’ offices"; 7>Expand resources for public defenders’ offices ...
#Biden 8>Decriminalize the use of #cannabis & automatically expunge all prior cannabis use convictions; 9>Create $20 billion competitive grant program to spur states to shift from #incarceration to prevention; 10>Establish an independent Task Force on Prosecutorial Discretion...
1. There is a #manbaby @1600Pennsylvania who has fomented hate, racism & xenophobia consistently. Now #AsianAmericans are suffering unnecessarily. @AGWilliamBarr needs to address these 1000s of #hatecrimes. People have died by mistakenly #selfmedicating believing false rhetoric
2. espoused by #POTUS. You are not a medical professional. Don't #BS aboit your uncle's teachings @realdonaldtrump. In NYC this week #EMTs answered 6500 calls in one day...when 4k is normally a high#. Staff has become ill or quarantined forcing others to work harder longer.
3. This speaks to the failure of our #healthcaresystem that is out of supplies, equipment, facilities and tools while the #medicalindustrialcomplex reaps profirs and you #POTUS refuse to enact #DefenseProductionAct since #corporateCEOs caution against their livelihood if you do
I was honored to join @TerryMcAuliffe @NewJerseyOAG and @GeorgetownICAP's Mary McCord for an important panel on #HateCrimes and what cities and states are doing in terms of education and prevention of these horrible crimes.

@TerryMcAuliffe @NewJerseyOAG @GeorgetownICAP According to @DCPoliceDept, the number of reported #hatecrimes in DC jumped over 300% between 2015-2018—from 66 incidences to a record of 205.

At a time when the President of the United States gives cover to white supremacists and has openly bigoted individuals working in his administration, it’s more important than ever for state and local governments to take an active role against extremism and #hatecrimes.
Maybe there's a billionaire not running for President who could create some ads showing the devastation Trump is causing. Separate ads could feature:

- A family devastated by #StochasticTerrorism

NEW REPORT: Today, our office is releasing a report that elevates community concerns about housing #discrimination, racism, and violence against the #LGBTQ+ community—and how our office is responding to protect residents: bit.ly/2JXw3hP
At OAG's #civilrights listening sessions this summer, community members described to us a painful truth—many DC residents still face harmful #discrimination and even violence because of who they are, who they love, or where they are from.
These passionate and personal stories have pointed our #civilrights work to a path forward.
We recently introduced legislation to help combat #hatecrimes in DC and have filed several lawsuits to stop unlawful housing discrimination in the District.

Today, Deputy AG Toni Jackson testified on the alarming rise of #hatecrimes in the District and how OAG’s proposed legislation would allow us to hold offenders accountable and help survivors.
Our bill would allow us to bring civil actions against anyone who commits #hatecrimes to seek restitution for the victim and civil penalties from the perpetrator.
With this bill, we are sending a clear message that this type of bias-motivated violence is not tolerated in the District.
Thanks to @CMCharlesAllen for holding this important hearing on how we can make the District safer for all members of our community.

Last week, @SwarajyaMag accused us--without seeking our comment--of selective use of hate-crime #data, offering 35 cases from the English media not in our database, and 23 taken from the Hindi press. As promised, we checked all these cases. Here is our response
Of 35 cases-- 9 cases fit the description of a hate crime--as our methodology clearly lists. We have added these to our database.
One case Swarajya pointed out was already recorded in the database, and so has been dropped. 2 cases have been put on hold: 1 has been referred to our advisors for adjudication, the other, owing to conflicting news reports of the incident, has been referred to a fact finding team
