Can the first studio film with Asian Americans in lead roles in more than two decades end negative stereotypes of Asian men, asks ⁦@_allysonchiu⁩ washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…
I’m reminded of 18 years ago when @Newsweek proclaimed that Asian guys were on a roll newsweek.com/why-asian-guys…
Back then I wrote a sarcastic rejoinder for @PostOutlook — “The Asian Advantage” with a tipsheet for aspiring, wannabe Asians washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…

. @brhodes said there is "always" a backup plan for Potus bad weather travel. I just spoke with someone familiar with GWBush's travel. He agreed with Ben. Quick thread to shed a bit more light on typical WH protocols. 1/
WH has an big "advance" team that scouts out countries/cities weeks ahead to set up itinerary. "There’s always a backup plan to drive. He could have gotten there," my source said. Sometimes local officials fret about traffic but "no place would say no you absolutely can't go." 2/
The military would make the bad weather call to ground Marine One. The key is having enough time to scramble the backup plan -- usually at least an hour is needed, source said. WH would work with locals to put it in motion, predetermined street closures, police escorts, etc. 3/

My 101-year-old grandmother Toshiko died three weeks ago. We are cleaning out her home and I found these relics from their time in the Topaz, Utah, relocation camps in WWII—my grandfather’s WRA cards, my father’s school essay years later and the Topaz Times camp newspaper.
I’ve written a couple times about my family’s connection to the internment camps including when my father handed Obama a baseball card a few years ago washingtonpost.com/news/early-lea…
Here are some more artifacts from the internment camps. Notice to report to Topaz from Santa Anita processing facility; my dad’s Topaz card; family claim against fed gov for losses after dry cleaning biz seized.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

** announcement **

It's 10 am, and I'll be here all day, live-tweeting Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony then Brett's lies and every misogynistic moment in between.

#StopKavanaugh
In addition, there will be timely updates and thoughtful takes on our home page from colleagues @joanmccarter @kerryeleveld @Scout_Finch @wallein @HunterDK et al. dailykos.com
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is here, and she's wearing a cerulean power suit. She looks nervous, keeping her head down--when she finally turned, audible clicks take over the audio.

1/ Each week, we dig into the most important stories in hate.

This week: Violence against Sikh Americans, Trump officials’ ties to white nationalism and the numbers behind the South African white genocide propaganda. revealnews.org/blog/the-hate-…
2/ Over the span of three days in August, two Sikh American men were violently attacked in California’s Central Valley.

Surjit Singh Malhi told the @nytimes that two men assaulted him from behind as he was putting up political signs in his neighborhood. nytimes.com/2018/08/06/us/…
3/ “You don’t belong here,” they reportedly yelled during the attack. When he returned to his truck after the attack, he found “Go back to your country,” scrawled on the vehicle.

Q posts can be found here: qanon.pub

Android apps:

My theme: Trump Attack Foiled
2) Patriots have spread the word out about #Qanon who reminded us we need to prepare for new arrivals.
3) The MSM has pulled out all the stops in their attempt to kill the revolution. In response, I'm converting all my #QAnon videos from June forward to audio podcasts that will be available for free on iTunes.
