1. Media covering the unrest in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota this week have reported being detained/arrested + manhandled + having faces & IDs photographed by MN law enforcement. Some journalists got a temporary restraining order which was granted.
2. Pdf for order granting the motion for TRO.

3. The temporary restraining order enjoins law enforcement from arresting, threatening to arrest, and using force against, using chemical weapons against, and seizing equipment from "any person whom they know or reasonably should know is a Journalist". (Screenshots pp. 19–21)
4. The ACLU filed this as a class action suit last June for treatment of media covering the unrest in Mpls after George Floyd's death. That motion was denied without prejudice, allowing them to file again.

5. Thread from a @StarTribune video journalist who was shot in the hand by police while working on Monday night. The Star Tribune is the largest daily newspaper in Minnesota. Circulation: 251,820 daily in 2019.

6. This should concern everyone. When governments suppress & intimidate the media it’s not a good sign.

1. It’s always a risk tweeting about racism & xenophobia in Japan. Never takes long for people to bring up WWII whether it’s the bombing of Hiroshima or Japanese Imperial Army war crimes. 🙄 My mentions are ridiculous right now.
2. While some prejudice in Japan is still rooted in WWII, not all ignorance there is rooted in things that happened nearly a century ago.
3. Non-Japanese tweeting about WWII frequently don't have any knowledge of post-WWII Japanese and the experiences of foreigners in Japan in 2021.

1. Good example of high conflict. When asked why she's staying when police have issued a dispersal order, she says "because black lives matter" but I'm guessing that black residents in nearby residences would tell Meghan to go home.
2.
3. This is what people who live in housing near the Brooklyn Center Police Department have been dealing with for the past 4 nights.

1. Something I've learned in 6 years of public fact checking is that many people's feelings don't care about your facts.

A lot of what we believe is based on interpretation which happens through a unique lens of someone's personal experiences, biases, and mental health.
2. All the facts and evidence in the world won't change someone's mind if they don't trust you, don't trust your sources, don't trust the people you're talking about, or engage in dichotomous thinking. dictionary.apa.org/dichotomous-th…
3. There's really not a lot you can do about this. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can't control what anyone else says, does, or believes.

1. This took about 30 seconds. 2 hits - same Medium blog.

google.com/search?q=%22pl…
2. The rest of my research took longer but can't draw any conclusions from it.

I wasn't able to find an archive of the now deleted tweet in screenshot to confirm the time zone so it's not possible to say for certain where it was first published.
3. Even if Brianna Wu was the first to publish the screenshot and the blog was second, Wu may have obtained the screenshot from someone else.

1. Any other Asian Americans feeling gaslit by the media and opinion writers saying we’re all terrified to leave our homes? 🤨

Curious what others are thinking about the psychological effects of news stories that keep repeating that we are. 🤔

My DMs are open.
2. I’ve experienced zero anti-Asian encounters since the start of the pandemic.

This is just my experience and I’m not trying to downplay the experiences—including death 😢—that others have had.
3. I have no idea if I’ve just been lucky, if it has to do with the types of stores and towns where I run most of my errands, or if it’s just not as much of a problem in the Greater Boston area as it is in other cities.

1. Lovely to wake up and see a tweet (via quote tweet from friend) from a woman I used to know socially claiming the mantle of victimhood (mild online sexual harassment) when I know she’s guilty of far worse sexually predatory behavior. 🤨
2. But it’s not like I have proof and confronting her would accomplish nothing.

But it really underscores how differently we read stories online when we have more context.

If I didn’t know her I’d likely be more sympathetic. 😕
3. Too tired to pick a fight and without evidence it’s just my word against hers about incidents I was not present for but which multiple people confirmed to me. So I just DMed my friend and gave her a heads up. She had no idea.
