Finally finished this blog post, which I probably shouldn't have spent so much time writing and editing this morning but it's too late to turn back time now. And now I head into the video editing mines; hope to see you around later.

Hello fellow #allies and #accomplices! When I changed my career path and entered grad school, I decided to be deliberate about when I read the news, why, and from whom. I'm currently grateful for the newsletter writers at IndigiNews.com and NativeNewsOnline.net for keeping me appraised on what's going on in the Indigenous communities in Canada and the United States. I also current read TheYappie.com for news and political information about #AsiansInAmerica.

Check them all out, why don't you?

Here's what I think is an important paragraph of the article:

"That the gunman has been identified as an Asian person doesn’t exclude the possibility of hate, misogyny, or ethnic discrimination as a motive. Asian American leaders have also expressed concern that the shooting itself could encourage or fuel other acts of violence against the community in the following weeks."

I don't recall if it was here or elsewhere that I heard about The Yappie (an independent source of news for #AAPI folks), but their coverage of the Monterey Park shooting is pretty comprehensive. 1/

Heck yeah! Even though I am not a Minnesotan anymore, I do keep up with what's going on with the people I met and with whom I became friends. This awesome article came to me via LinkedIn from my former supervisor in her new role as the Chief Programs Officer of the Hmong American Partnership:
