My parents came here after the war. I was born in New York. I’ve served a US president and represented US national security interests in hard-fought negotiations with adversaries. But I am still a victim of racial epithets and told “to go back to your country.” #StopAsianHate

If you’re learning about Asian American women and feminism, and our politics, perhaps for the first time right now, here are a few books off my shelf you could check out. A short thread.

To all who served our country and to all who continue to serve. To those who fight to protect or rights and our freedoms, from the bottom of my heart…thank you for your service. 🙏🏾❤️ #VeteransDay

Every Election Day I think of, and often hear from, North Korean refugees who escaped dictatorship and are voting here in the US for the first time in their lives, with joy and pride. That one vote contains a life story.

Count all the votes.

Extremely grateful to have this platform to speak out. My experience is not unique to me. Ask any Asian in America if they’ve ever been taunted, stereotyped, or marginalized simply bc of their looks. Grab a chair and sit down. The stories will abound #racism #stopethehate #cnn

I hate that I have to say this.
But I belong. We Asian Americans belong. I was born & raised in the U.S. I am as American as apple pie & I am as American as Korean barbecue. I am American. Please don’t question me about that fact. Ever. (15/15)

I’ve been seeing some comments on this platform & elsewhere sugg that the CIA as an institution is resp for US inability to make progress w/NK.

Let me share a few thoughts about what it’s like to be a CIA analyst in the 21st cent, esp on a high profile, hard target like NK. 1/

“I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight, that we as a people will get to the Promised Land!” #MLK

We will get there.

Don’t give up.

There’s a more just, humane, peaceful world to build.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

We can all stand up against racism, discrimination & intolerance.

I know these are difficult times but #NavajoNation is in need of PPE and other basic necessities. If you have resources please consider helping Navajo Nation COVID-19 Relief Fund gofundme.com/f/official-nav…

We at CSIS know it wouldn’t be possible for us to do our jobs without the sacrifice of the men and women who serve on the front lines: doctors, nurses, first responders, health care professionals, essential workers, grocery store staff and the many others who are keeping us safe.

Reminded of what @JakeTapper said on air after learning Kyung Lah was verbally attacked before a live shot:

'If you are stupid and racist enough to be holding random individuals of Asian descent responsible for a pandemic, you should be self-quarantining from society anyway.'

Grateful for the heroes who are stepping up for all of us.

Thank you to every:

-EMT
-Nurse
-Doctor
-Store clerk
-Police officer
-Mental health worker
-Firefighter
-Transit worker
-Childcare worker
-Mail carrier
-Takeout cook
-Deliverer
-Teacher

And many, many more.

We know there are a ton of essential workers on the front line of the #COVID19 crisis, from hospitals to grocery stores. But just how many? Using DHS designations, Adie Tomer and I estimate there could be up to 62 million brook.gs/2wV1sOL

I want to share some of the results of our new coronavirus survey, out today, because the impact on people's lives, across the country, is already staggering. Not just health; it's work, income, and how and where it's felt. (1/?)

This photo was taken by an ER nurse in Morristown, NJ and I just can’t.
