Rep. Chip Roy uses opening statement to make red herring argument that he fears critiquing China's Communist Party leadership will be off limits due to "thought police" monitoring anti-Asian sentiment in U.S. He refers several times to "Chi-Coms" in criticizing CCP. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Beyond the pandemic, Asian American leaders fear broader U.S. geopolitical conflict with China will fan racist backlash. “American foreign policy in Asia is American domestic policy for Asians.” https://t.co/MEobMsmKV9 — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: I'm told Merrick Garland spoke about the Atlanta shootings in a call with Asian American advocates today and said regardless of whether the crime was racially motivated he understood the larger context and concerns of the APA community about increasing attacks and violence. — PolitiTweet.org

@ishaantharoor This story suggests it is a fairly common phrase: 'There are plenty of words to describe discrimination at the hands of white people: white supremacy, microaggressions, the bamboo ceiling, Orientalism.' https://t.co/50DSzgA2PL — PolitiTweet.org

This ⁦⁦@paulschwartzman⁩ story of Americans who got covid in recent weeks just as mass vaccinations are within reach is so frustrating—and a reminder to try to remain as safe and vigilant as possible just a bit longer. https://t.co/42TW7nYKwk — PolitiTweet.org

And a video of the movement. The watchmaker said this was a rare model that was more formal and thinner than most of Hampden’s models. He said Hampden was bought not too long after by the Russians and moved there. https://t.co/nl0PN0AdqY — PolitiTweet.org

My father gave me this pocket watch and bank book from my grandfather. The watch is a Hampden Paul Revere from 1918 based on the serial number. I had to put a new crystal on it but it runs well for 103 years old. Precious heirloom. https://t.co/1K5wsfnrZG — PolitiTweet.org

Garland, 68, said it felt like he was coming home as he entered Main Justice today, noting he first worked there at 26 years old. He described working at DOJ as "more than a job, it's a calling." https://t.co/LvXf3ErzI0 — PolitiTweet.org

Adults, many once employed at the nuclear plant, were offered jobs at manufacturing facilities and delivering newspapers. 165 students were enrolled in area schools. The shuttered Kisai High School was reopend as a temporary shelter, stocked with tatami, futons and bentos. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The town was dying so fast it was combined with three others into a one jurisdiction. The high school had shuttered. But after the quake, Kazo City was reborn--taking in 1,337 refugees from Futaba, who had fled their homes near the overheating Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Ten years ago, after the 3/11 Tohoku earthquake, I traveled to Japan to help report on the disaster. Of many painful stories, one that gave me hope was traveling to Kazo City, a farming hamlet 2 hours from Tokyo that, like many cities, had suffered steep population declines. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
