I wanted to start AANHPI Heritage Month by sharing the works of some fellow AAPI adoptee authors. Our literature, like our identities as adoptees, is complex, vibrant, and rich with possibility. Consider reading an AAPI adoptee author today. 💖🥚

Review | ‘The Endless Week’ is an unusually feral and lovely novel
In Laura Vazquez’s deeply strange book, a chronically online teenage poet goes on a quest to find his mother.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
