April 11, 202377. This Week in Asian American Politics: Recent "Illegal Immigrants" from Mexico Are Chinese, N.C. Dem Turns Repub, Modi + Twitter Censors Critics in India, Angelo Quinto, 3 Nashville Dems Expelled
This Week in Asian American Politics!
There's been a huge increase (2x) in the number of undocumented immigrants at the Mexican border, but a lot of these immigrants are... Chinese? Send this to your politically conservative Asian network and watch them break down.

A North Carolina Democrat switches to the GOP and gives the GOP supermajority control of state legislature. When are Dems also gonna play dirty??

Elon Musk promised to reduce censorship when running Twitter but so far has just helped Indian's Prime Minister Modi censor anyone who criticizes him

Asians and the continued struggle against police brutality, as we remember Angelo Quinto on the 2 year anniversary of his killing by police

3 Tennessee Democrats (the only 3) are ousted from their spots after joining students in protest for stronger gun control laws. "Why would China do this?" Oh wait, this is America.

We're back with guests after lots of requests, and we're aiming for 2 a month. This week, we talk with LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia and his Chief of Staff Jane Nguyen!

Jane is the co-founder of Ktown for All, a neighborhood-based volunteer homeless advocacy group in LA. The two sat down with us to chat about their path to where they are today, the campaign, and the plan for the next couple years at City Hall.

New Tuesday, new episode! This week in Asian American politics:
Investors start gossiping about Silicon Valley Bank collapse. This is the level of gossip that would make Asian aunties proud

Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan win big at the Oscars, but unfortunately still believe in the American Dream

Biden once again proves he is only marginally better than Trump because he approved Trump’s oil drilling project, but only 90% of it. We did it, Joe!

Native Hawaiians get 6 years in prison for beating up a white guy who bragged about redeveloping their lands in a case of “reverse racism”

East Asians and Southeast Asians have a much higher risk of going blind because their parents don’t let them go outside

March 15, 202373. This Week in Asian American Politics: NYC South Asians Get Divided, Chinatown Megajail Displacement, South Korea's 4B Feminism, No Scholarships for Undocumented CA Students, NYC Mayor Says No Mask
New episode out now! This week in Asian American politics
South Asians in Queens, NY have been gerrymandered by the new NYC City Council district lines, losing a lot of political power, and they are suing the Commissioner. One of the few times where you can unironically say representation matters.

An interview with one of the restaurant owners who was pushed out by initial fencing from the Chinatown megajail in NYC, which is not a done deal yet but already has terrible impacts on Chinatown

Don't let Kpop and Physical 100 fool you into thinking South Korea is all peachy. We talk about South Korea's patriarchy and the growing 4B feminism - no straight marriage, no dating, no child-rearing, no sex.

California universities do a really bad job of telling undocumented students that they can get scholarships. This is what happens when your state governor focuses too much on deportation.

Mayor Eric Adams in NYC wants people to remove their masks temporarily before entering a store, because COVID will pause for 5 seconds while you do so.

New Tuesday, new episode! This week in Asian American politics:
Republicans whistle a different tune this week saying Chinese non-citizens can still buy land in Texas, but there's still lots of room for false accusations and bans for people "associated with" the government

Julie Su is nominated for Department of Labor Secretary and we talk about her red flags and green flags

Racist Dilbert creator (white guy) complains about how black people are a hate group and Elon Musk brings Asians into the talk since he and the creator are besties lmao

Justin Lin is going to direct a movie about the Chinese American missionary who went to this isolated island near India to convert the natives and got unalived. Why

Fox News complains about people shutting down Victims of Communism day, but isn't every day in America already talking about that?

March 01, 202371. This Week in Asian American Politics: East Palestine Ohio Train Wreck, 12 Asian Americans Give Bland Takes on Asian America, Rampant Child Labor in America, Fox News Admits Election Wasn't Stolen
New episode out now! This week in Asian American politics:
We made enough "Ohio" jokes on Tiktok and now a train derailed. Why should Americans who have never been to Ohio/will never go to Ohio care? How will it impact YOU? Because spoiler, it does!

The NYTimes asks 12 Asian Americans a couple of questions. We thought the questions were basic af and didn't allow for nuance in conversation—what did y'all think of this interview?

Child labor? In MY American country? It's more likely than you think!

The company that handles the country's election devices sues Fox News for defamation. Fox News says the first amendment lets them say anything even if it's false, as long as its newsworthy.
