January's MAGA-vs-Musk H1B debate ended w/Desi workers treated as punching bags

One reason I'm a member of the Bay Area's leftie Alliance of South Asians Taking Action is because they have the ability to deal with nuance

ASATA just published its understanding of how H1B workers fit into a larger vision of the dignity of immigrant workers, including spouses, kids aging out, Muslims, and green card applicants trapped in line forever

Finally found a pic of my all-time favorite #Halloween#costume: a Generic Bad Guy from a #1970s#Bollywood masala film!

I was most definitely named 'Zebisko' (my favorite bad guy name, ever, from one of my favorite movies 'Amar Akbar Anthony'), thrifted the green polyester jacket & red 70s tux shirt, and sadly did not grow the #fumanchu (it's fake hair & spirit gum).

I wish I still had that polyester jacket :(

#FunFact: Masala films blend multiple genres into one movie: action, romance, comedy, drama, and - of course - musicals; the best were made in the late #70s and early #80s. #Films are usually 3h long so you get your money's worth and there is literally something for everybody.

Pointless sidenote: people wore #bellbottoms in India throughout the 80s, and as late as 1994 I met a guy in the Bombay airport who dressed like Neil Diamond from the 70s Every Single Day, down to the hair. The anachronism of #Indian fashion before the internet was AWESOME.

«An #IndianAmerican attorney is being hailed as a “national hero” and “true patriot” in the #US after he successfully argued a case before the US #SupremeCourt against a legal theory being promoted by #conservatives, especially those who support former US #President Donald #Trump. The US-born attorney, named #NealKatyal, was representing the watchdog group ‘ #CommonCause’ and won the judgement 6-3, with support from three #liberal and three #conservative judges.»

Hey there!

I’m an #IndianAmerican 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 who makes #comics, writes #stories, and blogs about trying to become a professional (ie no dayjob) #creative & other stuff.

I also have a later life #adhd diagnosis (at 49) and I’m still sorting through various griefs and trying to figure out what parts of my personality are masking and what are authentic parts of me.

I almost finished a #journalcomic about how I figured out that I have ADHD but I got distracted by something else 🤷🏽‍♂️

Telugu Americans are a large proportion of the Indian population living abroad. In this story for NPR, photographer Akash Pamarthy looks through four lenses (family, keepsakes, festivals and food) at how the immigrant community is keeping the Telugu identity and culture alive.

4/ I research early #IndianAmerican / #SouthAsianAmerican / #Desi histories in Berkeley, California, so some of the names are familiar to me.

For example, Girindra Mukerji was a student organizer outspoken in his opposition to British empire.

He became President of the Oriental Students Association, and led Berkeley's first South Asian anti-racist protest in 1908.

But I don't know the Japanese, Chinese, and Thai co-founders. There's much more here to dig into!
