• Leave it to the Daily News to find a new angle to downplay the significance of Judge Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Of course the editorial employs the model minority myth about Asian Americans being hard working and super successful.
• Thankfully, there are some real articles about the challenges that Asian Americans still face in terms of equality in the workplace, even in a place like Silicon Valley with its "bamboo ceiling".
• Tomorrow, June 3rd, is the big day for Senator Patrick Leahy's (VT) hearing on the Uniting Families Act. Of course the special guests will include Asian American bi-national couple Shirley Tan and Jay Mercado.
• Senator Dan Inouye (HI) is a very powerful man. Just ask the New York Times.
• Wow, Lieutenant Daniel Choi of Knights Out seems to be all over the place these days. He was just in Fresno at the Meet in the Middle rally.
• Looks like like New York City Councilman John Liu is getting a key endorsement.
