    Never had I felt so strongly about something to write an op-ed like this. Thank you @sfchronicle for allowing me to use my voice and to @abc7newsbayarea for championing me to be a voice for others. Especially in the Asian American community. bit.ly/2Umv0N2

    UPDATE: An Uber spokesperson sent me this statement— “The behavior seen in the video is appalling. The rider no longer has access to Uber.”

    This woman and her husband were stopped at a light at Montgomery & Bush yesterday morning when a tow truck comes out of nowhere & tries to hook onto their Toyota! I spoke to Joanne today who says her car is paid off, paid her registration & doesn’t get why her car was targeted.

    UPDATE: Subhakar shared these images with me detailing how Uber offered him $20 to clean his car after one of the riders, according to SFPD sprayed what is believed to be pepper spray in his car. Uber then offered him $40. In the end he was given $120 for his ordeal.

    UPDATE: an early Uber investor @cyantist has started a @gofundme for Subhakar. She was appalled to learn Uber initially offered $20 & ultimately $120 for his experience.

    8 armed suspects ransacked the legacy Oakland Chinatown business Phuong Jewelry yesterday at around 12:30. The family tells me, in less than one minute 85-90% of their inventory was taken. Watch as owner Diane runs to the back & gets her 76-year old husband. He storms out

    I called Subhakar to check in & ask how he kept his his cool during the ordeal. "Because that is our culture. We respect & listen & that's all I could do" He also thanks everyone for their support & says he'll send much of his @gofundme $ to his wife & 8-year old in Nepal.

    This is Mr. Chheng. He is in his 70’s and woke up at 3:30 Saturday to his car engulfed in flames. He says he is one of only a couple Asian households on his street and feels he was targeted. #StopAAPIHate

    At first this was scary. But after 2+ years of regularly covering horrifying attacks on Asian Americans…& the murder of security guard Kevin Nishita, I figured it was time to learn how to responsibly handle a firearm. TY John & the team for the lesson 🙏🏽 #StopAAPIHate

    As if hearing an 80-year old man cry out for help after getting knocked to the ground in San Leandro isn’t bad enough… ...the suspects are teens as young as 16 and you can hear one laughing loudly. (1/3) #stopaapihate #aapi
