Hello at the end of a sleepless week.

In this episode, we analyze the many responses to the murders in Atlanta — in a spirit, of course, of solidarity.

Should the murders be viewed as a hate-crime-atlanta-shootings.html">white-supremacist hate crime? An occasion for more policing? Or less?

Are we guilty of assimilating the Atlanta shootings to general headlines about anti-Asian racism? Do we risk losing the specificity of class, gender, and the massage industry in particular?

Were the killings rooted in shooting-massage-sex-work.html">misogyny and fetishization? In histories of empire?

Are there too many historians on twitter? (yes)

And are geopolitical and economic tensions between U.S. and China in the mix? Is this a moment for solidarity between Chinese, Korea, and other Asian diasporas, or a moment of splinter?

Plus: Tammy reflects on a rally in Brooklyn (thanks to the Patreon Discord chatroom).
