RULING THE WEEK
Hey, all Elizabeth here. It’s nice to be back with you all for a week when Katie’s out on vacation. I have a bit of a royal scoop to kick off the newsletter this week. After Prince Philip died, I got a series of fascinating messages from my Aunt Diane about her relationship with him.

In February, after a number of anti-Asian attacks in the Bay Area, Jess Owyoung’s sadness quickly turned to outrage.
“I felt like it could have happened to my grandparents,” said Owyoung, 37, a fourth-generation Chinese American who lives in the Bay Area.
She already felt traumatized by news stories she’d seen about the nationwide rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, and knowing that similar violent acts had happened just a few miles from her home left her with a sick feeling, she said.
Compassion in Oakland is one of many grass-roots organizations that have sprung up in response to the rise in anti-Asian violence. Since the onset of the pandemic, hate crimes against Asian Americans are up 150%.
