Buy a Stay Angry Shirt, Support Immigrant Rights in Minnesota

And others items of note from Angry Asian America.


1. Stay Angry Fundraiser

This weekend, all proceeds from sales of Stay Angry gear -- fine shirts and hoodies -- will be donated to MIRAC (MN Immigrant Rights Action Committee), a grassroots, multiracial, and multinational immigrant rights mass-movement organization fighting for legalization for all, an end to immigration raids and deportations, an end to all anti-immigrant laws, and full equality in all areas of life. Buy a shirt or donate directly.



2. Man acquitted of murder in S.F. killing of 'Grandpa Vicha'

The man who was caught on video violently shoving and kililng 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee in San Francisco has been found not guilty of murder. Instead, Antoine Watson was convicted of lesser charges, including involuntary manslaughter and assault with force likely to cause injury. The 2021 case became a nationwide symbol of rising attacks against Asians during the coronavirus pandemic.



3. Video of St. Paul man refusing to open door for federal agents goes viral

When federal agents knocked on this guy's door, he said nope. Kong Vang was working from home in St. Paul on Monday afternoon when ICE agents apparently showed up at his doorstep. Vang started recording. He refused to let the agents inside and demanded to know why they were there. They were not forthcoming. After a minute and a half of back and forth, they left. Because fuck those guys. Vang posted the video to Facebook to spread the word and remind people to know their rights. "They keep on telling you that they think they’re doing the right thing," he told Fox9, "but they're not."


4. Leave Us Alone

"Trump, MAGA, and the right chose Minnesota not because there's an immigration or corruption problem. They want to corrupt us with fear. They want us to stop caring for our neighbors. They want us to stop supporting one another through our robust public programs. When they murdered Renee Nicole Good, a white woman in broad daylight, they used the state as ground zero to see if they can break all of us."



5. Gene Luen Yang To Write X-Men's Jubilee For Marvel With Michael YG

Gene Luen Yang is writing a new X-Men solo series Jubilee: Deadly Reunion, with art by Michael YG, that puts a spotlight on Jubilee's Chinese American heritage. Debuting in April 2026 as part of Marvel's Voices spotlight on AAPI Heritage Month, the saga kicks off when Jubilee's long-lost cousin shows up at the X-Men's doorstep -- with mutant powers of his own and a mission that will force Jubilee to explore her heritage and family history in a profound way.

First official look at Jubilee in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'

Lana Condor stars as the fan-favorite teen mutant at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters



And while we're at it, fellow X-fans, here's your first official look at Lana Condor as Jubilee in X-Men: Apocalypse. (We got an unofficial look when a few set photos leaked earlier this year.)

Jubilee is part of the new generation of students at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Described as "fashionable" -- just look at that totally awesome outfit, complete with the fan-favorite character's signature yellow jacket -- she possesses to the mutant ability to unleash colorful energy bursts.

You know what? I can't wait to see little Asian kids dress up like Jubilee for Halloween.

First Unofficial Look at Jubilee in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'

Set photos reveal an early glimpse of the teen mutant superhero's signature look.



Filming on the latest X-Men movie, X-Men: Apocalypse officially began in Montreal earlier this week, so a few photos from the set have inevitably trickled out to social media, giving X-fans an unofficial first glimpse at some of their favorite young mutant superheroes -- including Lana Condor as Jubilee.

As you can see, she is rocking Jubilee's signature yellow jacket. Those familiar with Jubilee's origin story will remember she was introduced in the pages of The Uncanny X-Men as a mutant teen mallrat.

What Jubilee might have looked like in the latest 'X-Men' movie

Concept art reveals future Jubilee in 'Days of Future Past'



This hit the web a couple of weeks ago, but it just came across my desk, and it's pretty cool...

Did you watch X-Men: Days of Future Past? She wasn't in it for too long, but Fan BingBing as Blink was pretty darn cool. Next time, more Blink. More Asian X-Men in general. That said, some recently revealed concept art indicates what Jubilee, who didn't make it into Days of Future Past, might have looked like in the movie.

'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Concept Art Reveals Future Jubilee

Costume illustrator Philip Boutte Jr. recently posted some concept art for the latest X-Men movie, featuring a variety of alternate designs for Blink, Bishop, Iceman, Storm, Beast and other characters. Cool.

But hold up, his designs also include concepts for the X-Men's Chinese American pyrotechnic mutant Jubilee (who bears a strong resemblance to actress Jamie Chung). It appears the fan-favorite mutant might have been in an early draft of the story, but didn't make it into the final cut of Days of Future Past.
