——When “Identity” Is Dismissed as a False Question Identity & Belonging Series (Extra) By Voice in Between At a recent community forum, an elderly Chinese immigrant raised his hand during the Q&A session and said earnestly, “I think for people like us—minorities in this country—there’s no point in obsessing over ‘identity.’ What really matters isContinue reading “Assimilate or Stay True?”

在现实与理想之间
《大而美法案》之后的社群行动策略 文|一呼 导语|当法律已成现实,我们如何仍然选择发声、选择行动? 2025年,《大而美法案》(One Big and Beautiful Bill Act, 简称 OBBBA)在激烈争议中通过。这部庞杂的法案囊括了税收调整、能源投资、社会福利重构等多个领域,却也引发了广泛质疑:对中产家庭的支持是否到位?对弱势群体的保护是否充足?公共资源分配是否公平? 法案既已成为现实,反对还“有用”吗?面对这样一个合情合理的问题,不少社区组织者、行动者开始调整姿态,把焦点转向“如何在新制度下争取最大利益”,而不是继续“无力地批评”。但我们想提出一个更具建设性的回应方式:不是批判或务实的二选一,而是批判与务实的双轨并行。

谁来书写我们的共同未来?
身份与族群系列(五) 当族裔认同走出“我是谁”的私人命题,走进制度、叙事与行动的空间 文|之间博客 导语|从“我是谁”走向“我们是谁” 在这个系列的前四篇中,我们从不同角度探讨了身份的形成、扭曲与重塑:从多族裔的共通挣扎,到华人自身的五种认同路径;从学校与社区对身份的构建,到青年如何用创造回应代际张力。 而在这一篇终章里,我们希望提出更进一步的提问:身份,不只是个人经验;认同,也不该止步于内心挣扎。我们是否可以,将这些破碎的、混杂的、边缘的经验,转化为共同的语言与未来的设计?

我们买单,他们得利:为什么中产阶级应当拒绝《大而美法案》
作者:一位美国中产阶级纳税人 他们说这是“一部宏大而美丽的法案”。但在我看来,它更像是一匹特洛伊木马——伪装成利民之举,实则出卖了我们中产家庭的未来,只为继续讨好企业、延续川普时代的税改政策,并加速瓦解我们赖以生存的公共保障体系。 作为一名中产阶级纳税人,我并不奢求政府施舍,我要的是公平、透明和责任感——一个不再把像我这样的劳动者当作沉默“金主”的制度。而这部《大而美法案》(OBBBA),在这些基本要求上全军覆没。
We’re Paying for Their Windfall: Why the Middle Class Should Reject OBBBA
By a Middle-Class American Taxpayer They said it was a “big and beautiful” bill. What they passed was a Trojan horse: one that sells out the future of working families to protect corporate profit, defend Trump-era tax policy, and undermine the very programs middle-class Americans will rely on tomorrow. As a middle-class taxpayer, I’m notContinue reading “We’re Paying for Their Windfall: Why the Middle Class Should Reject OBBBA”
青年世代如何重新定义族裔文化
身份与族群系列(四) 在代际断裂与多元身份中,书写自己的“我们是谁” 文|之间博客 导语|传统不是包袱,而是材料 在前几篇中,我们走过了多族裔的认同地图,分析了华人身份的几种路径,也看见了学校与社区空间对身份的影响。而这一次,我们要聚焦在年轻一代身上。 他们生活在一个前所未有的交汇时代:社群平台、跨语表达、多元文化、全球抗争与身份觉醒并存。他们不满足于继承传统标签,也不愿被框在“模范少数族裔”的静音盒子里。他们要开口,要创作,要打破,要重写。

拖垮「美國製造」的真兇,不是工會
——回應《賭城天天報》的錯誤歸因與資本傲慢 2025年7月13日,《賭城天天報》發表了一篇〈製造業回歸美國的頑疾——過度的工會文化與勞工維權〉,稱台積電亞利桑那廠進展受阻,是因為美國工人太嬌貴、工會勢力過強、社會太維權。這種說法,掩蓋了真正問題——全球資本無止盡地追求利潤最大化,才是讓製造業難以回流的根本原因。
