I’m going to try to save myself the energy of constantly trying to prove myself to others and hope maybe @RanaAyyub, @thewire_in, and other “progressive” people and outlets would read this. You all need to do better.

Amu Bernie deserves this. His influence, his campaigning, his support, and his perseverance made what we saw two nights ago possible. I trust him with seeing us through to the next chapter in America’s story. The one entitled “Universal Healthcare and Living Wages for All.”
While I’m being optimistic…

Wonderful to be at Madison this past week discussing the Nath Yogis of Jodhpur and the Mahamandir or Ayas Deonath with members of the Rajasthani Bhasha Academy.
Regardless of their illustrious backgrounds, neither #AlokRai nor #Mahmoodfarooqui seem to understand that other women and I are not looking for retribution. We are asking for accountability. Please look up the difference. Your inability to comprehend is dangerous.
Just finished up my presentation and excited to receive feedback and encouragement on my next project about the Nath Yogis of Jodhpur.

Cuando los brasileños se dieron cuenta que Musk y Zuckerberg estaban manipulando el algoritmo para interferir en elecciones de su país se volcaron hacia las RRSS y la llenaron de videos de Lula elaborados con IA.
Fenómeno social a estudiarse por décadas.
The selected silences continue. The word "rape" is removed from another review. More influential friends close ranks around Mahmood Farooqui, ensuring women know that powerful men will not be held accountable for their actions. This is a disgrace. @KarvaanIndia @Asad_Ashraf88

This is a beautiful sight. I am filled with hope.
Brother @LulaOficial - you are a true man of the people, not just of the Brazilian people but the people of the world.

SOS messages coming in from Pandwala Khurd where the Delhi Police dumped a bunch of protestors after allegedly assaulting some of them quite badly. Now a mob of goons has gathered outside the community centre they were left at. There is no medical treatment for the injured kids, no transport and no security from the menacing crowd that has obviously been allowed to gather to “teach a lesson” to the protestors.
@AmitShah and @DelhiPolice this is on you.

Well, at least things are clear...
Some of the buses Delhi Police is using to detain those protesting against the chief election commissioner are marked ‘election duty’. @thewire_in

It’s really up to the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the Hon’ble Delhi High Court if they wish to remain relevant for people and true to their constitutional oath.
On 10th October, Delhi Police detained and assaulted many lawyers, senior and junior.
Many peaceful protesters were brutally assaulted by the police.
Police is brazenly assaulting protesters. The videos are all in the public domain. No dearth of evidence.
Young Leaders and journalists continue to be held in illegal detention.
Peaceful assembly and protests are constitutional.
Standing orders denying permission are illegal !
Law and Order cannot subvert democracy!

The Pentagon is planning to livestream an execution by firing squad. That is not justice. It is spectacle.
We should be horrified by any attempt to turn state-sanctioned killing into public viewing. Violence does not become moral because the government carries it out. Death does not become justice because it is legal.
We must be able to hold people accountable for horrific acts without becoming more comfortable with killing.
A society that normalizes public execution is not moving closer to justice. It is moving further away from humanity.

Now my colleague @ShoaibDaniyal, Scroll’s political editor, has been detained near CR Park — nowhere near Jantar Mantar. My colleague @sighyush was detained earlier in the day. This is unacceptable.

Absolutely brilliant that SFI, AISA, the CPI(M) and the Left have taken the protest to other parts of Delhi.
(INA and access to the Jantar Mantar radial further up partly blocked as of now, be careful if you're out.)
Already clear that the protesters have won the day. Imagine bringing in 25,000-odd troops, cutting off transport and the Internet, barricading the city's central hub — and still they can't stop Delhi from showing up.
