Gendered hate online isn’t random.
It’s organised, political, and scaled by AI.
Join @tishasaroyan, @NoopurTiwari & @minicnair for a conversation going beyond trolls to examine power, silencing, and accountability online.

Last year, Elon Musk said Jeffrey Epstein tried to get him to go to his island but he "REFUSED."
New emails show Elon Musk actively asking Epstein "what day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?"
And the next year, Musk asked again if there was a "good time to visit."

Not criminalising marital rape does not save a marriage. It only saves the perpetrator.
#VantageOnFirstpost: The Government of India has opposed marital rape criminalization by calling it "excessively harsh". "Sexual acts by a man on his own wife" are not criminalised in India’s law.
Should marital rape be criminalized? @palkisu tells you.

#BreakingTheNets | Kumia Devi remembers the time when no one from her fishing caste owned any land in her village in #Bihar. They lived and worked on land owned by dominant caste landlords, and endured abuse from them.
How did she and other women transform their community?👇

YOU ARE SENDING THE BOMBS
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.
To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.

Reservation has nothing to do with how rich someone is. It’s not a poverty alleviation scheme. It’s meant for representation. And Tina Dabi & her kids can also be discriminated against. Do Savarnas torture Dalit students at IITs because of their caste or because they are rich ?
Replying to @lucifer_damned
Just a simple question for you, do you think Tina Dabi needed SC reservation or her kids in future should be given reservation??

To those who labeled my previous tweet about an Ambedkarite's rental experience as a 'sob story,' let me clarify: it is no where close to elicit sympathy. Rather, it highlights the ignorance of savarnas regarding the architect of our Constitution & a champion of women's rights.

Americans voting for whoever gives them a false sense of security so they can go back to ignoring the crimes the very people they elect into office commit against the global south is a tale as old as time

I hope we understand that imperialism with a Black face is still imperialism. That imperialism in a woman's body is still imperialism. And it is imperialism that must be stopped

A Tribute to Palestinian Men
A tribute to Palestinian men, who haven’t had a moment of peace for the past 9 months. Palestinian men have been rescuing the injuries using their bare hands. They have been walking miles and miles to collect food and water for their families. They have been building tents over and over again. They have been supporting their families, their communities, their homeland with all they have. They have been killed in every way imagine , thousands have been buried in mass graves & many their bodies were left to be decomposed on the streets , Yet, our names continue to fall on deaf ears as if our lives don't matter.
We have been on the frontlines of this genocide, documenting, helping, cooking, dying and everything in between. I pay tribute to my colleagues, my friends, the elderly, and all the fathers. I pay tribute to the resilient Palestinian men. We deserve life, dignity, and to be humanized in both death and life.

INTERSECTIONALITY without a critique of imperialism, colonial dispossession, and genocide is COMPLICITY.

Men who are violent or controlling to their partners or who ultimately commit #femicide are ‘nice’, ‘normal’ & ‘not aggressive’ to others or in public. That’s exactly the point. Can we stop these commentaries that only serve to miseducate about intimate partner/#genderviolence.
