باوجود وحشت و بی رحمی #طالبان، دختران در #کابل دوباره به خیابانها برگشتند زیرا اگر شجاعت نامی داشت، نام دیگرش #زن بود
Despite the terror and brutality of the #Taliban, the girls of #Kabul returned to the streets because if courage had a name, it would be #Woman@RoqiaSaee
Elon Musk disgusts me. The #X@X invading my space today has the vibes of a rapist, a laughing capitalist patriarchal colonialist rapist, and #ElonMusk can go fuck himself.
No Twitter, no tweets.

Following the Taliban's campaign to collect and burn musical instruments across the country, today the Department of Vice and Virtue in Herat province announced that they have burned the collected instruments in Herat city and its districts.
They warned that the sale of musical instruments is considered "haram", and anyone attempting to sell these instruments will be punished. (Tolo News) #Afghanistan
677 days since the Taliban banned girls from going to school and 217 days since they banned women from going to university.
This is the Taliban’s barbaric reasoning for why they won’t allow women and girls to study in Afghanistan👇�

Allt stöd till pressfrihet och mänskliga rättigheter i Turkiet!
Jag skäms över det Sverige som fjäskar för Erdogan.
De i Turkiet som förtrycks av Erdogans folk vinner inget på att han legitimeras. Inte Sverige heller. Det är bara förluster i att stärka Erdogan. #Turkiet

Nationalförsamlingen i Kuwait 🇰🇼 röstade igår i första omgången (med undantag för den enda kvinnliga parlamentsledamoten, Jenna Bushehri, samt sex mer liberala ledamöter) för att förhindra kvinnor från att rösta eller ställa upp i val om de "inte följer islamisk sharia "; dvs att de inte bär hijab, eller ens bär hijab till byxor och ha smink på sig. (Sista meningen är juristen Areej Hamadah svar på en rak fråga i tråden)>
Mohammad Yunus Rashid said that women “claim to have the right to wear make ups, go out and joke with strangers. Unless they give up these claims, the Islamic Emirate will never allow them to go to school…We will not give them rights.” https://t.co/k4RoAyHpbC

I just mustered up every ounce of courage to interrupt White House Press Secretary @K_JeanPierre and urge the Biden Administration to stop approving new coal, oil, and gas projects.
The climate crisis is here now. @POTUS, listen to Gen-Z, scientists, and frontline communities

Years later we met again, and he said that while in prison he had watched news and he had realized that I was right that day, 9/11, when I said that on a global scale “this will change everything”.
I was in the car listening to the radio, on my way to pick up my kids. Back home I told the young man living with us, in a social program battling his drug dependency and criminality.
I’lI never forget how shocked I was that he didn’t care, and wasn’t interested in the 9/11 news,
I was 15 in Karachi. I don't remember hearing the news, probably asleep because of time difference. But I remember being in the school assembly, having only moved to Pakistan a year before, and the school principle leading the cheers and celebrations of it happening, along with all the teachers. All the kids were jubilant as well. And even at that age, not even knowing any proper context, stood there bemused. That was the day, I began my journey of leaving Islam and my ideological disconnect from Pakistan. In that moment, I looked at those people and I could not understand how can you pretend to be so pious yet celebrate deaths of innocent people. I remember coming home, and my mum actually crying seeing the news yet everyone outside celebrating. I just could not understand how people can harbour so much hate towards innocent strangers.
