We are Robots
' We have become cowards
Lynchings are happening everyday
Sticks and stones are breaking heads
We keep walking
Or become part of the mob
To hide our faces behind the crowd '

தோழர்களே! திருப்பூர் மாவட்டம் தாராபுரம் தாலுகாவில் சொன்னாங்கால்பாளையம் கிராமத்தில் முருகன் என்கிற தலித் இளைஞன் சாதி வெறியர்களால் அடித்து படுகொலை!

Can't get over how we're being asked to pretend "Death, death to the IDF" is some kind of hate crime at the exact same time IDF soldiers are telling the Israeli press they're being ordered to massacre starving civilians at aid sites.

A man kills his wife and child
No outrage?
No hand wringing on television and thousands of social media posts on how terrible Indian men are? And this was a 'love marriage'

No splashing of the names and pictures everywhere?

Because this is routine!!!

How many of you know that abuse usually intensifies, and often starts, when a woman is pregnant?

Girls, be warned!
Besides all the research data, I have personally also observed this time and again.

THAT is how degraded men are - on the average (yeah, I know not all men). A woman carries your child and you only think that she is now more vulnerable and has less room to walk out on you. That is also a time when a man is more likely to cheat on his wife.

Women stuck in such abusive situations are at the most vulnerable when they have married such a loser against family wishes. How do they go back and tell the parents that the man is abusing them?

Have met multiple women - educated, working - and still getting physically abused. No, it doesn't happen only to your domestic staff.

Let me repeat, as per official data at least 30% of Indian husbands beat up their wives. The actual number is likely to be higher both because many women do not report it (they try to hide their husband's dirty secrets - often from even their own families) and because a few slaps do not even 'count'

I debated whether to share my story on here, but I guess I will.

I think there's an idea out there that millions of violent criminals are pouring across the border, carrying machetes and drugs, looking to harm Americans. Certainly, while some people fall into that category, the vast majority of undocumented immigrants don't.

My family escaped Vietnam after the Tet Offensive and went through an arduous journey that eventually landed them in the Canada. My father worked there for a time as a janitor; my mother, a secretary. When work fell through, my dad was offered to work with his sister in the United States, so he went, as our family needed money. He ended up staying in the US longer than he was supposed to — not knowing immigration laws — and asked my mom to come be with him. Of course, she went and carried me over the border while I was still a baby.

I'm still unsure whether we technically broke an immigration law. The border between Canada and the United States was pretty porous (as it is today, for the most part). But either way, since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant. Yet, I've been in the United States since I was a baby. My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else.

The lack of legal immigration has totally shaped my life. It has made every interaction with the law much scarier. It has shaped which opportunities I could or could not get. It has taken an emotional toll, as this legal issue hangs over your head like a black cloud.

There are millions of people in my situation — people who were brought here as children, some babies, and were unable to raise their hand during this process and say "maybe we should hire a lawyer." Parents may have crossed the border not knowing about the law, as the law can be pretty confusing and lawyers are expensive. Perhaps, in the end, they should have hired a lawyer; but sometimes life is messy. In the end, they crossed for the same reason many people rise every day: to support their families.

I think it's unreasonable to deport millions of people who have contributed positively to society. It's simply not true that the majority of these people are violent criminals carrying drugs. Many own small businesses; many work as skilled laborers (including garment workers!). The vast majority are good, honest people. For those of us who grew up in the United States, sending us "back" to our "home" country would mean sending someone to a foreign land, as they grew up in the United States. Tearing families apart based on immigration status seems inhumane.

About twenty years ago, I watched with some small measure of hope that the Dream ACT would pass and help a portion of undocumented immigrants. I saw people march angrily in the streets (something I supported). But I was dismayed to see nothing really come about. In fact, when Obama passed DACA, I was skeptical that it would be sensible to give your information to the federal government without a guaranteed path to citizenship. It seems that the Trump administration may use those lists to hunt down immigrants.

I think the ICE sweeps are inhumane. I support and admire the protestors who are putting their bodies on the line for non-violent resistance. Ultimately, I think we need to solve this issue on a systemic level. It's unreasonable to me to expect that the government will deport some 10-20 million people. Even deporting 1 million will cause an insane amount of chaos, not to mention an incredible amount of wasteful government spending. The militarization of law enforcement is over the top and only escalate the situation.

I have seen people march on this issue, only for it to be dropped later and dissolve into quiet grumbles. In the end, nothing is done for immigrants. Time passes until decades later, we have another political crisis like the one we have today. This cycle seems unsustainable. I hope people sustain this energy to solve the immigration issue and put undocumented immigrants — most who are peaceful, skilled, and hard-working citizens — on a path to citizenship. As time continues to go by, many undocumented immigrants are seeing their lives wasted away.

If you care about this issue, I hope you get involved on the long haul: volunteer for pro-immigrant groups, donate to mutual aid, and perhaps pursue career paths that help people in this situation. I was moved to read someone on here say that, when they found their employee was undocumented, they helped them get a green card. The path was difficult, as our immigration system is broken (it took them 11 years). But I can tell you that this is like pulling someone drowning in raging waters.

Ultimately, I hope me sharing this story helps push back against the idea that all undocumented immigrants are MS-13 members. I know many people in my position and they are all like your neighbors.

New low for religious persecution in Moldova.

Yesterday, Archbishop Markel was stopped from leaving Chisinau airport for Jerusalem, where he was due to collect the Holy Fire to return to his homeland, a major Easter tradition.

“I was searched twice, for some reason, and the protocol says nothing suspicious was found. But they wouldn’t give me my passport. The border guards were told to return my documents only once the plane had been up in the air for 30 minutes,” says the archbishop.

The kicker: pro-EU Moldovan government just gave green light for Romanian-funded and anti-Russian Bessarabian church to travel with the Holy Fire instead.

EU wants to turn Moldova into a second Ukraine.

A rigged election and EU accession referendum.

Trumped-up charges against opposition politicians – governor of Gagauzia Evgenia Gutsul.

Crackdown on independent media.

Restrictions on Russian language in schools and on TV.

This Easter, I pray for the people of Moldova.

What’s wrong with discussing the truth?

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

UPDATE: Thanks to all your support this weekend at the @AngelikaFilmNY, “The Encampments” has the potential to make box office history and break the record for the highest opening weekend per theater average for a documentary!

Breaking this record will help get this film in theaters nationwide to tell the real story of the student movement and Mahmoud Khalil.

There are only tickets left for the 10a, 1030a, 12:30p and 10p shows today. Everything else is already sold out. Thank you!
