This.

For the men who have trouble understanding what consent sounds like, consent is the other person saying yes without coercion or force. Get it right.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman.

Yes, that's the point.

It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Fun fact! Elmo is actually short for El Mohammed

@GhoshSamyak Oh Samyak, I just saw this. I'm sending you so much love. Please reach out if you want to.

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

@nehavermani Aww, thank you! I'm trying to be on here less so I didn't see it.

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

@nehavermani ? Thank you. I didn't see!

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

@PriyamvadaGopal Thank you. We all do; the system is not made to hold the wealthy and elite accountable. I hope that will change in the future.

A letter written to my advisor at the behest of SR Farooqui attempting to have me drop the charges against his nephew. My adviser, refused to reply and instead sent the email to me. Personal and professional pressure was applied to ANYONE who knew me. #mahmoodfarooqui #feebleno

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

@PriyamvadaGopal The reason that they have tried to make Dan Hussein a pariah is that he 1). failed to convince me to drop charges after AR called him, asking him to contact me, and 2) testified to what I told him when I had managed to leave the house after the rape. He told the truth about them.

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

@PriyamvadaGopal Yes. Allison Busch provided this so that it could be submitted to the court records of the many ways the family attempted to silence me. I repeat. Mahmood Farooqui was found guilty by the initial courts. Anusha Rizvi also contacted my friends to pressure me into dropping charges.

[Mario da Penha @mleccha]

Shattered by the extensive inventory of otherwise intelligent and supposedly progressive people — many of whom I respect deeply — determined to rehabilitate Mahmood Farooqui, through an act of collaborative, conscious forgetting.

The only right to forget lies with the survivor.

[Karuna Nundy @karunanundy]

Mahmood Farooqui is trying to rehabilitate himself by associating with others. Worth looking at the evidence in his rape case, where he was acquitted for barrelling ahead even when the woman, admittedly, said no.

[Supriya Sharma @sharmasupriya]

If you haven't already read @kavita_krishnan's piece on what Noam Chomsky’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein says about progressive politics, now is the time to read it

[Azad Essa @azadessa]

Dhurandhar works because it taps into a revenge fantasy shaped by Hindu nationalist politics — offering moral supremacy over a Muslim Pakistan. If this is the cinema that sells, India is heading to a very dark place.

Flores’ fascinating new book on the Portuguese Empire’s survival between infancy and adolescence in the Indo-Persian world.

@karunanundy @Apoorvanand__ Thank you

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

The Great Shamsuddin Family is simply a great sham from a family trying to erase the fact that its director is a rapist and its producer, his apologist. @Apoorvanand__ is my dissent loud enough for you to recognize now?

[Apoorvanand अपूर्वानंद @Apoorvanand__]

The Great Shamsuddin Family is a gift to Hindus from Anusha Rizvi, wrapped in love: they can feel this large heart, quivering with foreboding and pulsating with desire for life.

@swatiatrest Thank you. It is. I appreciate you.

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

One of my advisors, a historian,told me to make sure I keep everything. At the time I thought it was an insensitive comment. I could hardly keep myself together. Now I realize the practicality.

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

That was my mistake. Mahmood Farooqui is the rapist, not Anusha Rizvi. She apologized for him and then tried to silence me in a variety of ways. I’m sure this is all in the judicial records that I still have from the trials . The emails, the texts, the WhatsApp’s, the testimonies

[Christine Marrewa (chrismarrewa.bsky.social) @CMarrewa]

@nehavermani @Apoorvanand__ Thank you
