Every woman around you has at least one story about sexual abuse she will never tell you. What you know about women’s safety and the lack of it is just scratching the surface.
Men, do better. Do much much better. Hold other men accountable.
Here’s your friendly Olympic reminder:

My goodness. I don’t think any of us can quite comprehend the future ramifications for Vinesh missing weight this morning. When she awoke today, she was India’s first ever female Olympic finalist, guaranteed at least a silver. Now she will be returning home medal-less. God bless her and all she’ll have to endure moving forward. She has looked amazing this week, and deserved to be on that podium today. This is tragic.
They toppled our government.
They broke our party.
They stole our symbol.
They stole our leaders, MPs and MLAs.
Their illegal and anti Maharashtra regime misused the entire system against us.
Their intent was to loot Maharashtra, of its pride and economic strength.
Their intent is to finish democracy and change our Constitution.
Starting from scratch, we contested.
New symbol, new name… and new Josh!
With Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray stands the love of the people.
Today, with the INDIA- MVA alliance numbers, we are deeply grateful to Maharashtra.
Maharashtra has spoken for the truth, for honesty and for unity of our nation.
We stand to protect our Constitution and democratic values.
