Bombs dropped over a sunny sky as a child plays football — the powerful reference on the shirt worn by Palestine’s flag-bearer Waseem Abu Sal at the Olympics Opening Ceremony 🇵🇸

Today, May 10th, is the anniversary of the outbreak of the largest anti-colonial uprising in history: the violent revolution known in Britain as the Indian Mutiny and in India as the First War of Independence.

@EmpirePodUK has two episodes on the events of 1857:
No.3- Mutiny, Uprising and Rebellion
and more recently:

No.146- The Empire on which the Sun Never Set
Both available now

Many stirring moments from the CAA-NRC protests but maybe none as this sign at the Calcutta derby held up by both fans of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal.

Uses #1619Project as political prop in a video that opens with growing up where railroad tracks (not white people) divided the town by race. Talking about being the child of immigrants without acknowledging that the rights she had in SC were won by Black resistance. Just peak.

📢 My latest research article published by @thirdworldq journal presents a historical analysis of (colonial and current) social hirarchies, patriarchies and regime reforms, underlining how anti-trafficking governance in India reproduces marginalisation.

Reminder that Queen Elizabeth is not a remnant of colonial times. She was an active participant in colonialism. She actively tried to stop independence movements & she tried to keep newly independent colonies from leaving the commonwealth. The evil she did was enough

Palestinians deserve freedom from militarized violence too.

We shouldn’t be sending an additional $1B to an apartheid state’s military. Especially not when we are failing to adequately invest in the health care, housing, education, and other social services our communities need.
