There is something fundamentally very wrong with many Sri Lankans, and the laughing reactions to a post about the over 450 skeletal remains uncovered at the Chemmani mass grave is the perfect example.

This goes beyond racism. It is sheer, unfiltered inhumanity.

I hope AKD realizes that this unprecedented shift in his popularity and his party’s image is primarily because of the women who drove the change. I look forward to seeing more female participation in governance now. It’s the difference we’ve needed.

Record heatwaves worldwide. Hospitalizations, injuries, and deaths. Crops destroyed. Fires raging.

Some say bold climate action is "expensive." Compared to what?

When you mobilize & organize communities in collective action best not to virtue signal. Don’t berate them. Don’t tell them if they don’t turn up today they can’t complain re state of country. Don’t point to one date as the date that everything changed.

🇱🇰#SriLanka: Ahead of large demonstration in Colombo on Saturday, 9 July, we urge authorities to show restraint in the policing of assemblies & to prevent violence. All Sri Lankans have the right of freedom of expression & peaceful assembly: https://t.co/hB25LWyQUG

Thankful for Pragas' consistent and reliable reporting on issues/events that many others didn't cover. What a loss this is - rest in power.

Please also take a moment to read his words from a few months back, about navigating #COVID while living with muscular dystrophy. #lka

America is vaccinating 16 year olds while tens of thousands of Indians die. The US has EMBARGOED basic supplies, and India can't produce vaccines for themselves or supply COVAX. This is an absolute crime against humanity. Never forget.

Our activists who painted the mural to #stopecocidesl for the Global Climate Strike by @Fridays4future are now sitting on it and refusing to budge while the police are trying to take custody of it. @GotabayaR why are you so scared of young climate activists?? #lka

"Journalism’s calling is to speak truth to power. But every time a journalist is attacked, and the perpetrators go free, the space for independent reporting shrinks" - using examples from #SriLanka, @tingilye writes on a growing global trend

“People say we are pessimistic and doomish. But activists are the ones who are really doing something and for that you need to be very optimistic. To be able to think you can actually change something.”
