Incredible scenes in Afghanistan today as male students walk out of their university exam in protest against Taliban’s decision to BAN women & girls from university.
The time is now for men across the country to rise and stand in solidarity!
Fearless girls out protesting today in Herat city and chanting — “Education is our human right.”
It’s worth knowing that these girls are putting their lives at risk by even stepping out of their house. But Afghanistan’s women won’t be silenced.
Remarkably courageous women and girls out on the streets of Kabul today, chanting —
“For the crime of learning, they threw us out of university. Oh honourable countrymen, please support us. Countrymen, countrymen, come break your silence”
A day after of the Taliban BANNED female university education, women & girls have come out on the streets of Kabul protesting against the decree.
They chant —“Either for everyone or for no one. One for all, all for one”
Amplify their voices.
Brave women out on the streets of Kabul today following Talibans BAN on female education.
“They closed the schools, the world remained silent. They closed our universities. Silence. Now our educational courses?. What are we supposed to do? Kill ourselves?
A white professor at Winston Salem State University, an HBCU, had a student arrested this morning for not apologizing to her after she raised her voice in response to the professor raising her voice first.
“I wish he just would have killed me if I knew I had to go through this” —Megan Thee Stallion on the mistreatment she endured after coming forward.
This hurts. This is how misogynoir harms us. If a famous Black woman wants to die after being assaulted, none of us are OK.
Extremely cool that last night in San Antonio when the far-right came to protest a Christmas drag event they found themselves outnumbered 4-1 by community members defending the event.
Ukraine's country code has apparently been deleted from Twitter's database. This means Ukrainians with 2-factor authentication cannot access their accounts, in the midst of a deadly war. It's time to investigate Elon Musk's conversation with Vladimir Putin https://t.co/y9spOFDMKc
Went to see a patient & the RN told me: “Heads up. Our patient is she/her.”
Patient at one point asked me a question, I replied “Yes ma’am.” She hadn’t quite looked at me until I said that. After she was fully engaged.
Here’s how long it took me to adjust: zero seconds.
On Elon Musk's Twitter:
- Slurs against Black people have tripled
- Slurs against women are up 33%
- Slurs against Jewish people are up 61%
- And slurs against gay men are up 58%
These numbers are abysmal – and unacceptable.
Today, @RepMarkTakano and I are demanding action.
My pronouns are he/him. And I want to thank Dr. Fauci for his long service.
Be on the right and respectful side of things. It’s better for your own soul, and better for others.
