🕯 Remembering Thamilselvan
Today marks 19 years since Brigadier S.P. Thamilselvan, head of the political wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and its chief negotiator in the peace talks, was killed in a Sri Lankan air force strike on 2 November 2007. Five other LTTE officials were killed with him.
Some 25,000 people attended his funeral in Kilinochchi. In the south, the killing was celebrated with firecrackers. Then defence secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who is accused of overseeing war crimes and genocide against Tamils, warned that it was just the beginning.
@sisyphus808 Nope. My money my choice. I’m a refugee myself and I’ve decided to redirect these funds to desi refugees instead of Sudanese people 🤷🏽
I started donating because of her sharing the link and I’ll stop because of her.
If desi only have each other, my wallet will show it.
Anyways I just cancelled 1.5 years of weekly donations to a Sudan fundraiser you shared because of these tweets. This is a mess I’m not putting my hands into.
is a mess I’m not putting my hands into. Unless we have a personal connection or there’s an immediate risk of physical harm in front of me, I’m not getting involved.
@fudokun7 Because I’m going to give my money to South Asians refugees instead. I started donating because I saw that woman shared the link and I’ll stop because of her.
now people are harassing and being racist to Indians but I have a feeling that in 5 or 10 years those same people are gonna glaze our country a lot like how they do with east asian countries
@kaeshiras_zinda She’s barely hanging onto her life so I’m not too worried. It doesn’t matter how evil her words are, because I trust that the universe will deliver justice upon her as deserved
I’m Tamil Eelam, you daft imbecilic brain rotten waste of matter. My family had to escape Sri Lanka as refugees. It’s so interesting how much you assume because of your perma victim persecution complex.
🚨 KIM NA-RA AND HER NEW WIFE OPEN UP ABOUT WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE BEING LESBIAN IN SOUTH KOREA — AND THE REALITY IS MUCH DARKER THAN MANY PEOPLE IMAGINE.
Kim Na-ra and her wife have been together for eight years, but despite spending nearly a decade building a life together, their marriage still has no legal recognition in South Korea.
Kim explained that when they tried to register their marriage, their application was simply rejected.
She described their everyday reality:
"As a lesbian Korean woman, I can tell you that it's hard. Like, really hard.
I am in a relationship with another woman, and we are always considered 'just friends' by everyone else until I kiss her. That's when hell opens.
People point, stare, laugh, and whisper. Moms shield their children's eyes, while elderly people shake their heads in contempt.
But that's not even the worst part.
Churchgoers approach them to pray, tell them they're going to hell, shout at them, and, in one case, even hit them with a Bible.
Schoolgirls take pictures of them to show their friends later. Street vendors refuse to sell them food. Some mothers even tell their children to 'study hard or you'll become a homo.'
For many lesbian women in South Korea, simply living openly comes with consequences. The community is largely discreet or closeted, with many women coming out in stages, trusting close friends while hiding their identities from family members, colleagues, and employers.
This is the reality behind the beautiful wedding pictures.
Despite being together for eight years, Kim Na-ra and her wife cannot enjoy the same legal recognition as heterosexual married couples. They held their wedding anyway, refusing to wait for society's approval.
@ThePujaTeli She’s trying to position herself as a somewhat “caring ally” whilst saying we deserve the racism we receive because of 10 middle aged self-hating Indians on Facebook
Why are you making racism against Indians about you?
You’re not suffering this specific hate, are you?
Indians and the Indian diaspora are.
So why are you continuing to have a tantrum?
Palestine has more in solidarity than my peoples than anyone, what with Israel funding and training Sri Lanka in their genocide against Tamil Eelam.
But do continue calling refugees squatters, it continues to reveal what a racist, mentally deranged american troglodyte you are.
Oh my god this dumb racist bitch is crashing outttt.
Here’s a history lesson, Tamil people underwent the same genocide that Palestinians experienced in October 2023. In fact, Israel modelled their attacks on Palestine AFTER OUR genocide. Refugees aren’t squatters :)
Maybe try to get a job instead of being a disgusting excuse of a human being. All you do is scrounge around on Twitter begging for scraps like a fucking parasite.
