Saddest story from UP is the decimation of BSP.
Mayawati defeated patriarchy& Caste system to become India’s 1st Dalit woman CM.
But true miracle of democracy would’ve been to see her as India’s 1st Dalit PM.
A setback not just to Dalits but everyone who believes in idea of India
Owaisi’s AIMIM which got less than 0.5% vote share is yet again being projected as the villain behind “secular” parties losing elections to BJP. This is a common islamophobic trope peddled by “secularists” after every election in the last few years.
@martin_esamayoa@jameelajamil @ZachMcGaugh Feminism means standing up for all women not the ones who Shame others for not working hard enough and not acknowledging their own privilege.
@PKhakpour @ZachMcGaugh Photoshop when used as a tool to deceive women into buying products and feeling bad about themselves is the shameful act: not pointing it out. It’s false advertising and has lead to literal psychological harm in women who follow them. I said what I said.
I think if you grew up in Beverly Hills with super successful parents in what was simply a smaller mansion… nobody needs to hear your thoughts on success/work ethic. This same 24 hours in the day shit is a nightmare. 99.9% of the world grew up with a VERY different 24 hours.
@Shell No worries @Shell , I get it! I made a public promise to stop buying blood diamonds a few days ago, but today's flash sale was just too good. And besides, I'm sending the forced child miners a free t-shirt!
Oil company revenues since last year:
Exxon: ⬆️ 57%
Chevron: ⬆️ 84%
Shell: ⬆️ 49%
BP: ⬆️ 45%
We cannot allow big oil companies to continue to take advantage of the war in Ukraine & inflation to make huge profits by jacking up gas prices. We need a windfall profits tax.
I think this women has actually never met a refugee. Provide them opportunities & a safe space and they will build their life and contribute to society. I know so many in Netherlands who are refugees from Afghanistan, Syria, Ethiopia who have done well in their careers, lives
My latest for Washington Post. Modi, unwilling to denounce Putin, turns the trauma of Indian students fleeing Ukraine into a campaign prop, a publicity campaign https://t.co/Dt7mMsjTe1
