"Here on the slopes of hills.
Facing the dusk
And the canon of time
Close to the garden of broken shadows
We do what prisoners do.
And what the jobless do:
We cultivate hope."

Proud to be #Indian, leading the world in internet shutdowns and restricting VPN.

My grandma hired a "security cat" to protect the grain on her farm...

My two cents on the CJP is - it lacks the ideology, vision and the organization to take on the Indian state & the rot within Indian society. It talks of social justice but they themselves are unaware of what they mean by it. A social vision w/o uttering “caste” or “Muslims” ?

Lest we forget, today is Language Martyrs Day. 65 years ago on May 19, 11 Bengalis were killed fighting for Bengali autonomy in Barak Valley, Assam were killed by para forces. Among them was 16-yr-old Kamala Bhattacharya, India’s first woman language martyr.

I’m happy having Islam and Muslim brothers and sisters in the UK.

They are just being sent to Vantara, not to worry. What is the need for forests when there is Vantara?

[Ajay Joe @joedelhi]

Dwarka forest in Delhi is being destroyed under Supreme Court–directed orders.

As the destruction begins, families of hungry Nilgai — Asia’s largest antelopes — are being forced out of the forest and onto the streets of Dwarka in search of food and shelter.

@mssirsa @moefcc can you help them ? At least let some part of the 12 acres be left for them to live a dignified life !

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.

Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.

We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.

We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.

Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.

That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

Now, more than ever, we need a liberatory feminism that is in direct, fierce ideological opposition to Hindutva and its enemy feminism.

The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory.

Huge congratulations to Zoë and the entire team.

Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried.

And we're making hope normal again.

Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC’s loss.

They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal’s mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy.

Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about 🇮🇳.

[Vidya @VidyaKrishnan]

There ought be a spl place in journalism Hell for this kinda pol commentary

BJP isnt learning "doggedly from loss". They maraud through every other check/balance & win

That they are an "ultimate election machine" reveals how lil interest they hv in what comes after: governance

[Shalmoli @Shalmoli__]

Had intense nightmares for the first time, and woke up in deep despair. Will this be the new norm? Can't even begin to imagine how Bengali muslims must be feeling...

Good news: Human rights activist and lawyer Surendra Gadling granted bail by the Bombay High Court after nearly 8 years in the false Elgar Parishad case.

Any journalists looking for a new job? The Martha Vineyard Gazette is looking for a reporter to write about big issues on the small island. The job comes with a furnished two bedroom home. Details here: https://t.co/3yueOf32gT

Except Jharkhand, India's major coal fields are now in BJP-ruled states. Adani Power will grow exponentially, which will mean more displacement of Dalits, Adivasis, and agriculturist castes from their homelands, and which will mean more destruction to enviornment.

I heard stories in Diamond Harbour of not a single person going to vote for bjp (I mean, Abhishek is also a goonda) but what do you mean trailing in DH? Malda? Murshidabad? Unreal
