I write about loss and the blanket of fatigue and grief over all of us for @YaleSPH

The biggest joke here is on Mumbai’s law and order:

The guy who leads this mob walks into a police station fearlessly, registers a complaint against #KunalKamra but faces no action himself. 👏👏👏

[Dhanya Rajendran @dhanyarajendran]

We owe it to Kunal Kamra for standing for free speech and media freedom. It was he who went to court against the govt trying to introduce its fact check unit as part of IT rules and got a stay order

Just a real question, when AI will replace this job?
Stop Caste based manual scavenging!

My latest for @TeenVogue explores the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.

Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it was tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars

I've spent years working on this and it really comes down to this:

Any single tiny thing you can do to feel like you're helping build a better future is more productive than 10,000 hours of dread.

While Rona Wilson and Sudhir Dhawale have been granted bail in Bhima Koregaon case, spare a thought for Mahesh Raut. He was granted bail by Bombay HC in September 2023 but Supreme Court paused his bail pending the appeal. He is in jail for 16 months even after being granted bail.

43,000 ASHA community health workers in Karnataka with 100% union density just won a 20% pay rise after a massive struggle!

1/n The discourse around free public transport for women often misses the crucial point: it's not simply about convenience, but about fundamental access to opportunity. It's not a "freebie," but a strategic intervention addressing systemic inequalities.

This very uc thing of not throwing away food because it's stale, but "let's give it to the maid; nothing will happen to them they have immunity" n call it a good practice cuz 'one shouldn't waste food' is very problematic, to say the least. You won't eat it because you know it's+

Today, Gisèle Pelicot will address the court where 51 men are on trial accused of raping her for only the second time. Crowds of people at Avignon court to hear her speak. #Mazan #massrape

The death of GN Saibaba is not just a tragedy; it is an institutional murder executed with impunity, facilitated by a system designed to crush dissent. For close to a decade that the Indian state held him in inhumane conditions, knowing full well the impact it would have on his health, all while cloaking its cruelty behind the veil of legality and the UAPA—a law that masquerades as national security but functions as a weapon of repression.

“Bombay's High Court granted Saibaba bail on medical grounds 14 months after his May 2014 arrest. (He was taken to hospital 27 times during this period, and his left hand became paralyzed.”

You’ve seen people selling oxygen cylinders in black during Covid but you’re upset over Coldplay tickets?

It’s outrageous that Missouri is so close to executing Marcellus Williams. He was convicted at a trial where prosecutors intentionally struck at least one Black person from the jury pool. Witnesses were paid to point the finger at Marcellus. His DNA is not on the murder weapon.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

Every Modi trip is a reminder of how utterly repulsive the upper caste diaspora is - sitting far away and funding, cheering and whitewashing the very real destruction of minority and oppressed caste lives in India just to feel better about their sad little insecurities.

It's been 3 months since Dalit residents of Jai Bhim Nagar were left on the streets when their homes were demolished by bulldozer action that neither made national headlines nor pushed opposition into action.

Since then with support from a student collective from IIT & activists

The fact that defense attorneys were allowed to badger Gisele until she cried in court today is horrendous. At their best, defense attorneys do an important job. These are trash. They asked her if she enjoyed “these partners” - by which they meant the men who raped her while 1/
