Thrilled to see young boys standing up to systemic problems with clear heard, thorough investigation and ground work instead of only emotionally. This gen Z push back is worth following and standing with💪🏾

This encyclical needs all our attention. Intentional and crucial questions discussed here need wider discussion

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

Disgusting shameless casteists!! No conscience in any of them!!🤬

[The Dalit Voice @ambedkariteIND]

A priest named Vijay Pandit attempted to rape a 10-year-old Dalit girl inside a temple. When action was taken against the accused under the POCSO Act, the entire Brahmin community surrounded the police station in support of the accused.

This is a shameful situation where Brahmins are supporting the POCSO accused based on their caste. The incident took place in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.

@ambedkariteIND @pbhushan1 Disgusting casteists!! There's no iota of conscience left in them!!

What kind of arrogance is this on the part of a visa office? In Spain will they be allowed to have an inaccessible visa office? This is absolutely illegal
@IndiaInSpain

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

This lack of wheelchair accessibility at Chennai's Spain visa office is unacceptable and illegal under Indian and EU law @BLSintServices @SpainInIndia @IndiainSpain @MSJE_AIC

@meenakshibalu is stuck facing steps for her 10:30 visa appointment because she's a wheelchair user! 😡

@Anbil_Mahesh the heat wave has started in earnest. Yet you have not directed schools to close. Schools are still having special classes in this heat and it threatens their health. Please issue strong directives that all schools should close immediately.

When a wheelchair icon is there in a flight's storage section, why is it dumped with other stuff and there's no place for assistive devices of a disabled person. Stowed in overhead storage caused injury to @meenakshibalu @airindia unacceptable!

[Smitha Sadasivan @SmithaSadasiva5]

@airindia @DGCAIndia what rules are you following? Why cant you ensure safety of passengers with disabilities. Why shd overhead bin be dumped with luggage & also assistive aids that it fell on the head of @meenakshibalu. Assistive devices should be kept in specific storage only.

@tspadmapriya @VinithaMurukes @jerivan @daneshaclude @Deepak_TMN @meenakshibalu @aisrao @Tn_Diff_abled @SmithaSadasiva5 @chennaicorp @ramyakannan We dream of accessible and inclusive toilets, but until then we will be crystal ball gazing and hoping the predictions and promises are fulfilled by the state.

Ban @YBMTravels and penalize the travels for not maintaining basic hygiene protocols. Private Buses charge more than trains and if they cannot provide basic cleanliness and hygiene their travel license should be withdrawn. @mkstalin @tamilnadutransport

[Smitha Sadasivan @SmithaSadasiva5]

@YBMTravels didnt follow safety& health protocols in their bus. This has created mental agony & health threats to all passengers inclduing children. So YBMtravels shd be banned immediately, compensation be given to all passengers @sivasankar1ss @CMOTamilnadu @mkstalin @tnstc_setc

@CMOTamilnadu @mkstalin @udaynidhistalin
In the week when we celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities this is a really sad commentary on the disability commissionerate

[DRA India (Disability Rights Alliance) @DisabilityIndia]

Repairs at disability commissionerate could do with your speed @CMOTamilnadu @mkstalin ! Sole lift isn't working from Dec 2nd & drainage problem at sensory garden hasn't been fixed for months!

Every office ground floor must have meeting rooms & single window counter as failsafe.

@Priyanshi50 @nsitharaman This woman is a product & perpetuator of systemic patriarchy & brahminical supremacy. t is precisely 'cos of her caste & economic privilege+social capital, that she can remain oblivious to what it means to live within patriarchy and brahminical superiority every day.

[Vaishnavi Jayakumar @vjayakumar]

Dear Govt lawyer arguing in Supreme Court today re Rajive Raturi PIL on accessibility, you're misleading SCI by saying the 5 year deadline for retrofitting India is still underway.
It expired on 14th June 2022.
STILL not a single new / old accessible facility in India!
Perjury?

[Vaishnavi Jayakumar @vjayakumar]

.@CDSCO_INDIA_INF's press note muddied the ECP-prescription controversy so much that some people (including media) got back after the petition was shared asking if this was still an issue.

Make no mistake, it is!

Inspired by @PIBFactCheck's 'Myth vs Facts', here's an explainer!

[Vaishnavi Jayakumar @vjayakumar]

No @CDSCO_INDIA_INF, the press release purportedly by you & media coverage with anon sources don't inspire confidence!
