Keep space for tenderness, and remember to direct the everyday rage caused by injustice outwards towards the structures that cause it.

[janellelapointe.bsky.social @janellelapointe]

Thousands of lives stolen by Residential Schools, thousands stolen by the child welfare system, thousands incarcerated, thousands unhoused, thousands without clean drinking water. So much death, pain, violence and destruction in Canada’s 154 years. What’s to celebrate? I’m tired.

What’s in a name?

I explored that question for my article: https://t.co/ZQdCSdYq1O

Check it out for more on what I heard from linguistics experts, people who’ve had challenges with their own names, how I’ve been saying mine wrong most of my life and why I decided to stop now.

india is targeting young women to silence dissent & muzzle free speech. 21yo climate activist #DishaRavi was arrested for tweeting a benign google doc about the #farmersprotest. bjp ministers have called for her “eradication” & their online army "jokes" about her custodial rape

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

hope everyone fighting to #ReleaseNodeepKaur has spent time listening to her interviews. She is strong fighter for workers & against exploitative employers/industrialists.

#FreeNodeepKour also means challenging family's own exploitation of workers at their businesses, farms etc

The Indian government must immediately stop its escalating crackdown on protesters, farming leaders and journalists, amid ongoing nationwide demonstrations against three recently introduced farm laws.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

As I tweeted last week, now would be as good a time as ever for @Twitter to create a symbol for the historic #FarmersProtest hashtag.

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

Just for those who needs this spelt out — the global attention on India isn't just because of the farm laws and whether farmers are for it or against it. It's because of state reaction to dissent and protests. And that, in any country, isn't simply an internal matter.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

Rihanna has the Indian government shook. Who needs an album when you can uplift the oppressed??

We love to see it! #FarmersProstest

[Jo Kaur @SikhFeminist]

Bollywood is a terrible industry full of terrible people. Bollywood regularly & blatantly churns out misogyny, racism, colorism, and casteism.

[rupi kaur @rupikaur_]

shoutouts to EVERYONE & EVERY movement bravely resisting this regime. kashmiris who have suffered endlessly. shaheen bhag protestors. the students. activists. jailed journalists. women. dissent matters against authoritarians. & that's what's happening right now #FarmersProtest

[The Caravan @thecaravanindia]

Behind this wave of nationalism in Hindi cinema, however, there seems to be a system of unspoken collusion. The image-conscious government watches closely not just the content of films but also the opinions publicly expressed by celebrities. https://t.co/c3VZOkTQ9F

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

Thread: Journalism is under threat. The new counter response to stories isn't a denial followed by corrective steps, as it always has been, it's an FIR. Arrests, sedition cases, lawsuits. #Speakup

[JUGNI STYLE @JugniStyle]

India is arresting journalists and activists and the world is turning a blind eye. @Twitter is complicit by suspending legitimate journalist + activist accounts in India at the government's request. Can you imagine Twitter doing this in Canada? We should all be outraged.

[rupi kaur @rupikaur_]

twitter just banned countless media & activist accounts from india.

on the same day as a vast internet shutdown & heavy police barricading at the protest sites!

@twitter needs to release a statement explaining why & intl press must cover this immediately.

this is terrifying.

[rupi kaur @rupikaur_]

shoutouts to all the dalits. muslims. punjabis. and sikhs raising their voices. so much love to all the groups and individuals who have forever called out the indian government’s criminalities. the people united will never be defeated ✊🏽
