India’s gov't has been accused of ‘rewriting history’ as key historical and scientific facts, including India’s Muslim past and Darwin’s theory of evolution, have been removed from many school textbooks 👇

@JessicaFaieta @WorldFellows @JacksonYale It was an amazing time. Thanks for all support Jessica!

BREAKING: The PR firm hired by Egypt for COP27 is none other than Hill+Knowlton, who worked with Big Tobacco and currently runs the “Oil & Gas Climate Initiative,” an industry front group.

This is as dirty as it gets. https://t.co/xT9oyFM0pL

The support of long-term investors in our recent $124M fundraise doesn’t just give us momentum toward our goals, it reaffirms the importance of our mission to help build a more #sustainable food system. @FlagshipPioneer Read the full announcement: https://t.co/Dt9RsTSlnq

This brutality is so unjust

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

This video is said to show police in India flogging several Muslim men accused of pelting stones at a Hindu festival dance event, or garba.

In some areas, Muslims have reportedly been banned from the dances or attacked for trying to attend.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

When Republicans were in control, they gave giant corporations trillions of dollars in tax cuts.

Now, they're doing everything they can to stop President Biden from cancelling student debt for the people who need it the most.

It's crystal clear who Republicans want to help.

[kyriacos koupparis @koupparisk]

I fully support student debt relief especially when targeted to lower income families.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Tens of millions of middle-class Americans will have more breathing room thanks to President Biden’s historic decision to cancel student debt. It’s the right thing to do.

Register to vote! Elections less than 2 months away!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

If you give me two more Democratic senators, and Democrats keep the House, I promise you we will codify Roe v. Wade.

We will once again make Roe the law of the land.

We will once again protect a woman’s right to choose.

And they refused to call a manager to help address the fact I was being denied boarding even though I was standing right at the gate with a boarding pass! This is UNACCEPTABLE and the worst service from an airline. I am never flying @AirCanada again!

[kyriacos koupparis @koupparisk]

I was denied boarding today on an @AirCanada flight from Rome to Montreal because the poorly trained ground staff insisted I needed an electronic travel authorization, which i did not have because as a US citizen I do not require one. They promptly gave my seat away!!!
