One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling a woman what to do with their own body.

I flew to space four times over the course of a decade and I’ve seen the effects of climate change on our planet first hand.

There is no planet B. This remarkable and fragile place is our only home and it’s our job to protect it for generations to come. #EarthDay

It's not everyday that you get to write about your own community. India's Supreme Court begins hearing a case for marriage equality, a significant step for LGBTQI+ rights in the country.

The following comment regarding the Texas court decision is attributable to the FDA or an FDA spokesperson:

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

The Texas MAGA federal judge banned Mifepristone because “FDA didn’t properly review its health risks” which is reportedly ~14 annual deaths.

Well, guess what, Viagra has ~200 annual reported deaths.

So…when do MAGAs ban Viagra??🤔

[Oranous @oranouskoofi25]

The moderator @lisapatelphd asked questions about the idea behind the photo collection of @AaaghaNegar. Other two Afghan students were also in the panel discussion Masooma Ibrahimi and @oranouskoofi25, that’s me.. ☺️
