Wrote about the menstrual hygiene crisis in Europe's largest refugee camp, Moria. The women deserve to live with dignity and the dire situation, made worse by gender-based violence, makes it impossible.

Thankful to @womensmediacntr and @FrancesNguyen!

@LGIndia my grandparents in Mumbai have complained about their fridge for 15 days without any resolution. Technicians came initially and changed parts costing 10k but the problem remains. Now no one is responding from the company despite frequent calls. Can someone resolve this?

[Sameeksha Khare @sameekshakh]

@Delta Hi Summer, thanks for your reply. I've texted in the DMs but only getting automated responses.

[Sameeksha Khare @sameekshakh]

.@Delta It's been 3 days that I've been trying to change my DEL-IAD flight. An error pops up every time in doing so online and your customer service is elusive on call. The option to message customer care is not working since I'm currently in India. How can we resolve this?

@nisha_p43 @LATAM_PER I couldn't find it. I just translated it on google translate app. It says the airport is closed today (till 00:00 on 20th November) and will open tomorrow.

[Sameeksha Khare @sameekshakh]

@nisha_p43 @LATAM_PER No worries, found info on the airport partner's account. Thanks!

@nisha_p43 @LATAM_PER Hey! Do you know if the airport is closed all day today?
Our JetSmart flights for today got cancelled twice, but the airlines representative doesn't know when the airport will open again.
Thanks!

open calls for genocide doesn’t fall under the ambit of UAPA. it’s only reserved for activists, journalists, students and comics

“More people have received a Covid booster vaccination in the UK per head of population than are reported to have had their first shot in Africa”

Forget vaccine equity; these boosters are only to do with rich nations boosting pharma pockets.

Antibiotics are not necessary and do not help in most cases of #COVID19 . Abuse of antibiotics will lead to #AMR - which is increasing especially in developing countries

Children have been dying of encephalitis because of lack of oxygen for decades - we didn’t need to wait for COVID to start scrambling for oxygen plants

“Worse than what I saw during the Bhopal gas tragedy,” says the man who captured the now viral top view image of dozens of pyres in Bhopal, disputing govt’s official Covid death toll numbers.

For the first time, the total detected COVID-19 cases has crossed 1,00,000 in a day in India: 1,02,996 cases so far, by my count. (And with #Jharkhand's data still yet to come in)

The minor #Rohingya girl (14yo) who is to be deported back to Myanmar from India today is currently at the Indo-Myanmar border with police officials. She has been there for the last 5-6 hours. None of her relatives nor her parents will be there to recieve her. @PillaiPriy

If you paid $14.99 a month for a Zoom Pro membership, you paid more to Zoom than it paid in federal income taxes even as it made $660 million in profits last year – a 4,000 percent increase since 2019. Yes. It's time to end a rigged tax code that benefits the wealthy & powerful.

Here's why I think nothing will happen to Kapil Mishra after that story.

The official handle of the Hindu Ecosystem (37K followers) has QT'ed my tweet to ask more people to join. Such confidence can only be displayed if they know nothing will happen to them.

Zilch.

In a city with a Komal Sharma caught on camera wielding a weapon, they choose to arrest Disha Ravi - from another city - for rallying attention for the farmers.

Why do we pay your salaries, Delhi Police?

Scores of Indian parents watching this must be telling their children to keep their heads low, not care for social causes, focus on their careers

Update: Bail application of #MunawarFaruqui 's friend Sadakat Khan arrested a day after Munawar, REJECTED today by Indore Sessions Court. Remember, he is not even an accused in the FIR. This is how he was abused, assaulted. @Article14live

SCOOP: For more than two years, a group of Indian activists has been behind bars for plotting to overthrow the government. Now a report by a US digital forensics firm concludes key evidence was planted. @nihamasih and I report: https://t.co/XbvlJmTxcm

@gauravsabnis Sadly, they (the Columbia gang, as you call them) are still very much crushing dissent and acting against progressive South Asian students at Columbia.
