Brown Woman's Burden

interpreter of fallacies

[Brown Woman's Burden @skishan11]

The hands

Confined

To pull Dead carcasses,

Started to write

And, and

They wrote poems

Beautiful stories

Of their lives.

Gulnaz Khatun, a 20 year old young Muslim girl was brutally murdered by two men for resisting molestation attempts. It has been 15 days but no arrests have been made. Join the twitter storm tomorrow demanding Justice for Gulnaz. #JusticeForGulnaz

Resistance, organizing, protests and struggle have done much more for social movements than the Supreme Court ever has. A vacancy is concerning, alarming even, surely. But history teaches us to resist, not defer to courts

Reading @Isabelwilkerson’s Caste was an education in the racial heiarchy of the US. Her lucid writing & brilliance shines so powerfully that I often had to stop just to catch my breath.

But the book largely overlooks the current impact of a system that inspires its argument.

Seeing images of Biko's lifeless body on the TL so let me just do a cleanse. I'll start with this image supplied by historian and librarian Mwelela Cele from his family archive for New Frame. This was taken in 1969 at a birthday party.

On #TeachersDay2020 reposting my podcast with @historic_ly. I discuss the establishment of *1st girls school* by Indians in 1848. The role of #savitribaiphule & #jotiraophule in starting the schools & initiating social transformation.

I really hate how suicide prevention month every year is reduced to “check on your friends” and not universal health care, to defund the police, accessible mental health services, and peer support programs. That analysis is so corny.

The character Don Cheadle played in the movie "Hotel Rwanda" was arrested by Rwandan authorities.

Paul Rusesabagina, who has been a vocal critic of the Rwandan government, has been accused of terrorism.

They put hoods on many of the incarcerated at Abu Ghraib, Bagram; in Guantanamo. The US officials/soldiers who did this did it to instill fear, assert their own primacy, humiliate the inmates and utterly dehumanize them while they received additional forms of torture.

It’s not lost on me the way the internet bullied Chadwick Boseman the last two years about his appearance, him looking tired, etc to the point where he began deleting photos while he was fighting for his life. You truly never know what people are going through. BE KIND.

Karachi has completely drowned. What we’re witnessing is the complete destruction of a beautiful city - a city that is also the financial heartbeat of Pakistan. The footage coming out of there is apocalyptic.

Ok so a black queer friend in Jamaica is in serious danger. His family got wind of his queerness, he was physically abused, and had to leave home. He’s currently hiding with a friend of ours. Please share this widely to help me raise $1500 to go toward rent, food, and counseling.

The U.S. Postal Service crisis is hurting people in jails and prisons. You can help by buying stamps and mailing friends inside! #SaveTheUSPS

@SevenDeviled HARD Agree!!

[Jinee Lokaneeta @LokaneetaJinee]

Glad to see @nytimes cover police brutality & custodial deaths in India especially the Jeyaraj & Bennix case; Dubey encounter. Would add 2 contexts for impunity for torture extraordinary laws in terror cases & Kashmir @gettleman @sameeryasir

@BloomsburyIndia is releasing a book on the Delhi Riots 2020 --- and guess who the Guest of Honours are:

KAPIL MISHRA, the hate-monger and brain-child of goli maaron saalon ko (shoot the bastards) slogan, who explicitly called for violence against Muslims and Dalits.
