@Dr_KaatAza Thank you for this! I actually just posted a question about Amazigh pre-Islamic religious practices. Do you have any suggested reading on this? If you have time / interest, I could definitely give more context about my question!

[Mallory Nischan @Soybeansprout87]

Hi friends! Does anyone have suggested reading on pre-Islamic Amazigh religious practice? I can read English, French, or Spanish. Probably Arabic if I have help finding the exact passage 🙃

BREAKING: 🇲🇦 #Morocco earthquake death toll rises to at least 820 mainly in the rural areas of the #Atlas Mountains. 😞

[Zouhir • ⵣⵓⵀⵉⵔ @oskai_z]

“Amrzgan” town in rural #Atlas mountains (before & after) the earthquake that struck Morocco late Friday night killing at least 1000 people and injuring more than 600.

[Khalid Lyamlahy @khalidlym]

My condolences and heartfelt thoughts to all Moroccans affected by the earthquake. The country is going through a painful ordeal and people are still in a state of shock. The image of this grieving woman stays with me. Thanks to those who have conveyed their support & affection.

@siham_bouamer I feel slightly less ashamed of having one knowing that a respectable French person also has one 😂😂😂 #americanfood

[Mallory Nischan @Soybeansprout87]

@felisa_reynolds @DanMaroun Soooo true!!

[Mallory Nischan @Soybeansprout87]

Casual selfie with @AbdelahTaia and new friends at @20thand21st 🤩What a pleasure to meet an author I love and work on, and to hear him talk so personally about his life and writing. And sharing space with so many amazing scholars whose work has influenced my own. So good!

@DMProvencher Félicitations!!

WHITE HOUSE: “Today’s expulsion of lawmakers who engaged in peaceful protest is shocking.” #TennesseeThree @Justinjpearson @brotherjones_ @VoteGloriaJ

JUSTIN JONES ON DEMOCRACY NOW: “If I didn’t know it happened to me I’d think it was 1963 not 2023… they tried to kick us out, but instead they put a spotlight on themselves.” #TennesseeThree @brotherjones_

[Brad Batt for Tennessee State House @bradbatt]

I want to thank @CSexton25 and the @TNGOP for creating this moment to allow all of America to see front and center, in plain view, how authoritarian this out-of-control gerrymandered supermajority party acts — something those of us in Tennessee have known for a while now #TN3

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

This is spot on, thank you @BarackObama!

[Mallory Nischan @Soybeansprout87]

Yep. I absolutely stand with @VoteGloriaJ but this is exactly what happened.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

REPORTER: “Why were you not expelled but @brotherjones_ was?“

@VoteGloriaJ: "I'll answer your question — it might have to do with the color of our skin."

3 children were murdered in their classrooms a week ago today

Below @brotherjones_ holds up a child’s drawing: “PROTECT 💚KIDS💚 NOT GUNS” next to @Justinjpearson & @VoteGloriaJ

@CSexton25 calls this an “insurrection” and wants to expel them for it

His office # is 615-741-2343

[Mallory Nischan @Soybeansprout87]

Honestly ashamed to live in Tennessee right now (between this and all the anti-lgbtq+ legislation lately).

Breaking News: The Tennessee House voted to expel two Democrats who had led a gun control protest at the Capitol in the wake of the Nashville school shooting. https://t.co/0w1MNIo72y

[Brad Batt for Tennessee State House @bradbatt]

On his way out @brotherjones_ stops and hugs @VoteGloriaJ because he is a man of character, compassion, empathy, and genuine love — everything that the radical @TNGOP who just expelled him is not #TennesseeThree #TN3
