Hi all, yesterday morning, I got multiple calls asking for my price due to someone publishing my number in a WhatsApp group stating that I am a prostitute. The following is how I handled it, I’m sharing this to show any woman facing the same, that this is how to take control. -
Government of Tamil Nadu has notified a prescriptive glossary of terms concerning LGBTQIA+ persons in English and Tamil, after consultations & court orders.
It is expected that media use these terms and do away with pejorative and degrading vocabulary against LGBTQIA+ community.
Gotabaya is set to depart from VIA to Singapore this evening after confirming asylum - an official reporting to gaafu said that his departure will be through flight no: SQ437. @NewsfirstSL@SriLankaTweet@Dailymirror_SL
I unite myself to the sorrow of the people of Sri Lanka who continue to suffer the effects of political and economic instability. Together with the country's Bishops, I renew my appeal for peace and I implore those who have authority not to ignore the cry of the poor.
WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT!!
This clearly shows that the shooting at the President residence aimed at protesters were when that guy was shot.
Casualties were caused. We need to know this poor guy’s name!
Thank you to Isuru Mudiyanse for these amazing images. Seeing them being shared around a lot - please do credit him. #lka#SriLanka#GoHomeGota

This is such a great photo. But captures only 1/3 of the number of people there, if anything. Wish there was footage that showed more of the incredible incredible crowds - there, and walking in.
“OPEN TO THE PUBLIC”
Temple Trees, the official residence of the Prime Minister now spray painted with the phrase OPEN TO THE PUBLIC by protesters.

This right here is the only evidence you need to know that people who claimed the Secretariat, President’s residence, and Temple Trees weren’t the ones setting things on fire.
Protestors play the president’s popular campaign song වැඩ කරන අපේ විරුවා (The war hero that works) in an ironic send off to @GotabayaR. What talent at display… superb playing 👍🏽

Sorry to break it to you guys, but no one has actually stepped down. They just held the line long enough for it to spiral into violence. Tomorrow and the day after the witchhunt will begin, propped up by a 'need for political stability' that will come from staying in power.
To ensure the continuation of the Government including the safety of all citizens I accept the best recommendation of the Party Leaders today, to make way for an All-Party Government.
To facilitate this I will resign as Prime Minister.
