#Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has stepped down and consultations are under way to set up a transitional council to run the country, government sources and a provincial minister said on Thursday. google.com/amp/s/mobile.r… #SudanUprising
“#Sudanese sources said the army will likely announce a transition of power from Bashir to a council headed by military figures to end Bashir's 30yrs in power.“ google.com/amp/s/mobile.r…
Since the weekend, thousands of demonstrators began camping out outside the Defence Ministry compound in central Khartoum, where Bashir's residence is located. #SudanUprising
Protests in #Sudan began on Dec. 19, initially sparked by the government's attempt to raise the price of bread, and an economic crisis that has led to fuel and cash shortages. They turned into protests against the 30 years in power of the regime led by Bashir. #SudanUprising

- Say her name: Representative @IlhanMN.
- Say that the president is endangering the life of a representative of the Democratic Party, which you ostensibly lead.
- This is spineless and a reminder of why I’m a registered Independent.
I understood long ago that I was way to the left of the Democratic Party so when I became a US citizen and was eligible to vote, I registered as an Independent. I also understood that if the GOP are overtly Islamophobic, the Dems are not guiltless.
As recently as 2016 election, at DNC, the Muslims on stage were the parents of an American Muslim who died fighting for the US in Iraq. Dems pretend not to be Islamophobic by playing the “Muslims serve in our armed forces and the police” card. Fuck that.

(cw: rape) Rape laws in #Europe are outrageous. This case in #Italy - a woman said 3 men raped her in a train station elevator - is similar to La Manada case - a woman said 5 men raped her. The women were not believed because they didn’t fight back/resist bbc.com/news/world-eur…
Only 8 out of 31 #European countries have laws saying sex without consent is rape. Watch this important @amnesty video
European rape laws are “dangerous and outdated.” Only 8 out of 31 #European countries have laws saying sex without consent is rape.

“In America, the tattooing industry has often been presented as a blue collar, old boys club. But thankfully, the industry has undergone some pretty serious shifts in recent years. More femmes and queer folk are visibly taking up space.” manrepeller.com/2019/03/women-…
“Most of my clients are actually Black women and every time I tattoo them, they’re like, “Oh I’ve been looking for you for so long.” Not me specifically, but a Black woman that they felt comfortable trusting their body with,” Doreen Garner
“I actually did this trauma counseling training to be on a crisis hotline, and I was like...this is teaching me so much about how to tattoo” Tamara Santibañez. “I tattoo mostly POC or women, queer people, undocumented people. So dealing w/trauma is a really big part of what I do”

Over the last week, protests have erupted across #Sudan, with NISS intelligence service stations being burnt and reports of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) defending protestors in some locations. This is a developing thread for remotely monitoring the situation, h/t @trevorsnapp.
In Atbara, for example, protesters have set fire to the headquarters of ruling the National Congress Party, led by President Omar al-Bashir. There's plenty of visual evidence of the unrest, such as this video. Geolocation: 17.694190, 34.001319 (google.com/maps/place/17%…).
The NCP headquarters suffered heavy damage from the protests on 19 Dec 2018, as this photo shows (h/t @wasilalitaha). Second image shows the building in a better state, via their Facebook page.
