It is good to see @IlhanMN back home in Minnesota, happy, playing and doing what she does best: existing and in so doing, driving racist shits over the edge h/t @mollyhc
Driving racist, misogynist and Islamophobic shits over the edge!
I feel a thread of @ilhanmn happy, existing and driving racist, misogynist and Islamophobic shits over the edge is a great way to celebrate her. This is from when she took part in #Pride on June 24
And this is pure joy: here is @IlhanMN celebrating the 35th anniversary of Purple Rain h/t @SusanWatt20
I wrote this in 2018 about the importance of @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib election google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…
And my new book includes more analysis of the importance of the newly elected congresswomen of colour. It’s out Sept. 17 via @BeaconPressBks and you can pre-order 👇🏽

Love and solidarity with @mashrou3leila. This is utterly ridiculous: #Lebanese church demands cancellation of Mashrou' Leila show. The band are such a great representative of Lebanese artists and they have performed many times already in their country. reut.rs/2LBdlPG
#Lebanese authorities must protect @mashrou3leila from a mounting hate campaign and ensure the band, known for songs tackling social issues in Arab societies such as homophobia, patriarchy & corruption, are able to perform in safety and security. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
On July 12, it was such a thrill to see @mashrou3leila and author @rabihalameddine perform as part of Oliver Beer’s Vessel Orchestra at @Met_Breuer. They make #Lebanon proud and should be celebrated, not subjected to hate.

Pic & article about 2 #Indian lawyers who successfully fought to decriminalize same-sex relations & have themselves come out as a couple is hugely popular & a reminder that gender & sexual fluidity not exclusively white/western. This also an important read ilgrandecolibri.com/en/islamic-mid…
And if you can access academic journals: Medieval Arab Lesbians and Lesbian-Like Women by Sahar Amer

“This article provides a brief historic survey of evidence regarding love between women in Islamic societies... One inspiring description by 12th C writer Sharif al-Idrisi of what is framed as a lesbian orientation...is worth quoting” alpennia.com/lhmp/lesbian-h… #LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈

Two lawyers who successfully fought to end #India’s colonial-era laws that criminalized same-sex relations have come out as a couple. Sending love and solidarity to @MenakaGuruswamy and @arundhatikatju news18.com/amp/news/buzz/… h/t @_drongo #LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈🌈
"For queer folk in all post-colonial countries, the governments have to understand that these (anti-sodomy) were not our laws," @MenakaGuruswamy told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. Photo via @arundhatikatju
To clarify origins of homophobia imposed by colonial-era laws in #India and elsewhere, included this in my new book: “India’s fluid gender and sexual norms did not fit into Britain’s strict Victorian conceptions of appropriate sexual behavior,” Amy Bhatt google.com/amp/s/theconve…

#JhelumFables , a 5 day visual storytelling workshop which I am conducting with youth in #Kashmir kicked off today. There couldn't have been a better classroom than the picturesque houseboat ROOTS situated on river Jhelum.

P.S: The best way to spend holidays in company of ✏️📸
#JHELUMFABLES
On day two of the visual storytelling workshop I interacted with each participant. We did small excercises to enhance imagination. Later they chose quaint corners of Roots houseboat situated on river #Jhelum & scribbled stories in company of wood & water. #Kashmir
Light experiments inside classroom on day 3 of #JhelumFables
A chair placed on the wooden Verandah of the houseboat facing west became a prop for portrait shooting- as participants tried side lighting & back lighting before venturing out on the river banks with their camera & pen

Today in everyday #racism my family and I are at @FairfieldHotels and the front desk clerk asked for a second person's ID since mine is expired. Ok fine. My daughter who is 21 gives hers. Mind you the rooms are registered to her and I.
She states "I see you have a driver what about his ID" referring to my fiance.
Mind you the only white person on the trip.
Kayla presents her ID. She takes it then says "oh I need a driver's license" to which I said
"What if I didn't have a DL then what?"
She then gave us our keys and checked us in.
At that time we requested a 3rd room. They didn't have one. She knew we had 7 ppl in 2 king rooms.

💥PLANNED PARENTHOOD’s disgusting curriculum

💥Thx Rep Lucero for TRYING to be a voice of reason

💥The kicker... they photocopied pgs for ea. Perv member but hid them in envelopes because the content is so disgusting
1 of 3
Part 2.... you can bet if this stands.. it will only be a matter of time before every single state tries to implement the same curriculum
Part 3. EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted for this perversion... and I want to call out the three republicans who also voted for it...
Rep Dean Urdahl
Rep Greg Davids
Rep Tony Jurgens

SHAME ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HORRIBLE, SICK PERVERTED PEOPLE.

In the lead-up to Madagascar’s 2018 Presidential elections, teams of Russian 'tourists' and 'observers' were spotted on the island.

Who were these Russians? What were they doing in the country? And who was backing them?

#BBCAfricaEye investigates.
This is Madagascar. A jewel in the Indian Ocean.

It just had a key presidential election.

But there have been rumours of outside influence and suspicion of foreign funding on a large scale.
It all started with the arrival of a group of Russians in March last year, 8 months before the election.

Most stayed in La Residence Ankerana, a secluded hotel in a quiet part of the capital Antananarivo.

Thanks to @turo I'm renting a #TeslaModel3 during my visit to Silicon Valley - certainly a different experience than traditional #carrental agencies #future #zeroemission #electriccars
Gone to Tesla's HQ in Fremont, California to try the supercharging there. It's supposed to be much faster than before.
I had hoped the Model 3 would charge at the new rate but it didn't happen
