Hypocrisy @SenatorMenendez! You supported & named the Lautenberg Amendment giving fast-track asylum to only Jews and Evang. Christians from certain countries. Now you condemn India for fast-tracking persecuted Hindus #CAA. Perplexing double-standard.(1/n)

menendez.senate.gov/news-and-event…
@SenatorMenendez #CAA: fast-tracks only those persecuted minorities in India as of 2014.
Lautenberg: Not only indefinite, but added Iranian Jews, Christian, Bahai (excluding Muslims). Why not Iranian Sunnis? Zoroastrians?

Is Lautenberg anti-Muslim, as you deem #CAA?

menendez.senate.gov/news-and-event…
@SenatorMenendez What about #atheists or ex-Muslims? Didn't they deserve LA protection? #CAA would be improved with neutral language hafsite.org/india-citizens…. LA too. @SenatorMenendez's targeting India is ill-informed. A million #IndianAmericans in New Jersey deserve better and will take note.

A disgraceful piece, and illustrates so much about popular #Hinduphobia in the media that @HinduAmerican highlights daily. Let's count the ways: 1) Ostensibly document recent events in #Kashmir, but completely erase #kashmiripandits. Not a single mention. None. (thread)
@HinduAmerican 2)Tie revocation of Art 370 to the tired, overused media narratives of Gujarat/Godhra, hagiography of @RanaAyyub, Ram temple, RSS, etc, without a single bit of original reporting. Could just read the annual (discredited) @USCIRF report instead. Goal is to make 370 about Islam (2)
@HinduAmerican @RanaAyyub @USCIRF 3)No context that the revocation of 370 is about equal protection, one law for all Indians, that those pushing for "self-determination" are pushing for a theocratic state. Dexter Filkins reported extensively on #ISIS in Iraq, but ignores #ISIS flags being unfurled in Kashmir. (3)

Seeing a lot of anxiety over the @TLHumanRights hearing tomorrow. Few things to keep in mind (thread):

1) A commission hearing is not nearly as significant nor newsworthy as the @HouseForeign hearing in which @AartiTikoo participated.
@TLHumanRights @HouseForeign @AartiTikoo 2) Like UNHRC, @TLHumanRights is known to push agendas of co-chairs. Credibility is a big ?mark. @HinduAmerican called this out before hafsite.org/whats-new/us-c… (2)
@TLHumanRights @HouseForeign @AartiTikoo @HinduAmerican 3) True to its history of bias, the @TLHumanRights hearing tomorrow features well known anti-India activists such as Arjun Sethi, and this time a Kashmiri lawyer who works for a Muslim law group, but not a single #KashmiriPandit. (3)

Whenever @narendramodi comes to town, Hindus like @tulsigabbard and Hindu orgs come under attack by activists trying to connect them to Hindu nationalism. @mehdihasan takes it further by connecting them to a mass murderer. This is wrong. This is tiring. This is Hinduphobia. 1/5
@mehdihasan claims Anders Breivik was motivated to kill by Hindu nationalism. Breivik repudiates Hindu nationalism in failing to take to the streets. He never even mentions the RSS. But Breivik mentions Christianity over 2,000x, Bible more than 300x, Zionism/Jews 300x.2/5
Would @mehdihasan point to Islamic scripture or Muslim advocates as responsible for ISIS or 9/11 since OBL used them to justify his attack? He wouldn't, because it would be wrong. But Hindus are uniquely acceptable to be targeted thus? 3/5

#India has lost $7 billion #WTO case against US. Meanwhile #China has won its case with WTO allowing the Chinese to impose a $3.6 billion sanction on American goods. The verdict comes days after India US officially suspended defense cooperation. #TradeWar greatgameindia.com/india-loses-7-…
The #WTO verdict against India in favor of US in a $7 billion case comes days after India and US officially suspended defense cooperation in what is now giving rise to a full-fledged India-US #TradeWar.

The #WTO case was filed in March 2018 by the U.S., challenging what it said were illegal export subsidies provided to #Indian firms. The decision, which can be appealed, comes amid a now full-fledged  India US #TradeWar.

Thread: After New Delhi’s CDS call, #India and #France to focus on interoperability between forces - France already has the post of CDS and the appointment of an Indian counterpart will make coordination easier. 👍economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/a…
India & France have decided to ensure interoperability between the 3 branches of their armed forces for better coordination in the Indo-Pacific region & for fighting terrorism, a task made smoother by PM Modi’s recent announcement of appointing a chief of defence staff (CDS).
France already has the post of CDS & the appointment of an Indian counterpart will make coordination easier, said people aware of the matter. They said the growing partnership between the armed forces of the 2 countries made it imperative to have the element of interoperability.

2. No definitions! Draft clearly not ready for legislation (1/n)
Part 2 - Understand the policy process

1. Draft doesnt = ban, until it clears Finance Minister & Parliament vote.

2. Public consultation NOT mandatory. Ask for it.

3. WRITE (>tweet) to folks mentioned in the vid

#India #Crypto #ban #regulation (2/n)

Esp intl folks @PeterMcCormack

- Crypto must solve the right probs from a govts perspective

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

#India can't ban #bitcoin. Bitcoin will happily and easily move underground and the resulting premium will draw in more.
Countries will eventually get it, trying to ban bitcoin incentivizes civil disobedience.
It's also interesting that the two gold loving countries of China and India fight bitcoin so much.

Will they be on the wrong side of a monetary shift once again?
