My non-validated analysis gleaned over chai of Indian American vote on Super Tuesday & why it favored @JoeBiden:

IA population matters:
CA: 528K TX: 245K VA:103K MA: 77K NC: 57K
Pew estimate: 60% are citizens 80% Dems. ↑↑ turnout.

Huge consolidation for Biden. Why? (Thread)
1. Socialist rhetoric is a non-starter. Indian Americans (IA) left India for a reason & socialist politicians are comic foil there today.

2. Bernie was 1st politician to slam India for fully integrating Kashimr (an enormously popular/emotional issue for IA's). Disastrous move!
Bernie's Congressional proxies are incredibly unpopular among IA's:

1)@PramilaJayapal sponsored anti-India #HRes745-slamming India on Kashmir ignoring #KashmiriPandits
2)@IlhanMN targeted @AartiTikoo during @HouseForeign panel. Her sneering tweets against #CAA, Modi, etc.
3) @RoKhanna subtweeted to embarrass @TulsiGabbard (huge no-no for IA's. Tulsi is enormously popular).

4) @BernieSanders stepped in it again last week with tweet blaming Hindus only for #DelhiRiots.

This video on #Kashmir made the rounds of WhatsApp last night--not good
Now @BernieSanders supporters are targeting a Hindu IA @JoeBiden staffer. Why? Because he attended a @narendramodi event in the US--just like 75,000 others like me. This McCarthyesque targeting of #HinduAmericans is in vogue among Bernie bros.

A bad look, Bernie. (end)

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)

It's time for the #NC #Redistricting round up!🤠

In recent weeks, the NC legislature has redrawn NC’s voting district maps for:

✴️NC House (final)

✴️NC Senate (final)

✴️US House (subject to court challenge)

#NCGA #NCPol #gerrymandering #FairMaps 1/
How did we get here?

Usually, #Redistricting happens every 10 years as part of reapportionment to adjust voting districts due to population changes.

Each state draws its own district lines. In #NC, the state legislature draws the maps & Governor cannot veto. 2/
Since 2011, #NC's voting district maps have been repeatedly struck down for #Gerrymandering, which is intentionally manipulating voting maps to create an advantage for a political party or group.

Thread: #Indian Army to debut its Mountain Strike Corps next month at HimVijay exercise in Arunachal - The exercise will be held at over 10,000 ft next month & will see for the first time Army's integrated battle groups that are self-sufficient agile units theprint.in/defence/army-t…
Over 15,000 soldiers backed by tanks, medium artillery, helicopters and transport aircraft will be part of the Mountain Strike Corps’ maiden exercise, ‘HimVijay’, at over 10,000 feet in Arunachal Pradesh next month.
The exercise will be held away from the Line of Actual Control with China. It will coincide with the visit of President Xi Jinping next month. The exercise assumes greater significance because the Army will for the first time see in action its integrated battle groups (IBGs).

#India escalates tensions☢️ in #Kashmir; claims terror threat but offers no evidence. #NewDelhi is:
➡️Thumbing nose at #US Pres #Trump who twice in 2weeks called for end to K conflict
➡️Scuttling #USPakistan process in #Afghanistan
➡️Hiding #Modi home mess
To show contempt to President #Trump & the #US, #India has released a rapist, relative of ex-mayor of #NewDelhi, who raped a #US woman.
The #US is a big reason for #India's escalation against #Kashmir & #Pakistan.
➡️Ind is angry at #Trump ending #Indian abuse of #American visas; trade tariffs
➡️Ind is angry at #USPakistan coop in #Afghanistan, statements on K
➡️Ind & #Iran lobbies in DC are coop'ing against Trump

@GovAbbott & @realDonaldTrump please allow the @USDOL to extend unemployment in #TX for those Federal Employees who are ON THE JOB without pay. In #TX this includes @TSA Officers, #AirTrafficControllers, @USCG members, @NWS Employees, and MANY more who protect life & property.(1)
Since the weather is my expertise I will focus there. am an elected official and life-long @GOP member and I support the border wall and improved border security 100%! There is a way to allow states to help those Federal Workers who are STILL ON THE JOB but not getting paid.(2)
@potus @realDonaldTrump These dedicated Federal Employees including those at the @nws protect the life and property of the people of the state of Texas 24/7. They are caught in this @SpeakerPelosi / @SenSchumer shut-down over border security they have voted for in the past!(3)
