WATCH + CRY. In May @Keys_Gamarra called a black dad "retarded" + gave primary custody to a mom with drug abuse + criminal history. Thanksgiving, an ER doctor found cocaine in the baby. What did Keys-Gamarra do? She had CPS seize the baby TONIGHT from the dad + his parents! @IWN

Thank you to parents like @KIDZRAGIFT who have fought for years in the trenches to hold educrats accountable. They say @GlennYoungkin@VA_Supt have an opportunity now to sweep clean the corrupt bureaucrats @VDOE_News inherited who made the decisions now found unconstitutional.
@Marcel4Congress@CDouglasLove3@nasescobar316@ozprattboxing The debate question was chosen by the organizer @ozprattboxing. I believe it sets up a false binary.

@Marcel4Congress@CDouglasLove3@nasescobar316@ozprattboxing Over the past week, I have received more hate than I have ever gotten in my 53 years in America as an immigrant, most via @tariqnasheed's Foundational Black Americans #FBA disciples, including this one, mocking my name + people from India who "wipes their butts with their hands."
Born in India, I was on an emotional roller coaster today in the Supreme Court, listening to 3 justices + 4 lawyers try to gaslight America on the reality of anti-Asian racism. Fortunately, 4 justices argued fiercely. My bet: 6-2, Harvard loses. 6-3 UNC loses. America wins 💯 🇺🇸
Here are some portraits of my friends, many of whom have overcome cultural fears over challenging authority to speak truth to power and fight for social justice. They inspire me! Meet @ycinnewyork, NYC mama bear! Marching 10/30 for justice!
In 1979, Khomeini seized power by using cassette tapes to foment a revolution with fiery sermons. In 2022, Iran’s TikTok generation defeat the tyranny of the mullahs by winning the gif wars.
🧶with gifs that show the revolution has penetrated into mainstream consciousness.
This is @AlinejadMasih. The government of Iran wants to kill her but she is immortalized here in just one example of her beautiful, righteous rage.
The government of Iran would like to erase the memory of #Mahsa_Amini but she too is immortalized in death as a symbol of innocence extinguished, her image carried now by others who are her voice on earth.
🖤 @khamenei_ir security forces murdered #AsraPanahi when she + other girls at a high school in Ardabil refused to join a pro-regime rally and instead chanted: “Woman, Life, Freedom.” She had my name. In her honor, I change my profile to her picture so you will know her name❣️
