At least three of the California governor’s wine companies are held by SVB, and a bank president sits on the board of his wife’s charity.

SVB is Ro’s super rich liberal district. He needs these donors for his prospective senate run.

Dataset sent to Twitter’s Trust & Safety team by the Atlantic Council’s DFRLab. TheDFRLab alleged that those handles belonged to “Hindu nationalists” and “paid employees or possibly volunteers” of India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"[Lord] Macaulay traveled from Madras to Ooty to meet Governor-General Bentick--a distance of 400 miles--on the shoulders of Indian men, and then back: Twelve bearers--six at a time--carried his palanquin down to Madras, as he reclined and read Theodore Hook's Love and Pride" Image
"[Lord Thomas Babington] Macaulay was a brilliant mind, who had already written, at the age of eight, a convincing essay on the desirability of converting heathens to Christianity."
From #TheRulersGaze by Prof. @aravindasharma
The native scholars, with hardly one exception, “have displayed a far greater respect for truth and and a far more manly and generous spirit than we are accustomed to even in Europe and America.”
~ F. Max Muller as quoted by @aravindasharma in #TheRulersGaze.
