There is a mass disenfranchisement happening in India, state by state voter rolls are being purged. While sure there are some correct removals, the scale means a huge ammount of real people loosing their vote.
ScrollAbout 33 lakh names were removed in #Haryana and nearly 45 lakh in #AndhraPradesh after the enumeration phase. In both states, the claims and objections of voters against their removal from the draft list will be heard between July 31 and August 30. scroll.in/latest/10947... #SIR

Xun-ling Au 歐迅灵 🏴People that only mention Myanmar to try to dunk on / undermine those raising awareness for what's happening in Gaza, are not acting in good faith at all. There are plenty of people who talk about both the what's happening to Palestinians & what's happening in Myanmar.

Christopher WebbJust wondering, where all the “say it’s a genocide” folks have been when it comes to Sudan and Myanmar?
"this data reveals a deliberate pattern: in addition to systematically weaponizing internet blackouts to blind the world & massacring civilians, the junta has inflicted violence against women while attempting to hijack the WPS narrative at ASEAN-sponsored forums to manufacture political legitimacy"
Progressive VoiceASEAN's #WPS agenda cannot succeed while #Myanmar junta continues to weaponize sexual violence & target women w/ impunity. 🚨 Myanmar's women are leading democracy fight—they need action, not empty rhetoric. ✅ #ASEAN must stop shielding the junta. https://bit.ly/44OvrEl

Every candle, paper crane, bunch of flowers, every graffiti, every slightly wrong translation, every umbrella, rain coat, every time there are too many police at a place on a day... those things show Hong kong isnt dead, That there that is someone who remembers & indeed many people who persist🖐☝️
YTSLLook, Hong Kong has a lot of repression. But there really seem to be way too many people out there who are overly eager to pronounce the city, this cultural institution or that aspect of Hong Kong to be DEAD. (I think I better log off before my blood pressure rises further. Good night!)
I am as always grateful to Tyrell for these translations of Get's letters from prison & the care put in, not just to the translation but the surrounding background & commentary. This letter on the origins, inbalances & flaws in Thailand’s "Democracy" is well worth a read. #FreeOurFriends
tyrell haberkornGet Sophon, a Thai political prisoner, asks, "When we try to speak out to demand fairness, they do not merely refuse to listen to us. They attempt to suppress and lock us up in the name of security. For whom is such security? At present, for whom do the government and state agencies work?"
