Despite America’s relatively newfound interest in #Ambedkar’s work, it will take another decade for him to become a household name. But this increased fascination with Ambedkar shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Enough is enough. The Democratic establishment must stop using @lsarsour as a pawn in a push to stoke division. She represents everything about the #TeamCori movement: to love humanity unconditionally.

Just now seeing that the Biden campaign issued a vile and dishonest statement against my beloved sister @lsarsour.
Linda is a fierce advocate for justice and freedom, and a leading antiracist and organizer against antisemitism.
The Biden campaign must retract and apologize.

Excited to read this!

Spending Aug w my parents in Blo means we get to watch #indianmatchmaking together. If smoking nuts and embarrassing characters like Preeti Auntie ("pick, 1, 2, 3!") are needed to get the Diaspora and India to talk about caste, colorism and sexism, it's a win. @SmritiMundhra
The little known history of South Asian and African American solidarity. @anirvan amazing to see that #bayareasolidaritysummer is still going strong!
I've been busy revising the BlackDesiSecretHistory.org website to include some of the extra details I included in this Twitter thread.
(The website's also now more mobile-friendly, and includes full alt text. Accessibility is a justice issue, and I should have done this sooner.)
Black leaders are doing America’s homework....again! Also, do all policy papers look as fresh? @Mvmnt4BlkLives

As the leaders of the #StopHateForProfit coalition gear up to meet @Facebook leadership tomorrow, we want to hear what they will do to deal with this problem - not a repackaging of old talking points. But first, let’s take a minute to recap how we got here:
Yasss, have been looking for this lens. Ty @auntylectuals. And bravo on quint-writing
