My column on Lauren Sánchez and Katy Perry’s space flight with the girlz theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@shdeen @WajahatAli So, in that regard, speaking out, marching, advocating, campaigning… seem rather tame.

@shdeen @WajahatAli I, as a white looking woman, encounter sexism almost daily but I only experienced racism twice. Let me tell you, my behavior changed after less than a week of this treatment. This made me understand why people would become bombers.

More Jewish American Columbia Alums need to speak out against this Alumni Association's support for the detention and deportation of a legal resident. Disagree with him? Fine. But to deport him just because you disagree with his political views? Do you all understand how dangerous this is for America?

@shdeen @WajahatAli Reading your answer though, I realize I need to clarify certain points: I’m a European and from an educational POV that counts a lot. I went out of high school with a pretty good understanding of history, geography and geopolitics.

@shdeen @WajahatAli Then, I suppose he said it better than I would. They are a colonized people without hope or options. What would you do if you were in their shoes? I’m not saying that to be antagonistic. I have interfaith friendships and I won’t ever minimize the plight of the Jewish people.

@AlixForestier @WajahatAli They shouldn’t.

@AbujomaaGaza People are leaving X in droves. Possibly moving to Bluesky… For obvious reasons.

I have lost hundreds of followers since yesterday😥 Can anyone help me know what is happening?

@shdeen @WajahatAli Shulem, I read your truly beautiful and inspiring memoir, so let me sincerely ask you: Why should a people who suffered intense persecution for centuries be given the right to, in turn, persecute another people?

@WajahatAli This sudden fervor for free speech feels very selective. Would you feel the same way if he were a neo-Nazi celebrating violence against people of color?
