riyasahashah on bsky

Been on bsky for awhile, but officially putting you all on notice that you can find me there now that this place is no longer brings me joy....or truth. bsky.app/profile/riyasa…

She and others said they know Trump supporters in their Indian American and South Asian communities. "I don't know how sizable it is, but it is there," Saha said.

One first-time canvasser in Canton was Manju Saha, 73, of Troy, who was with her daughter, Kuhu Saha, 38, of Detroit. Manju said Harris' Indian heritage was not a major factor in her political activity. "It's because of her values. And because the alternative is very scary,"

Some of the best doing the good work in Michigan. @kuhusaha @palakbsheth

This piece is so lovely in how it honors Bob’s life work. And maybe also because of the gift of many photos at which Bob would have rolled his eyes. ❤️👀

A beautiful piece on Bob’s legacy by @JKwhut of @TheImprintNews: imprintnews.org/youth-services…

I am endlessly grateful to Bob for his belief in me, his mentorship, his terrible jokes, and his warm heart. I have lots more to say but it won’t be as beautiful as this love letter to the man he was from his bestie and co-founder @marshalevick

We knew you were a genius when we met you @JasonReynolds83

Congratulations to this literal genius. Inspired and amazed by you, @DorothyERoberts!

This devastating piece by @lizziepresser highlights the many systemic failures that led to Maylia's prosecution as an adult in a criminal system that is no place for kids.

Happy to celebrate with our suite mates @edlawcenterpa at their annual event!

Last night @riya joined @theCFSY for their annual event to celebrate. We appreciate their vision and leadership including our board member Abd’Allah Lateef.

Great @nytopinion essay articulating how criminalization is used a proxy for doing something about guns. "The anger is righteous. But we can’t prosecute our way out of this mess." nytimes.com/2024/09/06/opi…

Excellent @MarshallProj piece on why we call it family policing-the perfect storm of false positive drug tests of pregnant people and mandated reporting laws tearing families apart aparthttps://www.themarshallproject.org/2024/09/09/drug-test-pregnancy-pennsylvania-california

This was a golden opportunity to show empathy to people in deep pain because their family is suffering torture, famine, displacement, & genocide. They don’t want Trump to win. They want the suffering to stop. Don’t push them away. Invite them in. She should remedy this asap.

You're hearing a lot about Tim Walz and free school lunches. You're not hearing enough about the behind-the-scenes role of Philando Castile's mom in getting that bill passed. sahanjournal.com/education/free…

In ALL MY YEARS I have never seen them do the thing that is obviously the smart and exciting thing but which is also not the most careful thing designed to please the strategists and numbers guys.

Tim Walz was one of the first politicians to call for an immediate ceasefire & release of all hostages. And when asked about the Uncommitted Movement, did NOT condemn them or demonize them. Instead, he said "they're civically engaged & should be listened to." Now he'll be VP.✊🏽

Thank you @SilkyRiiich for lifting up our work! I'm halfway through season 2 and loving it!
