Sharing this because:

Many teachers on this platform would benefit from this info.

Many nonteachers need to understand that this will be what their teachers'/teacher friends' lives consist of for the next year.

Hey y’all! My friend has to get surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. She could use some donations to help cover costs! If you can donate, please do! If not, please reblog!

DON'T LET THEM REWRITE HISTORY

Trump campaign demands story retractions on tear gas use

Emails sent to news organisations admonish reporting that tear gas was fired at protesters to clear Trump's way.

reblogging because of tumblr's weird link thing so this shows up in the tags

[geckobeef]

People on twitter have talked about it before but please don’t listen to what random people online say about how to handle teargas, read what the CDC says about how to handle exposure

[unthinkingclunk]

The riot medicine PDF going around is really good from what I can tell- all their info directly mirrors this CDC advice, although there's a lot more talking about specifics when treating people in a riot/protest/street setting.

It also very specifically addresses a number of myths regarding teargas treatments in a way I think might be better than the CDC which doesn't really spend any of time on them. In activist circles, there's a lot of beliefs that get passed around and I think it's good to specifically address them.

Here's a link:

See above rb for link to riot medicine.

Reblogging from myself in the hopes of showing up in the notes. Forgot about the weird link thing Tumblr is doing.

If you are outside India, I am practically begging you to reblog this

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

India has already seen too much religious violence, please please signal boost this, call your representatives, make them aware, get them to make statements. The only thing India and its dictator Modi care about is its image abroad

This post is dated December, 2019 so a little update (June, 2020) since I’ve seen it on my dash a lot lately:

Amidst the raging pandemic and our Government’s botched handling of it, GOI has found the time to book student activists under a draconian “anti terrorism” law called the UAPA.

Here’s a brief article about what exactly the UAPA is here. It was written in October last year so it’s before all of this, but it highlights the ways it could be misused, and why it’s a cause for concern.

Here’s another article about the same. Has proved prophetic, because our government NEVER fails to let us down!

Many student activists have been booked under UAPA, like Natasha Narwal and Devangana Kalita. Safoora Zargar, who is pregnant, has been jailed despite concerns about COVID-19 (and this being entirely under an unlawful law).

Here’s a quick twitter thread with the names of other activists booked under UAPA.

[Oh btw, in a completely different story, no charges have been made against those suspected of inciting violence at JNU. It’s under investigation, which sounds promising, but uh, we’ve seen what’s happened in the past. There’s not really a lot of hope there.]

While there are scattered protests about this, and some mild coverage from very few news channels, and people have talked about it a little, it’s been lost under all the noise of the pandemic, the migrant crisis, cyclones, locust invasion and other horrors hitting the country right now. Please, please, PLEASE raise awareness about this.
