Most folks are focused on the consent/deception threads, rightfully so, but between the 2 different videos Bella makes for Della earlier in the ep & the awkward bark/melanin exchange, the commentary on how social media flattens discourse was so good. Stellar show. #IMayDestroyYou

San Francisco just passed a resolution denouncing the CAA & NRC. Six U.S. cities have now condemned Modi, Amit Shah & fascism in India. Organized Hindutva elements tried to stop the measure, but they failed. More resolutions are coming. You can't stop the forces of history.

I’ve been seeing a lot of jokes about the show on matchmaking and arranged marriages on Netflix and as someone who’s lived through this hell for most of her twenties, I’m here to tell you; it’s no joking matter 1/n

There would be no Immigration Act of 1965 without the Voting Rights Act. And there would be no VRA without John Lewis. He made so many of us possible. I’m so sad for his loss, but overjoyed at my luck that my lifetime overlapped with his. Rest in power, troublemaker.

Vikas Khanna, gives it back to BBC news anchor. Anchor: in India, you were not from a rich family. So your sense of hunger must have come from there. Vikas: NO, I am from Amritsar, everyone gets fed there in the langars. My sense of hunger came from New York!
