So given my folks interest, see what I mean. Historians need to clearly explain how they deploy 'decolonisation'. "Decolonization by consent" only ever occurs in the imagination of white historians. Proofed Fanon's first name, added Césaire in index. OUP has wide readership!

Telugu song wins but NDTV has the temerity to play the Hindi version AND interview the Hindi singer who DID NOT win the award. Talk about erasure. And y'all wonder why we don't want to speak Hindi. "Indian-ness Won Today": youtu.be/k08FK9LJVns

So this grilling of Reserve Bank of Australia Phillip Rowe. Why the gov acting like the ONLY thing we can do is mess with rates? We have other tools available..like fiscal policy? This isn't some mystical, magical occurrence we can only sit back and hand wring about.

"Oh for goodness sake." WTF is this level of discourse? "Have you acknowleged the UK's contribution to democracy?" THIS is the conversation we're having about colonisation?????? IN a colony? Frustrates me so much.

"Feels like you're kinda like my counselor or something, Senator Birmingham". Yeah, stick to your lane mate. Don't attempt a conversation about stuff you seem to know zero about. Maybe do some, dunno, serious reading about colonisation, Simon Birmingham ?

Not surprised to hear Liz’s funeral cost British taxpayers £162 million, and that the largest share went to the cops. That’s exactly why police were established in the first place - to protect the aristocracy and their wealth from lowly commoners. And so it is, even in death.

This is an open, naked declaration of genocide that simply says out loud what the official policy has always been in practice. Will any of the governments who have proudly declared their ‘unwavering’ support for Israel condemn it?

Sigh. The playbook. They make up a lie; there is no evidence for it; Western journalists spread it like wildfire; diplomats and politicians parrot it loudly; a narrative is built; the general public believes it; the damage is done; then they finally admit it never happened.

There will be a lot of talk in the coming days about the referendum campaigns, but we should not forget that the No campaign lied totally. It lied, everyone associated with it lied, everyone associated with it operated in bad faith. This will be the model for every election.

The referendum in Australia was fundamentally flawed. Asking colonizers to voluntarily share power is inherently problematic. They knowingly, or unknowingly, acknowledge that they are on stolen land. #auspol

Hey RGIA Hyderabad it's sad how I've been treated, twice in a row, by your immigration officials while processing paperwork. What should be a joyous return home is marred by their clear contempt and disdain. Do better. #hyderabadairport #rgia #CustomerServiceFail
