The question is no longer about what the people of Bangladesh have gotten rid of. The question is about what this will now beget - a military rule, a quasi military rule, an unelected authoritarian, managed elections or something truly democratic. The real challenge begins now.

This is some moment. The statue of Sheikh Mujib, the father of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and the country's independence leader, is being destroyed. Unfortunately, his reputation (most support him, others not) has been significantly tarnished by association with her…

Had the honour of having my first ever successful #pitch accepted by @CincinnReview and I wrote this #essay titled "On Being Envious of Able-Bodied Writers from the Global North" for them based off my pitch! Thoughts? 👇🏿 cincinnatireview.com/special-featur… #Disabled #GlobalSouth

"The most common piece of writing advice that I hear is to write every single day, no matter what. That’s ableist. How am I supposed to write every single day if it could induce a seizure?" Read @mugabsb's contribution to our JEALOUSY/ENVY folio now. buff.ly/4bHya3p

What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? The question posed by Frederick Douglass 172 years ago continues to haunt this nation. And in its modern iteration, what does a nation’s independence mean when liberation remains elusive for many of its people? nmaahc.si.edu/explore/storie…

I heard from 100+ Sudanese civilians, and their sense of urgency - for peace, for immediate access to food and medicine, for civilian protection - was intense and universal.  I share their call for all sides to commit to Jeddah and to an inclusive democratic transition.

Dark day in #Georgia, Parliament adopting “foreign agents” law against the country wide civic protest.

Fw mins ago, 🇬🇪 ruling party officially became a Russian regime. After all the violence, brutal crackdowns, beating people in their homes, & finally passing the Russian law, we’re back on the streets, & our message is clear:“They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds.”
