Maryland voters and activists ringing the alarm on #arunamiller and #hindunationalism: “We should start looking at the Hindutva movement as a really potent, slow-boiling, long-term sort of foreign interference that really does have a tangible impact.”

I just graphed Mastodon's MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS each day for the month of November.

At the end of October there were 496K active users, and at the end of November there are 2.6M -- that's 424% growth.

This is just ACTIVE users; there are millions more non-active accounts.

(For comparison, Twitter allegedly has 396.5M monthly active users, or about 152x the active userbase of Mastodon.)

I spoke to @shannonpareil of @npr on how the chaos at Twitter has dire consequences for the safety of Indian users and other global majority users who are facing the threat of mass atrocity. We hope that someone at
@twitter can take these concerns seriously before it's too late. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/30/1139924914/twitters-chaos-could-make-political-violence-worse-outside-of-the-u-s?utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=twitter.com
Twitter's chaos could make political violence worse outside of the U.S.

Under the chaotic changes unleashed by Elon Musk, Twitter users in the U.S. are confronting problems that have long plagued the social network in other parts of the world.

Hi all! Please listen to and share this beautiful episode of For the Wild in which Ayana is joined by me as I dig into the #Traumaofcaste.

We discuss Brahminism and its carceral logic as a caste soul wound that separates us from each other and from the broad web of life.

The commitment to caste annihilation comes with commitments to debrahminse, decolonize, and to abolish systems of carcerality, and to reimagine our world in love and endless possibility.
