@gauravsabnis.bsky.social hi professor Sabnis. My sister from India got into NYU for a master's program. She's concerned about the current political situation in the US. She got scholarship + her savings, so she is having major second thoughts if it is worth it. Do you have any thoughts/advice?

For the first time ever, a tweet of mine has been "withheld in India". Someone from the Indian government saw this tweet and sent it to Musk Twitter to block.
What was this anti national seditious dangerous tweet you ask? See for yourself.
This sentiment is now getting blocked proactively.

Unfortunately I think you're already there.
Most of us in Canada don't have any positive emotions towards the US anymore.

I don’t think most Americans understand how reviled we’re gonna become around the world. MAGA voters won’t care, those sh*t kickers think a trip to Branson or Disney World is travel. But the rest of us may absorb well deserved scorn & ridicule. We’re inching toward infamy.

I want to start a writers group/book club for parents of young kids. Each month we’ll plan meet ups and each month we’ll postpone and cancel. Despite the inability to keep appointments, we will continue to schedule simply because we need something to look forward to.

The Israeli genocide is perpetrated with the help of USA, Germany, the UK, France, Canada.
There is no international law if this terror state is allowed to continue its murder of a people.

Opinion: Canada’s democracy had a decent day. But it can do better to reflect all Canadians in this moment of crisis
In a democracy – and especially in a crisis – citizens need to feel represented. With our election delivering a deeply divided result, let’s ask: should we elect for proportional representation?

We are all Canadian, all 41 million. After this election is over, I hope we work to unite our country and make it even stronger. If any segment of our society has felt they are being left behind and have turned to extreme ideology, we need to reach out and help them catch up, no matter who governs.

Been having conversations about consent & how our bodies sometimes say 'NO' in different ways with my 7 year old. It came up when he was tickling his little sister who was on the surface laughing but wanted him to stop. This wasn't the first time we discussed & it definitely won't be the last time.

Mark Carney is making a stand. Voters have a choice to properly fund the CBC or defund it with Poilievre. I believe the CBC is one reason why #disinformation has trouble gaining ground in Canada, despite foreign ownership of newspaper chains and social media.

All members of the media should require him to explain what he means by ‘woke’, and not let up until he does.
Pierre Poilievre:
“A Conservative government would put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research.”
(Same messaging US MAGA used. Now it is gutting scientific research across the board.) ⤵️

If we vote Liberal or NDP, despite the hysteria from the right about "socialism" and "communism", at worst we remain a social democracy like the one we have now, like Scandinavia. If we vote conservative, worst case we end up like the US, Turkey, or become a 51st state. #cdnpoli #canadastrong

Danielle Smith could not have made it any plainer: she admits she told the Trump administration to pause the tariff dispute until after the election because the dispute helps the Liberals and hurts Poilievre.
