Lots has been said about South Asian voters shifting to the GOP & turning back to the Dems.
But given the incessant hate — H-1B Visa fees, tariffs, ICE raids — that shift is not surprising. There’s an even bigger story here.
A thread on what I found reporting for @newlinesmag🧵

Iowa’s governor-elect Rob Sand has a surprising résumé: before entering politics, he worked as a high-fashion model, walking runways in Milan and Paris for brands including Prada, Number (N)ine, and Giuliano Fujiwara.
The 44-year-old Democrat modeled in the early 2000s to help pay for college, even appearing in Prada’s Spring 2003 menswear show.

Important folks know the backstory of this ad. My twin brother, Andrew Robert Colom, @andrewcolom, wrote, directed, and produced this ad, and starred alongside me in it. (He's not AI). 😂
Kayland Partee (@KaylandPartee) did the cinematographer and helped with a lot of my great content. These 2 are another example of the awesome talent from and in the Sip!

The @IndianExpress has reproduced and reworked substantial portions of an exclusive interview with actor Rishikanth, conducted by The Hindu's @srinivasjam at our Chennai office. It has also used a photograph from the accompanying photoshoot by our photographer, @thamodharran, without permission or credit.
Quoting an exclusive interview is standard journalistic practice. Reproducing virtually an entire story, even with portions reworded, is not.
We find this disregard for original reporting and photography deeply disappointing. Credit where it is due is a basic tenet of journalism.

Maharashtra faces the worst drought it has in over 50 years.
At least 10 farmers have taken their lives in a week.
On Oct 31, the Maha govt spent 20 crore for the inauguration of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. It celebrated a Guinness Record that evening for most number of “dia rotations”.
That same evening, farmer Tikaram Chavan took his own life in Yavatmal.
A crushing drought, 19 tweets and 20 crore: I report for @thewire_in.

The masterful political interview by @andersoncooper employs some great techniques: 1) don’t get goaded into sidebars 2) make it clear they haven’t answered the question 3) keep asking the question you want to have answered 4) and crucially, don’t fill the silence.

About yesterday - #RamlilaMaidanRally
- Ramlila Maidan was packed to the rafters
- Clear endorsement of Rahul Gandhi’s leadership of the INDIA alliance.
- Unlike in the past, Congress was on the offensive,owning its attacks on the government.
- Good rally management, Seva Dal deserving special mention.
- Impressive cadre mobilisation across alliance partners.
- Unseen iter-party cadre camaraderie
- Launch of the Uttar Pradesh campaign.
- A more united, cohesive and organised Opposition.
Biggest achievement: not just mobilising, but energising and motivating the cadre for the battles ahead.

Just a little while ago, I was booking our air tickets for a function in mid December by @IndiGo6E. When I selected the fights, the cost was ₹47,500/-. While selecting seats it became ₹50,000/-+ and by the time I reached payment, it was ₹52,270/-.
All in a matter of minutes. @MoCA_GoI
What on earth is going on? Such loot.

पहले किसी लड़की को ‘कॉल गर्ल’ और ‘प्रॉस्टिट्यूट’ बोलो, न्यूज़ चलाओ; जब विरोध किया जाये तो ‘सॉरी’ बोल दो! तमाशा बना दिये हो?
तुम्हारी इस ‘फेक न्यूज़’ और बड़ी दलाली पाने की कोशिश ने मेरी क्या मानसिक हालत कर दी है इसका अंदाज़ा है तुमको?
कोर्ट में मुलाक़ात होगी. मुझे न्याय चाहिये माफ़ी नहीं.

ASTONISHING: CJP’s Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das still in judicial custody for trespass and violation of prohibitory orders while waving the tricolour at Jantar Mantar (not an act of violence by any reckoning), and Hindu Raksha Dal members who were caught on camera beating protestors out on bail (an act of brazen goondaism). Yeh hai kanoon??😡

Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍

INTERESTING: “If every citizen becomes a journalist, it will create problems for all,” says CJI Surya Kant.
With a mobile phone, every citizen can now document events and hold power to account. Not everyone is a professional journalist, but every citizen has a right to free expression.
Your Lordships, stand by the CONSTITUTION, not STATE POWER!🙏

Throughout my sporting career, I questioned my coaches, challenged ideas and remained curious. Not because I lacked respect but because I wanted to understand, learn and get better. I worry that when athletes feel they cannot speak freely, something far more troubling happens over time. They slowly stop questioning even in their own minds. And when that happens we loose something essential to sporting excellence. We need athletes who question their own work, their coaches, the methods recommended to them and the structures they operate within. Not out of defiance but out of a genuine desire to improve. What some might consider indiscipline may, in fact, be essential to growth. There is a difference between an athlete who refuses to learn and one who refuses to stop asking questions. Sport must be wise enough to recognise that difference.

कल मैंने Zepto से कुछ सामान मंगाया 15 मिनट में डिलीवरी वाले का फोन आया—
“सर, आपकी लोकेशन पर हूं ऑर्डर ले लीजिए।”
जैसे ही मैं नीचे पहुंच देखा कि वह अकेला नहीं था। उसके साथ एक डॉगी भी आया हुआ था और वह बाइक पर ऐसे बैठा था मानो उसका कोई पुराना दोस्त हो।
मैं हैरान होकर पूछा—“भाई, यह क्या चक्कर है? इसे साथ क्यों घूमा रहे हो?”
डिलीवरी वाले ने बताया कि यह उनके वेयरहाउस के पास ही रहता है। एक बार...... 1/2
