My friend's son had to hide under a table at school today for the practise drill. We've decided to call all of this #ThaaliBaazi It's all so much useless performative rubbish.

Yet another Kashmiri journalist silenced. How long will you fight to stamp out this spark of freedom? How many voices will you silence? Who else will you blame for the consequences of your Occupation? thewire.in/security/sen...

Hello world; Indian media is not any source on Kashmir. It is known for reading from a script and misleading the world. If you want to know Kashmir, read us, meet us, follow us, talk to us.

A special trait of WAR, it often punishes the innocents first, and often, the innocents most.

I wrote about the forever war between India and Pakistan and the silencing of Kashmir. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

the areas near the ceasefire line are in panic since last week. the morning was a nightmare. the civilians in those areas suffer from constant back and forth of shelling. and also inadequate health infrastructure. they will have to travel hundreds of kilometres for basic medical care.

And there you have it: Israel has confessed, indeed heralded, its intent to complete the Gazan genocide. And the EU? Mrs von der Leyen? Our great and good leaders? They are consenting through a studied silence. 80 yrs after its defeat, Nazism in back. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Next year is the 500th anniversary of the first (as far as we know) rebellion of enslaved Africans in what became the United States. Do you teach about this history? If so, let us know what readings, lessons, & other resources you use. #TeachOutsideTextbook www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/fi...

14 year old Hassan Alaa Ayyad sang about the Palestinian struggles, their resistance and steadfastness. The Zionist bombs silenced him 💔 youtube.com/shorts/z9AT1...

We are entering a phase in the war in Sudan where the UAE is literally unleashing suicide drones through the RSF on areas previously considered safe cities, filled with displaced people.

India persecuting journalists in India-Occupied Kashmir for... *checks notes* telling the truth

And for those who follow such things, here is the deep dive on that study published in Nature linking individual fossil fuel companies with specific climate harms that I reported earlier this week. You'll find all the detail I couldn't pack into a ~600 word news report over at Drilled.

There is never a justification for killing children. Never.

Airlines have cancelled and rerouted flights over South Asia after India struck a series of sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Fuck the nation-state of India. Fuck all military action undertaken by India in support of its colonial occupation in Kashmir. Fuck all violence that kills other nation's citizens and fuck warmongering citizens cheering on such murder. Fuck war.

Israel is starving us in Gaza. This is what that feels like | Aya Al-Hattab

"Fake metal trees have been set into the concrete ground of the Amazonian host city of this year’s climate summit, prompting scandalised contrasts with the once-living vegetation that has been cleared in preparation for COP30 in Brazil."

"This feels like a living funeral. Who can bear such pain?" Pakistani woman in Kashmir spoke to Tauseef Ahmad & Sajid Raina on deportation after #Pahalgamattack & being torn from family. She married a surrendered militant who came home after 2010  govt amnesty  article-14.com/post/-this-f...

“in 2017 The Australian alleged that the company had crafted a pitch deck for advertisers bragging that it could exploit "moments of psychological vulnerability" in its users by targeting terms like "worthless," "insecure," "stressed," "defeated," "anxious," "stupid," "useless," and "like a failure”

Translated novel by trans author!!!! These books are super hard to find. (There are huge barriers for translations of trans authors.) Very interesting article too -

If you are not in India, one of the concrete actions you can take to support Kashmiris is to normalise referring to India-Occupied Kashmir IN FRONT of your Indian-origin colleagues. Make it commonplace to support Kashmir's freedom struggle.

Many such cases www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why is everyone on this website doing another round of “all these Gazans are fake?” Oh yeah it’s because they’ve become more persistent in their desperate pleas for help because they are all starving to death

If India ever escapes from the mire of venomous saffron nazism it's being eaten away by, I wonder if we'll ever be able to undo the damage, to de-radicalise generations of all these people who've wholeheartedly embraced hate as the governing element of their entire lives.

India and Pakistan ought to be lobbing mangoes at each other in flavour is better than yours war. This shit is asinine.

It does require accepting that Brown people are people which I think is the main hang up

Sirens sounded at 9:22 am this morning in central Israel, and sounds of explosions were heard and smoke was seen close to Terminal 3 at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport. The cause was a missile fired from Yemen #israel #houthis #yemen #missile-attack

A US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet was lost in the Red Sea after it fell overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier after the carrier made a hard turn to avoid a Houthi missile, according to initial reports and a Monday statement by the US Navy. #houthis #US #yemen #israel #gaza

A lot of men who have misogynistic beliefs actually don’t hold them too tightly. They mostly want to impress and bond with other men. Just being unimpressed—or even judgmental!—is often enough to get them to change their beliefs. If they’re encountering that reaction on a regular basis.

Today I commemorate Hind Rajab, who would've turned seven years old today if a US-backed genocidal Israel hadn't violently & intentionally exterminated the terrified girl, left waiting amidst the corpses of her family for an ambulance crew Israel massacred, with over 300 bullets shot from a tank.

Ten years ago, the gray crowned crane, faced with habitat loss and capture for illegal trade, was quietly slipping toward local extirpation in Rwanda. But the efforts of the Rwanda Wildlife Conservation Association to end keeping of cranes as pets, has helped rehabilitate many captive birds.

This is the 37 minute film that the Kenyan government doesn’t want you to see, identifying the security officers who gunned down peaceful protesters at parliament during the anti-finance bill protests last year. The four filmmakers were arrested and released on bail. youtu.be/qz0f1yyf_eA?...

I swear, we could wake up tomorrow to the news that some scientist in Alaska has discovered a mass-producable mushroom that supplies every micronutrient humans need, and the Indian govt will never permit anyone to import it because god forbit poor people get an equalising benefit that the rich want.

On the one hand - fucking bizarre and amazing people like this. On the other - most Indians die of snakebite because the govt has not bothered to establish enough cold storage supply points for antivenom.

"for most people counted among these so-called Hindi speakers, language is not a seat of power but a narrow corridor of access – the only path left open when all others are shut." A useful reminder of what Hindi's history really is scroll.in/article/1081...

I deeply resent the amount of loot in the UK museums that I do not get a chance to see, but I enjoy reading critiques of their exhibition curation techniques like this one scroll.in/article/1081...
