Ominous development: Per a cable obtained by @dropsitenews.com, the State Department is creating a Middle East Task Force "to coordinate crisis-related support to U.S. citizens, public messaging, and diplomatic engagement due to increased tensions in the region."

🚨NEW: Israel Attacks Iran, Promising Full-Scale Military Operation As nuclear talks falter, U.S. officials deny Washington was involved in the strikes. Report by @dropsitenews.com’s @mazmhussain.bsky.social dropsitenews.com/p/israel-attac…www.dropsitenews.com/p/israel-att...on

The nazis (& murica) just bombed iran

The brutal and inhuman nature of a casteist society.

All gas, no breaks. Only you can make this poll a reality: zohranfornyc.com/events

Zohran is up. Keep going.

I wonder what the cognitive dissonance will feel like when GTA6 comes out, and the right wing gamers have to play it, after calling for more arrests and state repression of protesters in LA. Hypocrisy levels will be through the roof

Hmmmmm

On one hand: individual instances of guys on a burning car. On the other: mass state-sanctioned kidnappings of your neighbors — moms and dads, high school kids and farmworkers — all funded by your taxes. Don't trust any smug politician or media person who focuses on the first more than the second.

I think Greta Thunberg is the best example of how there is no way of protesting that will satisfy the scolds. It'll either be called too aggressive or a self-serving publicity stunt.

Hindutva uncs ruining things for the rest of us again. Dude thought the FBI would go easy on him because Kash Patel is the director. Hindu nationalists are the biggest threat to all South Asians, including other hindus. They even have a group called the SS in India that focuses on "hindu traitors"

Driving a kidnap van with blackout windows and no plates, non-matching cosplay gear, masked because they know their actions are illegal and morally repugnant. Anybody can say they're an agent of the government. Why should anybody trust a guy who hides his face and won't show you a badge?

#BREAKING ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ Director resigns knowing the set-up violates humanitarian law & is a ruse to wipe out the people of Gaza

Finally watched Santosh. I have never seen such an accurate depiction of police brutality in India, and how it intersects with brahminical caste apartheid and misogyny. Everyone should watch this movie, no wonder the brahmin censorship board of India banned it.

There is a certain cognitive dissonance among Indians. When swift military action is taken against Maoists or Kashmiris, the army and state is praised as being on the cutting edge. But when hindutva enact pogroms for days on end with no intervention, they can't accept the state's role in allowing it

NEW: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking for the first time since launching “Operation Sindoor,” said India’s military strikes on Pakistan are only “paused”—not over—and vowed to continue if Islamabad does not dismantle what he called its “terrorist infrastructure.”

Ceasefire holding for now. What a relief

I mostly deal with the Indian side of things regarding discourse and all that. But its amazing how many Pakistanis legitimately believe that they didn't kill any civilians, did everything in broad daylight, etc. Propaganda is going to keep the region dumb

Pearl clutching privileged caste libs who also don't live in India, calling me out for not living in India and having an opinion. This dude is someone I've known for years and has seen my posts on Kashmir forever. I reposted the same stuff from Kashmirawareness and now he thinks I'm a propagandist 🤣

Just like he did in 2002 Gujurat, modi has started a bloodbath, except this time he's PM, it's the army instead of local Hindutva terrorists. The nation didn't stop him then, and it doesn't seem like theres a will to stop him now. The people cheer the destruction of folks who look just like them.Rot

Indian online spaces were always turning into an islamophobic, billionaire loving echo-chamber, but escalations like this really allow the gov to further accelerate this. Cutting textbook chapters, banning films, kicking out human rights orgs and jailing journos and activists. Absolutely backwards.

As expected the cowardly modi gov has used this opportunity to block The Wire's website in India. Many short sighted indians will cheer this on and become armchair military strategists about it, info control and so on. This will come for them

Anyone who thinks shelling civilians is going to "deter terror" is a damned fool. Not to mention the effects that downward pressure on the market and dipping the rupee will have on the poor

Pinkwashing in 2 slides. On one hand you have Faye who's been really impressed that Indian women are leading this strike on civilians and doing these presentations, and on the other hand you have the average bjp supporter cheering it on and using it to push more mysoginy on Indian muslim women.

A reminder that resource extraction and profit has been another element in the war for Kashmiri land. In 2023, the Indian government announced that Kashmir has a reserve of 5.9 million metric tonnes of Lithium, they've been trying to auction it ever since.

Pakistan as predicted retaliated by killing Kashmiris on the Indian side. It is groteque how people on both sides beat their chests for war while both nation states unleash their anger on Kashmiris. Everything about this reeks, the branding of the attacks, the use of women officers as spokespersons

Since everybody is about to turn into overnight Indo-Pak experts, No this isnt' because Trump became president. No this isn't because Israel's post Oct 7 response set a new normal. FFS take some time to leave your narrow ass world view

Indian Liberals right now

The amount of Indians and Pakistanis cheering on missiles strikes on the other on Twitter right now is just.....c'mon guys

India has bombed 9 sites in Pakistan, striking a mosque and reportedly killing a child including other civilians. This is a horrifying escalation

Can't wait to hear from Zionists how it's antisemitism to say you shouldn't bomb aid ships carrying civilians in international waters

This is why people with brains always assume the Hindutva fascists are responsible for false flag operations. Without strong emotions of hatred they do not have an existence, such is the nature of vibes based politics. Vampires all, and not the sexy kind. Lol

I have to say that journo is such a boss, they went right after that cop after the pig tried to run

BREAKING: A Freedom Flotilla ship was reportedly targeted in a drone attack. The front of the vessel was struck twice, causing a fire and a breach in the hull. The ship was stranded in international waters near Malta. An SOS distress signal has been issued. Video: Freedom Flotilla Coalition

I would just like to point out that burning and vandalizing a bunch of Teslas and their dealerships shook Elon and the ruling class more than protests and the "Fight Oligarchy" tour have.

Gee thanks NYT, we didn't know that, what a revelation

A Muslim Malayali man who needed mental health support was lynched by a Hindu mob and killed. They claim that he shouted Pakistan zindabad. A bjp minister said that it was an accident and must not be politicized. Things like this is what many of us feared in the wake of the Pahalgam incident.

India detained 1500 Kashmiris since the attack in Pahalgam. While the countries involved posture and rattle their sabres, the mainstream creators and outlets seem to have forgotten the Kashmiris once more. Its like the Indian body politic dusts them under the rug. Where are they
