Trees per person in India vs Rest of the world… If it isn’t alarming right now, it will be in a few years from now…

It is a shame they are allowed to operate in India.

#India: We regret fast passage of Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, without adequate stakeholder consultation. The amendments risk setting back hard-won rights of transgender people, replacing self-identification with mandatory medical verification processes. India has been a pioneer for rights of transgender & gender-diverse people. This Bill will have far-reaching impacts on right to privacy & risk marginalisation of transgender people.

Breaking: 3 out of 4 Indian shipments of military-grade steel destined for genocidal Israel have been detained and are under investigation in Italy. The BDS movement salutes the relentless work of BDS groups, activists, trade unions and port workers and calls for continued pressure to block the transfer of all military materiel and dual use items to genocidal Israel. Let’s keep the pressure on, and stop the genocidal Israel’s supply chains.

Dark Day for Democracy! Trans Bill passed in both houses. Trans men, trans non binary persons and trans women who are not kinner-hijra will NOT be legally recognised as trans anymore! Bill passed without community or NCTP consultation. Calls to differ to select committee ignored.

Very bad news. If trans bill becomes a law, trans men, nonbinary persons and trans women who are not kinner-hijra, will not be legally recognised as trans. Only intersex and kinner-hijra persons will be recognised and that too after medical inspection. Additionally …

Bill has been passed. Opposition has walked out of the voting. The house is Adjourned.

You may see me talk a lot about the Trans Bill being passed in India. I am aware it does not concern you since you may not be trans, nor indian. But it is one of the most morally bankrupt inhumane things happening in my country. Please help amplify this.

Recently, Israeli forces subjected a one-year-old child to abuse to pressure his father into giving confessions east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, according to local and family sources. The child's father, Osama Abu Nassar, suffered psychological trauma after the death of a horse he used for income. While taking his child to buy supplies a few days ago, he was caught in gunfire near his home and forced by soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach the Israeli checkpoint, where he was stripped of his clothes. According to witnesses, the army then took the child and interrogated the father at the checkpoint. The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning with cigarettes on his leg, pricking, and inserting a metal nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report. The child, Karim, was released after 10 hours and handed over to his family through the International Red Cross, while the father remains in detention. 📷 Osama Al-Kahlout

Bernie bros came for me on this Nazi platform when I quote tweeted his Calude ad saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic." Lets elaborate. Bernie has been repeating Dario Amodei's talking points for a while now, even quote tweeting him.🧵

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

@FIDE_chess @PHChess any thoughts on this?

FIDE is aware of reports circulating on social media regarding an alleged decision at a tournament in Spain to prohibit Israeli players to participate under their national flag. FIDE had no prior knowledge of this decision, did not make any ruling on this, nor was it consulted by the organisers. FIDE strongly condemns any form of discrimination, including on the basis of nationality and flag. The same rules apply to Israel and its players as for all other member federations that are not under any form of sanctions. We have sent a formal request for detailed information to the tournament organisers and will take all necessary actions to ensure our rules and principles are respected at all events.

240 REMAINS OF TAMILS FOUND IN THE CHEMMANI MASS GRAVES ONE FOUND IN A SITTING POSITION MORE PEOPLE OUTSIDE EELAM/SRI LANKA NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT THIS

Stop everything that you are doing and watch this video carefully. If you are busy now, bookmark it and watch in the evening. In just 8 minutes, you'll understand how Lok Sabha elections was manipulated with crores of fake voters across the country. Even if you are a Modi supporter, this is your best opportunity to stand on the right side of history. True patriotism means seeking the truth, not hiding from it. Watch it, and decide for yourself. @RahulGandhi #VoteChoriBJP #BJPExposed

#JammuAndKashmir | Govt bans publication of 25 books, declares their publication and their copies and other documents to be forfeited to the government. As per the Home department, these books "propagate false narrative and secessionism in J&K".

Seeing African starved kids in tv your whole life have desensitized yall to unimaginable levels. You treat us like we are disposable and non - sentient beings because why else would you be so comfortable watching a population of 25 millions starve to death?
