THE FEELING OF FALLING THAT OCCASIONALLY JARS THE WOULD-BE SLEEPER TO SUDDEN WAKEFULNESS MAY BE A PSYCHOLOGICAL RESPONSE HELD OVER FROM LIVING IN TREES

Archvies | Over the past few years, the Indian diaspora has become political—while keeping a safe distance from the storm centre of the toxic right-wing politics it spews—and Priyanka Chopra is simply the high priestess of the blinding bourgeois hypocrisy it has come to typify. Like Chopra, the larger community of Indian immigrants to the United States and the United Kingdom have been in the news for what they choose to endorse and ignore. Indian-Americans in New Jersey recently apologised after including a bulldozer—now a symbol of anti-Muslim hate—in a parade to celebrate 75 years of Indian independence. The New York Times noted that, “to those who understood its symbolism, it was a blunt and sinister taunt later likened to a noose or a burning cross at a Ku Klux Klan rally.” In September 2022, the diaspora in Leicester and Birmingham went on an angry march, threatening Muslim residents in the area. Wherever the diaspora is concentrated, it is now flexing its muscles to threaten South Asian Muslims. The seeds of hate sown in India have spread like a metastasising cancer, infecting all corners of the world where Indians live. The real grift, for me, is that Chopra—like the rest of the diaspora—keeps getting away with her delusional self-narrative. As a UN ambassador, she has stood up for everyone from George Floyd to Iranian women while inviting Modi to her wedding reception. She is by no means the only actor with a broken moral compass; Bollywood’s role as a propaganda machine for the Hindu Right recently made it to the New Yorker. But she is among the few who live in a dual reality, code-switching from propagandist to civil-rights champion more easily than one slips in and out of pyjamas.

This platform is poison, this is my last tweet ever (retweets will continue) but neway I think a sick way to be out properly would be annotating my entire timeline from tweet one, pointing out whatever projecting and posturing I think was going for— ✌️ I’ll see ya’ll in hell!

Jack Harlow going the R&B route instead of country music as his "white rapper hip hop as a stepping stone" move is really what makes him a pioneer.

Settlers in Duma were shooting at Palestinians, attacked solidarity activists, and beat a Palestinian man with bats. When the Israeli army arrived, they arrested me and 4 Palestinians, one of them is 13-year-old boy, another was injured and needed an ambulance, but instead was taken to jail. Now all the activists have been forced out from Duma, which led to settler pogroms and eventually expulsion of Palestinian families.

Who are we? Let me tell you, America! We are the Kurds you betrayed in Rojava, north-east Syria, your anti-ISIS coalition partners. You sold us to Turkey in 2018, which annexed our Kurdish city of Afrin for allied jihadist factions. Then again in 2019, when our cities of Sere Kaniye and Gire Spi were handed over to Turkey for “security concerns,” even though not a single bullet from Rojava had been fired toward Turkey. And once more in 2026, when you handed us over to the former ISIS and al-Qaeda Syrian regime under the extreme hardliner al-Jolani. Thousands of us were massacred, ethnically cleansed, hunted street by street. Our women fighters were beheaded, their braids cut as war trophies by jihadist men. We are the Kurds you betrayed in Basur, northern Iraq, who held a popular referendum in 2017, winning by 92% to separate from Iraq, a country that had ethnically cleansed and murdered us for years, only for our freedom to be denied. The Iraqi central government, encouraged by your condemnation of our referendum, attacked us and forcibly took over our Kurdish city of Kirkuk. Our peshmerga forces were run over by Iraqi tanks. Even now, Iraqi forces continue forcing Kurds out of their homes, as they have since the 1960s, because the city is oil-rich. We are the same Kurds in northern Iraq whom you urged to stand up against the Saddam regime in 1991, only to abandon us when we rose up. We were massacred, and 2 million of us were displaced. You were shamed into Operation “Provide Comfort,” but only after thousands of us had already been killed following your call to rise. We are the Kurds in Bakur, western Turkey whose lives and bodies have been sacrificed because of your economic and military ties to Turkey- your NATO allies who built a jihadi corridor and openly supports ISIS, al-Qaeda and al-Nusra. We are the same Kurds in Rojhilat whom you betrayed during the 1975 Algiers Agreement. The Kurdish uprising collapsed overnight; tens of thousands were displaced. Iraqi forces launched severe reprisals—those who witnessed what had happened to our fellow Kurds in Basur and Rojava now refuse to be your foot soldiers. We know who you are, America. But it’s no wonder- despite this long and painful history of betrayal- that YOU still don’t know who we are. The oppressed carry the memory of every wound, but the oppressor forgets the scars it has inflicted.

Everyone is watching to see whether Kurdish fighters will launch a ground offensive into western Iran. So, who are the Kurds? Read more: cnn.it/3OONlCd

Tyre is older than all Abrahamic religions and that’s why “Israel” tries to destroy it. Our people have existed in Bilad Al-Sham for longer than their mythology goes back to and that’s why they hate us, our mere presence in our ancestral lands reminds them that they’re invaders.

BREAKING: Israel is raining bombs on civilian homes in Tyre, South Lebanon — a city that has stood for over 4,000 years. Not military sites. Civilian neighborhoods.

Underrated sociopathic element of US-Israel violence is after they kill The Bad Guy, typically along with 1000s of civilians, they feed the “inside story” to baby bird NatSec reporters at NYT or Atlantic who do a glowing Zero Dark Thirty write-up about how sexy and slick it was

Reminder that one reason Epstein files were so revelatory were that they showed the class of people constantly mouthing Western propaganda about entering “Muslim countries” and “saving their women” is the same class that was, simultaneously, enabling a child sex trafficking ring.

There is so much going on here at home and so much I can say about the heartbreaking things the immigrant community is experiencing here in the US. I also feel a personal responsibility to speak about what’s happening in Cuba, I still have family on the island that we speak to and send medicine, food and clothes to. It has been 67 years of a failing dictatorship and an oppressive regime. The Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them because to speak is to risk your life. Many people are starving, looking for food in trash heaps, and the only way to survive is having relatives ship you boxes of medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine. The power is gone for so long that food spoils and water becomes scarce . When people have peacefully protested, they have disappeared or been put behind bars, some as young as 13 years old. This is a reality where a post online costs you your life. The Cuban people have lived without dignity and without hope for too long. It’s no wonder so many Cubans have thrown themselves into shark infested waters, making boats out of tires and sticks and risking their lives for freedom. They are now in the midst of a profound humanitarian crisis. If you want to help and don’t know how, check the link below to support Caritas Cuba and their work. If you’re able to give, any donation makes a difference. thank u so much love you guys 🌺💌🇨🇺 #SOSCUBA 🥺 friendsofcaritascubana.org/donate-3/?fbcl…

I spoke with eight witnesses to the lynching of an American teenager by settlers in the West Bank, reconstructing the killing and situating it within the system that made it possible. Link in the next tweet.

i work with homeless new yorkers as a social worker and encampment sweeps can be devastating for our clients. people’s birth certificates, social security cards, etc get thrown away. when it’s time to apply for jobs, we spend hours tracking down these documents for clients.
Josie Stratman@JosieStratman

Mamdani says his new homeless encampment sweep policy is diff than past sweep policies cuz of the 7 days of outreach before booting ppl from encampments. "Their 3rd, their 4th, their 5th, their 6th reaction may be one of interest in the possibility of shelter services," he says
