Please say hello to my little sweetheart, Chuhi. ❤

The schools that had the most prevalent protests - including Columbia where I work - either suspended or expelled most of the students protesting Israel's genocide of Gaza. One of my former students has a 3 year (!!!) suspension. Then, the schools enacted rules making protest nearly impossible. And the very people who pressured the schools to do this are now saying "Where are all the protests?". Idiots.

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

When the Taliban shot Malala in the head she was airlifted to the QE hospital in Birmingham, her family rehoused and her life started afresh in safety. Ritaj Rayhan, aged nine, was shot in the head by Israelis so NO British media will report on her murder.

when you barely participate in the group project and still pass

THIS WAS SO FUN AND HILARIOUS 😭

Avi Lewis: "We have a very clear plan to cut grocery prices by 30-40% for Canadians at a cost to the federal government ... We'd subsidize it. It costs $350m to launch and $300m a year, which is one-half of 1% of the current defence budget."

Jesse is all for publishing names unless it's Jewish terrorists who served in the IDF

@demoniorobin Even more than colourism, I think it's anti-south (specifically anti-tamil) racism. All these actresses are of tamil descent. And the classism with the kamwali bai comment? Dude hit the asshole trifecta!

Colorism in india so bad, indians are now getting mad that other regular looking indians are getting cast for roles in hollywood, i hate yall bruh

shame on us.

Superb from @MichaelRosenYes 👏

The plan for a Greater Israel extending over the West Bank into Lebanon and Syria laid out with great clarity by a senior government minister. This is of course completely illegal, goes against all the stipulations of International Law and should lead to immediate sanctions

Sky News report from Lebanon, Emergency responder one, "It was the devil (who did this). People were burning" Emergency responder two, "I didn't know if I was in Gaza or Beirut. It was a disaster" Emergency responder one, "As you put a piece of burger on a grill, people were grilled" Sky News, "Israeli military say they specifically targeting Hezbollah" Emergency responder one, "There is no Hezbollah in Beirut" "If now, there were Jewish people here injured, and they need our help, we'll help them" "Our message is peace" "This area has food and beverage, and clothes. There's no military here" "Beirut is under government authority" "There is no Hezbollah here"

Rahul Desai PERFECTLY captures that growing sense of disillusionment (which i absolutely share) with both cricket and bollywood. i quit cricket a while ago and barely watch any bollywood films any more. Neither is fun for me at this point.

I’ve been saying this for years, the reason is the following: The United States has been bombing, sanctioning and destabilizing the Middle East for 40 years and the average American encounters zero consequences. No refugees on their street. No rubble in their city. They don’t see their families getting wiped out. No funerals on their news. So they stay comfortable. When you conduct your wars 6,000 miles away, your population never has to reckon with what is being done in their name. 72% of Americans supported the Iraq War. A war that k’lled over 1 million people, built entirely on lies. They supported it because Iraq was not real to them. It was a map. A news ticker. A “they.” Lebanon is not real to that boss. Gaza is not real to most of Congress. Iran is not real to the people paying for the bombs. When Russia bombed Kyiv: American TV anchors cried on air. $175 billion in aid passed Congress in record speed. Most Americans put a Ukrainian flag in their bio. CBS correspondent said: ‘This isn't a place like Iraq or Afghanistan. This is a relatively civilized, relatively European city.’ Which means brown peoples lives do not really matter to them The American media has a very specific idea of whose suffering counts as a tragedy and whose suffering counts as a separate skirmish. That is how empire sustains itself not through force at home rather through distance abroad. The moment the consequences came home i.e Vietnam, with a draft Americans took to the streets and ended a war. Remove the draft. Remove the consequences. And you can bomb indefinitely. They have the luxury to be ignorant.

@kajakallas Israel dragged the region into war. They have been invading Lebanon since before Hezbollah was formed. Do some research. I am a reporter on the ground and I have 18 months worth of evidence of Israeli war crimes in Lebanon. You cannot dispute it.

This is the video (dated 13 Feb 2026) from Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh where a litre of milk was mixed with a bucket of water to serve students during mid-day meal at a government school. In the second video, 11000 litres of milk was poured in the Narmada river during a religious event in Madhya Pradesh.

“The Israeli army can say whatever it wants, but it is not providing any evidence. What I see on the ground is families terrorised - videos of people jumping from balconies to escape, images of children wounded by shrapnel and trapped under rubble. This is also my city. I’ve walked these streets countless times. The strikes came without warning, during rush hour” For @BBCNewsnight on Israel’s claims that it struck Hezbollah centres and took precautions to “mitigate harm to civilians”.

Eric Hobsbawm defined darkness not as a apocalyptic break but as the state where everyone "gets used to living under conditions which should not be tolerated". Getting used to livestream genocide, carpet bombings and now threat of imminent nuclear attack is living in darkness.
