The Supreme Court called punitive demolitions “wholly unconstitutional.” So why are the police officers carrying them out posting the footage to Instagram for clout? New reportage by Samira Iqbal for @project_polis on the digital ecosystem legitimizing India’s “Bulldozer Raj.” thepolisproject.com/read/influence…

Police officers across India are filming bulldozer demolitions like influencers set to mocking pop songs, hailed as “Singham” in the comments, where viewers drop GPS pins for the next target. Samra Iqbal reports on how Reels are turning “bulldozer justice” into entertainment. thepolisproject.com/read/influence…

Thus far it includes ~30 examples that range from the individual to institutional, from the artistic to the political. It also showcases 8 examples of "Possible Futures," projects already dreaming up and building alternatives to Silicon Valley's extractive, corrosive vision of AI development.

Thomas Massie was the only member of the House to vote against a resolution affirming Israel’s right to exist and declaring that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. (AOC voted yes)

NEW: Activists with the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) movement and No Harbour for Genocide (NHB) are raising the alarm over what they describe as a "flood" of military supplies from India to Israel, after six shipments of suspected military-grade steel were identified on multiple vessels en route to weapons factories in Israel. The shipments, activists said, amounted to around 806 tonnes of military-grade steel, and could produce up to 17,458 artillery (155mm) shells for the Israeli military.

Jesus fucking christ. They made a woman appear for a criminal court arraignment even though she was 9 months pregnant and she gave birth while handcuffed to a bench *inside the courtroom*

Right-wing Hindu nationalist groups are attacking HfHR. But they do not get to define our community. We represent Hindus who stand for peace, justice, and truth. Here is the truth. 🧵

Anjali Enjeti (@AnjaliEnjeti) is journalist, activist, poll worker, and former attorney. She’s also the author of ‘Southbound’, ‘The Parted Earth’, and ‘Ballot’. Anjali joins us this Friday at The People’s Forum for a conversation on what it means to write America now. What does it mean now for writers of the diaspora to move through America and write about it, not as distant observers, but as people shaped by and implicated in its systems of power? Anjali is joined by Aruni Kashyap, Zara Chowdhary, and Suchitra Vijayan (@suchitrav). May 15, Friday | 6 to 9 p.m. The People’s Forum, 320 W 37th St, New York, NY
