My feature for @newlinesmag on #AasiaBibi, who is living a miserable life in Canada. She works a menial job, sometimes for over 14 hours a day. Over the past 2 years, her health has deteriorated. “I only have a few years left to live,” she told me: newlinesmag.com/spotlight/cond…

Council of Islamic Ideology is an entirely pointless entity consisting of semiliterate mullahs who are resistant to progress. It’s outrageous that such extremist individuals are paid using taxpayer money

🚨🚨 Country ruled by jokers and clowns ensuring #Pakistan become a laughing stock for the world, now so called COUNCIL OF ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY issues decree that “use of VPN is un-Islamic.”

Conceived by discarding every principle of democracy, the 26th amendment lacks legitimacy. For all the talk of its sovereignty, parliament was fundamentally undermined. Wrote a piece after a long time on the disaster that is the 26th amendment. dissenttoday.net/featured/heres…

“The 26th amendment holds little democratic legitimacy because it is marred by allegations of coercion and a lack of transparency. It was conceived by discarding the principles of freedom of speech, transparency, and due process.” ~ writes @Hassan_A_Niazi dissenttoday.net/featured/heres…

Trump is assembling a neocon pro-Russia cabinet of interventionist isolationists, these are dark times

Trump confirms that Tulsi Gabbard will be his next Director of National intelligence.



Why is the UK allowing this constant harassment of Pakistan's state officials?

Defence Minister of Pakistan threatened to be attacked with a Knife in London, at some overground station (Elizabeth Line)



"In this election, a rapist pledged to ​'protect' women whether we ​'like it or not.' It was a referendum on our bodily autonomy — most evident in abortion bans — and our place in public life." Powerful piece by @mobydickenergy on #Trump's win: inthesetimes.com/article/the-ra…

Focusing solely on how Trump’s margin of victory increased in NYC can obscure what actually happened. It wasn’t primarily driven by Democrats switching to Trump, but Dems staying home.

In New York City, Trump won 94,000 more votes than he did in 2020 – a significant shift that we must reckon with.  But 573,000 fewer New Yorkers voted for Harris. That’s the far bigger challenge to confront.

Sky News tweeted a report which unambiguously captured the racist and genocidal chants of Israeli fans. It’s now been deleted.

On the 400th day of mass slaughter in Gaza, the man who couldn’t bring himself to call Ayşenur Eygi’s parents after an IDF sniper shot her dead in the West Bank assures us that he’s reached out to the Israel Football Association to make sure their racist hooligans are doing ok.

The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted. We've been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable. We…

Since liberal values are taking a lot of heat… Liberal values should be cherished - they didn’t fall from heaven; but through immense struggle over centuries. Problem is when liberals become evangelists, forcing their views on others, shaming dissenters & canceling those who…
