@AuschwitzMuseum Reflecting on your institution's Holocaust memorials and art commemorating its victims, it's disheartening that such a significant organization remains silent on the tragic killing of numerous innocent Palestinian citizens. History will undoubtedly pose questions.

It’s genuinely heartening to see this spirit of resistance finally taking shape.

I’ve joined the movement and stand with @RahulGandhi, Leader of the Opposition, against Vote Chori — an important people’s movement today, uniting citizens to fight voter manipulation.

Our country has now witnessed that not even a single politician dares to hold an anti-war stance—perhaps out of fear of political suicide.

But what should we call those who cheer for war and death in service of a corrupt political agenda? They are not patriots. They are just politically illiterate fanatics. Period...
I hope for an immediate ceasefire!

We protest this blatant censorship at a critical time for India when sane, truthful, fair and rational sources of news and information are amongst the biggest assets that India has.

We are taking all necessary steps to challenge this arbitrary and inexplicable blocking 👇🏾

[Siddharth @svaradarajan]

I want folks to reflect on the logic which the government is following on the flow of information.

1. Indian news channels ran programming for hours last night reporting that the Indian Navy had been deployed and had bombed and destroyed Karachi Port.
2. Indian news channels ran stories that the Indian army had entered Pakistan.
3. Indian news channels ran stories that India has captured Islamabad.
4. Indian channels ran stories about suicide terror strikes in Rajouri

All of this 'reporting' by major new channels was not just fake news but also inflammatory and provocative and clearly intended to ensure the very escalation (from the Pakistani side) that the Indian government has cautioned against from the outset.

Earlier, channels described an Indian Muslim victim of Pakistani shelling in Poonch as a Lashkar-e-Tayyaba terrorist.

Instead of firmly clearing the air with respect to this kind of dangerous reporting, the government issued instructions to Internet Service Providers across India to block access to The Wire — one of the largest Indian news platforms that has been reporting on the emerging situation with responsibility and restraint.

The blocking order is unconstitutional. It is an attack on press freedom and on the right of every Indian to access information. It must be lifted immediately.

Indian medias covering the India-Pak situation like it's an IPL final and they’ve bet their entire salary on it.

I don't think any scholars or war mongering media/politicians can deliver such conscience and moral clarity in just one minute.

No reflection, no empathy, not even a shred of conscience. This isn’t art. This is apathy. When these people understand these situations need political accountability, not edits.

[Amal J. Ramesan @AmaljithRamesan]

How can anyone look at a heartbreaking picture from a terrorist attack and make it into some aesthetic gimmick Ghibli-style AI edit?
And these thousands of foolish people are out here sharing it like a trendy meme without even thinking—

Arguably the only religious leader with a clearer conscience than most world leaders.I think he was a man of deep conviction. I admired his courage and how he spoke up for #Palestinian children and civilians till his last breath.
#PopeFrancis and his impact will be dearly missed.

When will American cultural elites- musicians, artists, actors, and others—who openly endorsed Kamala Harris realize that their political influence on the common people is not same as impactful as that of icons from the '80s and '90s ?

In spite of the criticism I have deservedly launched at Harris and her supporters for both their role in genocide and their pig-headed refusal to acknowledge their own courting and enabling of fascism, I take no joy in this moment.

Trump is not the answer. He’s a terrible leader, a figure of division and someone whose politics I comprehensively disagree with on pretty much every topic.

But the Democratic Party has just committed a genocide. A genocide. The weight of this crime must be impossible to counterbalance. Genocide must be a hard line. And hard lines require hard compromises.

In spite of the rhetoric, I doubt Trump 2.0 will be a whole lot different than from his last time as president, because presidents don’t really run the Empire.

It’s unlikely he’ll do anything different on Gaza, too — the issue that is clearly the most important to voters with a conscience that reaches beyond their borders. That means the ethnic cleansing will continue, the genocide will continue, the burning of families alive and starving of children to death will continue.

So this means *we* must continue. And more, we must use this moment as best we can — any way we can.

And so there is a topic that needs to be brought to the front of the conversation: the Democrats chose US imperialism over international law and lost.

They should not be given a sniff of power again until they confront their role in genocide. This vacuum allows the best chance for a third party to rise than any time in the last five decades in US politics.

This moment may mark the beginning of the end of the duopoly.

The Democrats turned their backs on their own people in favour of Israel’s genocide and lost. It’s a small window, but it’s a chance to build the anti-imperialist movement in the US, and we must grab it with both hands.

NEVER COMPROMISE ON GENOCIDE
