"It is, of course, always nice to be praised. But this is really not the point, it's ever so much nicer to be understood."

این الگو هم در مسیحیت هم در اسلام مشاهده شده.
یعنی جهت علّی برعکس است:
دین «زاییده بی‌رحمی» نیست —
بلکه پاسخ روانی-فرهنگی انسان به خشونت و شکنندگی است.

داده‌های پساجنگ در اوگاندا، سیرالئون و تاجیکستان:
هرچه مواجهه با خشونت جنگی بیشتر → مشارکت دینی بیشتر

2/You can’t turn the public against one another and then promise tax cuts. Tax cuts on what income, exactly?
At that point, all that remains is EI and the distant hope of UBI.

Thread: Distraction politics
1/ Politics is rarely elegant, but it becomes truly ugly when it trades on fear between people. That strategy erodes trust—the very foundation any social system depends on.

[Masuma Behzad @BehzadMasuma]

2/ Policy shifts—higher H-1B fees and new restrictions on certain countries—are not administrative noise. They’re intentional design.
A tighter entry pipeline is forming, signalling a new and more unequal phase of capitalism.

AI is reparameterizing the labour model of American capitalism.

1/ For decades, the U.S. relied on migrant workers to meet its labour demands — but AI is now redefining that foundation.

Peace is not merely the absence of war, but the presence of law, of a government; it has been almost 11months that Taliban retook control & still not accepted on the world stage. Restricting girls access to school is a decision based on their personal interpretation of Sharia.

[Heather Barr @heatherbarr1]

What happens when a generation of girls is shut out of school?

Nearly a year after the Taliban seized control in Afghanistan, hear from Afghan women about what education means to them — and what will be lost without it. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

[Masuma Behzad @BehzadMasuma]

@Toghko Fully agree! need to be treated/ reported professionally, whether a journalist, a researcher or critic

[Masuma Behzad @BehzadMasuma]

Women spoke out of horrific tales of being forced to marry Taliban fighters. #Balkhab

[Niamat Ibrahimi @IbrahimiNiamat]

Continuing reports of Taliban atrocities in #Balkhab, including summary and extrajudicial killings of Hazara civilians and, according to this eyewitness interviewed by Hasht-e Sobh, forced marriage of young women with Taliban fighters.

دقت کرده‌اید اکثر داشته‌های باارزش‌ِ انسان ارزان بدست می‌آیند؟ مثلا: بینایی، شنوایی، خانواده… ولی اگر از دست بروند دیگر قادر نیستیم بخریم‌شان.

فردی که به شینزو آبه شلیک کرد و او را کشت، اسلحه‌اش را خودش در خانه‌اش ساخته بود.

در جاپان/��اپن حتی اگر بخواهی قاتل باشی باید چیزی را اختراع کنی یا بسازی.

The #Taleban can hold as many Jirgas as they want to - as long as they don’t invite women, these events have no legitimacy.

It’s not an ideology but a fact, women make up half of #Afghanistan.

با خامنه‌ای موافقم

[ايران اينترن��نال @IranIntl]

علی خامنه‌ای روز سه‌شنبه در حمله‌ای دوباره به فضای مجازی گفت: «امنیت روانی از جمله حقوق عمومی مردم است. امنیت روانی یعنی هر روز یک شایعه‌، دروغ، یک حرف هراس‌افکننده‌ در ذهن‌ها پخش نشود. تا دیروز فقط روزنامه‌ها بودند که این کارها را می‌کردند، حالا فضای مجازی هم اضافه شده است.»

An once again’s Taliban massacre based on ethnicity in 2022. #EXTRAJudicial #Balkhab

[UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett @SR_Afghanistan]

Disturbing reports of #extrajudicial killings, civ displacement, property destruction & other #humanrights abuses in #Balkhab District. Regrettably verification hampered by info blackout, internet cut & denial of access to media & HR monitors. All parties must respect #IHRL & IHL

An example of why we shouldn’t Support A woman only based on her gender!
Today In US women lost their 100+ years of Fight for their right !
