BREAKING : Spainish 🇪🇸 PM Pedro Sánchez has removed the Spain ambassador to Israel as a protest to attack on Iran school girls

What a leader, What a human being 🫡

Spine so strong he refuses to bow down 🔥

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Today, the world’s largest human rights group shared a detailed statement on how Israel’s ONGOING GENOCIDE is impacting Palestinian women. It didn’t generate a single headline in Western media.

Because why would this be newsworthy?

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Despite the way it presents itself, U.S. news media is not separate from the state - it is deeply tied to American state power. And this is why it won’t hold the cruelties of American power to real account in the way journalism demands it must be done.

Instead, the US news media does the bidding of the state and passes it off as ‘difficult choices’ for the betterment of the union.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

No.

This framing is meant to cast doubt on the most basic principles of international law and sovereignty. Stop asking questions when you know the answer @nytimes.

1. Didn't know elected members of an opposing party were abducted and coerced into forming a forward block to have the mayor elected in New York like in Karachi.

2. Zohran ran for freezing rent, not demolishing thousands of houses in the name of cleaning nullahs, promising alternative accommodation but giving none.

3. Zohran ran for free buses, not burying citizens under unreasonably high Challans in a city while major arteries are dug up for buses but projects remain incomplete for years, major crossings blocked and many signals malfunctioning.

4. Zohran campaigned for freeing taxi drivers from debt. In Karachi Green Line workers are without salaries since months. Even employees in essential sectors like health suffer. House Officers of KMDC/Abbasi Shaheed for years get stipends only after Court petitions. Many remain unpaid after 10 months of service.

5. Zohran ran for city-owned stores with controlled prices for perishables. In Sindh over 13.7 million wheat bags rotted in Govt warehouses, while millions more went missing, costing billions.

6. Zohran wanted to make food carts more affordable by helping food cart runners own their licenses. Here in Karachi rather than regulating carts and hawkers through licenses we regulate them through bhattas and beats and later demolish everything in the name of encroachment.

7. Buildings and malls go up in flames but without any technical or fire department report being made public about integrity and safety of surviving structure, they’re given a facelift and reopened for business and accomodation.

8. Sindh Building Control Authority remains inefficient and corrupt, waiting for buildings to collapse and people to die before surveys.

9. When was the last time amenity plots were allotted in Karachi for Schools or Universities? The biggest school networks operate from houses built for residences as the city lacks a designated education district.

10. Zohran ran a campaign appealing to collective humanity and compassion and eliminating differences. Here every critique of PPP is deliberately labelled as bias against Sindhis by its social media team, inciting ethnic hatred.

11. Your party holds the Presidency, CM office and majority mayoral offices in Sindh yet devolution of powers remains a dream as UC Chairmen’s powers are limited and despite Mayor being Chairman of KWSB, its budget is controlled by ministries.

12. Zohran wants to regulate industries involving animals like horse carriages to ensure humane treatment. In Karachi, the Mayor keeps native and exotic animals trapped in small dirty cages, claiming they’re cheap entertainment.

13. In the first 7 months of this year at least 169 people lost their lives in crashes with heavy vehicles—63 by trailers, 37 by tankers, 34 by dumpers, 35 by buses—while rules for vehicle fitness were amended but remain unenforced.

14. Beautifying parks with affordable facilities for citizens is encouraged, but commercialising them with facilities only the middle class can afford is privatization and gentrification of public space.

15. Police continue custodial torture, deaths and fake encounters without reform. Sindh Police has failed to implement its own law by failing to make Public Safety and Police Complaints Commissions functional.

16. Whether Zohran delivers or not remains to be seen. But your party has ruled Sindh since 2008, controlling major municipal functions of Karachi through KWSB and SWMB for over a decade—and failed.

“Palestine is the litmus test.”

Speaking to Middle East Eye, Palestinian American comedian and author Amer Zahr explained how Zohran Mamdani’s New York mayoral campaign illustrated how Palestine has become a measure of political values

[Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir @ImaanZHazir]

I am present in Judge Afzal Majoka’s court where I have repeatedly requested him to read and explain the charge to me. He has flatly refused and begun recording of evidence without charge being framed and my plea.

@AdvHadiali has filed a complaint in MIT against the Judge for misconduct in connection with illegal order forfeiting his bail bonds and issuing his arrest warrant (for appearance) while he was present in court.

This is not an independent or impartial court but a party to the case. The bias is clear and this Judge should no longer hear this case.

This is a sham trial.

the kindest possible female ruler suddenly goes mad and abandons everything they stood for just so the show can uplift the male mc as the most righteous

There is no moral difference between putting people in gas chambers and burning people in safe zones inside tents.

A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.

[Atiya @bhumrobhumro]

men in corporate events will say there s a gender war and they re so becharay next to the women they work with, meanwhile the gender war is an entire decimation of women and girls by educational and law and order institutions

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

They’ve been burning men, women and children alive for a year. Last night wasn’t an anomaly, it was just captured so explicitly on camera.

The Israelis & Americans have been incinerating, shredding, crushing and gunning down entire families for over a year.

[Uzair Younus عُزیر یُونس @UzairYounus]

Many folks commenting on 🇧🇩 ask “when will 🇵🇰 rise up like this?”

What they don’t recognize is that Pakistanis from Gwadar to Bannu have been agitating for months now.

But they are on the periphery and don’t count as being part of “Pakistan proper” as @rafiullahkakar calls it.

[Nazmul Ahasan @the_nazmul]

A day after euphoria-driven mayhem, Bangladeshi youth cleaned up around the national parliament, other major buildings and even helped manage traffic in the absence of police. Reflects the enormous confidence and hope in what they’ve just achieved.

[Maria Amir 🍉 @Beentherella]

Zionists prove every single day that they are a different breed of hatefully deranged humans. A children’s book glorifying bombing and genocide as ‘bravery’.

[Fariha A. @fariha_ab1]

If you voted for PTI bcz you wanted to bring the boys to their knees then more power to you, I hope you win.

But if you voted for them bcz you think IK is some visionary, principled, uncompromising leader, tu phir bhai ye dekh 🙏🏽

[Maryam @EmmeJays]

Halfway through The Covenant and just one question: Why exactly did this story need to be told? So bad. So beneath Gyllenhaal and Ritchie. Dar Salim, though, is the only saving grace

[Alena Sadiq @AlenaSadiq]

Six weeks on, no new passport because no new policy. Despite repeated assurances, the Interior Ministry hasn’t taken any action. In 2023, the Pakistani state still requires women to have their husbands’ names on all their identification documents. 1/4
