In the same neighborhood, built-up area of the 100+ yr old village settlement of Shahpur lies just outside the flood zone, but several planned housing schemes are fully exposed.

Farmers knew the river well and these developers ignored it.

I can’t wait for a debate between Zohran, Sliwa, and Eric Adams. A face-off between an unstoppable force, an immovable object, and both parts of Rush Hour in one guy

Not only are girls & women regularly murdered just for daring to be confident & happy, men will also line up to dance on their graves. #sanayousaf

Bhagat Singh and his comrades were martyred today. They hanged him to death but his ideas and vision will always be with us. His faith in a plural, socialist and secular India was never as relevant as it is today. Sharing an earlier post as a tribute to his revolutionary legacy.

Famed historian K.K. Aziz was commissioned by Z.A. Bhutto to document the events leading to Bangladesh's creation. His 2000-page manuscript was never published—until now.

1/ For over a decade, I've been chasing the story of Iggy Fernandes, the greatest guitarist from Karachi you'd never heard of.

He played left-handed, in the 70s & 80s, died tragically at 27 and came with that rockstar name: How can you not get obsessed?

Undocumented immigrants deserve dignity not because of how their labor serves you and this country, but because we are human beings. But that seems hard to understand in a society that values people based on their productivity.

[Asad🗽🍎 @AsadFromNYC]

Look what I dug up! An 1897 news report on plans to build a mosque in Manhattan (a year before Manhattan and Brooklyn became one city), led by one Hassan Ben Ali, “an Americanized Arab who has lived in New York for many years.”

He reported 600 Muslims in Manhattan at the time.

The war will end. The leaders will shake hands. The old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son. That girl will wait for her beloved husband. Those children will wait for their hero father. I don’t know who sold our homeland but I saw who paid the price.

@chiryabehen Can confirm it's great to not marry a P********

[Ruqaiya @ruqaiya_h]

It’s a strange thing to cry for a stranger but I cried upon hearing the news. He was more than a statistic. He showed us everything good in this world, the honour of Islam, surrounded by the most evil.
May Allah accept his martyrdom, truly these must be the people of jannah
