The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.
This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).
This means that the battle lines have been moved.
Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.
But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.
This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

Hindutva has no consistent core belief - it’s just about dominance over the Other.
In Gujarat, they will keep prohibition, for Hindu religious and cultural reasons but on a tiny almost wholly Muslim region, they insist on alcohol sales
Dear Indian Muslims GenZ,
Abhijeet Dipke (Chockroach Janta Party) is calling for protests, DO NOT JOIN. Not even close.
Do not go near the airport.
Donot show up. Do not even think about it.
Keep a full 10-kilometer distance.
This is a trap designed to destroy your future.
They will use you as cannon fodder, click pictures, get their headlines & vanish while you rot in jail, your education, career & life completely finished.
This is Hindutva ki Sarkar, the majority’s government. Let majority fight their own revolution.
Let them take the heat. Your fight is not on the streets today. Your fight is survival, excellence, and building power for tomorrow. Don’t be fools. Don’t get provoked. Don’t become their useful idiots.
Stay home. Stay smart. Stay safe. Protect your future like your life depends on it, because it does.

@MagneticNorse What is worse is that they don’t really “need” fresh water, but freshwater is preferred because its impact to the hardware is the most predictable as compared to waste or recycled water.
For some levels of additional cost, almost any water can be used.
@shivaXdrives People are supposed to over take on the right, and then be back to the cruising lane even if they are doing the speed limit.
No one has have the right to “safety car” the highway traffic and limit the speed the others are driving at.

As an Iranian woman who lived in Iran for 19 years, I grew up wanting to become a surgeon. I never once heard in Iran that surgery was “for men.” Ironically, the first time I heard certain STEM fields or specialties being treated as more suitable for men was after moving to the United States.
Being this uninformed is surprising, Alice. It is irresponsible, unprofessional, and dehumanizing toward Iranian women. We are far more capable than what you see on your Twitter feed.
Iran has serious issues involving women’s rights and legal restrictions, but presenting Iranian women as secluded figures who are barely allowed outside is a caricature closer to Taliban Afghanistan than reality.
Iranian women are educated, visible, and active across society. The World Bank reports female youth literacy in Iran at about 99% for ages 15 to 24, which directly contradicts the image of women isolated from education or public life.
According to the World Bank Gender Data Portal, women’s formal labor-force participation in Iran is low, around 13 to 14%, while men’s is around 67%. That gender gap is real. But labor-force participation only measures paid work or active job-seeking. Research also suggests women’s informal, family-based, agricultural, and unpaid work may be undercounted. Using that number to portray Iranian women as secluded or invisible locked up in their homes is misleading.
If you want to discuss life for Iranian women, talk about how sanctions affect access to cancer diagnosis and treatment, including breast cancer care, since breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting Iranian women. Talk about how sanctions restrict livelihoods, increase economic pressure, and make it harder for men and women to find adequate jobs and build stable lives.
Iranian women are strong and have spent decades fighting for themselves while building careers, movements, and communities. Reducing them to helpless, voiceless figures is ridiculous and unforgivable.

The theatre of the privileged: can’t cook, can’t clean, can’t manage kids, can’t drive, can’t walk the dog… and now apparently can’t carry shopping bags either.
The availability of cheap labor in India has created an entire class of adults without basic life skills.
BJP cannot be defeated because the majority likes what they are doing to Muslim minorities, and the media is too busy bending over backwards for the ruling party to show anyone the true picture.
BJP cannot be defeated electorally unless there is an active and vigorous opposition in the first place.
Cockroach Janta Party is a moment of SHAME for all the opposition parties.
It shows massive anger and frustration that people have with BJP, but opposition has been thoroughly INCOMPETENT and unable to capture it.
Why?
Because these parties have become PERSONAL FIEFDOMS of their leaders. No dynamism, no new faces, no connection with the youth and how they live.
The trouble with Cockroach Janta Party is that it lacks complex organisational roots, building which itself is a task, and unless CJP has that, my hope from it as a real political force is limited.
But it can surely help in augmenting accountability from the ruling elites.
