Rare amid darkness when voices of integrity, conscience & dissent are crushed
A moment like this when institutions stand up for true justice
A senior court wipes the taint on #Prabir who led a progressive news portal & fought lifelong for a just society
Why was he jailed 6 months

Australia is more than happy to take the good PR for granting members of the Iranian women's national team asylum. But more of you? Nope! Sorry! We're closed! No refugees, we're full! Even if you're not refugees, we don't want you!

On this day, 95 years ago, Bhagat Singh and his comrades from HSRA, Sukhdev and Rajguru, were hanged to death by the British empire for daring to demolish the yoke of British imperialism and for envisioning a world without oppression.

We've reached a point where Israeli attacks on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran have become so normalized they are reported in western media as if they are part of the natural order of the universe.

Omar Barghouti: "Some in the solidarity movement have expressed genocide fatigue & hopelessness.. as Nadeem Aslam says, 'despair has to be earned. I personally have not done all I can to change things. I haven't yet earned the right to despair'"

India truly the hub of moral, ideological, and systemic failure where every new startup hinges on faster production of cheap service labour and fortifying its middle class as cushy, exploitative middleman while the wealthy bleed the country dry.

After Supriya Shrinate & Rajdeep Sardesai shared photos of mass burial of school kids in Iran, pro-BJP influencer Shashank Shekhar Jha rushed in with a fact check, claiming the images were from Indonesia. Jha's fact check is completely false. @prantik_ali

The terrorist Israeli Army is forcebly displacing Lebanese people from Dahiyeh, the Southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon. At least 217 people have been killed & civilian areas targeted.

Forced displacement & collective punishments are war crimes

Sally Rooney: "I would like to ask my fellow writers & artists.. not to dwell too exclusively on what we stand to lose. There is another more important side to the story. To join in something greater than ourselves, to participate in.. a struggle for human liberation"

"We have no messages from India. You can ask them" - Iran's Ambassador to India.

The ship was in India by invitation. They were torpedoed by the Americans. Sri Lanka responded to the distress call. 83 drowned. India hasn’t said a word. Totally shameless.

2000 days of Umar Khalid in jail without trial. Do you remember?

[Jordy Silverstein @jordana_s_]

deeply awful and deeply racist. we know exactly what these laws will do and the harms they will perpetrate. shame upon shame for everyone involved in this.

Indian People in Solidarity with Palestine (IPSP) and BDS in India organised a protest demonstration outside the Reliance Trends outlet in Secunderabad, Hyderabad, on 21 February against its complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

A historically obscene moment.

India, once a leading voice of anti-imperial solidarity, now capitulating before a ruthless settler-colonial project *as it actively commits a genocide* - and with visible enthusiasm, no less.

Compromised PMs is how legacies die.

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.
