During the raid, authorities seized Sammi’s laptop, family valuables, court documents, educational certificates and her mother’s jewelry. Most sickening of all, they took the only photograph Sammi and Mehlab had with their father. Seventeen years after his enforced disappearance, they robbed his daughters of the only tangible memory they still had. Words fail to describe the depravity of our rulers.
Join us on Sunday June 28th at 3pm at DuPont Circle in Washington DC to call upon Pakistani authorities to overturn these unjust convictions and to protect constitutional rights of its citizens
Great Wildlife News from Pakistan
After many years, confirmed sighting of a massive Himalayan Brown Bear at 14000 ft ASL in Khunjerab National Park GB , right next to wildlife staff hut (my home in KNP)
We'll now need to take care of Brown Bears alongside Snow Leopards at KNP
Excited to FINALLY release toughest+most rewarding paper I've worked on...
….we attack a 150 year old Walras question that's gone unanswered, not for lack of trying (Hicks, Samuelson, Arrow; our chances?😱)...
Q: Is the market equilibrium stable or unstable?¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Sometimes snipers fired warning shots at people close to the line, he said, but commanders told troops to do more to protect themselves. The soldier understood that to mean firing more lethal shots."
“There was a general feeling that human lives are not valuable,” he said.
In Gaza, all men of military age were deemed legitimate targets.
“And military age is really open to interpretation,” said Jonathan.
“It could be from 16 to 60 or even younger...Most of the people that my unit killed were not armed.”
A settler attacked a mother, her child, and their dog in their home in Masafer Yatta in a horrifying scene during the first days of Eid. Settler violence is not isolated — it is enabled by government support and international complicity
Hazaras have a myth where Imam Ali came to Afghanistan, converted us to Islam, closed a dam (Band Amir) and killed the four dragons of Hazarajat.
Here are some miniatures of Imam Ali killing the dragons of Khorasan (source: Khavaranname)
روشن خیال بلاول بھٹو کا سندھ: محبت کی شادی کے جرم میں جیکب آباد کے پورے گاوں کو سزا۔ سرداروں کے جرگے نے گاؤں جلانے کا فیصلہ کیا، تھانہ صرف 2 کلومیٹر دور لیکن 68 گھر، پرائمری سکول سب جلا دیا گیا۔ حملہ آور گیس سلنڈروں سے چھتیں اڑاتے گئے۔مقدمہ صرف 32 کے خلاف، 10 گرفتار لیکن انکی بھی ضمانت ہو گئی۔ ریاض سہیل @RiazSangi کی دل دہلا دینے والی رپورٹ

In Khairpur another 25 children and two doctor staff have tested positive for HIV.
In Larkana, eight children are being treated for advanced HIV.
The more testing we do the more we will find out. The more we can save people and put them on life saving ARTs.
Three channels explain the gap, all concentrating in wealthy applicants: legacy preferences, recruited athletes, and non-academic ratings (extracurriculars, recommendations). My read is that "holistic review" is doing real work here, just not the work its advocates advertise.
What you don’t know is that she is a critically-acclaimed musician from Pakistan’s elite social classes with a Grammy and more wealth and assets than any white or Black regular in Bed-Stuy (local or transplant). These divisive, reductionist takes come easy to elites for a reason.
There are 1.2 MILLION legal immigrants waiting for approval on their adjustment of status green card applications. And USCIS says we're not processing you. We're taking your money to pay for our new police force. Thanks. GTFO.
Because in science, not admitting an error you noticed is way worse than making one. Trust thrives when people are open and honest about mistakes. Literally nobody is flawless, but the collective system of science works.
In about one hour, I will be arraigned on 4 felony counts and face up to 30 years in prison for taking this little guy out of a Ridglan cage.
In addition to charging me, the government has banned me from contacting my co-defendants and is now trying to undermine my right to a speedy trial.
But every corrupt and unconstitutional act by the government will simply make our case even stronger. We press forward to defend the right to rescue—and to defend the tens of thousands of other dogs (and billions of other animals) who remain trapped in cruel cages.
Most importantly, we defend James. Every time I come home, he jumps in my lap and begs to be picked up. It was the first place he ever felt safe. Rescuing him was not a crime. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I relish the opportunity to defend rescuing James in court.
