I just started a substack called "The Subcontinentalists"--a stack-cum-archive of South Asian political thought. Take a look if you want:

This is what a holocaust looks like.

BREAKING: The Islamabad High Court has de-listed Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha’s suspension of sentence appeals that were going to be heard on 4 June. No new date has been set. Today the couple completes 130 days in Adiala Jail for tweeting; how utterly shameful.

18-year-old gang rape victim dies during botched abortion in Lahore.

The girl (a domestic helper) was allegedly subjected to gang rape by the son and driver of her employer in Model Town.

An extremely powerful letter by @mohammedhanif written to Junaid Hafeez who has been behind bars for 13 years. Despite flaws in his trial, his appeal has been held up for the past 6 years. Shame on all those responsible for his prolonged suffering. https://t.co/JPcl0B5ZOW

What has Cuba ever done to the United States? Except refuse to bow down and take a knee?

The US must end their brutal, sadistic blockade.

The murder of Baloch intellectuals is not just an unfortunate outcome of conflict. It is deliberate & systematic. Professor Ghamkhar Hayat is only the latest in a long line. Thoughts & prayers for his loved ones & students.

[Rae @ragefighthouse]

I’m an immigrant who’s lived and worked in the UK for 16 years. I have a North American accent and I’m white.

I’ve never once been told to ‘go back’ to my ‘shithole country’ or to ‘stop stealing jobs from British people’.

You’re not concerned about immigration. You’re racist.

[Alifya Sohail @AlifyaSohail]

Professor Ghamkhwar Hayat was placed on the Fourth Schedule by the govt of Balochistan. Those vowing justice for the martyred academic today had already declared him suspect; and failed to prevent his daylight murder by ‘unknown assailants’ despite constant surveillance.

Israel killed 657 people in Lebanon DURING A CEASEFIRE

For the first time in the history of the Great City of New York, its Mayor names and remembers the Nakba. And I get to be alive to see it.

Honestly, women can literally do all these things but we weren’t officially *allowed* to do most of them until like the 1970s - did you guys not like history at school or something

[Alifya Sohail @AlifyaSohail]

She has achieved more than that. The demolition of 300 year old settlements, bulldozing 13k homes, displacing 40k people, arresting 50+ villagers for protesting the CDA, etc.

[Afiya Shehrbano Zia @afiyaszia]

Wendy Lower's ‘Hitler's Furies,’ studies Nazi women as active perpetrators, & intimacy as weapon. IDF soldiers killing children then singing, cross dressing, comedy skits on rubble follows a precise pattern, it stops being figure of speech & demands clinical psychological study.

[Ammar Rashid @AmmarRashidT]

Psychotic to award honors to bureaucrats for the achievement of making 1000s of working class people homeless. Have met weeping mothers who spoke of how she ripped up court orders & laughed in their faces as their homes were razed. Development as dispossession institutionalized.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

I hate when capitalists are like “but under communism people will have to do jobs they don’t want to do” as if all the people currently working 80 hours a week at three different fast food restaurants are doing it for the love of the game.

[Lina Abu Akleh @LinaAbuAkleh]

Today marks four years since my aunt, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin.
An iconic journalist, and one of the most empathetic and sweetest people. This is who they killed. She loved life, but they stole hers from her.

[Usama Khilji @UsamaKhilji]

100+ prominent Pakistanis & organisations demand that the federal government not oppose @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali’s request for bail & suspension of sentence before the Supreme Court of Pakistan tomorrow 12th May

Many people can’t grasp that school is supposed to be the BEGINNING of your education. The pursuit of knowledge doesn’t end at graduation, and you will be poorly informed indeed if you’re not learning history & reading great books in your adult life.
