The other day I stumbled upon this pin at a flea market in Mexico.

It resembles a flamenco dancer’s fan, and in the center is what looks like Arabic - but not quite...

It's Pseudo-Arabic!

An unexpected legacy of Islamic rule that made its way to Mexico. A thread...

This is a war crime.

Where is the international outrage and condemnation?

Where are the calls for sanctions?

Or are those strictly reserved for Ukraine?

[Human Rights Commission of Pakistan @HRCP87]

HRCP is deeply concerned by reports that lawyer and activist @MJibranNasir has been abducted by unknown armed persons in Karachi. We demand that he be safely recovered immediately and his abductors held accountable under the law.

For years, Pashtun and Baloch activists who chanted “Yeh jo dehshat-gardi hai iss ke peechay wardi hai” were silenced through torture, abduction & fabricated cases. Now this slogan is being raised by supporters of a party that the military backed until recently. Poetic justice

[Ammar Ali Jan @ammaralijan]

Prime Ministers can be arrested but land grabbers like Malik Riaz cannot even be named. Pakistan is a state of the land mafia, by the land mafia, and for the land mafia.

[Ayesha Siddiqa @iamthedrifter]

because he is a hand that feeds all - the military, the PPPP, PMLN, PTI, JUIF, etc, etc

Friends in Malir - Ghanch Colony - have said they haven’t received water in 2 years. Malir River - once abundant in fruits and vegetables is being bulldozed over for Malir expressway, sand mined beyond recognition and drained for DHA. Climate Justice starts at home!

📽️Farha is now available on Netflix.

An excellent film based on true events that portrays the perspective of one young girl who survived the #Nakba.

It is but one story.. one story among thousands that our people continue to carry, and continue to live through, until this day.

[Nousheen Zaidi @Nosheen_Z]

~81% of the children & ~52% of the women visiting @Haqooq_e_Khalq health camps at Shadipura display hypochromic microcytic anemia that is caused by lead toxicity. The water supply in Shadipura contains high levels of lead.

A thread of Pakistani films banned in Pakistan:

[Neha Mankani @Nehamanks]

Untrained birth attendants in Pakistan use vetarinary oxytocin to induce and augment labor and for abortions. This 50ml vial they say is cheaper and stronger than ampules. "I put one vial a night in my pocket and it lasts me a few deliveries"

[Zuhaib Ahmed Pirzada @zuhaib_pirzada]

Those who campaign and propagate dams and diversions upstream should at-least know what they have done to lower-stream and its indigenous people.

My in-depth report for @TFT_.

@drshahbazcheema There is an increasing number of such incidents taking place in Lahore. Thank God your nephew escaped. The CCPO Lahore's statement is irresponsible. You dont get views on such news you idiots! The fact that he is brushing it under the carpet can mean alot of other things.

Oct 3: Based on our estimates, total damages from the 2022 floods in 🇵🇰 are estimated at $9.5bn, with an additional $12.5bn required for reconstruction efforts.

This brings the total financial damages and reconstruction costs estimate to $22.2bn.

[Umair Javed @umairjav]

These schemes are even more blatantly investor-focused since agri land is much cheaper around small cities and return from plotting will be higher. Will have the twin effect of making residential land more expensive for small city dwellers + ruin agri land at a faster pace.

[DecolonizePalestine @DecolonizePS]

40 years have passed, but we have not forgotten. On this day in 1982, a massacre was carried out by Zionist and Lebanese Phalangist forces in the Palestinian refugee camps of #SabraAndShatila. Thousands were dragged out of their homes and killed.

[Nida Kirmani @NidaKirmani]

White countries colonise black & brown people all over the world, literally enslave millions & profit from their free labour, pump billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere in their search for endless profits, & somehow countries in the Global South are the ones in debt!
