"Here’s a number that should embarrass a functioning democracy: @newslaundry and @thenewsminute have had over 250 hearings over the years. 250. Read that again. And going to court over and over again is exhausting. It takes money, time, and a lot of emotional energy. For news platforms, you’re not just supporting our #journalism, you’re supporting our right to exist"- @AbhinandanSekhr
Morality, fairness, and justice were the unwritten critical conditions to follow for people in power since the early days of civilisation. Even if they didn’t follow them, they made efforts that history remembers them as the good guys who tried.
And then sometime in the last two decades (after a century of dabbling with the idea) a new set of kings arrived who said - what if we choose to be openly immoral, unjust, and even vile. What could go wrong (for us)?
And nothing did - in fact their powers, mandates, and evilness kept on increasing. They don’t care about history or the written word documenting their deeds - in fact have an active disdain for it. Both history and future are just tools to their agenda - of accumulating more power in the present.
And the most fascinating paradox hidden in this choice is that these kings have proudly made religion and their own religious identities as the central argument to their position.
Religion - a way of life that above all surmises that actions have consequences (even for Gods) - being used by people who firmly believe in zero consequences. These kings, more than even the godless atheists, know there are no gods, no afterlife, no rebirths, and no punishment here or anywhere else.
Nihilist power-grabbers have taken over the world while the common believers are left to deal with the consequences.
It’s not just the end of ethics, it’s the end of the biggest lure of the religions itself - that in the end, there’s justice. It’s the end of religion.

A denial is not an answer.
Why are the Education Minister and CBSE unable to answer the four simple questions I have asked?
The future of 18.5 lakh students have been put in jeopardy. They deserve the truth.
A Brahmin student being called a 'Pakistani' by Modi Bhakts shocked and rightfully hurt many people across ideological lines, including several from the Right Wing itself. Because suddenly, people realised how dehumanising that label is.
But for years now, countless Indian Muslims especially those who speak up or question the government or criticise the PM are casually branded 'Pakistanis' or 'Bangladeshis' or a 'Rohingya'.
Our loyalty is questioned, our identity is regularly mocked, our citizenship treated as conditional.
And the society has normalised it so much that most people don’t even react anymore.
An insult that rightfully outraged people when used against a Brahmin student is thrown at Muslims every single day without guilt or an outrage, or without any consequences. No Indian should have to constantly prove they belong to their own country.
All thanks to the Media and the Politicians for Normalising this Hate against Indian Muslims.
Modi asked you to eat less oil, skip gold, work from home.
Sitharaman told you to eat out less and watch your expenses.
BJP IT Cell told you “India is the fastest growing economy.”
Meanwhile, Indian Express’s Udit Misra just filed the autopsy report:
🔴 Rupee: ₹86 → ₹96 in ONE year. Quietly.
🔴 Net FDI gone NEGATIVE; Indians building factories abroad because they don’t trust this government’s economy
🔴 BOTH current account AND capital account in deficit; simultaneously. First time. Ever.
🔴 Per capita income = ₹20,000/month. MOST Indians earn below even that.
🔴 Exports? Almost stagnant and flat; after 12 years of “make in India”,
And Misra confirmed, the government KNEW this for 2 years. They hid it during elections. The call only came once votes were counted.
This isn’t bad luck. This isn’t Iran. This isn’t Trump.
This is what 12 years of suit-boot economics, crony capitalism, and GDP optics actually looks like underneath.
Rahul Gandhi called it in July 2025: “Indian economy is DEAD.”
The Indian Express just put the post-mortem report on the table.
They didn’t mismanage the economy.
They HID the mismanagement from you; until after you voted.
That’s not incompetence. That’s a betrayal. 🇮🇳 💔
In Paris, I met an Iraqi diplomat who asked me with sincere curiosity-
"India is doing so well, you have a space program, a growing economy, so much to be happy about, why are your hearts getting smaller?"
It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.
In the West Bank since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have:
Killed 1,071 Palestinians
Demolished 6,000+ homes
Built 200+ illegal outposts
No more U.S. military aid to Israel.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
Shoutout to South Korea. Their guy tried to pull a Trump. Both sides shut him down and started impeachment proceedings within 24 hours.
Gangsta democracy.
BREAKING🚨
America will no longer support Israel in its attempt to ethnically cleanse and steal the Palestinians land.
U.S ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas calls for 2 resolutions to be met immediately.
Resolution 2735 calls for an immediate ceasefire and handover of hostages. Israel must leave the Gaza territories and allow the reconstruction of Gaza.
Resolution 2720 calls for the borders to be opened and full humanitarian aid to enter.
America had previously voted against these resolutions…🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸

a reporter asks Chomsky if he believes Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. He responds: No, the actual terrorists are the US and Israel, and the only reason Hezbollah is labelled as such by the Western media and political class is because they dare resist their genocidal mania
