Umar Khalid’s brilliant PhD thesis has just been published as a book. It is a rigorously researched and richly readable history of Adivasis in Chotanagpur. May his cruel incarceration end soon, and Dr Khalid write more fine works of historical scholarship.

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

At the 2024 DNC, Uncommitted delegates requested to have American doctors who served in Gaza address delegates at the convention about their experiences. The DNC and campaign officials said no. Now a doctor who served in Gaza is headed to Congress.

Pro-Palestine prisoner Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old with muscular dystrophy, has been dragging himself across his prison cell floor because he has been denied a wheelchair.

He hasn't had access to a shower for over 20 weeks.

He has been waiting for a neurology appointment for over 12 weeks while experiencing chest pain and breathlessness.

This is happening in a British prison right now.

I've written to David Lammy to demand answers:

Mira Nair is making a film with Dal Gadot and I feel Twitter should be angry about it.

Eid al-Adha commemorates total devotion. Total sacrifice. These pillars of my faith inform my politics; it's why I'm a democratic socialist.

That’s the standard I hold myself to —for this community, every single day.

Eid Mubarak 🤍

i don’t think we talk enough about how secularism in the west has produced a spiritually bankrupt people and “nation” that worships idols

i’ve been waiting to read about the deplorable condition of workers in these mines…has anyone written about it?

[Rubab @rubabbx]

Every grain of Himalayan pink salt sold in the world comes from one place.

Pakistan.

Specifically from a mine in Punjab that was discovered 2,350 years ago when Alexander the Great's horses started licking rocks during a rest stop.

Khewra Salt Mine. The second largest salt mine on earth. Its deposits formed 540 to 800 million years ago when a prehistoric sea evaporated inside what would become the mountains of Pakistan.

Alexander's army was marching through in 326 BC. The horses stopped and licked the ground. The soldiers tasted the rocks. Salt.

The greatest accidental discovery in the history of food.

The Mughals mined it. The Sikhs refined it. The British modernised it in 1872 building tunnels still in use today.

Today it stretches 110 square kilometres. 12 stories. 6 underground. 6.687 billion tons of salt reserves remaining. Producing 350,000 tons every year.

Inside its tunnels craftsmen have carved a mosque from salt bricks that still holds prayers. A replica of the Great Wall of China in pink salt. A glowing crystal Sheesh Mahal chamber. An underground lake that reflects pink light off salt walls.

250,000 visitors every year walk through mountains that have been slowly becoming the world's most famous salt for 800 million years.

All of it in Pakistan.

Discovered by a horse.

Used by the world.

Pakistan. 🇵🇰

sorry but sanam saeed is not dark toned in any way shape or form lol

[Sahar @ustaanijee]

I love Sanam saeed for so many reasons but the most important one is that she was the first dark skin toned actress I saw on Pakistani television as a kid and as someone who was always bullied for her skin tone, I am so happy she is at international platform representing Pakistan

[Zorawar Daulet Singh @Z_DauletSingh]

A regime change because a Pakistani leader attempted an independent foreign policy.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is beyond horrifying.

New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.

Among them:

• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5

That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.

Israel isn’t “defending itself.”

It is wiping out Palestinian life.

the new middlebrow podcast with @mcmansionhell is very enjoyable. many of the points raised feel salient to menswear — deskilling in the trades, rise of bad taste because an uneducated customer goes wild with options, poptimism vs cultural criticism, etc

This is the glorious Inea Bushnaq. A folklorist and oral historian, she in part descends from the Bosnians who found a home in Tulkarm, Caesarea and elsewhere in the 1880s. https://t.co/7wNvBEF070

in what museum will these cultural artifacts be kept and preserved in pakistan?

[Sikandar Ali Hullio @HullioSikandar]

The United States returned today over 450 stolen cultural artifacts to Pakistan worth $23 million, describing them as some of the earliest human-crafted representations that offer insights into some of the region’s first settled communities.
