In this article for the South China Morning Post @SCMPNews , I discuss the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan in relation to the ways in which it will embolden and increase anti-women narratives in Pakistan.

Genuinely terrified. This is only escalating hour by hour.

Reading the NYTimes can restore your faith in God. Pagers explode without anyone detonating them. Bombs fall without anyone dropping them. Bullets pierce people without anyone shooting them. Subhanallah.

Have been watching the footage and news out of the UK with a sense of disbelief. As someone on here said, we’ve been hearing for months about how UK Jews don’t feel safe to walk outside because of anti-genocide protestors and when we have actual lynch mobs going against Muslims, we find silence & impunity.

This past week has proven how unsafe the UK is for its own population & how deep the rot of anti-Muslim hatred goes, how acceptable it is globally.

210+ people killed to rescue 4 people.

That’s an eye for an eye in western justice terms.

Violence against Israelis is “horrific” — but violence against Palestinians isn’t. What’s going on?

@SanaSaeed explores how moralizing language strips Palestinians of their humanity while upholding the humanity of Israelis.

Just look at the smug banal evil on their wretched faces

I’m so grateful to you all.- the conversation on twitter is bold, clear and critical about 295C like never before. This is a moment - so keep up the momentum. Please download videos https://t.co/NJGWw3hR65 upload on your profiles (insta/fb/twitterblue/WhatsApp). Decentralise it

KLF platforming a Zionist (and disinviting only after outrage) and LLF describing Israel's genocidal campaign against Palestinians as "the widening war in the Middle East & the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict" is really on brand for how hollow & shallow these gatherings are

you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, and then you realise you are menstruating.

On one side was the deep state, absurd verdicts from the courts, relentless police brutality, the re-laundered class of 1985, and their boomer cheerleaders in the press.

On the other was some kid voting for baingan.

Piece today, on the big upset:

[Ali Usman Qasmi @AU_Qasmi]

Imran Khan's voters have pulled off a miracle. Their top leadership incarcerated, workers subjected to harassment, party denied of its electoral symbol, no one to canvas, hold rallies or even set up camps on polling day; yet they have emerged as the single largest party.

[Faizan. @thoraoffbeat]

badami casually saying about a constituency "mujhe nahi lagta yahan koi bhi number uppar neechay kiye hein. yahan sirf naam badal diye hein. iske vote usse, uske isse" 🤣🤣

[AK @AzamAKhan2]

Moments like these do give you glimmers of hope over the future of the country. Moments where the word resilient doesn't make my stomach churn.

Don't take it away man.

[Salaar Khan @Brainmasalaar]

A man whose greatest achievements as PM were how many frequent flyer miles he racked up and how many kids he debated. Who believed access to a thesaurus was a suitable substitute for a popular mandate. A footnote in history masquerading as a headline.

Good riddance.

Is the PMLN finished in Punjab? Wow. The establishment's political re-engineering of its own political engineering going horribly horribly wrong.
