So many people have personally responded to my story stating how it's biased. Honestly, I am not surprised to see how people who have never visited these border areas think just because Muslims live there, they are infiltrators.

Very important report by @tarunzero

[newslaundry @newslaundry]

Since Thursday last week, hundreds of contractual workers blockaded the main road next to the NSEZ metro station in Noida. They stood in the sun demanding one thing: a minimum wage of Rs 20,000.

As LPG prices surge amid the Iran war, Delhi’s most vulnerable are paying the price.

Migrant workers earning ₹500–₹800 a day say cooking gas has become unaffordable triggering a migrant worker exodus.

The #WestAsia conflict is already affecting India's economy. CarbonCopy's ground report across 4 states found that small eateries risks closure due to LPG shortages, MSMEs facing raw material shortage, and production slowdown.

Thermobaric bombs dropped on Gaza which create temperatures up to 3,000 Celsius and are supposed to be banned under international law were used to vaporise nearly 3,000 Palestinians. Vaporise. We're dealing with world-historical evil

dialectical materialism is confirmed by literally every scientific discovery as the only consistent method of understanding reality and can only ever be "refuted" by religion or superstition. a scientist who is not a communist is a living contradiction.

REST IN POWER, MICHAEL PARENTI (1933–2026)

Tragic news that Michael Parenti passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family, at the age of 92.

One of the most influential anti imperialist thinkers in the United States, Parenti spent decades exposing how power actually works beneath the language of democracy, development, and humanitarianism. In this 1986 lecture at the University of Colorado Boulder, he dismantles the myth that foreign aid is about helping people.

Parenti argued that foreign aid functions as a subsidy for empire, transferring wealth from ordinary people in the Global North to elites in the Global South who protect multinational interests. Drawing on economists like Kenneth Boulding and Thorstein Veblen, he highlighted the missing class dimension, that those who profit from imperial investments are not the ones who pay the costs of maintaining them.

He pointed to the Philippines, Cuba before the revolution, and British ruled India to show a recurring pattern. Infrastructure was built for plantations and exports while entire communities were left without roads, clinics, or schools. Aid money, he argued, props up private corporations and funds police and military forces whose real role is suppressing impoverished populations.

His message was blunt and remains urgent. Empire benefits a small elite and devastates everyone else. Without class analysis the conversation is baby talk. With it the machinery of empire becomes impossible to deny.

Rest in Power, Parenti. You taught us so much.

“Why did the Palestinians initiate this on Oct 7?” Max Blumenthal (Jew):

“They didn’t. This war has been going on for 75 years. Israel initiated it in 1948 by ethnically cleansing 750,000 people.”

Reporter: Do you envision the U.S. Military having a presence in Venezuela as the U.S. Runs that country? 

Trump: We are going to have a presence in Venezuela as it pertains to oil. We are going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground… It goes also to the US in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The unbearable "unprotectedness" of childhood under Israel's cruel military rule. Same brutality for generations.

And some pretend to believe "it all started in Oct 2023", and even call it "a war".

High-handed action. Can nation’s security be threatened by a couple of kids sloganeering? Must give it to Indian police for frivolizing such serious provisions.

When PR and profit trump public interest, govt spends more on ads than on welfare schemes.

But that's not why we became journalists.

So, as ad rates rise by 26%, we thought it's only fair to slash our subscription price by the same.
