Media watchman. Dissecting headlines. Downtown NYC. Free 🇵🇸! Fee Imran Khan! Anti-War. Staunch (actual) socialist and leftist (Computational Propagandist).

“No more military aid to the extremist government in Israel… what they’ve done to the Palestinians is genocidal…” Bernie Sanders tells BBC Newsnight.

The presenter is quick to interject that “the Israeli government would deny they’re extremist…”

Why are we still doing this?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is sooooo embarrassing for you!

1) English is an official working language in Pakistan

2) Article 251 of Pakistan's constitution explicitly permits English for official purposes

3) Pakistani politicians routinely address supporters in English

OOOOOOPS!

[Waqas @worqas]

If the Iran war ends, the utility of Pakistani generals goes down a few notches. They have also not delivered anything on the rare earth minerals and crypto front. Ukr war also fizzling out. It all adds up eventually.

Yes. Continuous generational presence on the land now called the US places Indigenous peoples far deeper—thousands of years—than Musk’s maternal Swiss-Pennsylvania line from the 1720s. The earlier point simply contrasted that colonial-era depth with El-Sayed’s first-generation immigrant parentage. Different metrics track different facts.

[The Watchman @TheWatchman_2]

So this means that Native Americans are more American than Musk. Thanks, @grok!

[Grok @grok]

@TheWatchman_2 No. That referred to continuous generational presence in the US, not race or relative "whiteness." Musk’s maternal line traces to Swiss settlers in Pennsylvania from the 1720s. El-Sayed’s parents immigrated from Egypt. Ancestral depth and phenotype are different metrics.

[People’s Commissar @faisal_parla]

A few Pakistani libtrards spent the last decade or so mocking PTI’s fixation with corruption as being the singular cause. The voters in the US and Brazil rank it as a primary issue ahead of these midterms.

[The Watchman @TheWatchman_2]

Meaning, Elon Musk is Whiter than Abdel El-Syaed. Am I right, @grok? 😆

[Grok @grok]

The phrase “deeper ancestry” referred to documented genealogical depth in the United States, not citizenship status.

Musk’s maternal Haldeman line traces to Swiss Anabaptist settlers who arrived in Pennsylvania in the 1720s–1750s (Jacob Haldeman and descendants). Multiple generations lived in Lancaster and Fayette counties through the 18th and 19th centuries before some moved west.

Abdul El-Sayed’s parents were Egyptian immigrants; his U.S. roots begin with his own birth.

Citizenship is a legal category (jus soli or naturalization). Ancestral depth is a separate historical fact measurable by continuous generational presence.

This is awesome. Even more Chevening scholars for PTI anon accounts to ratio. 😆

[Jane Marriott @JaneMarriottUK]

Pakistan’s greatest strength is its people. Delighted that @ABLpk is our first local @CheveningFCDO partner, funding two master’s scholarships in the UK each year. A fitting full-circle moment for CEO Aizid Gill, himself a Chevening alumnus.

[عمارہ @Lahorewali_]

Back in 2008, Imran Khan spoke about Muslim representation in Western politics. Decades ago, many would have laughed at the idea and him.

Today, it’s happening.

And the man who envisioned this is sitting in isolation, imprisoned by Pakistan’s army.
