Israeli soldiers executed a group of Palestinians lying face down in a field today.

But you would never know that from this headline which doesn’t even mention ISRAEL.

Meet ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan 🔥

He issued an arrest warrant against 🇮🇱Netanyahu for the Gaza genocide.

He was threatened over the Israel cases.

🇺🇸 12 U.S. senators sent a letter saying, “Go after 🇮🇱 Israel and we will go after you and your family.”

Then came sanctions, frozen accounts, and travel bans.

Then ICC members voted him out over alleged sexual misconduct without any evidence.

This man has now lost everything just because he was on the right side of history.

What courage this man has. He is earning massive respect worldwide for his spine 💪 🫡

This is shocking!
Five Muslim Students returning to Jamia area from Jantar Mantar were detained by the police near @jmiu_official and taken to the police station. Social activist Zeba Khan @zeba_kh_an and the reporter Afzal Alam @afzalalamjmi chased the police vehicle and freed all the Students.
Hello @DelhiPolice, Why were they detained, is it a crime to participate in Jantar Mantar protest?
Why are young Students from the Jamia area being treated like criminals just for participating in the protest?

இந்த கதையெல்லாம் எடுபடாது. RTO, Taluk, Sub-Registrar அலுவலகங்களில், நேரடியாக வாங்கினால் மாட்டிக்கொள்வோம் என்பதால், புரோக்கர்களின் G-pay அக்கௌன்ட் மூலமாக வசூல் செய்கிறார்கள். கடந்த மாதம் அப்படி ஒரு road inspector புரோக்கர்கள் மூலமாக வசூலித்த லஞ்சப்பண கட்டுகளை எடுத்துக்கொண்டு செங்கோட்டை ரயில் நிலையம் வழியாக தப்பிக்க முயன்றார். அவரை DVAC புளியரை checkpostக்கு காலரை பிடித்து தூக்கிக்கொண்டு வந்து லஞ்சப்பணத்தை பிடுங்கியது.

Dear Chief Justice, first you called youth cockroaches, parasites. Then said you don't have time to watch police brutality. Now you say there was no petition before you. You don't need petitions. Any CJI worth his salt would've taken suo motu cognizance on Day 1. That's the oath

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez Delivered the Biggest Shock to Trump 🔥

🇪🇸 Pedro: "The same Trump who slashed $18 billion from global health aid has spent over $40 billion on a foolish 🇮🇷 Iran war and now he’s trying to school Spain. 🔥🔥

Spain’s stance is simple: we defend common sense. We will invest in our people’s welfare, not in an illegal war."

Pedro is currently the most popular leader in Europe thanks to his backbone. 🔥👏

Israel’s crimes have been so normalized that Doctors Without Borders can post about colleagues being shot in their tents and it’s not even a news story.

Sachin Tendulkar has finally spoken on the student protests, and I had to read his note twice: once as a fan and once as an editor. The fan was disappointed, but the editor realised that this was a textbook specimen of the kind of writing that George Orwell warned about in his essay “Politics and the English Language”.

The essay was written in 1946, but it might well have been written yesterday about this very statement. Orwell’s point was that when people want to hide something, they stop using plain words and reach instead for the passive voice, for fog, for phrases that sound like they mean something while meaning nothing at all.

Consider the line, where students are disappointed that “their hard work hasn’t been rewarded”. Rewarded by whom, and denied by whom? There was a paper leak, which means somebody leaked it, some institution failed to prevent it, and an official presides over that institution. Yet none of them appears in the statement, and neither does the leak itself. A crime with identifiable custodians has been turned into something that simply happened to lakhs of children through nobody's fault.

Then comes the list of those who must set things right: parents, teachers, friends, relatives, schools and administrators. If you read that list again slowly, you will notice it covers everyone in India except the people the students are actually protesting against, which is to say the NTA, the education ministry and the government. When everyone is responsible, nobody is, and that is not an accident of drafting. It was engineered to deflect blame.

There is also a quiet sentence buried in the middle. “A society which prioritises outcomes over effort will seek shortcuts over meritocracy” is a line about those who take shortcuts, meaning the cheat. So a note on protests around paper leaks ends up gently lecturing the leaked-upon about honesty. His father’s lovely lesson—that failure is okay but cheating is not—is again aimed squarely at individuals, while the scandal and protests right now are about institutions that failed them.

The rest of the statement is what Orwell called ready-made strips of words, glued together. Full of dreams and energy, fuel to our success, safeguard their aspirations. Nobody can disagree with any of it, which is precisely the point, for this is prose engineered so that no one in power will find a single sentence to object to.

What an actual position would have looked like is a single sentence in the active voice: The government must find and punish those who leaked the paper, and fix the system that allowed it. He wrote 160+ words to avoid writing that one.

Here’s Orwell’s full essay for those interested:

Dear fellow Indians,

The news coming in is very disturbing and I am hoping it's wrong.

Mohd Junaid, our hero, who has been selflessly serving food and water to the protestors at Jantar Mantar is being harrassed by Sanghis.

UP Police has raided Junaid’s house and taken his father and minor brother into custody.

Please raise your voice. We can't let this happen.

This is pure Sanghi vileness and desperation.

[Dr. Thusiyan Nandakumar @Thusi_Kumar]

If this is what they did while a white Norwegian tourist was watching, what happened when no one was?

July 1983. Eli Skarstein was on holiday in Colombo with her 15-year-old daughter. She watched a mob stop a minibus, pour petrol over it and hold the doors shut. Around twenty Tamils burned to death inside.

Colombo was still burning when they flew out. Women, children and the elderly slaughtered in the street.

What Skarstein saw was not the worst of it.

It was just one part that was witnessed.

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ AND SHARE.

Police, CRPF, and RAF personnel deployed around the Jantar Mantar protests have been asked to remove their name tags.

This is not a small thing. Removing a name tag is illegal. It exists for one reason — so that a police officer can be identified. If an officer engages in unlawful brutality and nobody can identify him, no action can ever be taken against him. Anonymity enables police excesses.

The Supreme Court settled this long ago. In D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal, the Court directed that police personnel must wear accurate, visible and clear identification and name tags with their designations. Concealing them is a violation of a binding direction of the Supreme Court.

So we have set up a website to report it.

If you see a police officer, CRPF or RAF personnel without a name tag:
1. Take their picture
2. Upload it on the website
3. Every single one will be sent to the Delhi Police Commissioner and the DG CRPF, with a demand for an explanation

The law applies to everyone. It applies to the police too. Modi-Shah cannot be allowed to run the police as their personal mafia.

Statement : The blocking of BitChat's code on GitHub is unconstitutional and authoritarian.

New Delhi, 24 July 2026

The Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) condemns the order issued by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs, directing GitHub to remove the code repositories of BitChat.

The order, Notice No. 11072601011432, was issued at 11:16 pm on 23 July 2026 under Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 read with Rule 3(1)(d) of the IT Rules, 2021. The order directs GitHub to disable access to three repositories, including the Android application and its release files, within three hours. It threatens the platform with loss of safe harbour and criminal prosecution. No copy was published by the Government of India. The public learnt of it from a post by @jack, whose team develops BitChat. Censorship in India now comes to light through disclosure by the censored.

Since 17 July 2026, the Ministry of Home Affairs has suspended mobile internet around Jantar Mantar as per public reports about five times, most recently within a 1.5 kilometre radius from 4 pm until midnight on 23 July. That radius takes in Janpath and parts of Connaught Place. Reports describe signal jammers at the protest site and people walking two kilometres before their phones work. Inside that zone a student separated from her group during a detention drive cannot send a message to say where she is. Thousands of students and young people have camped at Jantar Mantar since June, seeking accountability for examination irregularities. Permission for their march to Parliament was refused. Metro stations were shut and also internet connectivity has been blocked.

BitChat is an open source application built for exactly this situation. It passes messages from phone to phone over Bluetooth, without mobile networks or a central server. It is striking that the order does not identify a single unlawful message. It objects to what BitChat is. In its own words, the application is dangerous because it enables communication "even during network restrictions" and can "circumvent lawful restrictions" during "internet shutdowns". Hence, the government's objection is that citizens can speak to one another while it has switched the internet off.

The order is illegal on at least four grounds.

1. Section 79(3)(b) is not a blocking power. In Shreya Singhal v. Union of India (2015) 5 SCC 1, the Supreme Court read down the provision. Intermediaries may be required to act only on a court order, or a government notification confined to the grounds under Article 19(2) of the Constitution. Blocking is governed exclusively by Section 69A and the Blocking Rules, 2009, which require a hearing and reasons recorded in writing, subject to review. Directions issued under Section 79(3)(b), Rule 3(1)(d) and the Sahyog Portal evade these safeguards, and constitutional challenges to this parallel regime are pending before High Courts.

2. The reasons in the order are circular. The order asserts that the repositories contain "information which is prohibited under any law" without naming any such information, and rests on what the application is "capable of" enabling. Anticipated misuse of a communications tool is not a lawful basis to prohibit the tool. By this logic a telephone exchange could be sealed.

3. The order cites Section 43 of the IT Act, a civil compensation provision, alongside conspiracy and abetment offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, against a platform that hosts code.

4. A three hour deadline issued close to midnight forecloses legal assessment and recourse, and fails the proportionality standard in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India (2020) 3 SCC 637.

The order also fails on its own terms as deleting a repository does not delete the application from any phone that carries it, and the mesh keeps functioning without servers. What the takedown actually prevents is scrutiny of the underlying code.

IFF demands that the Government of India:

1. Withdraw Notice No. 11072601011432 dated 23 July 2026 issued to GitHub.
2. Publish every takedown direction issued under Section 79(3)(b), Rule 3(1)(d) and the Sahyog Portal, with the reasons recorded for each.
3. Restore full connectivity around Jantar Mantar, publish all suspension orders, and disclose the legal authority for the deployment of jammers.

We stand with the developers and the young protesters whose speech this order seeks to silence.

[Kawalpreet Kaur @kawalpreetdu]

By what law does the Delhi Police claim the power to randomly stop people, detain them for hours, photograph them, demand Aadhaar, collect social media handles, inspect phone galleries, and question them about attending #JantarMantar protests? Police are empowered to enforce the law and Not to conduct fishing expeditions into citizens' private lives and assume the role of certifying citizenship. We deserve to know exactly which provision authorises them to do what they have been doing on the ground since past three days in Delhi.

When Police were trying to detain a student

A media person slapped the student for no reason

Other youth & students noticed it, intervened & thrashed the Media person for hitting the student

This is the condition of Media in India, they deserve every bit of Humiliation!
