i was speaking to a lovely older french woman whose doctor wants her to quit cigarettes and she said “without cigarettes i am no longer human, they want me to be an animal”
They tried to bury him in the shadows of history, but Patrice Lumumba remains the eternal captain of Congolese dignity

An historical Tamil Nadu Assembly adorned by the Great Arignar Anna, Muthamizh Kalaignar , turned into an Personal Audio Launch speech stage is a new low for this state.
We dont want to hear your cringey mannerisms and your kutti stories CM sir. Keep that as a personal performance for your fans.
His Ministers told CM will answer on the questions of Power Cut, Ammonia Leak disaster and the Law and Order situation of the state. But the CM answered NOTHING related to the same.
This is where decades of “anything to be called business friendly” rhetoric has got us.
Zero product quality, zero safety standards, zero worker protection.

Huge story. @thehindu's @pv_srividya examines farmers' charges that Tata's iPhone factory is discharging effluents into their farmlands -- and finds worrying details + a coverup. https://t.co/mxQITynhGx
PS: Why is this story only in the Tamil Nadu edition, @thehindu?
narendra modi's two favourite billionaires are building India's AI future.
adani has announced $100 billion in AI infrastructure. reliance is investing billions more. they call it development. but development for whom?
india has 18% of the world's population but only 4% of its water resources. yet data centres are projected to consume around 150 billion litres of water this year alone, rising sharply by 2030.
india is already one of the most water-stressed countries on earth. mumbai, chennai, hyderabad, bengaluru—cities already struggling with water scarcity are now expected to host an explosion of water-hungry data centres.
adani is becoming the landlord of India's AI future. western tech companies get their cloud empires. billionaires get richer. ordinary indians get the heat, the water stress, and the environmental damage.

Archives | Keshav Kunj is the perfect metaphor for what the RSS is today: immense in scale and ambition, but built to evade scrutiny. Through interviews with various Sangh officials, members of its affiliates, local residents and scholars—as well as by perusing court judgments and archival documents— @singhamritaa was able to piece together a compelling picture of how the RSS acquires and controls land through temple trusts and its wide network of financiers.
But the granular details of the project’s funders, what exactly happens inside and what laws it could be held accountable under were harder to pin down. This happens to be a feature and not a bug related to investigations into the RSS, an organisation that shapeshifts at its own convenience.

I disagree that we are in a "New Cold War".
Rather, we are in a continuation of what we might call the Long Cold War, or the Great Anti-Sovereignty War, which has been waged by the imperial core against liberation movements and sovereign-seeking states in the periphery that have sought to break from their subordination and exploitation within the imperialist world-system.
The Long Cold War encompasses Western attacks against the Russian revolution and the Chinese revolution, through the long series of invasions and regime-change operations that targeted Korea, Guatemala, the DRC, Brazil, Ghana, Indonesia, Vietnam, Chile, Burkina Faso, etc, continuing well beyond the fall of the USSR with the invasions of Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc., all the way to the strangulation of Cuba and the invasions of Venezuela and Iran in 2026.
As I see it, the usual claim that the Cold War runs from 1945-1991 doesn't work, the periodisation is wrong. The core states sought to destroy the USSR as soon as it was founded, long before 1945, and in any case their violence was never only just against the USSR, or just against USSR-aligned states, nor even just against socialism; it was fought against any sovereign-seeking state in the periphery - including non-aligned states - that threatened to escape the imperial arrangement.
The Long Cold War is, in other words, an imperialist backlash against the long struggle for liberation in the periphery. This aggression didn't end in 1991, it continues today, and it will continue well into the 21st century until it is defeated. And defeated it will be.
