"The press does many things and serves many functions but its major role, its irreducible responsibility, is to continually recreate a view of reality supportive of existing social and economic class power.” -Michael Parenti (1933-2026)

Displacing people from their homes in the peak of winter without providing adequate shelter/assistance is completely inhumane. #Tirah

#OnThisDay in 1944 Angela Davis was born in Birmingham, Alabama. A leading voice of Black liberation, feminism, and prison abolition, she continues to shape debates on racism, capitalism, and intersectional justice worldwide.

There is a clear choice here: to condemn the huge atrocities perpetrated by pindi top command or to condemn the overly harsh language of its critics. if one chooses to do the former rather than later, that is extremely problematic.

Update: IndiaToday deleted their post on Instagram. Good thing I took screenshots.

کالے بادل، چڑھتی ندیا، ڈوبتی بستی، گھائِل لوگ پھر بھی سپنے دیکھ رہے ہیں، بھولے، سادہ، جاہل لوگ

An insightful analysis by Farieha Aziz of the draconian PECA and the sham trial of Adocate Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha .

اب واقعی کچھ بھی نہیں کہنا چاہیے ۔۔۔!!

How cruel is a justice system where a judge’s son crushing 2 girls under a land cruiser gets a pardon but tweeting in anger against injustice gets you 10 years in jail May god have mercy over the eventual fate of this nation

The situation in Tirah valley is a complete and utter human rights violation. A military operation has displaced thousands who are now dying of cold, hunger and suffering from frostbite.

Umar Cheema Umar Bhai, maybe it’s time to put your excellent investigative skills to comment on the sham trial Imaan & Hadi were made to go through, including the legal arrest and bogus FIRs. That would be a better use of your journalism skills, no? Digging 9 year old tweets is too easy.

Parveen Rahman, Sabeen Mahmud were genuinely such absolute rays of sunshine They had 🌻 energy, kindness, warmth All the while being so wise Yet in this ugly, evil society, they were assassinated Govt's insane overreach should worry you, even if you disagree with activists

یہ کس گزٹ میں لکھا ہے کہ قبائل سردی کے عین عروج پر شدید برفباری کے بیچم بیچ ہجرت شروع کرتے ہیں؟

Tribal Areas opposed operations because they wanted clarity, not because they support TTP. Displacement impoverishes them by losing what little they have. They didn’t trust an undisclosed plan. And they aren’t wrong, look at Tirah - what they are getting is press conferences.

یہ ہیں پارلیمنٹ میں بیٹھے ہوئے معزز مذہبی رہنما کی ذہنی پستی کا عالم

Saeed Ullah Khan دراصل ہماری بدقسمتی ہے کہ آپ جیسے لوگ مذہبی رہنماؤں کے طور پر ہم پر مسلط ہیں

Heard a chilling thing from a bureaucrat who doesn't respond to media queries. "PECA-sheeka laga dunga, bas," he said. Reporters stuck. No one answers their Qs. Gag orders on bureaucracy. They do story and take names and risk defamation accusations. Aslam Shah case effect.

I know many friends in my close circle—bright minds—who were earning a so-called handsome salary of more than 5 lac. They are now in this list of people who left the country last year, saying, “ItnaaTax katnay ke baad kuch bachta hi nahi, aur phir inflation.” High tax on salaried

Ameen!

Welcome to the federal constitutional court!!!
