You might not know that Israel killed a 4-year-old boy today in Gaza, because there’s so little coverage. A 4-year-old…That’s how you normalize killing children.

Tens of thousands protest in New Delhi, led by Rahul Gandhi, demanding the resignation of India’s chief election commissioner over alleged voter list manipulation. Protesters accuse the Election Commission of removing more than 130 million names, a claim it rejects.

"Preferential democracy" is what we are calling apartheid and Jim Crow nowadays?
Aaron David Miller (@aarondmiller2) profile pictureAaron David Miller@aarondmiller2Oct 29
Israel is a preferential democracy. And figuring out how to integrate 2 million Palestinian citizens is critical to a Jewish democratic state. The JL may be bridge too far Gadi. Though look at Bibi’s buddies - Smotrich and Ben Gvir.

UN Commissioner Chris Sidoti on children's deaths in Gaza: "Her preexisting conditition was not what caused her death. Children don't die from celiac disease. She died because of starvation as a direct result of the siege"

These are violent times. Still nothing prepared us for the two classroom horrors. Have been criticised for running down Kabir Singhs & Animals. Restating that my point is about not about portrayal of misogyny but its celebration, not about toxic characters but their glorification

A kindergarten bombed. We repeat, a kindergarten was bombed in Gaza. Yesterday, on October 30th, the Saftawi area in Western Gaza City, the military occupation bombed a school building. This also impacted many Palestinians tents and homes. Emergency response needed: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… Families in the area lost everything yet their faith in God and his decree remain unshakeable. But no human on earth should tolerate this unfathomable level of loss, over and over again. The Sameer Project is looking to help some of the families affected with your support. We are hoping to get mattresses and blankets for families that lost all of their belongings. The insanity of families still being bombed when the international media is depicting a “ceasefire” is clear. It is our duty to rise and demand an end to the genocide. Support our General Fund to help families impacted by the ongoing bombings: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…

STOP calling it "Indonesia's fires." Call it what it is: Palm oil companies torching one of Earth's largest carbon reservoirs to clear land for free. 2M hectares gone. And counting.

We dont shame influencers enough who take paid political campaigns from BJP. There is a lot of hate on 'godi media', but somehow influencers escape this.

Jamia student leaders Zeeshan and Faizan are finally out of Tihar Jail. The police tried to crush the Students’ Union movement by jailing its leaders. But the students won their demand. The leaders are free and Union is Loading. Jamia’s student democracy has prevailed!
