'I was told I’d be killed if I didn’t leave': As India heads to elections this week we visited Uttarakhand, a state that has become a testing ground for some of the most extreme Hindutva politics under the BJP

I stand corrected - it’s not every week that Germany does a “hold my beer” on its own commitment to violate basic freedom of expression in order to support genocide.

It is every DAY.

A small segment of the truth about Israel’s genocide that Germany would want to be silenced and untold.

The endless disgrace of it all.

Now in a free-access platform - Andy Mukherjee excellent piece on why Election Commission of India can no longer dodge the question of reliability of #EVM if the fundamental tenet that every vote counts equally is to remain true any longer deccanherald.com/opinion/indias…

Kudos to Mondoweiss for gathering the testimonies of the Shifa Hospital massacre and painting a picture of the horrors that unfolded.

Hands down one of the most horrific articles I have ever read.

Endless barbarism.

Like I said:

Working rund um die fucking uhr to disgrace itself while standing firmly on the side of the genocidaires.

Every fucking week, it seems, Germany does a “hold my beer” on its own commitment to violating academic freedom in order to support Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Pathetic. Shameful. Ridiculous. Tragic.

It was fantastic to host 3 brilliant speakers at the first CASA-IGDC webinar with 𝗔𝗹𝗳 𝗚𝘂𝗻𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗡𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗻 today. Discussions touched on indigenous rights to land in relation to militarization, colonial cartography, co-optation and law as a radical space to enact change.

Human remains surfaced amongst the ruins of al-Shifa after Israeli forces withdrew on 1 April. The bodies of those killed during this invasion have been bulldozed and makeshift burial grounds—including a mass grave—have been desecrated. In Gaza today, even the dead are not safe.

An excellent, eviscerating piece. Do read.

First of three events in Delhi, two on last book and one on new/forthcoming book. Excited.
