A family lost their seven-generation home in Islamabad after being forced out, as the city hosts peace talks. Read @areebafatima.bsky.social’s piece on how authorities in Islamabad demolished homes just days after high-stakes talks between the US and Iran. Read here: zeteo.com/p/iran-diplo...

“There is no reason to don a tuxedo and celebrate this racist wannabe tyrant. There is nothing to be gained by showing up to the dinner with the hopes of offering any small act of protest. Members of the industry should skip the event instead” - from Zeteo

@ryangrim.bsky.social and @darioamodei.bsky.social once shared an anti-war conviction. Their divergent paths since make me wonder: what if Amodei, who opposed the Iraq invasion and wrote evocatively about public apathy toward it, had chosen journalism instead? www.dropsitenews.com/p/house-war-...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Some news: In an attempt to convey supposed transparency, the Pentagon told me that Pete Hegseth has granted anonymous background interviews on Venezuela to some "mainstream media outlets"—all while the Trump admin trashes anonymous sourcing. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/pentagon-p...

Drop Site spoke with Eliza, 27, a Brooklyn resident who held up a photo of 5-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab throughout the event. Eliza said she supports Mayor Zohran Mamdani but wanted to make clear that political victories should not eclipse the genocide unfolding in Gaza. Holding the image, she said, was also a way to confront what she described as avoidance by media and elected officials, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders. “We shouldn’t really be celebrating during a genocide,” she said, pointing to the violence Palestinians continue to endure.

So first they ban VPNs then the people move to Bluesky and now they've banned that and you need to use a VPN (which is banned) to access Bluesky (also banned) bec you were formerly on X, which was banned right after mobile internet was shut down to allow for electoral fraud. Right.

That’s because on social media, The People (with a capital P) dictate what matters. That's why you may see something real here. Daily establishment humiliation aside, what scared them is the 24/7 live feed of proof that The People are fighting against their tyranny in words, courts, streets

So pathetic to write an editorial on Gaza and make it about Biden's legacy and not about the fact that even at this stage the international community is not considering invading Israel and taking its nuclear weapons away but having these silly UN kitty parties on whether to call it a genocide.

اگر آپ ٹی آر پی کے گھٹیے کھیل کو دیکھنا چاہتے ہیں تو پاکستانی میڈیا سے بڑی مثال نہیں ملے گی۔ پورے ملک کی خبریں صرف تین شہروں کے لحاظ سے چلتی ہیں - اسلام آباد، لاہور اور کراچی۔ کیوں؟ کیونکہ ٹی آر پی میٹرز صرف ان شہروں میں ہیں۔ یعنی 15% آبادی 100% نیوز کوریج کنٹرول کرتی ہے۔
