Despite ongoing protest of human rights defenders and politicians from aggrieved provinces, #EnforcedDisappearances have increased in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Gilgit-Baltistan and even in Pak administered Kashmir. This #thread will compile the cases. End impunity.
They just want us to feel bad about ourselves. And to reinforce the sexist notion that a woman’s worth must be measured by her looks. Rest assured, looking pretty to THEM is not our job. We are all pretty. We are all precious. Our thoughts, our opinions matter. Jis ko pasand…
Youthia accounts constantly telling me how ugly I look , just because I stated some facts. I’m a self confessed , middle aged , mid looking , bechari type housewife. What do you want to prove by attacking my looks?
Israelis begin speaking out against the slaughter of children in Gaza: “We have been silent for too long. It is our duty to stop the slaughter.” nytimes.com/2025/07/28/wor…
سیکیورٹی فورسز نے پہلی بار جھوٹا دعویٰ نہیں کیا۔ خڑقمرُکو بھول گئے آپ؟ اس کے بعد بی بارہا یہی سکرپٹ دہرایا جا چکا ہے۔ پھر چاہے خیبر پختونخواہ ہو یا بلوچستان، یہی کہانی دہرائی جا رہی ہے عرصہ دراز سے۔
تیراہ واقعہ اپڈیٹ ! 8 سال کی بچی(ایمن ولد اجمل خان ) سکنہ بالا باغ قوم ذخہ خیل مارٹر گولہ لگنے سے جاں بحق ہوئی تو اس کی لاش لے کر مقامی لوگ احتجاج کرنے نکلے اور پھر ایک خونچکاں سانحہ پیش آیا! سیکورٹی فورسز ذرائع اور مقامی لوگوں کی رائے متضاد ھے۔
That he is not an immigrant Muslim as was claimed. Will the alt-right influencers retract that propaganda? Ummm yeah right!
This is Bradford James Gilley. He is the suspect just charged with terrorism after allegedly stabbing 11 people at a Traverse City, Michigan Walmart. What do you notice?
Just finished watching @mehdirhasan debating 20 ultra ultra far far far-right conservatives. Man, if I were a sexist, I'd say you got some serious cojones. I mean, I would’ve lost my cool in the first 3 minutes. It was a bit hypertensive, but so eye-opening as well. I couldn't…
Clumsy. Insufferably incoherent, unimpressive. That's what Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 was at the @AtlanticCouncil. What would it take for Pakistan’s elites to think beyond their circle (the size smaller than salmon eggs) of oligarchs when making key appointments like FM?
Why the U.S. Designated TRF: Diplomatic Fallout, FATF Pressure, and Pakistan’s Balancing Act On July 17, 2025, the United States designated The Resistance Front (TRF) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). This move came months…
وفاقی وزیر داخلہ صاحب آپ سوال کیوں کر رہے ہیں ؟؟ آپ کے پاس ثبوت ہیں تو قوم کے سامنے لائیں اور اس صوبائی عہدیدار کے خلاف کارروائی کریں ۔۔۔ اب آپ صحافی نہیں رہے جناب ۔۔۔
ایک اہم صوبائی عہدےدار ڈیرہ اسماعیل خان میں طالبان کو کتنے پیسے ہر ماہ دیتا ہے ؟
Just keep counting how your misleading, judgemental words that mentioned that the victims weren't married (it can be a court investigation, not chief executive statement) @BBhuttoZardari here's another case of #honorkilling as an aftershock after CM PC 👇 dawn.com/news/amp/19258…
And since we're finally supposed to believe that our courts are upholding "justice", what punishments are dictators getting for trampling the constitution? Will there be posthumous sentencing for Ayub, Yahya, Zia, Musharraf? Or those who are still alive and rigged elections?
What kind of “justice” Pakistan’s justices are dispensing really? Ten years' sentence to #PTI leaders Dr Yasmeen Rashid & others. Previously, Hassaan Niazi among others got 15 years. For what??? Making speeches? These are the kind of judgments that discredit judiciary.
This
Sardar Latif Khosa is an opportunist who endorses Blasphemy Business Group's demands for protection from a judicial commission investigation whilst pretending to care about Baloch missing persons Religious bigots can NEVER be allies of the Baloch people. NEVER
Capitol Hill attackers were “punished” after a transparent due process and irrefutable evidence of their involvement in the attack. I'm not aware of such an evidencece against many of the PTI leaders including Dr Yameen Rashid.
Capitol Hill attackers were punished too without any gender biases. The valid objection that one must raise is why Khadija Shah wasn’t punished. The only difference b/w the two is that one represent the super elite class of Generals and other is from bloody civilians masses. 🙏

It took just 24 hours for the Indian media to go from “big moment in Indo-US relations” to “Pakistan is America’s ladla (blue-eyed)”. Context: Friday: US designates TRF as a terror outfit Saturday: President Trump reiterates his role in the Pak-India ceasefire & 5 jets downed.

In this follow-up to our episode on violence during the Kanwar Yatra, Unraveled with Marvi Sirmed takes a wider lens on how India’s temples and pilgrimages are being politicized for ideological gain. From the demolition of Babri Masjid to the grand spectacle of the Ram Mandir…
Just learned that Punjab’s iconic figure and legendary marathonist, Fauja Singh ji, has passed away after a hit-and-run accident. Aged 114 years, he never stopped inspiring. May you rest in eternal peace, sir. Amen.
This is being done to prevent Kashmiris from marking the 94th anniversary of the July 13, 1931, Martyrs Day. Political leaders across #Kashmir including the Indian administered J&K chief minister have now been placed under house arrest.
Chief Minster Omar Abdullah, Dr Farooq, and several MLAs visited Mazar-e-Shuhada to pay tributes. Senior NC leader Sakina Itoo spotted arriving on a scooty. @JKNC_ @OmarAbdullah @OfficeOfLGJandK
