Gaza is a 'textbook genocide'. This is according to Raz Segal - an Israeli associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University in the US. Listen carefully to what he says. It's based on facts, law and precedent - and it should terrify you.

Priyanka Chopra’s concern for Iranian women is hugely appreciated, but her silence on Bilkis Bano and the state enabled persecution of Muslims, especially marginalised women in her home country, India is worth introspection ?

The travesty of this loss- did covid kill them or the system? A broken system overseen by a regime more concerned with hubris than humanity. "Their parents were dying of covid in India. For 12 frantic days, two sisters tried to save them."

Hard to celebrate or wish Eid Mubarak. Palestine weighing on the heart. Not to mention Kashmir, Rohingya, Hazaras, & more. But I hope you did hold ur family close if ur lucky enough to be able to. Draw love & strength to face the hate & the long struggle ahead. We're here to stay
