They claim to be going after Malik Riaz. But land grabs are still happening. DHAs & Bahria Towns are still being built. No court will stop them. Instead, millions of katchi abadi dwellers are once again facing arbitrary evictions in the name of the law.

Pakistan's colonial policy towards Gilgit-Baltistan continues unabated. After eighty years without political rights & ecocide in the name of 'development' & tourism, Hunza is subject to 22 hours of daily loadshedding. All power to the struggle of sons & daughters of GB's soil.

Generals & their lackeys make billions in the name of national security while working people smuggle themselves out of the country to become wage slaves in faraway lands. Most of them never make it. Khaki Raj is literally sending our youth into the abyss.

PTI has again shown it controls the streets in mainland Pakistan. Its popularity has grown due to the manipulation & violence of the hybrid plus regime. Calling it a 'mob' creates a mandate for repression. Khaki Raj is the problem. It must be condemned to the dustbin of history.

The world’s people aren’t aghast at Trump’s victory. They are aghast that the ‘alternative’ was a liberal imperialism sponsoring genocidal wars & relentless dispossession around the globe. In America & beyond, the far right feasts on the bankruptcy of the liberal establishment.

This is how the Pakistani state - and parties like PPP - responds to progressives who speak the language of peace. They criminalise us because we resist the politics of hate while giving free license to those who weaponise religion. #SindhRawadariMarch

This is Lebanon. Israel has killed more than 500 innocents in 24hrs. This after murdering more than 300,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Biden-Harris continue to fund mass murder. And they have the gall to claim their liberal imperialism is better than Trumpism.

Brutalise an entire people, create conditions for insurgency, then cry ‘terrorism’ to justify further militarisation. Khaki hegemony depends on perpetual violence & chaos. To be anti-establishment is to have total clarity on the Baloch national question.

Millions of youth working in the gig economy have brought in more concrete currency than all the hollow slogans of the SIFC. But they strangulated the internet in the name of 'national security' anyway. They'll set fire to it all to protect Khaki Raj.

Awesome victory for student movement in #Bangladesh against #SheikhHasina but there can be no cheering generals taking over in the name of 'restoring peace'. To Pakistanis who are celebrating: pay attention to Baloch, Pashtun & other youth struggling against Khaki Raj at home.

‘In the colonies it is policeman & soldier who are the official, instituted go-between for the rule of oppression. They “advise” the native by means of rifle butts & napalm. They only speak the language of pure force.’ ~Frantz Fanon #GwadarIsUnderSiege #BalochNationalGathering

They fire on peaceful protestors in #Bannu because they care only about 'strategic depth'. All Pashtuns/oppressed nations demand accountability for the death, destruction & disappearances perpetrated by the military establishment, Taliban & imperialism.

It blatantly rigged elections, is tolerating mob violence/ Taliban resurgence, piling regressive taxes onto salaried/working class & brutalising ethnic peripheries. The khaki-backed regime now wants to ban the PTI as its next 'solution'. History will condemn PDM 2.0 to ignominy

Only hours after #GilamanWazir tragically passed due to a state-sponsored attack, Balochistan police attack & arrest peaceful women protesting enforced disappearances. They deliberately torch the peripheries & criminalise all dissent so that the politics of hate keeps thriving.

On the one hand is the man who just became British PM promising change’. On the other is the man who should be incoming PM, was purged by Labour, yet is still the voice of the Palestinian people & popular resistance movements everywhere. Corbyn = democracy Starmer = oligarchy

The youth who burned a man alive in #Swat by invoking blasphemy are not a fringe element in society. The weaponisation of Islam by the khakis & bourgeois/religious parties is a ticking time bomb that can only be defused by the unity of oppressed peoples.

They go on endlessly about the ‘sovereignty of the nation’ but make #Budget2024 at IMF behest so they can take even more loans, pillage everything & live like kings while literally starving the masses to death. A militarised banana republic like no other.

Modi is a hateful tyrant who will in time be condemned to the dustbin of history. Still a long way to go but India's people have shown they will resist the Hindu Right. Offers hope to us in Pakistan who struggle against Khaki Raj, religious right & big capital. May we both win.
