In 2024, USAID had budgeted $116.5 million for Pakistan and this included $21.53 million for basic health, $14 million for disaster prevention and preparedness, $12 million for energy, $6 million for civil society organisations, and $4.8 million for agriculture. In other words, most of USAID’s projects are helping those who are from low-income backgrounds increase the quality of their lives and many are imparting Pakistanis with the skills that will help them acquire a decent livelihood 'Impact On Pakistan Of Musk’s War On USAID My column for @TFT_

If you’re going to expect others to boycott KFC and McDonald’s and Coca Cola and Pepsi that’s fine and you’re well within your rights to do that - but also boycott Twitter/X and Google and Apple and Meta and Facebook and Instagram and WhatsApp and stop flying on Boeing aircraft while you’re at it - all these are American companies with strong ties to either Israel or the U.S. government and in particular with the new Trump administration- the same one that wants to kick all Palestinians out of Gaza and make it into a “riviera” If you can’t do that I suggest you STFU

"My exercise equipment, television, and even newspapers have been taken away. They restrict my access to books whenever they wish. Besides those 20 days, I was also locked up for another 40 hours. In the last six months, I have been allowed to speak to my sons only three times," he added. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has now written a second letter to Army Chief Gen Asim Munir

Precisely what’s been happening with Muslims in India right now - you would know unless of course you happen to live under a rock
This is the oldest, deadliest playbook in history. Hitler didn’t start with concentration camps—he started by making hatred socially acceptable. First, Jews were ridiculed in propaganda, portrayed as economic leeches, job stealers, and foreign infiltrators. Society laughed along. Then came discrimination—laws stripping them of opportunities, exclusion from public life, and relentless demonization. Once they were sufficiently dehumanized, the violence began, and the world looked the other way. Now, look at what’s happening today. Anti-Indian hate is being normalized right before our eyes. For years, certain factions have pushed the narrative that Indian immigrants—especially H-1B visa holders—are stealing American jobs, lowering wages, and ruining the economy. It started as online trolling, but now it’s , media narratives, and real-world consequences. Indian professionals have been harassed, their contributions ignored, and their presence increasingly resented. And now, when an Indian man is publicly humiliated and mocked on camera and when this govenrmnent STAFFER is openly calling to "normalize Indian hate"( Literally few weeks ago) , instead of condemning it, the Vice President of the United States defends the perpetrator. JD Vance dismisses calls for accountability, saying it was just “stupid social media activity” that shouldn’t “ruin a kid’s life.” No apology. No consequences. Just a green light for more hate. This is exactly how dehumanization works. First, Indians are reduced to a stereotype. Then, their struggles are mocked. Then, policies are shaped against them. Then, the hate spills into the real world. We’ve seen this cycle before—against Jews, against immigrants, who were scapegoated until it was too late to stop the consequences. And I’m sorry, but as much as I think the Republican Party is doing a good job and I support President Trump, this absolutely needs to be called out. Supporting a party does not mean ignoring hypocrisy or excusing dangerous rhetoric. If we don’t hold our own accountable, who will? Vance isn’t just excusing racism , he’s legitimizing it. And if people don’t wake up now, they’ll realize too late where this road leads.
