Heartbreaking reporting from @alibomaye
My dispatch from Afghanistan's Herat province, where Afghan returnees (and deportees) describe life in Iran amid the US and Israel's war – nominally against the Islamic Republic, but also clearly targeting civilian infrastructure in major urban centers thenewhumanitarian.org/news/…

I gotta know, how do you smuggle sheep? Why? To Where? And Why?
The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock announced in a statement that the smuggling and illegal transport of 790 sheep were prevented in Spin Boldak and Registan districts of Kandahar province. According to the statement, the operation was carried out in coordination with the Directorate of Agriculture and Livestock, the Police Command, and local authorities. #TOLOnews_English

There are female journalists on Television in Afghanistan right now, using their skills to inform, educate and entertain the Afghan people. They continued to do their job despite having to put a mask on in order to keep working, provide for their families and serve the people
“Activist” criticizing a female doctor advocating for women’s education because she communicated her message on local tv wearing the required face mask. Attending lavish or high-profile events is easy, but I'm more interested in understanding what she would do if she were actually in the country and how she would avoid complying with #Taliban law.

Slightly perplexed by the messages and comments that folks had no idea how bad the regime was in #Syria. I know much of this is in good faith, but (deep breath) : Syrians, human rights orgs, journalists have been covering this and telling you this - *with much documentation*

1169 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 709 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university. The UN says the rules on women in Afghanistan amount to “gender apartheid”. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

This is just utterly incredible.
I talked to an Ohio voter who was quite upset: He says he was tricked by the ballot language & cast a vote opposing redistricting reform, when he intended to back it. The GOP-crafted summary tripped him up. He's not alone: OH groups sounding alarm. NEW: boltsmag.org/ohio-issue-1-ge…

So endorsements “don’t move the needle,” we’re told, which is why some editorial boards say they are sitting these elections out. As an ex-editorial writer, I find that … flimsy reasoning. If you endorse ideas all the time with your editorials, do your job. Even if it’s hard.

Wow
🧵We need an English-language exposé on Reza Pahlavi's monarchist movement. He's like an Ahmed Chalabi on steroids, serving Netanyahu's agenda. With little organic support, he's boosted by social media manipulation as vocal opposition against him grows daily, even in diaspora.

Me: I can’t believe I didn’t know that Suge Knight has a prison podcast (Collect Call with Suge Knight 😂) My @NPRWeekend colleagues, immediately: So how would you produce & engineer that? You’d need a producer on the outside #PeakNPR
