295C has taken so many lives & continues to threaten so many every single day. It's a weapon in the hands of extremist blood thirsty lot using the religion that teaches peace as their agenda to kill. It's about time we talk about its failures.
#TalkAbout295C
Today we demand that we separate the lies from the truth and shed light on the very words in 295-C that have created terror and horror in the name of a man who taught us mercy and compassion #talkabout295C

big debate at Habib about canceling his talk bec a lot of folks think we’re too mean to the right wing & don’t meet them half way. false + an import of the west - conservative views/ppl are not at risk of isolation in PK. the ppl they target are at risk of danger tho.
@mohammed_hijab just went and exposed liberals and feminists at the most liberal college in Pakistan. This is amazing stuff

Targeting a Bengali neighbourhood that’s been there for the past 50 years - and most people not caring at all about this - is pretty racist.
New Year, Same Displacements. A Bengali community in Rehmanabad has been served an eviction notice to vacate their homes in 7 days.

I’ve had several students ask me about what to read on Baloch enforced disappearances. I’d like to start a thread here on literature, poetry, books, papers, reports on the issue, especially by Baloch writers. Please link PDF’s, artwork, & texts for translation as well …👇🏽

Do not scroll past what happened to your fellow Pakistanis last night in the capital where state police fired water at peaceful protestors and beat them after trying to stamp their constitutional right to protest - you need to know you have time to

Looks like whoever forms the govt in Pakistan leaves their brains at home, because someone really needs to explain why they thought it was a good idea to block the internet for something that most people didn't even know about? Now look, everyone is attending the jalsa!

I see images of demolished homes in Gaza and I know all people with beating hearts have the same reaction: indescribable grief and rage.
I would like to gently point attention to demolished homes in Karachi, where working class people have been mercilessly targeted.
