Lorenzo Salgado was murdered by ICE 4 months ago today. Texans have been adding their “I voted” stickers to his memorial in Houston. I just added mine.

Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, Pakistan has banked heavily on doing business with the US. With the Republicans having lost control of Congress, Islamabad risks coming out as another loser. My latest for ⁦⁦@ForeignPolicy⁩: foreignpolicy.com/2026/11/04…

For years I kept these memories to myself. Some were too painful to speak of, others too precious. In Belonging, I have finally written them down. My conversation with @guardian ↓ theguardian.com/world/2026/n… theguardian.com/world/2026/n…

Imran Khan’s health is a human issue, not a political one. His BP rising to 192 is extremely dangerous. As a national hero who lives in the hearts of millions of Pakistanis, he deserves proper medical care. Implement the Supreme Court’s August 18 order immediately. Allow his personal doctors access, and conduct all further tests in a laboratory he and his family trust. Raise your voice.
عمران خان صاحب کی صحت سیاست سے ہٹ کر ایک انسانی معاملہ ہے۔ عمران خان بطور قومی ہیرو پاکستانی قوم کے دلوں میں بستے ہیں۔عمران خان صاحب کے بلڈ پریشر کا 192 تک جانا انتہائی خطرناک ہے۔ تمام پاکستانیوں سے اپیل ہے کہ خان صاحب کی صحت کیلئے آواز بلند کریں۔ سپریم کورٹ کے 18 اگست کے حکم پر فی الفور عمل کیا جائے۔ ان کے ذاتی معالجین کو ان تک رسائی دی جائے اور انکے تمام ٹیسٹ ایسی لیبارٹری سے کروائے جائیں جس پر خان صاحب اور ان کے خاندان کو اعتبار ہو۔

Sixty years in public life, and still the same person. Proud of you, Ma. ❤️ "The values that I learnt growing up survive. I have tried my best to be true to them: loyalty to family and friends, sincerity and feeling for others, the idea of being dutiful and responsible. I think I can say that in these I am the same person Rajiv met sixty years ago." - CPP Chairperson @SoniaGandhi Read her interview with The Hindu about her upcoming book, Belonging: A Journey of Love. thehindu.com/news/national/s…

Vietnam has become a favourite new destination for Indian travellers. But if we turn their airports into picnic spots, spreading food and litter, we risk becoming very unpopular tourists. When will we learn to travel with civic sense? 😮

Concerning reports of further unlawful killings in Azad Kashmir have emerged since the UN experts raised serious concerns over the human rights violations.   There must be full accountability. The bloodshed must end, communications restored and peaceful dialogue resumed, with the inalienable human rights of Kashmiris at the heart of any resolution.

I stand in solidarity with Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi. Speaking up for Kashmiris and their right to exist without fear is not a crime. Attacking protesters is absolutely unacceptable. The people of Kashmir deserve dignity, justice and the right to have their voices heard.
Inshallah . Will continue to speak truth to power. Thank you for your support

The killing of civilians in Rawalakot is horrific and utterly unacceptable. No government has the right to answer public dissent with bullets. Those responsible for these deaths must be held accountable. The people of Kashmir deserve justice, not violence and intimidation.

راولاکوٹ میں آپریشن بند کرو! راولاکوٹ میں جو آپریشن کیا جا رہا ہے اور جس میں ڈرونز اور جنگی ہتھیاروں کا استعمال ہو رہا ہے، اس کے نتیجے میں تین افراد شہید اور درجنوں زخمی ہو چکے ہیں۔ جو پُرامن مظاہرین اپنے حقوق کے لیے بیٹھے ہیں، انہیں بیٹھنے کی اجازت بھی نہیں دی جا رہی۔ ہمارا مطالبہ ہے کہ یہ آپریشن فوری بند کیا جائے۔ اپنی ہی عوام کے خلاف جنگی ہتھیاروں اور ڈرونز کا استعمال ختم کیا جائے۔ عوام سے گفتگو، بات چیت اور ڈائیلاگ کے ذریعے معاملات حل کیے جائیں اور جو معاہدے کیے گئے ہیں، ان کی پاسداری کی جائے۔ خدارا ہوش کے ناخن لو، کشمیر کو کھو رہے ہو!

Shocking interaction in Azad Kashmir: Asked about military operations against civilian protesters, the Chief Security Officer openly warned journalist Haider Shirazi against releasing the video. Holding authority accountable is not a crime—journalists must be protected, not silenced! 📰 #RightsMovementAJK #rawlakot @BBCUrdu @UN_HRC @amnesty @UN @AJEnglish

Shocking images and reports from AJK. The same failed policy of attempting to resolve political issues through military operations, which has only fuelled resentment and alienation in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is now being implemented in Azad Kashmir. #AsimLaw

A massive crowd has gathered at the Eidgah ground in Rawalakot to honor those killed in recent violence. The atmosphere is overwhelmed with emotion and grief as the community comes together to mourn. #RightsMovementAJK @BBCUrdu @AlJazeera @UN @UNODC
