Today I'm reminded of this poem, Horatius, by Thomas Babbington Macaulay. I post this verse here for all those who resist Empires, whether corporate or political, and who sacrifice their lives and liberty for the rest of us. Heroism is never forgotten.

These CEOs should be arrested & charged with ecocide & endangering populations.

🌍 Indonesia holds 34% of the world’s peat reserves,one of the planet’s most critical carbon sinks. When these peatlands are drained and burned for palm oil, centuries of stored carbon are released in a flash. This year’s fires have already emitted an estimated 180 million tons of carbon,the highest in 24 years. #CarbonEmissions #Peatlands

The British starved Ireland and then cited Irish poverty as evidence of Irish inferiority.
The Belgians extracted the Congo’s resources for a century and then cited Congolese underdevelopment as evidence that Africans needed to be governed.
The Americans sanctioned Cuba for 66 years and then cited Cuban economic difficulties as evidence that socialism doesn’t work.
The structure is the same.
It has always been the same.
You remove the conditions necessary for success.
You wait.
You point.
You conclude.
The only thing that changes across centuries and continents is who’s being pointed at.

ARRESTED WITH SARAH HELM'S WORDS
A woman has just been arrested outside the US Embassy in London for holding a sign with words mirroring the ones that the National Security Advisor's wife tweeted, and for which @metpoliceuk declared "did not meet the criminal threshold".

Salute to Rubina Khan, the last free child of the late Shaukat Khanum, for speaking truth without fear. With Imran Khan and her three sisters in jail, she still stands up. Courage runs in the blood. It cannot be taught, staged, or faked on TikTok.

Imagine your country covered in toxic smoke for 3 months because a company wanted to save $195 per hectare.
That's Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore right now.
Reckless palm oil is not "cheap." The real price is lungs, lives and climate.

یعنی عمران خان کو قید تنہائی میں بھی رکھا جائے ، بہنوں کو نظر بند بھی رکھا جائے ، علاج کی سہولت بھی نہ ملے ، اسکے ورکرز کو مارا پیٹا جائے ، اسکی حکومتیں گرائی جائیں اور پھر امید یہ رکھی جائے کہ یہ سب کرنے کے ذمہ دار کو ذہنی مریض بھی نہ کہا جائے؟

ڈاکٹر عاصم کی اپیل 🚨
عمران خان کو فوری ریٹینا اسپیشلسٹ کے علاوہ اپنے دیگر طبی مسائل کے مکمل جائزے کے لیے کسی اعلیٰ اسپتال جیسے شفا انٹرنیشنل اسلام آباد، میں فوری اور مکمل طبی معائنے کی ضرورت ہے۔

BREAKING: OVER 4,000 TOTAL TERRORISM ARRESTS AS 94 YEAR OLD MARGARET OWEN ARRESTED AGAIN
Today's arrests outside the US Embassy in London bring the total number of arrests under the Terrorism Act in the UK for defying the ban on Palestine Action to over 4,000.

As Palestine Action is a proscribed organisation, showing support for the organisation is a criminal offence.
Now, it appears, offering logistical support to its supporters - even if you don't personally express support for the organisation itself - has also been deemed to be potentially criminal.
What about if you support the deconscription of PA as a matter of civil liberties? Is that "showing support"?
What about if, as a lawyer, you represent supporters in legal proceedings?
Are all lawyers to get the Rajiv Menon treatment now, too?
Where will this authoritarianism in the name of protecting a genocidal ally actually end?
Will criticising Israel actual be made a criminal offence?

STOP calling it "Indonesia's fires."
Call it what it is: Palm oil companies torching one of Earth's largest carbon reservoirs to clear land for free.
2M hectares gone. And counting.

خاموشی گناہ ہے 🚨
نورین خان اس وقت ICU میں ہے اور فیملی کو بھی ملنے کی اجازت نہیں لیکن بدقسمتی پارٹی اور بکاؤ میڈیا سمیت سب خاموش ہیں۔
نورین خان کی فوری رہائی کے لئے سب آواز اٹھائیں

پاکستانیوں کے لیے سب سے ضروری چیز ہے خودکشی، جو کہ اسلام میں جائز نہیں ہے اسی وجہ سے اب تک سب جی رہے ہیں، ان حالات میں تو مر جانا چاہیئے، نہ کچھ لکھ سکتے ہیں نہ کچھ بول سکتے ہیں نہ اپنی رائے کا اظہار کر سکتے ہیں نہ اپنی پریشانی کا اظہار کر سکتے ہیں تو پھر ایسے جینے سے کیا فائیدہ! انور مقصود

“Bu babamla ilgili son çağrım: Onu kurtarın!”
📣 Gazzeli kahraman Doktor Hussam Abu Safiya’nın oğlundan babası için SON çağrı!
▪️Babam artık nefes almakta zorlanıyor.
Konuşamıyor
.
▪️Yüzü, gördüğü işkence yüzünden tanınmaz halde.
▪️Ne acı ki, büyük bir yalnızlığa terk edildik.
İki milyardan fazla Müslümana, yirmi ikiden fazla Arap ve İslam ülkesine seslendik. Ama siz duymazdan geldiniz.
▪️Size bir kez daha yalvarıyor, çağrıda bulunuyor, yardım istiyoruz. Çok geç olmadan babamın hayatını kurtarın.
▪️Belki de bu, son yardım çığlığımız olacak. Belki bir daha babamdan haber alamayacağız.

ڈاکٹر فیصل کا مطالبہ 🚨

It's not Qaddafi. It's not al Assad. It's not Maduro. It's not Xi or Putin. It's British police announcing that anyone even attending a protest will be arrested.
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation.
Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

No justification for keeping Imran Khan's family like this. There is honour in war too. This is cruelty.
Noreen Niazi's family needs to be given access to her. The skies will not fall. Imran Khan's sisters need to be released.
Again, I request our parliamentary and party leadership to stop pointing guns inwards, set their house in order, and engage the govt to take positive action on this.
I have just returned from the Punjab Institute of Cardiology. Noreen Niazi's entire family, including her daughters, has been waiting outside the ICU for the last three days, yet not a single family member has been allowed to see her. Even more disturbing is that the family has not been informed about her medical condition. They have not been told what happened to her, what diagnosis has been made, what tests have been conducted, what the reports reveal, what treatment or medication has been prescribed or even what symptoms she is experiencing. The family is left waiting outside the ICU, completely in the dark about their mother's health. Meanwhile, approximately 25–30 policemen are deployed at the hospital. This complete lack of transparency and communication is unacceptable. Her daughters and family deserve to know about their mother's health, diagnosis, medical reports and treatment. They deserve answers

All his sisters, wife, nephew, and he himself are behind bars.
Most of us fear losing our loved ones or seeing them injured during a protest. And this family is enduring every form of state-inflicted violence and still standing tall. 💔
This family is built different.
