Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Sec. Rubio said, “…the national interests of our respective countries are aligned” before Central Asian leaders met with Trump at the White House. He was correct: Trump and Central Asian leaders are committing human rights abuses at home while pursuing billions in critical minerals deals abroad.

“Why is the Trump administration refusing to be transparent about how much money it’s spending on this political stunt?” asked @warren.senate.gov. “People don’t need troops in their backyard — they need health care, housing, and cheaper groceries.” theintercept.com/2025/11/11/c...

Okay what about weapons sales to India 👀👀👀

Modi's silence on Mamdani’s victory reveals what terrifies Hindutva supporters. Young, progressive, interfaith, anti-establishment and unafraid, Zohran represents everything whose existence the Hindu Right has spent decades trying to deny. I write in The Caravan caravanmagazine.in/politics/mod...

Some of the Al Sharaa discourse from progressives is getting Islamophobic.

Indians don’t need to imagine what INC would look like under a certain alternative scenario - they can look to the inept opposition party that is the Democratic Party

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them. I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.

Making everyone “the next Zohran” is unfair to all the politicians involved and it’s also bad for democracy! No one should be treated like a savior and no one should be expected to save the rest of us.

I need progressive foreign policy people to continually ask Ro Khanna his views on Modi, democracy, and human rights in India before they continue fawning over him

India proposes to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad

Quick, who’s the junior Senator of Texas and what did he do on the 16th anniversary of 9/11

The message behind the government shutdown is loud and clear: Hunger is acceptable collateral damage in service of Trump’s agenda.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

First we take Manhattan. Then we take Madrid.

This is so bad for international religious freedom and makes people (like me!) reluctant to do any advocacy with a government that will bomb people for not being Christian.

Not good.

Dard-e-Disco but it’s cities with progressive South Asian American mayors

“tom homan is a bitch” is a winning message

Also when you start blatantly stealing elections after losing, you lose legitimacy!

and for those Indian Americans who've swung hard against him because he's Muslim--if you can't be guided by good morals, try at least to remember that you're physically indistinguishable from many of the people you've helped demonize, and that you've lived the wrong end of this experience before

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character

Are we not supposed to get excited about a possible Zohranistan?

Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago. He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

Doing this while people are about to lose access to food…

Hindu here 🙋🏽‍♀️. And I am speaking for myself, not all Hindus. Hinduism, as I (personally) understand it, is not mutually exclusive with other faiths. We are not asked to disavow other religions. I am a member of my local church! Vance is very fortunate if Usha has a similar ecumenical outlook 1/

For all his amazing comments about democracy, sovereignty and dignity, it’s very disappointing to watch Gustavo Petro share multiple posts about his meetings with MbS (and thank King Felipe for connecting the two!)

A Nazi Tattoo Exposes Democrats’ Greatest Weakness www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o... @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is unmatched. Read her latest piece—and everything else she writes.

Though overall numbers remain very low, it's notable that Border Patrol's apprehensions of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border increased 83 percent from July to September: people are still coming despite a historic, often abusive crackdown. Here are all nationalities over 50 apprehensions per month:

The Diplomat is wonderful escapism because it imagines an American president that can complete a sentence

Dems should file a motion to vacate, run it through as if Congress is open and elect a new Speaker. And then say “If Johnson won’t try to open the government, we will.” Either Johnson refuses or he has to come back to town.

You could go further, right? Where’s the demand for a new Speaker? If Johnson is going to refuse to do his job, why aren’t we calling for him to be replaced, the House sent back to work, the shutdown ended, and the Epstein files to be released.

Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, concluded a marathon speech on the Senate floor Wednesday evening after 22 hours and 37 minutes, saying he was “ringing the alarm bells” on the arrival of authoritarianism under President Trump.

This is so, so grim

More than 50 ICE and other federal agents conducted a horrific raid yesterday targeting African immigrants in New York City's Chinatown. 🧵⬇️

Amazing strategy by the Cuomo team: find Hindus to say Zohran hates Hindus and find Muslims to say Zohran is Hindu

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

India’s democracy is under strain. Journalist Ayush Tiwari joins us to discuss how Indians vote—and how voter suppression & electoral fraud threaten the right to choose their leaders. 🎧 Listen now: spotify.link/zPHVf0MUvXb

Shah Rukh Khan is too rich to be going to Saudi Arabia for regime pop culture events

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Wonder if Vance ever thinks about his own family when he speaks. Like ever. Anti-Indian racism has increased by 300%, 50% of students deported were Indians, and hate crime against South Asians has dramatically increased. His own spouse and kids have become targets and he doesn’t seem to care.

NBC Asian America covered so many important stories for the South Asian community

I think Israel is going to go the Pakistan route of fully being able to recover its image after doing a genocide with US backing.
