Re-visiting Eqbal Ahmad's book launch at Harvard with Noam Chomsky

A message from the journalist Amitabh Pal about a mutual friend, David Barsamian of Alternative Radio in Colorado reminded me of this piece published in 2006, about an event with Noam Chomsky where I first met David. Sharing as it's still relevant.

A message from the journalist Amitabh Pal about a mutual friend, David Barsamian of Alternative Radio in Colorado reminded me of this piece originally published in The News on Sunday, 8 Oct. 2006, about an event with Noam Chomsky where I first met David. The article is still all-too relevant, but the link no longer works so I’m sharing the piece here without any changes; just added some…

Over 1,000 Bangladesh war heroes' families seek justice against Zia's executions

Over 1,000 Bangladesh war heroes’ families seek justice against Zia’s executions

By Sahidul Hasan Khokon: In 1971, all of them put their lives on the line against a heavily armed Pakistan Army, fought relentlessly and won the war to create the independent nation of Bangladesh. Before joining the war, many of them couldn’t even bid farewell to their families. As they fought the Pakistan Army, their families went through a double trauma — an agonizing wait for the safe return…

My Rachel Elizabeth Dare headcanons

Natural redheaded and greeneyed yoruba nigerian second gen inmigrant.She's darkskin with 4d hair

Autistic with schizophrenia

No masking game and that's her and Percy's special connection origin

Dresses like Miss Frizzle but with punk accents.Example:Gaudy dress with colorful tights,demonias,a spike collar and pink tears eyeliner

Aroaceflux,lesbian and a trans woman.Her and Percy define their dynamic as either queerplatonic sapphic girlfriends or exes to even closer best friends depending on the Percyverse(I have two-Persephone Jackson,which is regular tgirl Percy,and Perseo Jackson,which is transfem bigender Percy and some more canon compliant)

She grows up to disenmantle her father's company to replace it with a solarpunk international bussiness and Percy and her go to protests and do activism together and she rubs off her gender presentation on her a bit or rather helps her realize they kinda have similar ones

Her full initials being RED was on purpose because she likes to think she's funny(and she right)

Her special interests are art,weirdcore,green,enviormentalism and anarchy,her safe foods are mac and cheese joll of rice and slurpies,her stims are yelling flappy hands and physically crashing(no,really)and her blue hairbrush became a safe item post Botl

Perfectly nigerian-american in the sense that she's happily at peace with both her cultures(AFRICAN-american tyvm)

A complete bombshell.She's pretty,cute,hot,beautiful-If there's a word for attractive,it fits Rachel.Much like Percy,it flies way over her head thanks to the lifelong bullied outcast status until high school starts and she gets to Camp Half-Blood and has every other girl throwing themselves at her and unlike,she actually wanted all of them so she had tons of lesbian adventures and came out with hot girl mentality.Her endgame is undecided by me because she's too good with literally every girl her age

Her and Jason are pretty good pals that became through Percy and same for Nico and Hazel.If Jercy,she's Percy's best woman at their wedding and i can see Daregrace as a thing either poly or on it's own,it's an excellent ship that would 100% happen(lesbian Rachel isn't something i'm too firm on,i also love bi Rachel).She bonds with Percy's kids(meaning Nico and Hazel)pretty well since she's such a sweet and fun person and they share interests

She went on her own Kane Chronicles Adventure with Zia,Walt and Anubis and got powered up for a hot minute thanks to her african roots(I'm black myself but if this is offensive lmk!!).They still talk on the regular and even metup irl again once and she was the first to meet norse demigods because she housed Alex in secret for a few weeks before Mr Dare found out and kicked her out and they had a heartwarming reunion years later

"C'mon,you can't be a REAL redhead,you're black!Just say you wanted attention!" "I'm not gonna suck you off bro,can you let me play with my Tamagotchi in peace?It's gonna kill itself just to get away from you and then you'll owe me money.At least use your free time to take a shower or something else productive like apologizing to your Mama." ".....O-Okay,sorry for bothering you."

Her favorite holiday is Valentine's Day purely for the aesthetics,she's a Final Girls Fangirl,she knows how to draw in artstyles that don't exist and she has an instagram that she only made so she could use it with her best friends but eventually she also came up with the idea to use it for education and activism so now it's got two sides to it

Bangladesh's parliament has been dissolved, a day after prime minister Sheikh Hasina was forced from power.

Ms Hasina resigned and fled the country after weeks of student-led protests spiralled into deadly unrest.

The dissolution of parliament, a key demand of protesters, paves the way for establishing an interim government.

Bangladeshis are waiting to see what comes next, as the country's military chief is holding talks with political leaders and protest organisers.

According to local media, more than 100 people died in violent clashes across Bangladesh on Monday, the single deadliest day since mass demonstrations began.

Hundreds of police stations were also torched, with the Bangladesh Police Service Association (BPSA) declaring a strike "until the security of every member of the police is secure".

The group also sought to place the blame at the door of authorities, saying they were "forced to fire".

Overall, more than 400 people are believed to have died, as protests were met with harsh repression by government forces.

The protests began in early July with peaceful demands from university students to abolish quotas in civil service jobs, but snowballed into a broader anti-government movement.

Weeks of unrest culminated in the storming of the prime minister's official residence, not long after Ms Hasina had fled to neighbouring India, ending nearly 15 years of rule.

Bangladeshi leaders are under pressure to establish an interim government to avoid a power vacuum that could lead to further clashes.

Within hours of her resignation, Bangladesh's army chief Gen Waker-uz-Zaman pledged that an interim administration would be formed, adding on state television that "it is time to stop the violence".

Student leaders have been clear they will not accept a military-led government, pushing for Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus to become the interim government's chief adviser.

Mr Yunus, who agreed to take up the role, said: “When the students who sacrificed so much are requesting me to step in at this difficult juncture, how can I refuse?”

He is returning to Dhaka from Paris, where he is undergoing a minor medical procedure, according to his spokesperson.

Meanwhile, ex-prime minister and key opposition leader Khaleda Zia was released from years of house arrest, a presidential statement said.

She chairs the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which boycotted elections in 2014 and again in 2024, saying free and fair elections were not possible under Ms Hasina.

The BNP wanted the polls to be held under a neutral caretaker administration. This has now become a possibility after the departure of Ms Hasina, who had always rejected this demand.

Ms Zia, 78, served as prime minister of Bangladesh from 1991 to 1996, but was imprisoned in 2018 for corruption, although she said the charges were politically motivated.

She was not the only opposition figure to be released after years of detention.

Activist Ahmad Bin Quasem was also released from detention, according to his lawyer Michael Polak.

Rights groups say Mr Quasem was taken away by security forces in 2016, just one of hundreds of forced disappearances in the country under Ms Hasina's rule.

"There were many points during his detention that he was feared dead, and the uncertainty was one of the many tools of repression utilised by the regime," Mr Polak explained, adding they hoped the decision to release political prisoners "is a positive sign of their intentions".

"Unfortunately, the good news won’t be shared by all," he told the BBC, stating that a number of political prisoners had died in custody.

At least 20 other families of political prisoners gathered outside a military intelligence force building in the capital Dhaka earlier in the day, still desperately waiting for news about their loved ones, AFP news agency reports.

"We need answers," Sanjida Islam Tulee, a co-ordinator of Mayer Daak (The Call of the Mothers) campaign group, told the news agency.

Across the border in India, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said he was "deeply concerned till law and order is visibly restored" in Bangladesh, with which India shares a 4,096-km (2,545-mile) border and has close economic and cultural ties.

He gave the first official confirmation that Ms Hasina made a request to travel to India at "very short notice" and "arrived yesterday evening in Delhi".

India also deployed additional troops along its border with Bangladesh.

"Our border guarding forces have also been instructed to be exceptionally alert in view of this complex situation," Mr Jaishankar said.

@mysticarts gave me this Idea with the next gen lmk thingy so this is Ari and Mk's youngest child by a month (they do have a son and I might make another kid for them so they may have 3 kids but I don't know yet...) I think I'll name her Zia and her desing may not change... but I just needed to make her so I don't forget about this and her brothers name is Riku and if they do have a 3rd child if a girl then her name will be Hoshiko(iko for short) and if a boy then Riku or Rye... (If you guys really want you can choose if they get a 3rd child or not and you can choose the gender if you want...)

[From 15 Dec 2023]

me when im against fascism:

Its predecessor, the party (Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan), strongly opposed the independence of Bangladesh and break-up of Pakistan. In 1971, paramilitary forces associated with the party collaborated with the Pakistan Army in mass killings of Bangladeshi nationalists and pro-intellectuals.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]

Upon the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the new government banned Jamaat-e-Islami from political participation since the government was secular and some of its leaders went into exile in Pakistan. Following the assassination of the first president and the military coup in 1975, the ban on the Jamaat was lifted and the new party Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh was formed. Exiled leaders were allowed to return. Abbas Ali Khan was the acting Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. The Jamaat agenda is the creation of an "Islamic state" with the Sha'ria legal system, and outlawing "un-Islamic" practices and laws. For this reason, it interpretes their central political concept "Iqamat-e-Deen" as establishing Islamic state by possession of state power

Upon the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the new government banned Jamaat-e-Islami from political participation since the government was secular and some of its leaders went into exile in Pakistan. Following the assassination of the first president and the military coup in 1975, the ban on the Jamaat was lifted and the new party Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh was formed.

[...] In 2010 the government, led by the Awami League, began prosecution of war crimes committed during the 1971 war under the International Crimes Tribunal. By 2012, two leaders of the BNP, one leader from Jatiyo Party and eight of Jamaat had been charged with war crimes, and by March 2013, three Jamaat leaders had been convicted of crimes. In response, the Jamaat held major strikes and protests across the country, which led to more than 60 deaths (mostly by security forces.)

The former leader of Jamaat-e-Islami, Bangladesh's largest Islamist party, was sentenced to 90 years in jail for crimes against humanity on 15 July 2013. [...]

In 1973, the government cancelled his citizenship for allegedly co-operating with Pakistani forces during the independence war.

Azam lived as an exile in Pakistan and the UK but returned to Bangladesh in 1978 when the country was led by Gen Ziaur Rahman - the assassinated husband of the country's current opposition leader [of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party] Khaleda Zia.

Minority community leaders, rights activists and liberal personalities have raised concerns over the call by acting chief of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Tarique Rahman, who stands convicted in a number of cases, for party men to mobilise on the streets for "regime change" on 28 October [2023].

[...] Rana Dasgupta said, considering the violent attacks orchestrated by BNP in the past, "this latest threat by Tarique is deeply concerning for the minorities in Bangladesh".

"Any political party that complies with the basic tenets of democracy should refrain from issuing such threats publicly," Dasgupta, general secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Oikya Parishad, added.

In the run-up to the 2014 national election, violence on the streets coupled with targeted attacks on minorities across the country still traumatise the victims, he observed

Sun Palm (Vincent Brown) 26 He/Him Romantically Queer

Choctaw and Shawnee

Power to control Plasma Energy (so basically power to make mini-itty-bitty stars) Which also means he can create and put off UV Radiation. Technically, the blasts are white and blinding, but for PR & advertising, it's cgi or illustrated yellow like a cartoon sun

Eye color(that you can't see because I've been rewatching Adventure Time: Chestnut

Natural Hair color: Dark Ash Brown

Dye: C70F1B Iberian Red

Piercings:

☆Left Ear: 2 orbital and one lobe stud

☆Right Ear: 2 lobe studs and a daith

☆mouth: Snakes bites and tongue

☆Right eyebrow: 1 eyebrow

Tattoo:

☆Left Arm: upper arm Spider below deltoid

☆Right Arm: Mourning Rings on lower Arm below elbow

☆ Shoulder: Black Heart

☆Chest: Zia Sun (celebrating career)

Casual Wear: He usually wears more grey scale textiles casually and prefers accentuating outfits or comfortable ones.

Uniform: He wears a suit that's sleeveless and has a built-in skirt with side slits. The skirt goes down to his knees. It's the same shade as his hair. On the chest is a Zia Sun with yellow in the middle. No, this does not come from either of his tribes but the Pueblo People. He did not choose this his manager did. He wears deltoid long gloves that also have Zias on the palms (Sun Palm get it) and almost like form fitting gogo boots, but flexible and no heel. And a mask that's supposed to look like war paint (again, not his choice)

He is used in advertisements for sunscreen and sun balm that claims to use his powers in testing.

He's very tired of his job because he doesn't actually do much helping and is just used as a way to diversify the hero world. They use him because he's indigenous, not for his ability to fight crime and help. As seen by his suit that not much research went into when they designed it for him. He just wants a normal life at this point.

Was watching Gen V and was sketching and thought, why not make a super with stupid management making stupid decisions and who is stuck in a contract.

excerpt

The difficulty was, he didn't know what to say about any of it.

He didn’t know why he spent most hours of the day imagining escalating scenarios to guarantee that all the irritating things in his present life went on their merry way. He didn't know why they irritated him so much in the first place.

Even the mule was starting to bother him. Couldn’t Holga have won a more regal animal? One that drooled less when it drank from bodies of water? Couldn’t she have fallen in love with a less beige halfling? Couldn’t they have gone with any number of Edgin’s ideas for their new way of making a living instead of spending long hours taste testing sauces?

Maybe he was in a mood.

Maybe he wasn’t being fair to his fellow travelers, especially his daughter.

“Sorry,” he grumbled. “I haven’t been sleeping very well. Hammocks kinda disagree with me.”

“The hammocks were your suggestion.”

“They’re getting old.”

“You’re getting old,” she shot back, flashing a cheeky grin. It was an expression that was all Zia. The thought made him want to find his own secluded glade and yell.

Cariño i feel like we havent spoken in forever. How are you? Everything ok? College treating you right? Anything worth telling? Anyone i need to beat up?

hello love ! i miss u v much, things have been.. a lot lol

i have fall break next week which i am looking forward to very much! my first term of college will be entirely finished come this sunday. it's a bit crazy to think ab. i feel like i just got here lol

college has been treating me pretty okay. got a good group of friends to hang with. my roommate and i get along fine, but she like.. is never here lol so we don't see each other much at all. they haven't actually slept in the dorm all week which i secretly love bc it means i get the room entirely to myself.

this semester i have a lot of gen eds to take care of bc i registered late and didn't know what credits from hs were going to transfer, but next semester i should get to take, like four film classes!!! i'm so excited zia you have NO idea !!!!

+ after talking to my advisor (who is like.. my new favorite person lol) i have a solid plan for studying abroad next year which i'm hyped for. my university has a campus in vienna so i think imma go there and knock out the rest of my gen eds

i am officially turning into a film student tho and i know this bc today i was watching madam secretary and caught an audio cut and immediately thought "well i mean they could've done like this and this or this to make it sound more natural" and then i caught myself was filled with dread

i greatly appreciate ur offer to beat someone up for me, i have a few names i might consider in the future but for now we're getting by fine :)

i have to go do adult things like laundry and my world religions midterm now tho :/ lmk how you've been! u started college too right? how's that going??
