Very boring discourse on here, l already live in a theocracy that pretends to be secular

Prominent Journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin Has Been in Jail for Six Weeks in Kuwait, Faces Trial in Special Tribunal Ahmed Shihab-Eldin’s arrest comes as part of a wider crackdown on online speech in Kuwait and other Gulf countries during the Iran war.

Ahmed's arrest and prosecution are happening against a renewed drive of mass denaturalisation, temporarily paused because of the Iranian strikes on Kuwait.

Over 50,000 Kuwaitis have been denaturalised, rendering them not only stateless but incapable of cross-border movement.

‘I wished for death’: Sexual violence in Israel’s prisons is an ‘organised state policy’ Palestinian testimonies reveal how sexual violence, including rape using objects and dogs, is approved by 'highest levels' of Israeli leadership

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it.

It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within.

Every day in Egypt we wake up to the untold nightmare of our Sudanese and Syrian neighbors dying in our prisons and being deported to war while Egyptians chuckle in racist glee

I also employed a wasta and it worked like a charm 😎 and now l have health insurance!

It's vaguely comforting to go to an Egyptian government office and see they still keep the old ways alive: smoking enthusiastically and never using their computers

Every day on bluesky is just Westerners learning they're not democratic citizens and having navel gazing tantrums about it instead of asking the rest of us how authoritarianism works

How Chiropractors Became the Backbone of MAHA Why they love Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and he loves them.

No exaggeration, I think this is one of the most important stories in US health care. MAHA makes a lot more sense if you see it as a hostile takeover by the quackery industry

Basics were alarmed that Al Bait were mentioned, even though this isn't unprecedented

There's a MENA microblogging site called Upscrolled, you might try there for breaking news

But Kat Abu Ghraib just seems like facts, right?

What about Upscrolled? Some Arabs are on the but it's pretty tough to use.

Oh lol l have yet to meet the "serious" "leftist" Arab intellectual that does not blame the USA or the West for ISIS. There is exactly 0 self reflection on that in MENA.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

Right but what we're talking about is which is morally right and which isn't.

Textbook example of a slippery slope fallacy

Egypt deported a Syrian journalist after luring him to a govt building with the promise of renewed residency, leaving an Egyptian child with his Egyptian ex wife. The Egyptian public has hounded her demanding that she be punished for marrying a foreigner and wanting to strip her son of citizenship.

‘Egypt’s guests’ in danger: Refugees face increasing arrests, deportations Thousands of refugees in Egypt have been subjected to arrest, detention and forced deportations

Yes, of course

What does Iran do with its homeless though? Doesn't the govt round them up like it does in Egypt?

"believed"? What other opinion is there to have? - sincerely puzzled, Arab person

Where on the internet can you complain about how vile Egypt is without running into racists or going to prison

Pretty grossed out by own family, who live there

And the Americans are wrong about that.
