In case you were wondering if Larry Ellison would use his partial ownership of TIKTok to shut down the exposure of his billionaire buddies and their weirdness, corruption and grifting … wonder no more. TikTok just shut down the media page of the world renowned, Oscar winning director Alex Gibney’s documentary film “MUSK”. The comprehensive documentary on all things Elon. It’s more f&@&’d then you can imagine. The best thing any of us can do now is to go see it! It will blow your mind. Billionaire broke mind virus. Hear it from the people who have known Elon over the years. #BrokeMindVirus

Zaffar Abbas has called it a day, after 16 yrs as Editor Dawn newspaper.
In many ways, he was seen as the last man standing at a time when Pak media has capitulated in the face of growing censorship, Dawn is being financially strangulated & the industry is in a meltdown.
Our job isn't to befriend those in power. It is to hold them accountable: Editor Dawn Zaffar Abbas @CEJatIBA

PAKISTAN: Responding to the declaration of a state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as well as the imposition of governor rule and the deployment of armed forces in the province, Amnesty International said:
“Reports of arbitrary detentions of key leaders – including the provincial chief minister – and internet disruptions across the province raise concerns about the proportionality of these emergency measures. While states may, in strictly limited circumstances, derogate from their human rights obligations to respond to a public emergency that threatens the existence of the nation, emergency measures are not a blank cheque to crack down on human rights, silence dissent, or concentrate power.”

As we mark the #DayOfTheGirl, @UNESCO's new report shows that child marriage and early pregnancy continue to jeopardize progress in girls’ education.
While gender gaps in education have narrowed and the share of girls married before 18 have decreased globally, very few girls return to school after giving birth in some regions, underscoring the need to end child marriage, prevent early pregnancies, and guarantee young mothers’ right to continue their education.

HRCP cautions the federal government and Parliament that declaring an emergency or imposing governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa risks further deepening political tensions and undermining democratic processes. We strongly urge the federal government and the PTI to resume a meaningful political dialogue immediately and ensure that citizens' fundamental rights are not suspended under any pretext.
