‘I can’t breathe in this city’: inaction over Delhi’s suffocating pollution sparks rare protest
The failure by state governments to do anything about pollution means it has often been met with apathy. But at a rare protest anger and frustration were rife

This might be the podcast series that finally gets me to overcome my distaste for podcasts. Must listen for anyone interested in Gaza and Palestine.
Agreed, probably the best source for a detailed but easily digestible background on the history & nuances of this region. Anyone commenting on Gaza at this point who hasn’t listened to it needs to sit themselves down & take the plunge.
I've just finished listening to a massive 11-part series on the history of Gaza (it starts with the Philistines!) on @empirepoduk.bsky.social with @anitaanand.bsky.social and @willdalrymple.bsky.social and I have to say it's extraordinary. Start here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/2...

The arc of Zohran Mamdani's success is nothing short of staggering. At the start of the year, he was polling at 1%. Now, at age 34, he will be New York City’s youngest leader in more than a century. nyti.ms/43Mi5Z3
