Trump's new and not very bright DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullins says he is drawing up plans to stop processing international flights and travelers in "sanctuary cities". This is his answer to protests. Are he and Duffy just trying their damnest to stop tourism in the USA? Instead of ruining tourism Mullins needs to make humane treatment mandatory in detention centers. I guess the solution is too complicated for him to come up with on his own. #DemsUnited

India’s newly appointed Ambassador to China, Vikram Doraiswami, is winning praise online after a video emerged of him speaking fluent Mandarin during a tour of the Indian Embassy in Beijing. Smoothly breaking down the cultural, consular, and commercial wings, the veteran diplomat traded stiff press releases for a masterclass in public diplomacy. Doraiswami steps into this crucial Beijing role directly after high-profile stints navigating complex trade and political waters as India’s High Commissioner to both the United Kingdom and Bangladesh

Acting DHS Secretary Stephen Miller next? If Trump can blow past the Constitution, laws, and regulations for Whitaker, a mere statute should be no problem for Miller. Miller is about as qualified for that job as Whitaker is for AG. washingtonpost.com/world/nat…

Sad news: one of the great chroniclers of our times, the venerable Sir Mark Tully, the voice of the BBC in India for decades, has passed away. You were an inspiration Tully Saab for many of us: someone who loved India and its people dearly while holding a mirror to the powerful. RIP. Om Shanti.

Mark Tully was a giant among journalists and the greatest Indophile of his generation. He was also a uniquely warm, generous, gentle, kind and helpful man, at whose feet I was honoured to sit for many years as he patiently explained the subtleties & nuances of India. As the voice of BBC India he was irreplaceable, a man prepared to stand up to power and to tell the truth, however uncomfortable. Both privately and professionally, he will be much, much missed.

This is absolutely disgusting. Listen to this Minneapolis pastor talk about how he was assaulted by ICE! “An ICE agent literally came over to me and said, ‘what did you say?’ I said ‘I am not afraid,’ and they pointed a gun in my face. ICE put handcuffs on my hands and put me in a black SUV and then a few moments later they came back and they said, ‘are you afraid yet,’ and I said, ‘no,’ and then they said it: ‘Well you're white. You wouldn't be fun anyway.’ It was then that I knew that the staging that these ICE raids are really about fear and intimidation.”

Odisha too has one of the largest reserves of Monazite & REE alongside Andhra, Tamil Nadu & Kerala in India. Monazite mining is banned in China & Australia due to contamination of water sources which leads to widespread kidney disease in mining areas. share.google/FhHafCMov3FXXrs…

Sudan’s humanitarian crisis (if that’s what to call the result of mass atrocities) is today the world’s worst. Kordofan is the latest region under threat by the United Arab Emirates-armed Rapid Support Forces, yet global attention remains disturbingly low. trib.al/vWYIDlF
