Hi everyone! This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly.  The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me! Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!! However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”!  I’d like to insist on two things: 1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked! 2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel! For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :) Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!! Lots of love and stay safe! PS: I you repost this cartoon of mine on twitter or instagram, please add me in the post so I can see it, with @itsmaeril :)

Laos Halts Fossil Fuel Vehicle Imports, Sets Price Controls for Electric Cars - Laotian Times

The Lao government has announced the suspension of imports of most fossil fuel-powered vehicles until the end of 2026.

The Lao government has announced the suspension of imports of most fossil fuel-powered vehicles until the end of 2026 and imposed strict price controls on electric vehicles to ensure affordability.

On 12 May, the Office of the Prime Minister imposed immediate implementation of the directive.

Under the new policy, only passenger vehicles, project and production vehicles, and vehicles for specialized functions are exempt from the import ban.

Authorities have instructed the Ministry to develop a comprehensive price structure covering factory costs, transport, taxes, and profit ceilings for every class and brand of EV sold in Laos.

Companies found to exceed these limits face fines and additional penalties.

“If any company takes the opportunity to raise the price of electric vehicles unreasonably, there will be strict measures to impose fines and penalties,” the notice stated.

Why do zionists seem to genuinely believe ‘israel’ invented seedless watermelon(process discovered by Japanese scientist H. Kirata, stable crop cultivated by Taiwanese botanist Chen Wen-Yu) or cherry tomatoes(domesticated by indigenous mesoamericans thousands of years before the nation-state of Israel was a twinkle in Herzl’s coloniser eye) when all evidence clearly points to the contrary. It’s just such an easily disproveable thing to cling onto when like 5 minutes and an internet connection will lead anyone to the discovery that by the time israelis’ contributed anything to either they were already extant and widely available.

I have to assume it’s because “we gave to the world blood diamonds of dubious provenance and a bunch of new methods and tech for state surveillance and violence tested first on the children of Palestinians before they could be deployed against the unruly proletariat of the world” doesn’t have that same PR kick to it 😭
