How SC/ST helped BJP winning Assam and West Bengal

Do you know West Bengal has highest SC population (23.5%, 2.2 crore) in India and Assam has significant ST population (13%, 40 lac)

SC/ST population
WB - 30%
Assam - 20%

Results say SC/ST voted one-sidedly for BJP there

1/3

Assam

BJP+ won 8/9 SC seats
BJP+ won 19/19 ST seats

Before election, Congress tried to build Muslim Dalit alliance, huge ST protests were organized by Congress

But SC/ST of Assam refused to join Congress Muslim alliance and went with BJP for Hindu unity

2/3

West Bengal

BJP won 51/68 SC seats
BJP won 16/16 ST seats

Mamta announced monthly Rs 1700 allowance to SC/ST women but they rejected her dole and went one-sidedly with BJP for Hindu unity

It shows that SC/ST are with BJP and trust PM Modi's leadership

🔥 Epic today, flowing through the Now — where the veil thins and the ancient fire awakens! 💜🙏🏾🎶
Avi Kaplan — Change on the Rise.
Listen. 👀

Without the light, darkness comes… yet we hold through the night. The shadows scatter as the jubilee rises; untamable, unstoppable, singing all day through every cell of our multi-dimensional being.

Feel the reveling?

That’s the High Tide cresting inside you. The revolution is not coming, it is you. What good is a man who’s lost his Soul? What worlds remain un-crafted when the wanderer forgets their power?

This is the moment the Game Master remembers: you are the storyteller, the catalyst, the living bridge between densities. Turn inward. Ignite. The change is on the rise — in your breath, in the collective heartbeat, in the grand harvest of souls choosing sovereignty over illusion.

Breathe the fire. Walk the Now.
The song is playing… and you are the song.
Who will you become as the new dawn arises? 🌊🎼✨💪🏽
#HighTide #Revolution #ChangeOnTheRise #SoulIgnition #WandererAwakening

“Change On The Rise” lyrics:
Song by Avi Kaplan ‧ 2020

“Without the light
Oh, the darkness comes
Hold through the night
Mmm, the shadows will run
Mmm, fend off the enemy
Sing out the jubilee
With all the fire we can breathe
We're singin' all day, and you can't tame it
High tide, low tide, you know
Nighttime, mornin' time, and we're goin' strong
Headed up, down the river
Oh, Lord, I feel the reveling
I feel a change on the rise
What good's a man
Who's lost his soul?
Can't take a stand
Mmm, when his flame's gone cold
Mmm, fend off the enemy
Sing out the jubilee
With all the fire we can breathe
We're singin' all day, and you can't tame it
High tide, low tide, you know
Nighttime, mornin' time, and we're goin' strong
Headed up, down the river
Oh, Lord, I feel the reveling
I feel a change on the rise
I feel a change on the
I feel a change on the rise
I feel a change on the
I feel a change on the rise
We're singin' all day, and you can't tame it
High tide, low tide, you know
Nighttime, mornin' time, and we're goin' strong
Headed up, down the river
Oh, Lord, I feel the reveling
I feel a change on the rise
We're singin' all day, and you can't tame it
High tide, low tide, you know
Nighttime, mornin' time, and we're goin' strong
Headed up, down the river
Oh, Lord, I feel the reveling
I feel a change on the rise
I feel a change on the rise

Article reports on speeches by retiring GOP Rep. Don Bacon and Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter at Israel Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill on May 5, 2026, where both addressed surging antisemitism in the US.
1)

https://twitter.com/GREENESJ333/status/2051853191017382296

Bacon highlighted anti-Israel views gaining traction in the Democratic Party and warned of social media misinformation undermining the US-Israel partnership in defense, intelligence, and technology.

Leiter pointed to college campuses as primary centers of anti-Jewish hate, linking it to radical ideologies, language manipulation by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, and narratives denying Jewish historical ties to Israel post-Oct. 7 attacks.

BREAKING: I asked Claude to upgrade my LinkedIn profile.

It didn’t just “upgrade” it. It turned it into a recruiter magnet.

Here are the exact 7 prompts I used:

1. Authority Content Ideas

"Give me 15 LinkedIn post ideas that position me as an expert in [your niche] and attract inbound leads."

2. Profile Strategy Audit

"Act as a LinkedIn personal branding strategist. Audit my current profile and identify why it's not attracting inbound leads. Be brutally honest."

The Satyajit Ray of Indian Politics — A First-Hand Account of Bengal’s Redemption 🧵

To the armchair critics sitting hundreds of kilometers away: your "political analysis" of Bengal is noise. I was born and raised in the heart of Kolkata. I didn't read about Bengal in a textbook; I breathed its dust, felt its fear, and watched its slow decay. This is for you.

You see videos of celebrations today and call it "unrest." You don’t understand. This is the sound of a glass ceiling shattering after 50 years of suffocation. This is the primal scream of a people who have finally broken their chains. ⛓️🔥

Let’s talk about the Satyajit Ray of Bengal Politics. In 1992, the Academy gave Ray an Honorary Oscar with a citation that shook the world:

"In recognition of his rare mastery of the art of motion pictures, and of his profound humanitarian outlook..."

Today, the citation for Narendra Modi in the hearts of Bengalis is identical. He has shown a "rare mastery" over the art of governance and a "profound humanitarian outlook" for a state that was left to rot. He is the director of our state's rebirth.

For those who didn't grow up there, let me tell you what "normal" was. I grew up in Tollygunge. While the world talked about the "Cultural Capital," we lived in a downtown gang war zone. You wouldn't know what a PETO is. A Peto is a crude, handmade bomb—wrapped in jute string, packed with shrapnel and gunpowder. In Bengal, these weren't just for terrorists; they were used in local area fights. You’d be walking to buy milk and hear a deafening thud—that was just the "Para" boys settling a score.

I want to share how this was uncovered for anybody who feels physically off in the hopes it may help...

I'm years into this existing and it was incidentally uncovered last September.

Here's what the doctors missed beginning in 2024 and what I'd do different ⬇️

https://twitter.com/chooserich/status/2051436929493651860

At the beginning of 2024 as I began going viral with "Choose Rich", my body was feeling off.

I had a rash appear on my ankles and it was quite itchy.

The rash continued to expand up my body and for months I was the most uncomfortable I have ever felt physically in my life...

Went to multiple dermatologists to identify what was wrong.

They tested and treated for scabies, STDs (wasn't), contact dermatitis (wasn't), did allergy patch testing (nothing), and finally concluded "Eczema"...

By October 2024 I was prescribed Dupixient to help...

Trump DOJ opposes the release of SPLC grand jury transcripts, but what the memo *doesn't* say speaks volumes. Feds don't dispute the SPLC's account of the Trump admin's "gross misrepresentations" about the informant program.

Instead, the US Attorney says that's "not relevant."

Why that matters.🧵

The SPLC's motion seeking the grand jury records rattled off a series of "false statements" by Trump and his surrogates about Charlottesville and the informants program.

The group said info gathered there thwarted a terrorist attack and led to arrests. allrisenews.com/p/splc-tipped-…

Debunking Trump's revisionist history of Charlottesville, SPLC said it handed the FBI a 45-page “Event Alert” with informant-gathered information.

The dossier tipped off agents about the names, photos, criminal histories and "weapons of choice of the people there."

I scored every serious option for ending the Islamic Republic.

Not opinions. Actual research: sanctions data, IAEA reports, CIA assessments, post-strike analysis, protest death tolls.

Six options. Six dimensions. One winner.

Each option scored across:
1. Probability of actually ending the regime
2. Speed to outcome
3. Collateral harm to Iranian civilians
4. Cost and risk to the US
5. International legitimacy
6. Historical track record

Max score: 60. Let's go:

🔴 #6 - WAITING FOR COLLAPSE
Score: 21/60

The theory: sanctions + time = regime implosion.

The reality: Iran's rial hit 1.4 million per dollar in late 2025. The largest uprising since 1979 erupted across all 31 provinces. The IRGC's response? Live fire. 30,000 dead in 48 hours.

Forty-seven years of economic misery and the mullahs are still there.

There is not a single documented case in modern history of a theocratic security state collapsing passively under external pressure alone. Not one.

Score breakdown: near-zero on regime-ending probability. Near-zero on speed. The only thing it has going for it is low cost to America and minimal US fingerprints, which is exactly why administrations keep defaulting to it.

Verdict: Not a strategy. A delay tactic dressed up as patience.

🔴 #5 - DIPLOMACY & NEGOTIATIONS
Score: 22/60

The Obama JCPOA. The Trump withdrawal. The Biden re-engagement. Five rounds of indirect nuclear talks in spring 2025. All of it collapsed before Israel's jets were airborne in June.

Here's the fundamental problem diplomacy cannot solve: the Islamic Republic's legitimacy is inseparable from its confrontational identity. A regime that makes peace with America ceases to justify its own existence.

The JCPOA delayed enrichment. It didn't change one behavior. Iran kept funding Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis throughout. The ink was barely dry when Khamenei called for USA and Israel's destruction.

Score breakdown: Maximum points for international legitimacy and low cost to the US. Near-zero for regime-ending probability and speed. The track record dimension is simply brutal. 45 years of talks, zero behavioral transformation.

Verdict: Useful as a pressure valve. Useless as an endgame.

🟡 #4 - ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
Score: 27/60

This one is complicated because sanctions DO work. Just not in the direction anyone intended.

Here's what the data actually shows:

→ Iran's oil exports fell from 2.7M barrels/day to 1.5M at peak pressure
→ Inflation hit 40-50% annually by 2024
→ The rial lost catastrophic value year over year
→ The middle class shrank dramatically

And yet. A peer-reviewed study from ScienceDirect found the following: sanctions strengthened the Iranian state, impoverished its population, increased repression, and escalated Iran's military posture. A Stanford/Johns Hopkins research team reached the same conclusion after four decades of data.

How? Because when the civilian economy collapses, the IRGC, which runs a vast sanctions-evasion black market, becomes more economically dominant, not less. Sanctions are making the IRGC richer relative to everyone else.

The China problem makes this worse. By 2025, Iran was exporting 1.6M barrels/day, a five-year high, almost entirely to Beijing. The snapback sanctions reimposed by the UN in September 2025 barely dented it. Clingendael's analysis is clear: unless you target China's banks and ports directly, the numbers don't move enough.

Score breakdown: High marks for low US cost and legitimate international standing. Brutal score on collateral harm to ordinary Iranians. Near-zero on regime-ending probability and speed.

Verdict: Necessary but nowhere near sufficient. A pressure multiplier, not a solution.

🟡 #3 - COVERT OPERATIONS & TARGETED ASSASSINATION
Score: 34/60

This is where Israel and to a lesser extent the US has built a genuinely impressive track record.

Stuxnet destroyed 1,000 centrifuges without a single soldier crossing a border.>>

The 2020 assassination of nuclear chief Mohsen Fakhrizadeh set Iran's program back years. In June 2025, Mossad killed over a dozen of Iran's top nuclear scientists in the opening hours of the operation, names that took decades to train and cannot be simply replaced.

But the most consequential evolution was strategic, not tactical. After the June 2025 Twelve-Day War, Mossad chief David Barnea reversed the agency's longstanding doctrine. For years, Mossad had dismissed regime change as "futile and impossible." Barnea concluded otherwise, devising a plan to pair decapitation strikes with internal uprising as an integrated campaign, not sequential steps.

The February 2026 operation was the test of that doctrine. Khamenei was killed. The IRGC commander was killed. The defense minister was killed.

But the regime didn't fall. Mojtaba Khamenei was installed. The IRGC held its loyalty.

This reveals the ceiling of covert ops alone: you can eliminate the leadership, but you cannot eliminate the institutional infrastructure that produces and sustains the leadership.

Score breakdown: Strong historical track record, low collateral harm, reasonable cost. Weak on regime-ending probability and international legitimacy. Best used as a force multiplier for other strategies, not a standalone.

Verdict: Indispensable. Insufficient.

🟡 #2 - MILITARY AIRSTRIKES
Score: 37/60

The June 2025 Twelve-Day War was operationally extraordinary.

200 Israeli jets. Over 100 targets. Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan struck. The IAEA director called the damage at Fordow "very significant" and said it was "extremely unlikely" that centrifuges survived. CIA Director Ratcliffe said key facilities were "destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years."

The US deployed the largest bomb in its conventional arsenal, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, against a deeply buried nuclear facility for the first time in history.

The nuclear program was set back. By how much? The honest answer: months at the low end, years at the high end, depending on whether Iran can access its 409kg stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium that disappeared from IAEA oversight after the strikes.

Then came February 28, 2026. Khamenei was killed. The IRGC high command was killed.

And the regime is still there.

This is the paradox that every military analyst eventually confronts: airstrikes can degrade, decapitate, and devastate. They cannot occupy, govern, or replace. The morning after the most successful bombing campaign in modern history, Iran still had the IRGC, the Basij, the clerical courts, the prison system, the surveillance apparatus, and a new supreme leader installed within days.

The European Leadership Network put it cleanly: "Military force can delay and disrupt a nuclear program, but it cannot erase nuclear knowledge from a determined state."

Score breakdown: High speed, meaningful regime-ending probability when combined with other tools. Low scores on collateral harm (600+ civilian deaths in June 2025 alone), international legitimacy (100+ international law experts called the strikes a violation of the UN Charter), and cost to the US.

Verdict: The most powerful tool in the arsenal but it opens a door, it doesn't walk through it.

🟢 #1 - SUPPORTING INTERNAL UPRISING
Score: 40/60 - TOP SCORE

This is not idealism. This is what the data points to.

January 2026: the largest popular uprising in Iran since the 1979 revolution. Every single one of Iran's 31 provinces. Over 200 cities. The Tehran Grand Bazaar, the most conservative, religious, pro-regime institution in Iranian society, the same institution that brought Khomeini to power in 1979, shut down and joined the protests.

The regime's response: an internet blackout, foreign militias imported to supplement the IRGC, and a massacre. 30,000 dead in 48 hours by some estimates. 18,400 arrested in the first week.

And yet, they kept coming.>>

The will to overthrow this regime is not in question. Analysts at Brookings, Stimson, and Chatham House all reached the same conclusion: "The core obstacle is not a lack of awareness, information, or popular will. It is the absence of popular leadership capable of converting repeated protest waves into sustained political agency."

That is a solvable problem. Unlike geography, unlike nuclear physics, unlike IRGC loyalty, leadership deficits can be addressed through external support.

The US attempted this. Trump admitted sending arms through Kurdish intermediaries before the February 2026 campaign. The Kurds denied receiving them. The weapons apparently never arrived. The channel failed.

This is the honest scorecard on this option:

Highest regime-ending probability of any non-kinetic strategy.
Only option where Iranians themselves are the mechanism, producing legitimate, durable change.
Strong historical precedent (France/American Revolution, US/Afghan Mujahideen, West/Ukraine).
No need for a US ground war.
The popular base already exists at historic scale.

But:
No unified opposition leadership , monarchists, republicans, Kurds, Baluch, MEK all pulling in different directions.
IRGC surveillance makes internal organization extremely dangerous.
No secure delivery channel for material support.
Iran's geographic isolation makes logistics brutal.
If it fails, the regime uses it as proof of foreign interference to consolidate further.

The CIA is currently in active talks with Kurdish groups, KDPI and PJAK, to use them as a vector into western Iran. This is real. The question is whether Washington has the operational discipline to build a channel that actually works: verified delivery, unified command structure, and a credible post-regime political framework that gives the Iranian people something to fight for, not just against.

Verdict: The highest-potential option with the worst execution record so far.

The real conclusion:

No single option scores above 67%. That's not a coincidence, it's the finding.

The research points to one thing: a synchronized campaign where airstrikes and covert decapitation serve as an enabler, cracking the IRGC's command structure and creating a window, while direct, verified support reaches a unified internal opposition with a post-regime roadmap already on the table.

June 2025 blew open the door. February 2026 tried to walk through it. The uprising was already burning in January.

All three elements were present, just not coordinated.

The Islamic Republic has survived 47 years by ensuring that no external pressure and no internal revolt ever arrived at the same moment, with the same intensity, with the same organization.

That window is narrowing. The next time it opens, it may be the last time.
