The earthquake in Afghanistan has killed eight members of the same family when their home collapsed in the Gosfand Dara area of Kabul province. A child aged around two years old was the only survivor.

Mamdani opened up about his journey from immigrant child to becoming the city's 112th mayor, calling it a dream realized. Born in Uganda in 1991 and arriving in New York at age 7, he's now the youngest person to hold the office in over a century and the city's first Muslim and African-born mayor.

Families can go on wagon rides, roast marshmallows, and take photos with a jumbo Easter egg while searching for treat-stuffed eggs at Loudoun County's outdoor play place.

The event was once described by The New York Times as 'a cross between a Jewish summer camp in the Catskills and a progressive jazz concert.' Past incarnations have featured Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Lou Reed.

The spices are merely a vessel for culture, community, storytelling, and politics. The recipes were so fresh, simple, and seasonal. That's not the version of South Asian food that most people know.

"In 'break bad (freddy flexing)' (2021), a slim man's attempt to exert physical strength instead displays his fragility. A gentleness in his eyes suggests truer strength beneath the performance."

"This is an extraordinary claim the president is making that is at odds with what everyone has understood about American citizenship. Our team is defending an American tradition."

Faqiri rushed to the rehabilitation center after the airstrike, but could not find his brother among the survivors. He spent the next two days visiting hospitals in Kabul, but there was no sign of Qais.

The team is great with me. They really put me in the right conditions to perform. Even during Ramadan, they help me a lot with everything: room service at 4 a.m.-everything you need in terms of nutrients.

Naima dives deep into life goals with a fierce passion, yet she often finds herself buffeted by currents. Sixteen years ago, she had moved to the country for love, only to be mistreated by her Swiss husband. Since her diploma was not recognised in Switzerland, she went from managing a team of 48 to being wholly dependent on her partner.

Distance does not soften the terror. It only deepens my helplessness. In moments like this, I realize that geography is not measured in miles, but in attachment. War rearranges distance. These days I find myself returning to "The Conference of the Birds," the 12th-century poem by Attar of Nishapur, seeking meaning through ancient wisdom about spiritual journeys and transformation.

Logma's sandwiches, which have become the most popular item on the menu, were born out of necessity when the owners opened without plates or cutlery.

I don't feel out of place like this. It's like a family reunion. I love the creativity that's always been here, said Tameka Hendon, who has been attending since 2019. She said her friend handmade her customized cosplay, which features a motorized rotating ballerina in the wig, and was inspired by Queen Charlotte's Swan wig in Bridgerton.

Not a day passes without some overt expression of it in our national life. A crime committed by one Muslim becomes an indictment of all Muslims. A cultural practice is wrenched from context and weaponised to provoke anxiety. A theological concept is distorted to imply threat. And on the streets, and increasingly online, it can turn into violence, intimidation or exclusion directed at anyone who looks Muslim.

Unlike virtually all other non-European ethnicities, SWANA - or Middle Eastern/North African (MENA), as used in the show - is grouped under "White" on the US census. It's not just the census, though. It's medical forms, college applications, just about anything with a check box for ethnicity. Efforts have been made to change this, with some success. More institutions are adding a separate category on forms - and one might appear on the 2030 census.

The snow day email arrives before dawn, glowing softly on my phone. Even after all these years, that early morning message still feels like a small miracle a quiet signal that the city has agreed to pause. As a child, it felt like winning a secret lottery. As an adult and a school principal, the feeling hasn't left me.

Chef Tiana has an amazing personality and she is doing something very similar to what I'm doing at Maydan. I preserve my culture through food and try to explain the Middle East to people through feeding them, and she does the same thing. One of her parents is Black and one is Filipino and she represents Southern food culture with Filipino food,

I made a pastry cream with saffron, and bloomed it in the milk for the pastry cream - no vanilla, because we really want the saffron to shine brightly. I decided to make white chocolate tempered with saffron, which I blended and dipped the pastry into, which creates that nice little crunch. It's very saffron-forward, but the white chocolate helps break it up.

Die Sauna is free after 6pm, she said cheerfully in a mix of German and English, adding that all I needed was a towel. From that day on, sweating in the steaming sauna became my nightly ritual. I couldn't quite join the occasional conversations that bubbled up around me my German was very basic and my confidence level was hitting rock bottom. So mostly I sat quietly, listening, nodding, absorbing the rhythm of strangers unwinding at the end of their day.

It's my mom's favorite country, and the house we share is full of treasures from her travels there, from peacock fans and silk scarves, to jewelry boxes carved from mango wood. I grew up in the UK, hearing spellbinding tales of painted elephants and mirrored palaces, and India soon occupied a special place in my imagination. Having got to 42 without making it to the promised land, this summer my chances of going there felt slimmer than ever.

He talked about supporting New Yorkers "who feed us biryani and beef patties, picanha and pastrami on rye." He named-dropped his favorite pizza spot in the city, Morningside Heights Koronet Pizza. And then he succinctly expressed the wonders of the city: "Where else can you hear the sound of the steelpan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?"

Never heard of "the Bridge District"? The newly christened neighborhood is a development in Anacostia near the eastern foot of the Frederick Douglass Bridge, and this new taproom from Atlas Brew Works, where you can sip microbrews and snack on pizza and wings, is among its first occupants. The facility also doubles brewing capacity for the DC-born producer, which makes craft beers such as Ponzi IPA and Bullpen Pilsner.

Is there anything better than pulling into a diner parking lot and seeing an "open" sign glowing in the window? Jonesing for a bottomless cup of coffee? You got it. Triple-decker sandwich with crispy french fries? Coming right up. Roasted turkey with all the fixings no matter what the calendar says? Just say the word. We combed the region for its homiest, most classic diners.

On 15 June 2025, the Trump administration issued an official statement directing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to begin what it described as the largest mass deportation operation in American history. Major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York were identified as primary targets. The stated goal was to keep communities safe and free from illegal alien crime, conflict, and chaos.
