🚨 BREAKING: The Trump admin has CONFIRMED an American has tested POSITIVE for Ebola, but they will NOT be brought back to the US They will be treated in GERMANY The CDC also confirmed they implemented a TRAVEL BAN on foreigners who've passed through Uganda, Congo, and South Sudan.

Moment xenophobic South Africans were seen ransacking the homes of African immigrants. You can’t tell me the government isn’t supporting this because the police were even with them.

@PhysInHistory Lol he's great I've been channeling him a lot recently and I'm going through this exact thing right now. Terrible 🫣🫯😮‍💨🤓

Happening Now🚨 Thokoza Residents March Against Employment of Undocumented Foreign Nationals in Alrode Residents from Thokoza are currently marching to companies in Alrode, demanding the removal of undocumented foreign nationals allegedly employed at several factories in the area. The protest is part of ongoing anti-illegal immigration demonstrations that have spread across parts of South Africa in recent weeks, with community groups accusing businesses of employing undocumented workers while locals remain unemployed.

South Africa has donated $2.5 million to tackle the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo 🇨🇩 and Uganda 🇺🇬.

@daddyhope @eNCA I agree with you entirely. They're attacking him and he looks scared/stressed. There are ways of dealing with it without mobbing him, shouting and causing a scene

Dear @eNCA, I am deeply ashamed by the type of journalism displayed in this clip. As a trained journalist, and as a former eNCA journalist myself, I must say this is dangerous and highly questionable conduct, especially when a media crew is no longer merely documenting events, but appears to be facilitating or legitimising harassment. There is a major difference between reporting on an incident and becoming part of the theatre of intimidation. If a legal migrant is being surrounded, threatened or humiliated by a vigilante group, the role of journalists should be to document what is happening accurately, safely and fairly, while remaining conscious that the vulnerable person may already be under pressure or fear. Once a crew starts staging interactions, shoving microphones into faces in a way that amplifies intimidation, or giving a vigilante leader a platform without challenge or context, you cross from journalism into participation. It becomes even more problematic in South Africa, where xenophobic violence has previously led to deaths, displacement and mob attacks against African migrants, including Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Somalis and others, many of whom were legally documented, just like this man appears to be. Media coverage in such contexts requires extreme caution because images and narratives can inflame public hostility. Journalists can and should interview all sides, including controversial or vigilante figures, because journalism often requires engaging difficult voices. But ethical reporting also requires balance, context and humanity. A migrant should not be turned into a spectacle while the aggressor is normalised as an authority figure. Your crew should have avoided creating conditions where the victim felt cornered, exposed or endangered simply because cameras were present, with microphones repeatedly shoved between him and the aggressor. I am deeply embarrassed by the conduct of this eNCA crew. You should be ashamed of this type of journalism. This is precisely the kind of irresponsible media conduct that has historically inflamed violence in societies under tension. Journalists must never become participants in intimidation campaigns. In this clip, you are no longer acting as observers. You become actors within the confrontation itself, helping create a public theatre where a man who is legally in your country is harassed by an ignorant vigilante who does not even understand the law governing immigration and business ownership. A documented immigrant in South Africa has the legal right to start a business unless the conditions of their visa explicitly prohibit it. That is the law. Journalism must expose intimidation, not become the microphone of xenophobic vigilantism.

Watching Galinstan react in a copper ion acid solution felt strangely philosophical. I couldn’t believe how the liquid metal suddenly spread and moved almost like it was alive, as if matter itself only needs the right conditions to reveal hidden behavior.

.@MsMelChen explains why the American way of life is the greatest threat to the Chinese Communist Party's survival. At Tiananmen Square in 1989, students built a Statue of Liberty and recited the Declaration of Independence. The CCP called it "spiritual pollution" and they have never forgotten it. Why would individualism, liberty, and democracy be such a threat to China? Watch here 👉 l.prageru.com/4uDgKPg

@HillelNeuer Are they seriously opening this just to find out Switzerland helped him and give him a nice cushy apartment nestled in with the other creepy, constipated looking business execs over there? Surely they are not opening it to confirm that blatantly obvious fact 🙄 we already know

Croatia has stormed the Eurovision final with a historic anthem that denounces the Ottoman occupation and revives the ancient Christian tattoo tradition to protect young girls from rape Performed entirely in Croatian, the song slams centuries of Islamic Turkish occupation of their lands and recalls how Catholic girls were tattooed with Christian motifs to stop them from being abducted, converted to Islam, and forced into sexual slavery "That’s why many chose the grave, our mothers did not birth slaves” Turkey is already attacking the group for performing the song

lowly we are moving towards a science, and as I predicted, the science of AI age will be built by dreamers not so called mainstream scholars, I wanted this graphics as a guide, I imagined this as a kid but never visualized it using algorithms, we are now building it with prompts.

@BBCWorld Probably looking for pointers for the future 🤷‍♀️ Switzerland is terrifying. Always has been lol like why the fuck would you open that youtu.be/-cmL0orFlD8?si…
