Kazimba mugalu had gone to USA to beg but people have protected in his service and chased him away. Your a disgrace to Uganda . Our kids are in prison yr here looking for money. Ugandans abroad are doing the job well 😂

A fiery speech by South Africa's🇿🇦 EFF leader Julius Malema, over xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals. “You say Zimbabweans take your jobs. Nigerians take your jobs. You march, close shops and beat up people. Tell us after doing that how many jobs have you created, by beating up these Nigerians, Zimbabweans and Ghanaians? You beat people because they took your jobs. You close a shop that hires people. How many have you created after beating and chasing them? Unskilled men, with no skills, none whatsoever, say somebody took away their jobs. I don't want your votes if you behave like that. Take them away. Pushing out of school an African child that looks like you, I will never do that. You can take your votes. Make me die with my conscience very clearly. I will never refuse a pregnant woman of African descent to give birth in the clinics of South Africa. Never!”

"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.

Trump just fired all 24 members of the National Science Board. Every single one. By email. No warning. No reason given. The board has existed since 1950. The National Science Board is the independent body that oversees the National Science Foundation, the agency that distributes $9 billion in research grants every year. Its members are scientists and engineers from universities and industry. They serve six-year staggered terms specifically so they cross presidential administrations and stay independent of whoever is in power. On Friday, every single one of them got the same boilerplate email from Mary Sprowls of the Presidential Personnel Office: "On behalf of President Donald J Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service." That's it. That's the whole letter. For 76 years of institutional independence. The NSF funds the basic science behind MRIs. Cellphones. LASIK eye surgery. GPS. The internet itself. The Antarctic research stations. The deep-space telescopes. The research vessels mapping the ocean floor. Every breakthrough that made America the world's leader in science for the better part of a century traces back through grants this agency made and this board approved. The board chair, Victor McCrary, was actively advising Congress on Trump's proposed 55% cut to NSF's budget. The board was helping fight back. So Trump fired the board. Marvi Matos Rodriguez, one of the fired members, told reporters she had been reviewing an 80-page report as part of her board duties just days before being terminated. Keivan Stassun, a physicist at Vanderbilt, said NSF's leadership had already stopped responding to board oversight requests months ago. "We would ask them, 'Are you following board governance directives?' And their answer would be, in effect, 'We don't listen to you anymore.'" Now there's no board to answer to. Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, the top Democrat on the House Science Committee, called it "the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries?" That's the actual question. Because while Trump is firing American scientists, China is building research universities at a rate we cannot match. The CDC just buried a study showing vaccines work. RFK Jr. runs HHS. The EPA is gutted. The Forest Service is being broken. Half of American children are breathing dangerous air. And now the people who decide what gets researched in the United States have all been fired by email on a Friday afternoon.

REBELS: Here’s our CAUTIONARY STATEMENT on #AntiSovereigntyBill. The legal profession rejects it—and so should you—because it skipped the MANDATORY REFERENDUM. It is an act of treason under Article 3 of our Constitution. It is dead on arrival. #BangTheBill #BackOnTrack #NoApology

REBELS: Report to base. Starting next week, we’re going on the offensive against the ANTI-SOVEREIGNTY BILL & peddlers. We shall start by insulting some charlatans #Komanyoko #StandbyClassOne #NoApology

Justice in Uganda: A Study in Contrast +FRAME ONE: The Rights of a Killer +The Incident: Christopher Okello Onyun (in photo) attacks a nursery school, stabbing four innocent children to death. ≠The Response: As an angry mob gathers to seek immediate retribution, the police intervene to save him from being lynched. Good. -The Outcome: Despite the horrific nature of his crimes, Onyun is granted his constitutional right to a fair trial in a civilian court, as he should. +FRAME TWO: The Fate of the Peaceful +The Incident: Opposition supporters stage a pro-democracy protest. They carry nothing but placards; not a single stone is thrown, and no one is physically harmed. ≠The Response: These peaceful citizens are set upon by the very same police force that protected a child killer. They are subjected to brutal beatings at the scene. -The Outcome: The "justice" system takes a darker turn for the protestors: •The Disappeared: Some vanish entirely, never to be seen again. •The Tortured: Others reappear weeks later, bearing the physical scars of severe torture. •The Jurisdiction: Unlike the child killer, these peaceful civilians are denied a civilian trial. Instead, they are processed through a Military Court. ¡The Verdict Demanding democracy is treated as a greater threat to the social order than the murder of children. Good luck making sense of it.

Unconscionable. @AAgather is being denied access to her own money, money she needs to feed her children and live. Security concerns cannot justify collective punishment. Monitor if you must, but do not freeze her life. This is state overreach, a human rights violation and the bank is complicit. Name it and we nail it here. #UnfreezeAgathersAccount

This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments. I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support. Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time. In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard — directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.

*A Betrayal of Ugandans, Why the Protection of Sovereignty Bill is a Suicide Note* By Solomon Onyango #SovereigntyBillUG #RejectTheSovereigntyBill 1/2 Uganda's Cabinet recently approved the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026. The government calls it a shield against foreign interference. But a close look reveals something far darker: a "North Korean-style" law that criminalises family love, chases away investors, and treats the country's own diaspora as enemies. For a nation already starved of jobs and capital, this Bill is not sovereignty. It is a suicide note. Uganda already possesses a robust legal arsenal to track illicit finance, including the Anti-Money Laundering Act, the Financial Intelligence Authority, and the Anti-Terrorism Act. The new Bill adds nothing but paranoia. It gives a single minister the power to label any citizen receiving money from a relative abroad as a potential "foreign agent". The penalties are draconian: 20 years in prison or a fine of UGX 2 billion, equivalent to about Ksh 70 million, for failing to register a remittance. Under this regime, a mother in Tororo receiving $200 monthly from her son in London could be locked up. A church in Lira running a clinic on diaspora donations could be shuttered. While Uganda builds walls, Kenya is sprinting in the opposite direction. In 2025, diaspora remittances to Kenya surpassed $5.04 billion, more than tea, horticulture, and tourism combined. Kenya now receives more from its citizens abroad than from any single export. President Ruto's "Kazi Majuu" programme has placed over 540,000 Kenyans in overseas jobs, and the government actively strengthens bilateral labour agreements while the State Department for Diaspora Affairs works alongside ambassadors to open new markets. The results are undeniable. Remittances now finance school fees, healthcare, housing, and small businesses across Kenya. They stabilise the shilling and help meet external debt repayments. Uganda, by contrast, receives $2.5 billion in remittances, approximately 8 to 10 percent of its GDP. This Bill threatens to destroy that lifeline. The rest of the world is moving in the opposite direction. Egypt saw remittances grow 51 percent to $29.4 billion in 2024 after liberalising its exchange rate and creating diaspora savings products. West Africa's central bank now allows citizens abroad to open local accounts under the same conditions as residents. Moldova joined Europe's SEPA payment system, cutting transfer costs from €200 to near zero. South Korea's fintech firms have eliminated remittance fees for workers from Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and China. Mastercard is building digital payment platforms for migrant workers across the Gulf. Even Venezuela, under sanctions, has seen diaspora innovation create new financial technologies. Everywhere, the consensus is the same: treat the diaspora as national assets, not foreign agents. Remove barriers, don't erect prisons. The Ugandan government claims to benchmark Western laws like the US Foreign Agents Registration Act. That is a lie. FARA has exemptions for humanitarian work, legal aid, and commercial activity, and it requires judicial oversight. This Bill places power solely in a minister's hands, with no meaningful right to appeal. The truth is that this Bill aligns Uganda with Russia, North Korea, and Hungary, not with its East African neighbours Kenya and Rwanda, who actively liberalise diaspora engagement. On a continent hungry for investment, Uganda is choosing isolation.

Don’t listen to Kasujja!

The survival of monarchies lies in shielding the monarch from day-to-day politics. That is why the Lukiiko and the Katikkiro office (Kamalabyonna) are critical institutions. facebook.com/share/r/1Ak7AE… @BugandaKingdom_ @VisitBuganda

The US sends millions to #Uganda for 'military/security assistance,' arming a regime that brutalizes its citizens and destabilizes E. Congo and S. Sudan. It's the duty of patriotic Ugandans to point this out, and Americans like me who refuse to let tax dollars fund destruction.

A song so powerful that they censored it and exiled the singer, Tiken Jah Fakoly. They've divided up Africa without consulting with us, and they're surprised that we're divided.

This young lady's analysis exposes the duplicity of @WorldBankGroup & @IMFNews economists who keep justifying more loans to #Uganda on the basis of allegedly improving fundamentals. The regime has miserably failed to expand the tax base. How can Uganda ever pay back? @USTreasury

New Yorkers need more housing and we need it yesterday. I'm proud to announce Neighborhood Builders, a new program to rapidly speed up affordable housing creation on City-owned land. New Yorkers should not have to move out of the city to afford to heckle their politicians. crainsnewyork.com/real-estate/cn…

"USA Debunks Rwanda’s Defensive Measures Excuses! Rwandan Must Withdraw Its Troops from DRC. The Restoration of Congolese State Authority in the Kivus Is Unconditional! "We reiterate our call for the lifting of defensive measures and the immediate withdrawal of Rwandan troops from the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We also call for full respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of the DRC. At the same time, the Government of the DRC has committed to immediately neutralize the FDLR, at least in the areas under its control. These steps are essential to addressing the security concerns that have fueled mistrust and instability in the region. Lasting peace will also require the restoration of full state authority by the Government of the DRC throughout the Kivu’s. The Congolese people must be able to rely on their legitimate institutions to provide security, governance, and basic services in these regions." usun.usmission.gov/remarks-at-a-u…

Bernie has addressed this many times, including in one of my all-time favorite Bernie moments during a 2017 CNN debate with Ted Cruz. WATCH: Bernie takes on a Denmark-born economist from the conservative Peterson Institute. The economist starts by attacking Bernie's approach. See what happens next...

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it. Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard. Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that. Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it. That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City. If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message. Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.
