DID YOU KNOW? 🇰🇪 Under the Access to Information Act, any public office you write to for information MUST respond within 21 working days. Whether you’re asking about a local road project’s cost or a national debt contract, they cannot simply ignore you. If they do, they are in breach of the law! Pro-Tip: If the 21 days are up and your inbox is empty, it’s time to call the Ombudsman (CAJ). Accountability isn't just a request; it's your Constitutional right. #AccessToInfo #AccountabilityNow

Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel. The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.
Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA

Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press. In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. Israel - whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse - is portrayed as the guilty party. This publication is no coincidence. It is part of a false and well-orchestrated anti-Israel campaign aimed at placing Israel on the UN Secretary-General’s blacklist. Israel will fight these lies with the truth - and the truth will prevail.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

Israeli settlers today forced the family of Hussein Asasa, buried hours earlier in the Asasa cemetery south of Jenin, to dig up their father as Israeli security forces stood by. According to the family, they moved his body to another cemetery under a hail of stones from settlers. "This is appalling and emblematic of the dehumanisation of Palestinians that we see unfolding across the OPT. It spares no one, dead or alive," Ajith Sunghay, head of @OHCHR_Palestine. The cemetery sits 300 meters from Sa Nur settlement, re-established in 2025. Palestinians must now obtain Israeli permits to bury their dead there, as Hussein's family had done that same morning.

Look at how the BBC frames it. "If the people want me to have a third term, I will accept." Like it's a humble offer. Like the people are begging him. But here is what the headline leaves out. Tshisekedi is already serving his second term. The DRC constitution limits the president to two terms. What he is suggesting is an illegal power grab dressed up as democracy. And why does the BBC soften this? Because Tshisekedi is their man. He plays nice with Western mining companies. He keeps cobalt flowing to your electric cars. He does not expel your diplomats. When a leader in Mali or Burkina Faso talks about extending terms, the BBC calls it a coup or a regression. When a Western-backed leader does it, the headline is gentle. "He may consider." Same continent. Same violation of term limits. Different framing. That is not journalism. That is propaganda with a British accent.
BBC News Africa@BBCAfrica

"If the people want me to have a third term, I will accept." Democratic Republic of Congo's President Félix Tshisekedi has said he may consider seeking a third term in office when his mandate expires in 2028. bbc.in/42n0hml

Harry Truman once said: “The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.” Fellow Kenyans, our crisis did not begin yesterday. The looting. The illegal debt. The betrayal of the Constitution. The collapse of public services. The silence of career politicians. These are old scripts repeated by leaders who believe Kenyans forget quickly. They believe another scandal will trend. Another distraction will come. Another funeral, another handshake, another coalition, another slogan. Meanwhile, you pay more taxes for debts you never approved and never benefited from. Between 2014 and 2024, Kenya borrowed Sh9.11 trillion. Only Sh2.57 trillion received proper parliamentary approval. The remaining Sh6.54 trillion is odious debt, unconstitutional borrowing forced onto the backs of struggling citizens. This is why food prices rise while wages stagnate. This is why hospitals lack medicine while billions disappear. This is why schools decline while politicians grow richer. This is why young people graduate into hopelessness. And while Kenya bleeds, legacy politicians remain silent. Many are not fighting to fix the system. They are fighting to inherit it. They criminalize protesters. They weaponize police. They reward political loyalists with advisory jobs funded by taxpayers. They protect corruption networks while ordinary Kenyans suffer. We go to court because the Constitution is the last line of defense between the people and organized state plunder. From the struggle for independence in 1963, to Saba Saba, to the 2010 Constitution, every generation of Kenyans has been called to defend freedom against greed and impunity. History is watching us now. If we remain silent while our country is looted, future generations will remember us as the people who watched Kenya collapse and did nothing. Read history. Defend the Constitution. Reject fear. Reject silence. Reject thieves disguised as leaders. We must be a nation that reads, remembers, and refuses to be misled by the same old tricks. Know your history, defend your rights, and let us not be "newly" surprised by what we should have already learned. Kenya istahili heshima #OdiousDebt #ReKe #Constitutionalism

When two heads of state meet to discuss how to whip and discipline citizens demanding accountability, we’ve crossed from democracy into dictatorship. President Suluhu’s call for President Ruto to join her in suppressing Gen Zs is a conspiracy against constitutional rights. The audacity to frame calls for good governance as notorious behaviour that must be tamed is an insult to every freedom our constitutions guarantee. Democracy is anchored on the fundamental pillars of the rule of law, human rights and accountable leadership. These aren’t negotiable. If exercising our constitutional right to protest makes us deserving of canes and whips then our leaders have forgotten who they serve. We will not be silenced. We will not be beaten into submission. The Constitution is our shield and defender and not the whims of those who fear accountability.

A WhatsApp message was sent about a German Muslim man who had passed away. None of his family was Muslim except his wife. There was no one to pray janazah over him or bury him in the Muslim cemetery. What happened next is what every Muslim needs to hear.

@MrAdetilewa @carbone_nikolas Muhammad Ali didn't put his on the wall for not wanting people to walk on his star, but because he didn't want people to walk on the word Muhammad which is precious to us Muslims

Out of curiousity, I did a quick Google search to know the exact number of Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. According to the results, there are currently 2,842 stars embedded on the Holywood Walk of Fame. To answer your question, old stars are never removed to make room for new ones. Once a star is installed, it is considered a permanent part of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is a registered California State Historic Landmark. New stars are added roughly every week on the sidewalk. And the most unique star is that of Muhammad Ali which is on a wall because he doesn't want people walking on his star.

imagine this happening to you. there is no one you can call. there's a soldier up ahead ready to arrest you if you dare defend yourself. the only reason you are even seeing this is because there's a leftist Jewish Israeli activist filming it from inside, where he's trying to protect the family by documenting what Israeli settlers do on a daily basis.

Australian actor Harry Cook breaks down in tears watching a 10 year old boy being torn from his family and later murdered by Israeli forces. Every single time these clips surface, the tears come unashamed. After 18 months of this nightmare unfolding since October 7th, 2023, I’m strangely grateful: my humanity and conscience remain, and I feel just raw, functioning outrage. You know right from wrong when you see it. This is indubitably wrong on a level that does not break, bend, nor forgive. Never forget your humanity. #palesti̇ne

"They're bulldozing the villages, & they claim that these are Hezbollah command centres, as if every house in every village is a command centre. Its absurd" "The corollary of that is.. they're going to have to eliminate every house" "Exactly" Look what they did in Gaza.
