@rshereme Surely that argument applies far better to the Palestinian people who have given everything to resisting a genocidal Zionist ideology.

The Ukrainian people and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Professor Dag Øistein Endsjø of the University of Oslo officially nominated the Ukrainian people and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. As a university professor, he holds the formal right to submit nominations. His argument: by defending their democracy against Russian aggression, the Ukrainian people have helped preserve peace across Europe. The nomination is not just about Zelensky as an individual. It recognizes an entire nation that has been resisting occupation, violence, and repression since 2014, and especially since the full-scale invasion of 2022.

@MichaelKGarrett What a disgrace Trump really is.

The President of the United States learned that Robert Mueller had died. And he picked up his phone and typed: “Good. I’m glad he’s dead.” I need you to stop. Put down whatever you’re doing and feel the full weight of those words. Good. I’m glad he’s dead. Said by the man who holds the most powerful office in the history of human civilization. The office of Washington. Of Lincoln. Of Roosevelt standing in the rubble of Pearl Harbor promising a nation trembling in the dark that we would rise. That office. Those words. Now let me tell you who Robert Mueller was. He did not have to go to Vietnam. He had every reason not to. A Princeton degree. A blown-out knee. A future waiting for him in the comfort of civilian life. He waited a full year for that knee to heal, just so he could serve. Let that sink in. He walked into hell when other men were running from it. He came home with a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart soaked in the blood of his sacrifice. He spent the next four decades standing in the breach, as a prosecutor, as FBI Director, as the man who held this nation together in the smoldering ash of September 12th, 2001, when we were all afraid and we needed someone steady, someone serious, someone who loved this country more than he loved himself. He was all of those things. He was a Republican. He was, by every honest measure, an American hero. And the President danced on his grave.

@113_destiny @MichaelKGarrett Trump is naturally corrupt by his nature. He is of the utmost Epstein class. The fact that you think allegations against him shouldn't be investigated the reflection of you. A bunch of corrupt cronies.

@MichaelKGarrett None of us has the right to judge a man’s reaction to the death of the man who was in charge of investigating the fake Russia collusion charge. It took him two years to conclude there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Trump. Mueller knew this from the start.

@BrianBu25828007 @MichaelKGarrett So.. doing one's job investigating the most serious allegations is unacceptable to you?

@albd1971 You lost me by paragraph 3, I didn't think the rest of it was worth reading. Mujib was only one of many before him and during his time and after him who fought for Bengali independence. It's unfortunate that we are now fighting for independence from Awami reign of terror.

Throughout world history, there have been many wars of independence. In some places, they emerged through revolutions, in others through civil wars, and elsewhere through long and bloody conflicts. But the story of the Bengali people’s independence is different. This war did not begin suddenly. Behind it lay the long-term vision of a leader, a carefully planned step-by-step strategy, and an extraordinary ability to prepare an entire nation psychologically for freedom. That leader was Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, widely known as Bangabandhu. He understood that a nation does not achieve independence overnight. The first task is to awaken a people’s sense of identity. That is why he began with the struggle for language rights, gradually transforming that consciousness into a movement for autonomy. In 1966 he announced the historic Six-Point Movement, which effectively served as the blueprint for an independent Bangladesh. Then came the 1970 Pakistani general election. The Bengali people gave him overwhelming support. That victory was not merely the result of an election—it was a powerful expression of national unity. By March 1971, the country was effectively running under his direction. Every instruction, every movement, and every programme formed part of a broader strategy. Then came the historic moment. On 7 March Speech of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangabandhu, with his thunderous voice, delivered the immortal words: “This time the struggle is for our freedom. This time the struggle is for our independence.” It was a single speech, yet within it were the instructions for resistance, strategic guidance, courage, and a vision for the future. After that speech, nearly 75 million Bengalis seemed to stand together as one. Finally, when the massacre began on Operation Searchlight on 25 March, Bangabandhu declared independence. The Bangladesh Liberation War began. History has seen many leaders wage wars and many revolutions take place. But only a few leaders have managed to prepare an entire nation step by step, secure a democratic mandate, unite their people, and ultimately lead them to independence. Bangabandhu was not just a leader—he was the architect of a successful history. And that is why whenever the story of Bengali independence is told, history ultimately arrives at one name: "Sheikh Mujibur Rahman".⁩ #Bangabandhu #7thMarch #MonthOfIndependence #SheikhMujiburRahman

@metpoliceuk I would like to raise a complaint about the below public statement which suggests that the purpose of anti genocide protests is to cause distress to Jews. Where the fact, as you very well know, is that many Jews also stand at those protests.

@AfricanHub_ They will assassinate him soon. Enjoy while it lasts.

In just two years under President Ibrahim Traoré's leadership in Burkina Faso: 1. The country's GDP rose from around $18.8 billion to $22.1 billion. 2. He turned down loans from the IMF and World Bank, declaring: “Africa has no need for the World Bank, IMF, Europe, or America.” 3. He cut ministers' and parliamentarians' salaries by 30% while raising civil servants' pay by 50%. 4. He fully cleared Burkina Faso’s domestic debts. 5. He launched the country’s first two tomato processing plants. 6. In 2023, he opened a modern gold mine to boost local refining capacity. 7. He ended the export of unprocessed gold from Burkina Faso to Europe. 8. He constructed Burkina Faso’s second cotton processing facility (the country previously had just one). 9. He established the nation’s first National Support Center for Artisanal Cotton Processing to help small-scale cotton farmers. 10. He prohibited British-style legal wigs and gowns in courts, replacing them with traditional Burkinabé clothing. 11. He supported agriculture by distributing more than 400 tractors, 239 tillers, 710 motor pumps, and 714 motorcycles to farmers and rural communities. 12. He supplied improved seeds and essential agricultural inputs to increase yields. 13. Tomato output grew from 315,000 metric tonnes in 2022 to 360,000 metric tonnes in 2024. 14. Millet production climbed from 907,000 metric tonnes in 2022 to 1.1 million metric tonnes in 2024. 15. Rice production rose from 280,000 metric tonnes in 2022 to 326,000 metric tonnes in 2024. 16. He banned French military operations on Burkinabé soil. 17. He prohibited French media outlets from operating in Burkina Faso. 18. He expelled French troops from the country. 19. His administration is actively building new roads, expanding existing ones, and upgrading gravel roads to paved surfaces. 20. Construction is underway on the new Ouagadougou-Donsin Airport, set for completion in 2025, with an annual capacity of 1 million passengers.

@CarninHall @konstructivizm Ever heard of Earthrise?

@konstructivizm Why can’t we get a good image of earth? Idk, like from the moon or something?

Beautifully said. The "Pale Blue Dot" remains one of the most profound images in human history—a humbling reminder of our place in the cosmos.Captured on February 14, 1990, by NASA's Voyager 1 from about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) away, Earth appears as a minuscule speck—less than a single pixel—suspended in a ray of scattered sunlight.This was part of Voyager's "Family Portrait" series, the last images taken before its cameras were powered down to conserve energy for the long journey into interstellar space. The idea came largely from Carl Sagan, who later reflected in his book Pale Blue Dot:"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives... Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light." In 2020, NASA released a remastered version using modern processing techniques, making our fragile world stand out even more poignantly.You're spot on: it's not just a photo; it's a call to perspective, unity, and stewardship. In an era of division, this view from the edge of our solar system underscores that we all share this one irreplaceable home. Voyager 1, now over 25 billion kilometers away and still sending data, continues to embody that spirit of curiosity and exploration.Thank you for sharing this timeless reflection.

@daveebilger @konstructivizm 😂... what you mean that wasn't a joke 😭

@konstructivizm Lmao! Fake! 🙏🏻 nothing can get in or out of the firmament. Earth is flat, stationary exactly the way the Bible depicts if you actually know how to read you know that.

@goalsside So what did he do when they played the Zimbabwean anthem?

@sfiscience European society was and remains essential a racist society down to it's core. Good effort, keep going, you can make it and be like the rest of us. Your struggles are truly unique.

For most of human history, large societies have drawn clear lines between people who belong to the in-group and those who do not. These lines determine who is recognized, protected, or granted status, and who is excluded.  But starting during the Enlightenment period, European societies and their offshoots began relaxing the rules around who was granted fundamental rights and protections, a development many scholars see as essentially unique in human history — one that has grown steadily over the past several centuries and continues today. A recent working group at the Santa Fe Institute is exploring whether this expansion of human rights truly occurred in the way it seems to have, whether it truly is unique, and what might have caused it. santafe.edu/news-center/ne…

@alanrosca @rshereme @grok And that is why no native English speaker should ever be trusted. Every weaselly word has a another weaselly meaning that can be used to undo all things done.

The US has honored its commitments to Ukraine in the Budapest Memorandum. Security assurances are not the same as security guarantees. US never offered security guarantees to Ukraine. @grok, explain the difference between security guarantees and assurances in the Budapest Memorandum.

On this day, 31 years ago, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum. Under this agreement, Ukraine relinquished the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances from the United States, the United Kingdom, and russia. Before the Memorandum was signed, renowned political scientist and international relations scholar John Mearsheimer warned that Ukraine should keep its nuclear weapons. He argued that this was the most effective way to prevent a future russian-Ukrainian war, describing such a war as a potential “catastrophe” that could lead to repeated conquest of Ukraine and “undermine peace across all of Europe.” Despite these warnings, Ukraine was pressured by the US into signing the Budapest Memorandum and dismantling its nuclear arsenal. As part of the agreement, Ukraine destroyed its fleet of long-range strategic bombers and transferred more than 1,000 cruise missiles. The United States even assisted in destroying Ukraine’s bomber fleet. In return, Ukraine received “security assurances” from the US, the UK, and russia. Russia, of course, has brutally violated these assurances along with dozens of other treaties. In fact, the same missiles Ukraine surrendered to russia are now being used against Ukrainian cities. And now, instead of honoring those commitments, the United States is pressuring Ukraine to surrender its own land to the aggressor — offering another set of “assurances” that will collapse the moment they are tested. Budapest was a historic mistake. Repeating it today would not bring peace — it would pave the road to the next, even bloodier war.

@rickmorgen @archeohistories Your hate is so blinding. Wasn't it the terror organisation known as Israel that attacked the great Iranian people.

@archeohistories Unlike the tyrannical Iranian Islamist regime today, Cyrus and the Persian people were friends with the Jews. G-d willing, that evil regime will fall and the Persian people will return to greatness in the ashes of Islamism.

The founder of the Persian Empire, Cyrus II (best known to history as Cyrus the Great) was admired by such diverse figures as Alexander the Great and Thomas Jefferson, and is the only Gentile described in the Bible as “anointed” by God. During Cyrus’s reign his dominion ultimately stretched from the Indus River to the Aegean Sea—an empire that would culturally and militarily dominate much of the ancient world for over two centuries, and whose influence would continue to be felt long afterwards. When Cyrus ascended to the throne upon the death of his father in 559 BC, Persia (Persis) was a vassal state of the Median kingdom. But in the so-called “Persian Revolt,” Cyrus led the Persians in an overthrow of Median authority, resulting in the Persian conquest of Media in 550 BC. Persian armies led by Cyrus then conquered Lydia and Asia Minor. With the conquest of Babylon in 539 BC Cyrus’s Persian Empire became the largest empire in world history to that point. Cyrus is remembered as one of history’s most successful conquerors, but also as one of history’s most benevolent. Cyrus he did not try to impose foreign religion or culture on his newly acquired subjects, instead leaving them free to worship and live largely as they pleased. Further, he allowed (and encouraged) deported people living in the territories he conquered to return to their ancestral homelands, requiring no compensation or tribute from them. It was his liberation of the exiled Hebrews in Babylon that earned him so much praise in the Bible. The book of Ezra quotes Cyrus as urging the Jews released from Babylonian captivity to return to Jerusalem and build a temple and as saying, “The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth.” In the book of Isaiah God refers to Cyrus as his “anointed,” “whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him.” In around 370 BC, Greek historian Xenophon published Cyropaedia, a biography of Cyrus describing both his heroism in battle and his wisdom in employing tolerance in the governing of his diverse empire. It was principally this example of religious and cultural toleration in government that made Cyropeadia appealing to Thomas Jefferson and other figures of the Enlightenment. In fact, Jefferson owned and treasured two copies of Cyropaedia, and he recommended it as the primary text for any student learning Greek. In 1879 in what is now modern-day Iraq, British archeologists discovered a clay cylinder dating to the time of Cyrus (now called the “Cyrus Cylinder”) that offered more historical support for the accounts of Cyrus found in the Cyropaedia and the Hebrew Bible. On the cylinder, which dates to the time of Cyrus, were inscriptions encouraging religious freedom in the Persian Empire and allowing deported people to return to their homelands. It is believed the Cyrus the Great died in December of 530 BC, but conflicting accounts of his death make it impossible to know exactly when and how he died. In the Cyropaedia Xenophon says Cyrus died peacefully in his capital, but according to other accounts he died in battle. In the best-known account (the subject of numerous paintings), Cyrus was killed in battle against the Scythians, who afterwards decapitated him and presented his head to their empress Tomyris. However Cyrus may have met his fate, he is believed to be entombed in modern-day Pasargadae, Iran. The Tomb of Cyrus located there is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The illustration is “Cyrus, King of the Persians,” by the Flemish master Gerard de Jode from around 1585. It is now in the British Museum in London, as is the Cyrus Cylinder. © A Daily Dose of History #archaeohistories

@RadharamnDas ISKON is a terror organisation, everything and everyone connected with it needs to be locked up immediately.

Another ISKCON Namhatta Centre burned down in Bangladesh. The Deities of Sri Sri Laxmi Narayan and all items inside the temple, were burned down completely 😭. The center is located in Dhaka. Early morning today, between 2-3 AM, miscreants set fire to the Shri Shri Radha Krishna Temple and the Shri Shri Mahabhagya Lakshmi Narayan Temple, which fall under the Hare Krishna Namhatta Sangha, located in Dhour village, under then jurisdiction of Turag Police Station, Dhaka district. The fire was initiated by lifting the tin roof at the back of the temple and using petrol or octane. Address: H-02, R-05, Ward-54, DNCC, Dhaka 1230. #ISKCON #SaveBangladeshiHindus

@MetCC Thank you for getting back to me. I'm shocked by the savagery of the perpetrator, I hope he gets brought to justice .

@deStreetMaster Good Afternoon. Thank you for tagging us. We are aware of the incident and the footage circulating, and officers in charge are dealing. If you are made aware of any linked footage or new information relating to this, please contact us again to update.

Hi @metpoliceuk, this video is going viral in Tower Hamlets; are you aware of this deeply troubling incident in South Quay, E14?

@DrMQureshi @metpoliceuk A common thing with these drunken cowards is that they always pick on women. Imagine if a pro peace activist behaved that way towards one of those pro Zionists on the street, just imagine, what would you have done @metpoliceuk ?

@Kahlissee People keep shouting 'Free Palestine' as if it's someone else's job. The route map to freeing Palestine is to free ourselves first of all those who are not listening to the public sentiment right here at home.

@daveatherton Go and join the protest and reclaim some of your humanity you absolute inhuman pile of dog shit.

More shocking scenes from Tower Bridge last night as the pro-Palestinian thugs run riot.

@m7mdkurd Sorry, what does looting corpses mean; are they stealing the corpses or are they stealing things from the corpses? In either case, what is the reason?

One of the worst nights yet. IOF has expelled, at gun point, many, if not most, of the doctors and patients in Al-Shifa hospital. Israeli soldiers looted hundreds of corpses from the premises. They massacred hundreds in an UNRWA school. Death toll hasn’t been updated in a week.
