Oh I do hope Kendrick Lamar saw this! 😆

Today, we celebrate a life that has refused to bow to dictatorship. A man who chose conviction over comfort. That he sits, languishing in jail on his 70th birthday, is yet another reminder of how much he has had to sacrifice for the sake of our country and its people. Sending out revolutionary birthday greetings to Dr. Kizza Besigye Kifefe. May his sacrifice never go in vain. May he live long enough to see the kind of Uganda he has wholeheartedly fought for.

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

Statement on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

Your Excellency, allow us to comment on this post in which we are of the view that it has missed a few important chapters of international law: 1. Aggression originates from the U.S. and the Israeli regime use of regional water, air and land territories: Based on Article 3(f) of the UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) (Definition of Aggression, 14 December 1974), “The action of a State in allowing its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other State for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third State” constitutes aggression. For months, we had warned neighboring countries—particularly those along the Persian Gulf—that any aggression from their soil against Iran would be met with our inherent right to self‑defense. Despite their denials, numerous attacks against Iran have been launched from U.S. bases in these countries, a small example being the downing of three military aircraft in Kuwait. 2. Violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter: The United States and the Israeli regime have violated Article 2(4) , which requires all Members to “refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.” Their military aggression against Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is the root cause of the current crisis. 3. Iran’s response is lawful, legitimate self‑defense: Our response has been strictly in exercise of our inherent right to self‑defense, consistent with international law and the principles of proportionality, necessity, and discrimination. Operations have targeted only military bases and assets of the aggressors. After these military installations were struck, enemy military personnel and forces fled into hotels and civilian centers, taking innocent civilians as hostages—a gross violation of the law of armed conflict. 4. The Strait of Hormuz: prior freedom of navigation & current restrictions: Before the U.S.‑Israeli regime military aggression against Iran’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, the Strait of Hormuz was open to all countries. Any current disruption to Persian Gulf security or maritime traffic is a direct consequence of that aggression, and full responsibility lies with the aggressors. As the coastal state, Iran has introduced necessary restrictions to ensure safe passage. Vessels belonging to non‑belligerent countries may conduct innocent passage in coordination with Iran. Clearly, vessels of belligerent parties—especially the U.S. and the terrorist Israeli regime, as well as those serving their interests—cannot use this waterway. 5. Call on all free and independent nations: The Islamic Republic of Iran expects all free and independent nations to stand on the right side of history and condemn the aggressors. We reaffirm our readiness for diplomatic solutions based on mutual respect and international law, but will not hesitate to defend our sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security. Thank you Excellency for paying due consideration the the above facts.

This is incredibly well done.

It is strange how the world can cooperate to get oil through the Iranian blockade at the Strait of Hormuz but still aren't able to get food through the Israeli blockade at the borders of Gaza.

BREAKING: Cuba's electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. It’s the first nationwide blackout since the US blocked the flow of oil to Cuba. This was entirely caused by the US. The US is strangling Cuba to death so it can come in & take control of the country.

#TammunMassacre Khaled and Mustafa Odeh, aged 11 and 8, were left orphans after the Israeli army murdered their parents, Ali and Waad, and little siblings, Mohammad and Othman, 5 and 6, in the occupied West Bank, as they were driving in the family car going home. After soldiers killed their family, they dragged the two surviving brothers by their hair as they desperately screamed for help. The boys were forced into a Jeep, stripped naked, and beaten with metal rods. The soldiers celebrated the massacre by saying, “we killed dogs.” An ambulance nearby was not allowed to approach their family. An hour later, the two children were released and instructed to simply keep walking straight ahead. This is how the children report that their father, their mother, and their two younger brothers, were executed.

“They are shooting at a car with a little girl inside surrounded by dead bodies, can you imagine that?” 8 minutes to reach her 355 bullets fired 1 voice to change the world The Voice of Hind Rajab #Oscars 🇵🇸

BREAKING: Israel just executed Mohammad with a direct shot to the head. He was only 5 years old. He was killed along with his 6-year-old brother Othman and their parents in the occupied West Bank. A whole innocent family erased.

While the world was focusing on Iran, israelis carried out 192 attacks, including arson and serious assaults, against Palestinian communities english.palinfo.com/news/2026/03/1…

170 children killed in Iran, 83 children killed in Lebanon in Israeli airstrikes in just one week. Imagine a world where the blood of young children, their decapitated bodies does nothing to our conscience, we are still debating the ‘context’ of their murder

US Submarine Attacks An Iranian Frigate Uninvolved In The War 148 Iranian sailors are now missing in the surprise attack, in Intl Waters, thousands of kilometres from Iran. A rather embarrassing cowardly attack for the world’s most powerful military to claim as a victory.
