Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by UNESCO. Unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes flagrantly, sometimes in hidden ways. Let us remember the many journalists and reporters who are victims of war and violence.

“Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.” Rest well Rev. Jesse Jackson

As a former US intel official who lived in autocratic countries and saw their security forces operate against their populations, what is happening with ICE is deeply concerning. This is unAmerican (masked raids, snatching people off streets). We r heading down a very bad road.

The Boondocks was meant to be satire, not an instruction manual.

Reporter: Are you going to deport Elon Musk? Trump: We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.

Born in Rumbek, South Sudan 🇸🇸. Raised in Uganda 🇺🇬 since he was 2. Picked up interest in playing basketball after a boda boda man told him he was too tall for his age. Started playing at 14 & 4 years later, he is a top 10 NBA Draft 2025 pick. Wow! 🤯

This story starts with a tragedy. A bystander on Moi Avenue watching protests in central Nairobi. Two police officers walk up to him. They shout at him, hit him, then one shoots him at point blank range. ⚠️Warning: Distressing images⚠️

USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists. ift.tt/aMLIUnv

RIP Sly Stone (1943–2025), the funk pioneer who made the world dance, think, and get higher. His music changed everything—and it still does.

Congratulations to @CocoGauff for an amazing championship at the French Open — the first American singles champion at @RolandGarros in a decade. You make us all proud.

Africa mourns the loss of the literary giant Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, whose writing challenged to us to embrace our African heritage and decolonize our minds. His passing comes soon after we marked Africa Day, and we reflect on a towering legacy that stands as a source of pride for Africans everywhere. His unwavering commitment to writing in African languages and his contributions to African philosophy have left an indelible mark. Rest in power, son of the soil.

I miss you both tremendously and love you incredibly!!!! Have an amazing special day!!! 😘😘😘 your little sister 🥰

Our friend and brother @CedricNdilima is fighting for his life in the ICU. He needs a heart transplant that can only be done abroad. Every donation counts. Please help share his story and support his fight. gofundme.com/f/help-cedric-…

Celebrate people while they are still here to feel it. I am grateful that in June last year, in Atlanta, we honored Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o while he could still take it all in. He wanted the song “Mwene Nyaga”. He got it. And he was happy. May the day break

“If you know all the languages of the world but don’t know your mother tongue, that is enslavement,” Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o told me in 2015. “Tribalism is a colonial invention,” he added

It tears my heart to say that my father, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o passed away earlier today. I am me because of him in so many ways, as his child, scholar and writer. I love him - I am not sure what tomorrow will bring without him here. I think that is all I have to say for now.
