Apartheid.

🇲🇽🚨 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum just made it clear: Mexico has every right to send fuel to Cuba, whether for humanitarian or commercial reasons. No apology. No hesitation. No asking permission. Washington has spent six decades telling the world who can trade with Cuba and who cannot. Mexico is saying that era is over. Sovereign nations make their own trade policy. They do not wait for a blockade to be lifted. They act. First Mexico restarts oil shipments. Now the President is putting the empire on notice. Cuba is not alone. Latin America is waking up. And the days of Washington dictating who gets fuel and who gets starved are coming to an end.

Spain Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez: "Trump is someone who will set the world on fire and then blame smoke caused by that. He has been wrong for 18 days of war. I urge everyone to call him out" Retweet if you agree with Spain Prime Minister.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

15 years ago, a 'product' like Astro Talk would be laughed out of investor offices. Let alone, an ad during the IPL feat a working woman being reassured by an astrologer on a screen. Today, it has a $300 mn valuation. Do we no longer even pretend to be rational as people?

🇧🇷 The President of Brazil declares: Iran has also been attacked. I am very angry! Why does everyone with power think they own the world?! We are no longer colonies. We have our independence. Come, let us cry out! The empire bombed Iran. Sanctioned Venezuela. Blockaded Cuba. Invaded Iraq. Destroyed Libya. Colonized Palestine. And the world is supposed to stay silent. Brazil speaks. The Global South rises. We are no longer colonies. We are not asking permission. We are declaring independence. Come, let us cry out. Not with tears. With voices. With unity. With resistance.

Never seen anything quite like this story…

Dear PM @narendramodi, just wanted to bring to your attention that your government has refused to process my resignation for 6.5 years. No salary and no release. This has stopped me from professionally moving on. And has also prevented me from contesting elections in Kerala. This is pure harassment and nothing else. I've chosen not to raise my personal issue as I am very well aware the kind of hardships millions are going through under your governance. But blocking my right to resign and take part in the democratic process is pathetic and petty, whatever my political position is. Stop this pettiness and direct your lethargic government to process my resignation immediately.

Doctors are manually operating ventilators in order to keep babies alive in Cuba. The U.S. is laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel, power is out, leaving hospitals without electricity. Dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others will die. This’s a crime against humanity.

REPORTER 1: You are accused of working for BJP. Your response? REPORTER 2: Impeachment notice in Parliament, elections in 5 states… how will you ensure free and fair polls? REPORTER 3: Allegations of voter removal… your response? REPORTER 4: When will people trust ECI again? CEC GYANESH: The commission does not wish to engage in such dialogues 🤐 WORLD’S LARGEST DEMOCRACY SAAR 💥

@wanglaurentceo Something like that, if confirmed, should not just "end careers", but be immediately investigated and prosecuted. Imposing collective punishment on civilians is an international crime.

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC: • Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards • I cannot make any purchases • I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal • Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated • A colleague told me my name won’t be removed from the blacklist until Trump’s term ends • Despite intervention by the French president, U.S. authorities have not responded

When my film #Sengadal,The DeadSea(2011) was submitted to CBFC for certification, the film was banned stating the reason that this film would ruin the relationship between India and SriLanka. I appealed to the Tribunal and won the certification without a single cut. Of course it was an ordeal but I had to take it up to protect my fundemental rights to free expression and the audience’s right to watch an important story of the times without state censorship. Till date there is no film like #Sengadal that could voice the lives and trials of Tamil fishermen and refugees in India. BJP unconstitutionally abolished the Tribunal(FCAT) in 2022 to build a free way to propaganda films like Dhurandhar and censor films that do not serve its fascist politics. When will the film fraternity wakeup?

If anyone in Chennai is interested in co-organizing a samizdat screening of The Voice of Hind Rajab, please let me know via DM. I've a copy of the film and am happy to lease a projector, but am looking for a space for the screening.

When monsters guard the gate, truth is denied entry. Hind Rajab was 5. She was trapped in a car in Gaza with her dead family, she spent her final hours pleading with paramedics on the phone. An Israeli tank fired hundreds of rounds – killing her, and the rescuers sent to save her. This is what Narendra Modi is trying to shield - a horror so stark that it stirs the nation's conscience and demands a moral response. Why – is it fear, complicity, or moral collapse?

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

At least 1.5 lakh kilo of Amul's expired food products were destroyed by the food safety department in Jaipur, Rajasthan. A firm had bought the expired products at throw away prices and was planning to push it in the market by erasing old and reprinting a fresh expiry date. Thinner, acetocin and other chemicals were recovered for erasing the expiry date.

Brief history of time.

‘More FUN to sink ships!’ Donald Trump. Audience laughs! This is what the world’s most powerful man has reduced war to: a BIG BOSS reality entertainment show. And this is America, a country much of the world has admired for so long. GROTESQUE.
