Some World Cup players and team staff are being questioned or barred from entering the U.S., angering fans and heightening concerns about how immigration enforcement will be carried out during one of the world’s most international sporting events. https://t.co/mdRM2mXIWo
Vale @ProfRAScolyer.
Your courage, perseverance and dedication to cancer research is an inspiration to us all.
Post from Richard’s offical Instagram account overnight.
May you rest in peace

There are no words that can truly hold the grief I feel right now. Israel killed @ftounifatima. I watched you grow over the years into one of Lebanon’s most fearless journalists, and I will always be proud to have called you my friend. Seeing you report the unimaginable loss of your own family in an Israeli strike broke my heart and made me fear for your safety in a way I never had before. I so desperately wish that fear had been unfounded. May you now find peace, reunited with your family and your brother who we lost today with you. Rest in peace, Fatima. You will never be forgotten.
On this day last year, Israel murdered our very dearest and bravest colleague Hossam Shabat in an airstrike in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza.
His last words were, "I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free."
I live in Sweden.
And I work more than half of my time in the United States.
I know both systems — not from headlines, but from daily life.
Sweden has a capitalist market economy.
Private ownership. Competition.
Global companies.
We also have social reforms: healthcare, paid parental leave, paid vacation, and social security.
This is not socialism.
This is not communism.
It’s capitalism with guardrails.
The market creates wealth.
Society prevents bad luck from becoming a life sentence.
Our freedoms are intact.
Our economy is competitive.
And no — this isn’t theory.
I live it.
@joakial_@LubaSays Definitely. And for those in the US wringing their hands and saying this “only works in a ‘high trust society’”, maybe consider asking why the US is not such a society. Shouldn’t that be part of aspiring to “liberty and justice for all”?
