Democratic socialist. Deceptively quick for a big guy. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The guy is such a schizophrenic, when I greet him, I feel like saying "Molweni".

Much of today's "influencer" content would have been critiqued as self-indulgent and contrived if produced 20 years ago. This is deeply ironic given that young people online have an insatiable appetite for projections of authenticity from celebrity.

JUSTICE! Thank you Spain for saving football from Infantino, FIFA and Trump.

I want to amplify the good that people such as Mayor @geordinhl and other @our_da leaders do even when we disagree on fundamentals because that is how we must conduct our politics.

However, I cannot accept this. And, no-one should.

Genocide—of which former Premier @helenzille26 knows "a little" according to her—is exactly where we draw a line in the sand. Sophistry to disguise ethnic cleansing is a strategy to defend war criminals and genocidaires because they are Zionists. @RediTlhabi @pierredevos @yamkela_fanisi @QaanitahHunter

Julius will be out in 3 to 6 months. House arrest, medical circumstances or whatever sticks. EFF peeps, please stay chill and don't start a riot.

When Dr Imtiaz Sooliman was called to the podium to be honoured with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (honoris causa), a rousing applause filled UCT's Sarah Baartman Hall.

Dr Sooliman, one of South Africa’s most distinguished humanitarian leaders and the founder of Gift of the Givers, acknowledged the applause with a wave and stood with a composed pose as his citation was read out on 30 March 2026. #UCTGrad2026

I just came here to say quick that football has really fallen off. From a peace prize to the warmongering genocidal supporting Trump, to Senegal being stripped of its AFCON title (and more issues). I feel like I've had enough of football for a while now.

The way Hegseth, Trump, Leavitt et al. have been working Western media over with "imminent threat", "preemptive that" mumbo jumbo has me thinking about Chomsky's academic activism on "manufactured consent". But that's fucken soiled too, because Noam rolled in the Epstein crew 😞

The massacre of at least 165 Iranian schoolgirls and their teachers, largely ignored or sanitized by the genocidal western media exposes the real objectives of this aggression by two rogue nuclear pow,ers. https://t.co/I9elWDV4GO

We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global allies.
Act now: defend int'l law from lawlessness, before the rupture becomes irreversible.

Two old criminal men leading Israel and America using war to keep them in Power. Both would be in court in their own countries for their crimes, war puts that off - they are using their armed services as their own human shields to save themselves, and willing to murder 1000s of civilian as a price worth paying for their own survival -

People ask me: “How can they indict you for saying you took an ecstasy pill 36yrs ago in Australia? Are they mad?” No, folks, they are not mad. This has nothing to do with drugs, with the law, with anything related to my actual interview. It is a reflection of what has been happening to politics across the West, with Greek characteristics.

Unlike in most other European countries, where new ultra-rightist parties emerged to undermine the traditional centre-right party (e.g., the AfD in Germany, Reform in the UK, Meloni’s Brothers in Italy or Le Pen in France), in Greece the mainstream Tory-equivalent party (New Democracy) remains dominant in the polls and in public discourse.

The reason behind their success is that they kept the neofascists in their midst. Indeed, Mitsotakis, the PM, gave them top ministerial posts (e.g., Health, Migration) to keep them sweet. Keen to ensure that things stay this way, and that the neofascists do not form their own party, the PM has cut a deal with them:

The PM and his neoliberal mainstream faction monopolise financial deals with the local and global corporate oligarchy, economic policy more generally. In exchange, the PM has handed over to the neofascists the ministries engaged in rightist culture wars (migration, family law, health, the phoney war on drugs etc.). The latter then use their authority to appeal to their electoral base by ensuring that the Greek Coast Guard causes migrants to drown in the Aegean, that the police shield the fascists, and that people like myself are harassed and dragged through the courts.

In short, my ridiculous prosecution must be seen within the wider, West-wide, surge of an insidious new form of fascism. In this context, I am honoured by their determination to persecute me – as it grants me the privilege of calling upon people of good conscience, from around the world, to stand together, to oppose them. https://t.co/I1FOpsg8Rg

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I won’t lie, this one really upset me.

[Giovanni Poggi @Giopoliticus]

Not sure what the point of posting here is anymore. I've been shadow banned into oblivion by the manipulated algorithm and most of my friends don't use this app anymore. Just straight up ass what happened to Twitter.

[Giovanni Poggi @Giopoliticus]

If they desire it, they will eat you alive. The maintenance of your sovereignty, freedom, democracy (or any other regime) is conditional. There is no such order of "liberal cooperativeness". Trump's 2nd term has only exposed what the U.S. has more often done discreetly.

[Giovanni Poggi @Giopoliticus]

Pax Americana has always had a strong undercurrent of intimidation to it. What is undeniable in 2026, especially since the abduction of Venezuela's president, is that the United States is inevitable. You may not resist or refuse their "diplomatic" advances. 1/
