An Israeli developer is building vacation homes and luxury amenities on land in Kenya, which he hopes will draw both Kenyans and Israelis. But many Kenyans are outraged. @Dena explains why.
French journalist Marine Vlahovic was found dead in her home in Marseille while working on a documentary covering Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Anderson Cooper’s high school math teacher, Yves Volel, returned to his home country of Haiti and ran for president in 1987 but was later assassinated.
Despite the Haitian government's efforts to destroy all the recordings, CBS News was able to broadcast audio of the shooting. “It was an extraordinary thing when I was a teenager to witness… it continued my desire to learn more about Haiti,” Cooper told 60 Minutes Overtime.

Since 2002, the International Criminal Court has prosecuted 33 cases. 32 out of those 33 have been African. Apparently no crime worthy of ICC prosecution has been committed anywhere on earth except in Africa for the past 24 years.
Now they are making noises about prosecuting the Tanzanian government for last year’s election-related violence (but not the actual instigators and culprits). This was the sort of ludicrously one-eyed decision that made Burundi, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger leave that institution, and like the rest of the continent, Tanzania will have to make a choice soon.
We will either remain voluntarily trapped within institutions built to cage and target us, or walk away and build our own fit-for-purpose institutions.
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.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
A pattern that I've noticed studying CIA operations is that Western countries are consistently passing colonial projects between each other.
For example, a CIA asset may go in to do reconnaissance on something like locally owned mines in Brazil. Then someone tied to another Western intelligence service from Israel or France might pay an assassin to kill the head of the Union at that mine and other local assets to instigate violence. Then after the violent riots break out, everything gets shut down and the profits are lost a Canadian company may come in and offer bottom dollar to reopen the defunct mine. Every actor participating will receive some portion of the profits... But they intentionally avoid having everything carried out by one country So the chain of events leading to the takeover can be plausibly deniable.
I imagine that's what this is. We also know the UK is involved.
ICE did it again - released a detainee far from her home without notifying her family.
Three days after having an ankle monitor put on by ICE, 31 year old Daphy Michel was found unresponsive at a bus station. She died later that day.
Daphy was seeking asylum in the US. Her brother lives in the US and has TPS status.
She had a hearing scheduled for April on her immigration case.
Her brother was waiting to hear when she would be released so he could bring her home.
ICE hasn’t answered questions from Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 about when Daphy arrived at the ERO Pittsburgh office, when she received the ankle monitor, how long she was in custody, and where & when she was released.
Want to know why Congress is doing nothing on AI?
AI oligarchs have already spent over $185 million buying politicians this year.
There it is. It’s no more complicated than that.
Let me get this straight…
OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”
Then he raised billions of dollars.
Then he closed the source code.
Then he converted to for-profit.
Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.
Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.
Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter.
He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it…
Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…
Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. https://t.co/kyZUqIcM5b
A black woman from Kenya disappeared in the UK and was found dead in a body of water.
Barely anyone reported on it.
No one is saying her name.
She’s being forgotten.
Melissa is doing incredible work to raise awareness about cases no one else will report on.
“More than half of the victims could only be identified through DNA testing due to the scale of the tragedy.”
Iran’s UN envoy Iravani calls the deadly school strike a “war crime” as polls show 56% of Americans oppose the military escalation.
Al Jazeera's John Holman reports.
Emmanuel Damas was a 56-year-old asylum seeker from Haiti.
He died in U.S. ICE custody after staff allegedly denied him treatment for a tooth infection.
He is at least the 10th person to die in ICE custody this year.
Hegseth asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans:
"We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."
A grotesquely indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.
