#Africa
This is disheartening. Authorities in South Carolina are continuing their investigation into the death of 4-year-old Javeayah Harris after identifying remains recovered from a reservoir in Aiken County.
⚡️▶️ #UPDATE: On July 8, 2026 the @TLHumanRights held a virtual webinar briefing entitled "Ethiopia: The Enduring Human Rights and Humanitarian Crises."
📌 Watch the following clip with remarks from panelist @YirgaGelaw.
US SOLDIER TO IRAQI CHILD:
"IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THIS I'D PROBABLY KI** YOU"
This video from the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq says it all.
A soldier tells an Iraqi child serving him tea, “I’d k*ll you if you didn’t have this.” The soldier then proceeds to humiliate what appears to be the child’s father, cursing at him profusely and telling him, “Don’t interrupt me.”
For the occupying American soldier, this may have been a joke. But for the more than a million Iraqis k*lled, and more than 9 million displaced and whose lives were devastated by George W. Bush’s war, it was not.
With its wars against Iraq in 1991 and 2003, the U.S. military ultimately transformed what had been a relatively stable nation in West Asia into a landscape marked by sectarian conflict and takfiri extremism and created the conditions that ultimately gave rise to the extremist militant group ISIS.
This is what occupation and colonial violence leaves behind, even when the headlines describe it as "liberation."
🔥 This woman just asked Trump supporters one question that completely shut them down:
“What is Trump conserving for you guys?”
Then she went in:
1. Swears on the Bible as a political stunt but never goes to church
2. On his 3rd wife + cheated on his pregnant wife (hush money felonies)
3. Increased the national debt by $2 trillion while making $1.5 billion for himself.
She ended with: “I don’t even know what Trump is conservative about anymore. Any ideas?”
The silence was loud. 📢
This one’s going viral for a reason:
🚨 The 1974 Kissinger Report just exposed how Washington really saw Africa.
A secret U.S. strategy document named Nigeria, Egypt, and Ethiopia as threats not because of armies or nukes… but because their populations were growing too fast.
The fear? Too many Africans = not enough cheap raw materials for America.
Professor Kent Hodge breaks it down in this clip.
The report shaped decades of Western policy : IMF Structural Adjustment Programs that locked Africa into the “resource curse” exporting raw minerals cheap and importing expensive finished goods.
Population control efforts ramped up across the continent.
This wasn’t “aid.” This was resource geopolitics at its rawest.
Africa’s resources. Africa’s future. Africa’s people.
They were never asking for permission.
Watch the full breakdown.
Iran delivers 160 tons of humanitarian aid to Venezuela following the country’s devastating earthquakes that left 3,889 people dead.
This is what a better world looks like, where countries help each other instead of exploiting, sanctioning, bombing, and looting like the US does.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees are taking their own lives at a pace that’s unprecedented in the agency’s two-decade history, highlighting what experts call failures in care and oversight.

Today in 'things you didn't know because nobody teaches them in school', some of Kwame Nkrumah's most important financiers and loyal supporters who brought him all the way from jail to power were wealthy Ghanaian women.
@joyfwen for @Spearhead_Af
Absolute disaster. Senator Mark Kelly confirms the Trump administration depleted US munitions on a pointless war in Iran, leaving the country vulnerable.
He exposes Pete Hegseth treats the war like a game, bragging about hitting targets to set a "record" with zero strategy.
The French Ministry of Culture has appointed me a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters. I am only the second Deafblind person, after Helen Keller, to receive this distinction. If only Helen were here to guide me. She could read and write French; I’m still working on that. 1/3
