@Codex_India6 Why are these posts so racist? Go fuck off back to your country if you can’t handle some street food

The wildlife ecosystem must remain sustainable and free of interference. We are on the verge of losing the great Maasai Mara because of the construction of hotels & camps in critical corridors that are not supposed to be commercialized & Mara River Banks. We demand demolition.

Let us all join hands i'm Protecting the famous wildlife immigration pathways in Maasai Mara which is being interfered with a hotel built on the way by @RitzCarlton @Marriott. Maasai Mara is an icon of Kenya we must Stop neocolonism by the international hotels.

BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her.

We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s legacy…

“I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. “His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.”

“For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” she continued.

“They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton wrote. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.”

“And I am not unique,” she added.

“Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote.

“Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!” she continued.

“That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she wrote.

“And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,” Patton continued. “But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!”

“And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.”

“But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,” she continued. “Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.”

“It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,” she concluded.

This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire.

Please retweet and ❤️ if Patton’s message struck a chord with you!

In this new piece we show that as the imperial core imposed structural adjustment programs on Africa, Africans were forced to consume less while their surplus resources were transferred instead out to the capitalist world economy effectively *for free*.

Dear International Community

Please, pay attention to the horrors unfolding in our country, Kenya. Tears stream down our faces as more bodies are being found dumped in quarries. These are bodies of young people advocating for change, they are abducted, tortured, and Murdered.

Even stray dogs receive more dignified farewells than our people under William Ruto's regime. Recently, more bodies have been discovered near Kware Police Station. We urgently need international awareness and intervention to stop these atrocities.

Wangari Maathai must be smiling in the stars. Uhuru Park is being used as a venue to exercise civic duty. For music & dance. Uhuru Park being used by Kenyans to process the grief cause by the violence of bad governance

Wangari Maathai must be proud of Kenyan youth 💚
