Why would a Sikh man be the face of Islam?

[S.🎧 @1ssve]

I spent 8 years at a company. Gave it the best years of my working life. Believed in the mission. Defended it to friends who asked why I stayed. Turned down offers. Skipped holidays. Answered emails on weekends. When they finally let me go the meeting was 11 minutes long. My manager read from a script. HR was on the call. My access was revoked before I had closed my laptop. 8 years. 11 minutes. I sat in my car for a long time after that. Not because I was devastated. But because I finally understood what the company had always known and I had refused to see. It was never mutual. It was never a family. It was always just business. I just wish someone had told me sooner so I could have treated it the same way.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

ldn suburbs are so cooked. these old niggas got houses worth over £1m that they can’t sell and don’t have enough money to renovate so they’re just there rotting. 3-6 bedroom houses riddled w mould and damp 80s carpeting

You want me to believe in karma when the slave owners entire bloodline has been rich since 1450😂

Streeting felt such ‘moral urgency’ that he kept quiet and stayed in the government, only resigning when he saw a career opportunity. Beneath contempt.

I don’t know how to explain it to people who don’t understand that something of all of us is buried in Gaza’s mass graves.

Every time someone complains about the lack of green spaces in Egypt some genius responds with a picture of their compound and with it, demonstrating the failure of private school education in Egypt.

شتان بين الكليچة و الكلاوچية

[Iraq Football Podcast @IraqFootballPod]

🗣️ Former Iraq manager Jesús Casas speaking to AS:

“We were going to qualify Iraq for the 2026 World Cup ourselves. That’s something that still sticks in my throat. There is no patience there.

Even after Iraq qualified for the World Cup, the federation president who dismissed us was himself removed. Football in Iraq is like a second religion — a refuge from everyday hardships. In Basra, 70,000 fans fill the stadium hours before kick-off. The entire country comes to a standstill and people are given time off when the national team plays.

The Iraqi player still has that raw street-football talent. When we won the Gulf Cup, the whole country went crazy. I don’t even want to imagine what will happen at the World Cup, starting with tomorrow’s friendly against Spain.”

First Thornberry. Now this one.

They know a reckoning is coming, and they're scrambling to save themselves. But the archives don't forget - and they don't lie.

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

The couple in this video are Wesam Mekdad, a Palestinian from Gaza, and his heavily pregnant German wife.

Police were called after Wesam broke his TV — he had just learned that 'israel' murdered his brother. The couple were cooperative. They explained the situation. The wife wanted to ask the police if she can accompany her husband.

The police responded with brutality.

People from Nationaal Protest (an anti‑immigration group) are so outraged by how a pregnant woman was treated that they have offered to help the couple file a complaint against the police.

The wife gave birth earlier than expected. A baby girl. Healthy, thank God. Her name is Reem. 🤍

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

A video of a Dutch policeman throwing a heavily pregnant woman to the ground has caused outrage. The woman says police attacked her at a migration centre where authorities had detained her Palestinian husband.

Aside from the racist bullshit about Notting Hill, it amuses me that someone who thinks she's really clever doesn't know the correct use of "its".

The only thing that unites politicians across the aisle is their systematic racism
