Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.
Two years ago, a group of pro-Palestinian protestors blocked Golden Gate bridge for four hours to bring attention to the genocide going on in Gaza. Protesters have blocked Golden Gate bridge for decades -- famously, AIDS activists did so in 1989 to bring attention to the mass die off that was happening then.
What's different this time is the draconian charges that have been brought down on the protesters. Seven of those activists are currently standing trial and facing up to 15 years in prison. They are being charged with "false imprisonment," which is a first for this kind of action.
At a time that Trump is cracking down on free speech and political protest, it makes no sense for San Francisco, the home of protests like this, to be cracking down at home. The DA should drop these charges.
Las imágenes del ministro israelí Ben Gvir humillando a los miembros de la flotilla internacional en apoyo a Gaza son inaceptables.
No vamos a tolerar que nadie maltrate a nuestros ciudadanos. En septiembre anuncié la prohibición de acceso al territorio nacional de este miembro del gobierno israelí. Ahora vamos a impulsar en Bruselas que estas sanciones se eleven a escala europea de manera urgente.
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
Most Nigerians think they are drinking milk. They are drinking Fat-Filled Milk Powder (FFMP).
In the EU, FFMP can’t be sold as milk, it must be labelled as a milk ingredient, not a dairy product.
Here, it’s “milk”. Nigerians are eating what others aren’t allowed to call food.
Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
In January, Trump signed Executive Order 14380, placing harsh tariffs on any country caught "directly or indirectly" supplying oil to Cuba.
In February, when a Greek flagged tanker tried to bring 80,000 barrels from Colombia to Cuba, the US Coast Guard intercepted it, forcing the ship to sail to the Dominican Republic.
In March, when the US sought to stabilize oil prices after starting a war with Iran, OFAC issued waivers for Russian crude. As Russian tankers approached the island, the US placed Cuba on a tiny list of countries it said were *still* not allowed to buy Russian oil. Two ships which were en route changed course under pressure.
If we had actual journalists, instead of the brainless morons seen smiling and nodding below, they would have pointed this out to Rubio.
Let’s see how much you know Nigeria
Which of these is more likely to happen:
A) The government provides electricity for the hospital
B) The nurses in the video get punished
Also, the myth that white people benevolently "ended" slavery should die in 2026.
There were literally HUNDREDS of slave rebellions and anti-European wars and uprisings across Africa and the New World, to the point where it became physically dangerous to be a slave owner, and white people in slave societies lived in a constant state of terror.
Enslaved Africans made the entire business of slavery so dangerous and expensive that the owners of capital began exploring more efficient alternatives provided by new technology, a lot of which was built off the uncredited inventions and genius of enslaved people.
This messy, uneven process is what is now called the Industrial Revolution.
The idea that there was ever a time when Africans were so passive and pathetic that despite being farmed and traded like animals against their will, some benevolent oyibo "ended" slavery on their behalf, is one of the biggest and most egregious lies ever told.
Jean-Jacques Dessalines didn't die making Haiti the world's first postcolonial black republic so that someone could credit his lifetime of military struggle to white people's alleged "benevolence". Let this horrible myth die already.
