"Eventually, almost everyone claims they opposed apartheid...But justice is not measured by where we stand after history has issued its verdict. It is measured by where we stand when the verdict is still being rendered." -@NYCMayor on Nelson Mandela and Palestinian human rights
I see Ugandan Big Man Museveni has hired a second US lobby firm to help his image in Washington. A better approach would be increasing freedoms and human rights, real elections, and keeping his loony son, Gen Muhoozy under control. That would help more!

LOP @JoelSsenyonyi: Some of you people in gov't make our country look bad. The World reads reports about Media houses closed in Uganda, NTV has been closed now for 3 weeks, NGOs closed and suspended. Every day we are here on the floor demanding answers about abducted persons like Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi and others. These things make us look bad. That is the reality, we must sort them out .

El pisotón de Messi a Spence en el gol de Lautaro Martínez fue literalmente antes de la asistencia y el VAR le dio igual.
Ah pero Egipto, el balón al otro lado del campo, un toque y buscan todo por anular el gol y robar.

Everyone to the Airport, we have won something!
When real victories are rare, small ones must become enormous. This is the politics of small victories: the less there is to celebrate, the louder the applause 1/2

The Washington Post's Editorial Board is asking the American government to immediately review its relations with the Museveni dictatorship for rigging elections and oppressing Ugandans. WE CAN'T AGREE MORE! https://t.co/i87JsVlEHq
Magistrate Ms. Gloria Atim who granted Hon. Miria Matembe bail has been transferred to Kiboga District. Ivan Ssenoga who granted Timothy Kalyegira bail has also been sent to Luweero. In 2025, William Muwonge had just been posted to Kawempe (January) when he gave 21 NUP ... 1/2
They kidnapped him from Kenya, locked out Martha Karua, and threw Erias Lukwago into a cell.
Yet today, Dr. Kizza Besigye walked into their compromised courtroom completely alone, stripped of his lawyers, and still made the regime tremble.
When he looked the judge in the eye and said, "We know this trial won't be fair... We no longer wish to be part of it," he didn't just reject a trial. He completely deflated the Museveni family's legal theater.
You cannot break a man who doesn't fear your prisons. Absolute courage!
I hope you see how there is a hierarchy of competence in this world? Norway celebrates getting to the quarter finals. If France goes out in the semis, they’d consider this campaign a failure.
Know where you are in life at the moment and play accordingly. Don’t compare yourself to anyone.
Ugandans have been seeing Joshua Baraka more as an international musician than being a Ugandan but his tweet yesterday which said
"Uganda might actually be the best country in the world naye abattufuga."
Might have added him more Ugandan fans than he has been having.

A departure from this World Cup that may be overlooked: Granit Xhaka, one of the last remaining members of a Switzerland golden generation that once featured Xherdan Shaqiri, Yann Sommer, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabian Schär and more.
In his fourth World Cup, Xhaka reached the furthest stage of his career. He’ll be 38 by 2030, so there’s a chance we may have seen him on this stage for the final time.
