Breaking News from @TheAthletic: In one of the most shocking results in World Cup history, Cape Verde held European champions Spain to a goalless draw, thanks in no small part to a heroic performance by their 40-year-old goalkeeper, Vozinha. https://t.co/6KBPcyFRHN

This Friday! Join us live on our YouTube channel with @yanisvaroufakis and @hasanthehun, at 21:00 CEST !

Banned for Insufficient Support of the... Genocide (!).

Hasan Piker was recently banned from entering the UK. Two years ago I was banned from entering Germany (even via... Zoom). Our crime? Yes, you guessed it: We refused to support the genocide - a heinous crime in today's deranged Europe.

This evening, at 2100CET (2000BST) Hasan and I will discuss our experiences on DiEM-tv LIVE, ably moderated by Mehran Khalili. Join us to ask questions and send us your missives. These are interesting times people!

🚨 LIVE THIS FRIDAY: Banned for Insufficient Support of Genocide?

First Germany banned @yanisvaroufakis. Now the UK has barred @hasanthehun from entering the country.

This Friday they compare notes on Gaza, censorship & why "free speech" seems to come with exceptions.

It is no coincidence that so many of us feel exhausted, hopeless, disoriented. #War, #austerity, #bigtech and the rise of #fascism are shaping our lives - and leaving many of us burnt out and defeated. But understanding our reality is the first step to fighting it.

The EU is complicit in Israeli crimes, and we must rise up against this brutality!

"I say to young people: courage is not bravery; it is habit. Start small. Tell it how you see it over dinner. Disagree with your own side. When you fail—and you will—forgive yourself and try again. The new authoritarianism crumbles when ordinary people risk ridicule more than prison. Ridicule is cheap; democracy is not." — @yanisvaroufakis

Fox News has targeted DiEM25, @ProgIntl, @davidrkadler, @hasanthehun and those standing in solidarity with Cuba. But the real story isn't the smear campaign, it is the growing crackdown on those who resist the fledgling Trump regime.

Today, on the anniversary of Shireen Abu Akleh, we remember her courage, her voice, and the hundreds of Palestinian journalists targeted for documenting erasure and genocide.

Journalism is not a crime. #FREEPALESTİNE

New French Colonialism coming through ✨💅

[DiEM25 @DiEM_25]

Today, we remember the victims of the Nakba — the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the creation of Israel in 1948, under British colonial rule and with the backing of Western powers after WWII.

We will not rest until Palestine is free.

[DiEM25 @DiEM_25]

On the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, we remember that dispossession and exile are not mere footnotes of the past but living, ongoing realities. To speak of justice today is to name the catastrophe of 1948 and to recognise that no future can be built on forgetting. Freedom and equal rights for all, from the river to the sea, is the only vision worthy of the name.

As we mark another Nakba anniversary, the genocide that started then is intensifying. What we witness in Gaza and across the occupied territories is not a war, not clash of equals, nor a tragic but inevitable conflict — it is the violent, relentless logic of white settler terra nullius colonialism, dressed in modern military hardware and sustained by western complicity. A people is being erased, deemed superfluous, their humanity denied so that their erasure may be justified.

To commemorate the Nakba is to stand with the living against the coloniser’s lie that some lives are mere obstacles. It is to insist that remembrance must become resistance, and resistance is not only a prerequisite for liberty but also of existence.

🆘 Israel is once again attacking 50+ boats part of the @gbsumudflotilla bringing crucial aid supplies to #Gaza. The #EU must withdraw its support for illegal Israeli piracy in international waters. Solidarity with the #Flotilla! #freePalestine
