Mamdani is running NYC like a small town mayor in a romance novel and it’s so beautiful to see

Socialism is so sick I love when tax dollars go to schools instead of wars

I want to thank Zimbabwean dancehall star Winky D for the very insightful message in his new song, Chivanhu.

He touches on a serious topic that I have advanced on this page for years, respecting our past, respecting our ancestors, and refusing to be held hostage by foreign religions brought to us through colonial rule and missionary indoctrination.

A people who do not understand their past, who embrace other people’s ancestors while disowning their own, and who disparage their history are bound to struggle. Africa continues to face challenges because many of the things we consider important are not rooted in our own history, culture, and experiences.

You cannot be more Muslim than Muhammad, and you cannot be more Christian than the people among whom Christianity first emerged. Part of the success of the Chinese, whom Winky D references in his song, has been their authenticity, confidence in their own civilisation, and belief in themselves.

I am not a Christian because I hate Christianity. I am not a Christian because I do not believe my identity can be rooted in a foreign religion whose foundations were built by other people’s ancestors while requiring me to disconnect from my own.

Every people who have risen and prospered have done so by understanding who they are, where they come from, and what values define them. Self-respect begins with knowing your own story before seeking validation in someone else’s.

Winky D has truly matured into an artist who does not follow the wind, but has become the wind itself, the one that others follow.

Consummate artists do not chase narratives, they shape them. They do not merely reflect society, they challenge it, provoke thought, and help direct the national conversation towards issues that matter.
That is what separates entertainers from cultural icons. The greatest artists leave a lasting imprint on the conscience of a nation.

Well done to Winky D and his team for producing work that stimulates thought and encourages introspection. More life to Gaffa Nation.

@bbmhlanga @namataik_ The Bulawayo comment doesn’t quite land if the broader context is taken into account. A more fitting comparison would have been referring to someone from Bulawayo becoming Mayor of Harare

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide.

I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud.

Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.

When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

📌Cabinet today:

The Government has approved a deal with a consortium led by JR Goddard to develop 271 hectares of commercial land near Victoria Falls.

The land, Lot 1 of Jafuta Estate, is in the Masuwe Special Economic Zone within the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. The consortium will build roads, a 13km water pipeline, a water treatment plant, sewerage and a power substation.

State investment arm Mosi Oa Tunya Development Company is contributing the 271.5ha as equity, valued at US$25.6 million, giving government a 39% stake in the project. The JRG consortium takes 61% in return for US$66.9 million in infrastructure investment. The partners will recoup profits over 25 years. The Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency ran the tender last year.

The JR Goddard consortium also includes project managers Sesani, engineers Stewart Scott Zimbabwe, and financial advisors Genesis Global Finance. It is the same consortium that is, separately, raising money to build the Glass Block Dam project for Bulawayo.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

We are building the biggest and broadest coalition in American Political History. This includes record-breaking numbers of Arab and Muslim Voters in Michigan who want PEACE. They know Kamala and her warmonger Cabinet will invade the Middle East, get millions of Muslims killed, and start World War III. VOTE TRUMP, AND BRING BACK PEACE!

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Los alto al fuego siempre son una buena noticia. Sobre todo si conducen a una paz justa y duradera. Pero el alivio momentáneo no puede hacernos olvidar el caos, la destrucción y las vidas perdidas.

El Gobierno de España no aplaudirá a quienes incendian el mundo porque se presenten con un cubo.

Lo que toca ahora: diplomacia, legalidad internacional y PAZ.

Cuando te sientas estupido, recuerda que María Corina Machado le regaló su Premio Nobel de la Paz al tipo que hoy amenaza con destruir con bombas nucleares una civilización entera…

On this day in 1986, Zimbabwe lost Lt-Gen Lookout “Mafela” Masuku a former ZIPRA commander, strategist and liberation icon. His legacy lives on in the story of a nation he helped free.

This is what terrorism looks like, state terrorism, we do it to others and then we act shocked when others do it back to us.

Stone Age?
At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder.

We endured the storm of Alexander and the Mongol invasions and remained; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.
