JUST IN - Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
And here we see the American psyche on full display.
So self-indulgent in its own notions of righteous heroism, it conveniently ignores the broader context of its own imperialist violence
“We would sacrifice endlessly to save even one American life (that was only put in danger because we were killing people)” is not the glorious mic drop you think it is
I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.
holding myself back from being ragebaited rn but it seems actively harmful to promote this idea
it sounds romantic in theory but frames communication as a failure of love instead of its foundation
@camelia_lhm True. So many relatives and friends to meet and celebrate. I actually thought it was weird when I found out other countries typically don’t 🤷♂️
Later, she took the ribbon and playfully tied up her head with it. She turned to me and said “Look, I’m your present”
I smiled, leaned in and said, “and my future.”
WHEN I TELL YOU SHE GOT ALL GIGGLY & GIDDY 😂😂😂

I went to visit her family at the hospital as her nieces and nephew were unwell. I brought them a fruit gift box tied up with a ribbon
My beloved mother was once hospitalised for a serious medical condition, requiring surgery.
As she was being wheeled into the Operation Theatre, I hugged her so tightly.
She said “Ummi doakan Luqman. I am sick. So I can make dua’ for you.”
Jannah is truly beneath her feet.
I live in a developing nation called Malaysia. Some of you might not know where exactly it is. We’re a small country of 34 million, formed in 1963, not even 100 years old.
Maybe you’ve heard of the Petronas Twin Towers. If not, chances are you’ve probably never heard much about us at all.
We’re kind of the underdog of countries. Multilingual. Multi-cultural. Still figuring things out.
But today feels like a win for Malaysians.
While fuel prices are high around the world, here our price is RM1.99 per litre (about US$0.42). It even dropped by RM0.06 beginning today for eligible Malaysians.
For some, that may not sound like much but for millions of Malaysians, every cent matters. And it’s possible because the government subsidises fuel and because we produce oil ourselves.
This is managed under a program called BUDI95 as you can see from the screenshot. It’s a targeted subsidy scheme where eligible Malaysians receive a 300-litre quota of petrol per month at the subsidised price.
To access it, we use our national ID card (with a built-in electronic chip), which verifies our identity at the pump. The system is also integrated with cashless apps, making the whole process seamless.
(Our ID card can also be used to pay for parking, highway tolls, metro, trains etc).
So today, I can pull up to a station, use my ID card and refuel with a benefit that helps millions of Malaysians keep daily costs manageable.
I share this because:
(a) My audience comes from all around the world and no international media outlet will ever report this. 😂
(b) My point isn’t to brag, but to show how even small, developing nations can innovate and progress.
To my fellow Malaysians: congratulations on this historic day.
Sometimes, being the underdog means we quietly make things work. And that’s something worth celebrating.
And by the way, next year is Visit Malaysia Year 2026. If you’re curious to know more about us, just head over to YouTube.
You’ll find countless travellers who’ve discovered how special this country really is.
The flooding happening in Sabah have been described as the worst one since 2010. 14 people have died & many communities are displaced. Homes are destroyed by landslides & floodwater.
If you can donate to show your support to our fellow Sabahans this Malaysia Day, do it.
“Having a different opinion” is choosing a different economic policy than you. Or a different immigration strategy. Or a different approach to tackle homelessness & healthcare.
Choosing to support *genocide* is not having a different opinion. It is being evil.
I have no words. I don't understand how to live in a world where someone would take a father away from his young children for having a different opinion.
someone just retweeted this old thread. i remember being up at like 3 in the morning writing it fervently, like something was washing over me. i miss that feeling tbh
hope it may still bring benefit to anyone reading 🤍
Surah Al-Zalzalah is one of those short surahs that just leaves you breathless for awhile.
It starts out describing how during Qiyamah, the entire tangible Dunya will be utterly, violently destroyed, crumbling into pieces. Then it goes on saying on that Day, you will see
