Absolutely love South Africa. The most amazing country in the world. Love animals, like people. Definitely vegan.

A coincidence? Xenophobic violence has consistently flared in years that South Africans are headed to the ballot box: in 1994 our 1st democratic elections, 2008 - Presidential elections, 2021 & 2026 prior to municipal elections … #30June #June30Deadline #WontBeMarching

I once DM’d someone who was constantly criticizing me online and asked why they hated me.

His response changed how I think about the internet.

Full conversation with Eugene and Brené Brown is up now.

Meanwhile in South Africa ❤️❤️

@RyanCoetzee Starlink comes with massive risks to sovereignty and data security, putting critical infrastructure in the hands of an erratic, wildly ideological individual who has demonstrated his willingness to wield his control of the system for political ends. SA can make other choices

🚨 CNN "experts" say Iran’s disdain for the US is because “they hate our way of life.” Ex-MSNBC host
@JoyAnnReid
wasn’t having it. She schooled the panel on the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Tehran: The one that overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized Iran’s oil. Installed the Shah’s brutal dictatorship. Sparked decades of resentment. Delivered the 1979 Revolution. That “disdain”? It’s called blowback. Not “they hate our freedom.” They remember what we did to their freedom. Media: stop the gaslighting. Start with history. 📷 💥

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

It was India and South Africa who opened the door to your G20 membership. When South Africa took over from Brazil, it insisted that its G20 presidency would be African-led, with the AU playing a conspicuous and eminent role. It is revolting to watch you acquiesce to the US and be mere spectators in its irrational, mean-spirited assault on South Africa.

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

No...I will say what I want when I want. I don't take orders from genocidal maniacs, and I'm most definitely not afraid of you. "Filthy " is your violent supremacist ideology. "Filth" are your rapist, murderous soldiers, and ANYONE and EVERYONE who cheers them on. Your "order" is emblematic of the entire foundation of Zionism. The Rabbi can malign the Pope. Your soldiers can desecrate other religions and their sacred symbols, they can bomb places of worship but we must respect your religion and its representatives? You are delusional. It is not going to happen.

Nobody is asking her to fix the Middle East. Just to condemn the killing of children, the raping of prisoners, the burning alive of people in tents, targetting of journalists, medics and emergency service workers.

Which, take note: she cant bring herself to do.

This is maybe the first time I've seen a tourist video of Cape Town that didn't piss me off. She didn't even have to go to the townships but kudos to her for going, I'd have been satisfied with her doing the District 6 museum so she understands the history of the place she's at.

The great thing about bringing my American friends news from across the pond, is that there is no Trump sane washing involved in the process.

My thanks to James O’ Brien for the clip from his LBC morning show.

Almost startling how relevant this still is.

[Pieter Kriel @pieterkrielorg]

Criticising the DA is not my political preference. It is my warning. When a party controls the narrative of what “good governance” means or, what “transformation” means, and does so from a position of inherited advantage, that’s racism! #whiteprivilege

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

In South Africa 🇿🇦, SA Deputy Justice Minister Andries Nel calls for defending South Africa’s sovereignty against domestic and external forces opposing legal sector transformation.

He rejects “white genocide” claims as false narratives pushed to distort SA’s democratic progress.

Amid growing US pressure, this reflects ongoing patterns of global influence and modern imperialism.

South Africa’s future must be shaped by its people, not external agendas.

Big ups to all white people who stand for transformation and refuse to be fooled by Helen Zille and her racist DA. 💪🏽

This is @Nigel_Branken whose other video was trending yesterday where he was telling @helenzille to her face that she and the DA are racist.

[Former Kleva Black🇿🇦 🇿🇦#FreeCongo#FreeSudan @SneKhumaloSA]

The way the DA is campaigning makes me feel so uncomfortable.

In 'white areas' (despise the term), there's a certain gravitas in the way they conduct their electioneering. There is town hall type of meetings, speeches and explaining their policies etc..

In 'Black areas', they go to shisanyamas et al, dance and toto toyi looking absolutely ridiculous.

They play into these racist and anti Black stereotypes and they don't even see how utterly out of touch they look
