Two weeks ago, ICE kidnapped my friend Karim while he was picking up documents to renew his work visa. Karim came to the US from Egypt legally 20 years ago. He has no criminal record and is BELOVED by our community. ICE disappeared him anyways. We need your help to #FreeKarim

Imagine keeping someone’s body hostage for 60 years just to torture their family.

Israel has violated the ceasefire in Gaza 266 times since it came into effect on January 19, killing at least 132 people, Palestinian security sources have told Al Jazeera.

Yt SAs making videos telling trump to voetsek are cute and all but are you actually dealing with your family and friends who have those views? Cause apartheid, including offshoots like Afriforum and Orania, didn't start when trump spoke. Do more and do better

Didn’t bother reading. You have a flight to catch buddy, you’re a refugee now

[Nchema @ShottaZee]

Why are we not hearing views from black farmers, farmworkers and unions, SAPS in Free State, Limpopo and North West, Stats-SA and other stakeholders who can speak backed by facts. I think we've heard enough from AfriForum and Orania now.

[Tahzeeb @Zeebi09]

You also shouldn't hire anyone for your household if you can't comprehend the dynamics of intimate labour. Imagine working in an environment where you must deal with family issues that aren't yours (and countless other factors) while being the only one expected to be professional

The amount of people who think having a domestic worker is a basic right and that domestic workers don’t live in the same economy they do where they must earn enough to pay for housing, transport, feed their families is one of the more embarrassing things about SA discourse

This country has done nothing but piss me off the last couple days. The last thing I want to do right now is listen to cupcake speak

Once again, @TomEatonSA gets it so right 😂
