It’s funny he set up an political identity of being a tough macho man from being being a kicker, arguably the least macho position in football its even funnier that he has been growing increasingly shit at his one job

fucking boston can’t do shit right

Only time i’m rooting for the Sox

“Are you Alawi?” Identity-Based Killings During Syria’s Transition www.hrw.org/report/2025/...

why the fuck does there need to be 10 nat guard people in the NOMA metro, there doesn’t need to be any but 10 is the most I have seen told to congregate and do nothing

My hometown has now made it onto the BBC world news homepage 3 times in my lifetime 1: One of the first school book bans 2: Racist incident 3: Mass shooting

every party or organization that nigel farage has touched has collapsed or struggled due to infighting or mismanagement and he essentially just used racism to help win the brexit vote there is no secret sauce yet both britain’s right and left have completely gutted themselves to emulate farage

After some major bout of political violence, media organizations like the BBC are always quick to write about how both sides are “fanning the flames”, despite that not really being true yet again, after Kirk’s murder we see dem leaders call for calm while the trump and vance call for “retribution”

In Libya, Government of National Unity (GNU) Prime Minister Dbeibeh and Rada reportedly agreed to a deal which would see Rada give up control of the civilian side of the Mitiga Aiport in exchange for the GNU loosening its control of some airports it’s the first major sign of an actual deal

it will be genuinely amazing if Elizabeth Tsurkov is freed multiple months of captivity and no one even bothered to free her thank god, i wish her family the best

bad news bears

aafsdfahqtga dodgers fucking choked it lmao

I would like to say that it’s a weirdly unique experience that the creator of famed television show “Father Ted” told me to kill myself, but in reality i’m pretty sure he has said that to every trans person on social media

Dabaiba still demanding that Rada hand over the Mitiga Airport, but Rada is still refusing Rada doesn’t seem interested in standing down The UN issues another warning against fighting in Tripoli

An update 🇱🇾 Misratan Convoys still move toward Tripoli Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army still gathering in Sirte It seems the deal between Dabaiba and Menfi have just prolonged the crisis for a day Rada might still force Dabaiba to try and enforce the deal by force

So apparently a deal was reached between Dbeibah and Presidental Council (PC) Head Mohammed Menfi The PC is technically in charge of Rada, even though in reality they have little power over them. Rada reportedly accepted the deal through Menfi, and not directly to Dbeibeh “deal” specifics unknown

Tripoli’s Ministry of Defense claiming Rada accepted Prime Minister Dbeibeh’s demands Unsure exactly if that’s true yet, and if it is, unsure what demands those are, i.e. are they giving up Mitiga airport or just releasing prisoners it’s hard to say, the situation could change

I have been at 2nd job today so have not been able to do my own research over on the other website, analysis are warning of increasing tensions in Tripoli increased visuals of Misratan units moving around the capital Tripoli to support the PM Dabaiba

first time seeing national guard at the Noma station

back to the never ending cycle of looking for work life is just brutal

There is a weird disconnect living and working in Ward 5 because my contact with federal agents has been limited, apparently some were recently patrolling trinidad, but the nat gaurd are very isolated from me as they are fucking around downtown, which i am not really going to much

DC needs leadership who will actually try to organize or rally The DC gov doesn’t have much actual power, but they have a microphone, they can play a role in being disruptive

Good to know one of the propaganda media outlets for the eastern Libyan gov is using chat gpt just read an article about the Central Bank of Libya, and the article said the Bank’s governor was “Sadiq al-Kabir (also known as Naji Issa)” Kabir has been out of power for a year, Issa is a dif person

Charlie Morton to Detroit, the tigers better win, do not let my boy down

With protests in Tripoli mostly muted for now, the political battle taking place for the city is similar to the one that took place in 2022 between Dabaiba and Bashagha Now with Dabaiba’s security architecture damaged, Haftar’s government is making inroads with angry tripoli militia groups

It’s mind blowing how long the trump admin continued to pound the “government cabal of pedophiles” line after they got into government you are now the government, how would you somehow think this would not blowback on you?

I remember a long time ago when it was a global tragedy that a breadline in Sarajevo was hit by Serbian artillery, killing dozens of civilians trying to get food the event was on headlines around the world and sparked massive outrage. This however? global silence

Grateful to @eddiemonkman.bsky.social for including my thoughts in his latest article on escalation and territorial control in #Sudan and at its border with #Libya. I focus on providing geopolitical nuance & historical contextualisation of current events & their impact on both countries' stability.

Was in downtown DC to get food, completely dead which is funnier when the pictures of the parade attendance are also low

My latest, with a view from the ground in #Tripoli: Ankara’s quiet intervention to rein in the GNU reveals a deeper shift - from assertive influence to cautious containment - as #Turkey recalibrates its role in an increasingly unstable capital.

An issue with peaceful protests are most americans believe a “peaceful protest” is just holding a sign however, peaceful protests can be super antagonistic, in your face yelling and chest beating. You just can’t throw an actual punch

Excellent work from Badi and Lacher

Delighted to share the page with the phenomenal Karim Mezran for @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social on current events in #Libya. We 🔎 on what clashes in Tripoli mean for peace prospects & the safety of 🇱🇾 citizens, & what the intl diplomatic community can do to prevent further violence. 👉 shorturl.at/wMRQe

Marco Rubio has complained that Judge Brian Murphy’s preemptive order halting deportations to Libya led to the fighting in Tripoli It is simply not true. The fighting in Tripoli was caused by elite infighting in western Libya, and the brazen ideas of Prime Minister Dabaiba

Growing up and going to Orioles games, I was too young to understand how bad they were now I am fully aware of what that must have felt like lmao

Ceasefire held up most the weekend tensions back up Dabaiba gave a weekend speech where he tried to justify his actions saying he is “against militias” His equally corrupt rivals are now trying to use popular anger to justify themselves Rumors the Tripoli militias are gearing up again

Today's perfect example of this: Libya's parliament unironically meets to decide a new government claiming they're: Supporting protestors, and holding PM Dbeiba accountable for not handling militias with due process. This will not end well

Yesterday's events were part genuine popular anger, part manipulation. Resignations (by ministers linked to armed groups opposed to Dabeiba) were timed for maximum effect, with limited success. Confrontation at PM's office likely encouraged by agents provocateurs. But for now, Dabeiba has survived.

it’s important for people to understand that the Government of National Unity under Prime Minister Dabaiba has no real way of taking in 1 million palestinians Recent efforts to appease Trump are essentially last ditch efforts by a man who has been losing control of his government for months

News has broken from US reporters that Trump was negotiating with the Dabaiba government to accept 1 million palestinians from Gaza this is only going to explode anger toward Dabaiba. These protests were already for something unrelated. Its definitely getting more difficult for the PM

Large protests have taken to the streets of Tripoli today, with many protestors outside Prime Minister Dabaiba’s office being shot by militia 12 Ministers and 5 Deputy Ministers from Dabaiba’s cabinet have now resigned in protest

After another day of ceasefire, protestors from the conflict affected neighborhoods are taking to public squares, but the scenes are much less violent than last night PM Dabaiba finally broke his silence and claiming victory. It seems that Tripoli might return to the status quo

Tripoli update today, most of the day was a tense ceasefire, with RADAA unable to fully route 444 Still no word from Dabaiba Now civilians are protesting in the Abu Saleem neighborhood, calling for Dabaiba’s downfall Militia members opened fire on them and in response protestors burned their car

honestly wild that Tripoli is seeing its heaviest fighting in almost 5 years and not a single word from news orgs like the BBC

There is now a real threat of the Government of National Unity (GNU) in Tripoli falling apart 444 is running out of time The nations largest anti-GNU forces are coalescing on Tripoli if the 444 collapses after this failed offensive, it’s going to be a bad day for Prime Minister Dabaiba

Anti-Dabaiba militia from the town of Zawiya is arriving in western Tripoli, likely to assist RADAA

444 advance, compared to last night, is getting bogged down. Fighting in central Tripoli is brutal, footage coming out is showing street to street fighting RADAA is apparently pushing back, looking to flank the 444 advance Some pro LNA channels are claiming movement from LNA controlled sirte

Libyan Journalist Mohamed Tailamun has said TB-2 Bayraktar drones are in the air

Fighting again in Tripoli tonight the 444 Brigade, one of western Libya’s most powerful militias and a major victor in last nights fighting, has launched an assault on their rival, the RADAA militia Fighting in heavily populated areas of Tripoli

Following up on Roberta and Tarek’s posts Important to understand the cyclical nature of these agreements, alliances change and shift pretty quickly in modern Libya, and any reshuffle and distribution of power in this system could be undone in the future in the same way
