Apparently unpopular opinion: How Harlan Coben still gets work is beyond me.

😡Read this. This opinion piece from TIMES OF ISRAEL explains why Israel is cultivating and buying off the likes of Christian Zionist groups, Afrisol, Cape Seccessionism and many others in SA. It shows how dangerous these groups and their Zionist backers are. blogs.timesofisrael.com/africa-must-...

Dignity belongs to everyone.

If you haven't already, you simply must read this piece from LAST OCTOBER. It's all just one big theatrical production.

Another thing about Maduro capture — this isn’t the work of fools, which means serious military people, and not just trumps dumb and dumber collection of idiots — went along with this. I’m so tired of seeing media frame this as just a Trump thing - this is maybe the most American thing he’s done.

It is the fact that we will not know these Venezuelans names or stories beyond the president and his wife who were kidnapped. That they are talked about as pawns in a global story by us all.

"South Africa views these actions as a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations, which mandates that all Member States refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state." dirco.gov.za/south-africa...

...here is no connection between democratically elected governments and the will of the people. It’s ended. So, the whole charade of Western liberal democracy is as much of a corpse under the rubble as the tens of thousands of Palestinians."

The putrid delusion of the "Western rules-based international order" is disintegrating. Finally.

"Instead, South Africa is moving toward a hybrid arrangement that preserves Eskom’s ownership of the grid, strips the new TSO of transmission assets and risks recreating precisely the conflicts of interest the reform agenda was meant to eliminate." 😡 www.businessday.co.za/opinion/2025...

I'm a secret agent spying on Nazis in occupied France. Lord help me because I can control my mouth, but this FACE!

I love these Thursatundays between Xmas and New Year.

Oof 🗡️❤️ Misan Harriman reading Miral Askar's writing on Moral Fading. What happens to a soul that must constantly justify the suffering of others to maintain its own peace? Beautifully written, beautifully delivered. www.instagram.com/reel/DSpxQ-Y...

While Bethlehem Holds First Full Christmas Since Genocide Began, Little to Celebrate in Gaza

"Tauriq Jenkins ... said the planned wall was a “gross misallocation of public funds”. The money, he argued, should rather be spent on alleviating the conditions of communities still trapped by apartheid-era spatial planning on either side of the highway." www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/city...

It has been shortlisted for an Oscar! By Palestinian American film-maker Cherien Dabis, with executive producers Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ja...

The consensus builds.

What a lovely article.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide. When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble. Happening under a Labour Government.

Belgium files a declaration of intervention in the ICJ (South Africa vs Israel) proceedings under Article 63 of the Statute of the Court www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...

Sana points out that the ten Irish hunger strikers under Margaret Thatcher died after between 46 and 73 days without food. Some Palestine Action hunger strikers have now surpassed 50 days.

Finally some coverage www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Zara Sultana MP, during her visit to Johannesburg, on the pro-Palestine prisoners in the UK who are now on day 50 of their hunger strike. It is shocking how little international media coverage this has received.

Israel’s land seizures in the West Bank aren’t raising questions about the possibility of a two state solution, those questions were answered a long time ago. This is about what kind of one state reality there will be, and the answer to that is also pretty clear. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Ooh boy! If you're Jozi people and also old enough to have nostalgic memories of Bright Blue and Jameson's in the 80's, here's a Xmas present you can buy yourself.

😁

If planning the menu for a potluck Xmas lunch in my family group chat was a song! By the time they got to the 12 days in Africa I was 🤣

What an amazing 🧵

There are few things I love more than wandering around Stonetown's labyrinth of alleyways admiring the doors.

Important.

This! Anyone who has anything to do with the writing of non-native English speakers needs to read this.

In my happy place. After some kind of year this is bliss.
