Congo's going to the World Cup for the first time since this happened! 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩!

Come on you boys in blue! #COYBIB! 🇨🇩⚽🏆

"‘incomprehensible’... I would balk at describing this as deliberate framing from the belligerent warring parties. Rather, this framing suits outside stakeholders & observers...who have yet to entirely move away from the colonial & imperial understanding of Sudan and wars on the African continent."

My friend Ami is featured in Vogue!!! "For this year’s International Women’s Month, Vogue Philippines invites leading and rising Filipina women to share their stories" As long as I've known her Ami has always been leading and rising in the fight for equality! vogue.ph/internationa...

The Great Firewall in the Sky allows God to screen his calls and avoid all the "smite my neighbors requests" which he admits he used to engage with back in what he referred to as Bible 1 times.

The filibuster kept Jim Crow voting restrictions alive for decades. Now, it might be nuked so the GOP can reinstate Jim Crow voting restrictions... Anti-Blackness continues to shape the very structures of our government. But let's pretend like you need a driver's license to go to the grocery store.

The SNL skit of rejected submissions writes itself. I hope the union knows some comedy writers and gets ahead of this.

I was fortunate to have many international peers @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social @columbiauniversity.bsky.social They brought new perspectives and challenged my assumptions to make me a better student. This is a terrible moment for US higher education and the consequences will last for generations.

$15k for each person traveling >$2,000 in flights for 4 people >$1500/game/person for tkts $$$ Hotels Car rental (in effort to avoid expensive nearby hotels) Parking fees And you might get detained indefinitely at any moment, so $10k handy for a lawyer Not how bread & circuses are supposed to work.

Amazing

Sharing my recent heart to heart conversation with @keefemurren.bsky.social @proximate.bsky.social We talked about the aid sector, the Haiti Community Foundation, power, community and more… www.proximate.press/latest-stori...

History rhyming: the Bezos East India Company is trying to wrest the Space Trade from the Elon East India Company. arstechnica.com/space/2026/0...

I did a series of interviews for Proximate Press asking community-based organizations how they are surviving and how the post-USAID system must be changed: www.proximate.press/latest-stori... Haiti Community Foundation founder, Marie-Rose Romain Murphy.

When I hear $200 billion for a war only the economic elite want, i picture this, except it's our healthcare, parks, libraries, and SNAP benefits being hurled beyond the parapet.

Not everything is a nail... But all cops are hammers. Non-police response works. It makes sense. It saves lives. It saves money. and it doesn't require cops to respond to every challenge that a society faces (or doesn't want to face head on). youtu.be/sdQrR-Yo_Eg?...

This is leprechaun erasure. They are solitary tricksters who also for some reason make shoes and have lots of loot. Also, they wore red and tried to drown the king of Ulster. So more like Kneecap than some cereal box mascot.

He missed an important one: Constance Markievicz 1st woman ever elected to the British Parliament, but stayed in Dublin to form the 1st democratically elected gov of Ireland. She was said to be over 6' tall and a good shot.

We should start calling it the diversity dividend.

Jut scrolling back 2000-ish years and found someone who might disagree about your 1920s introspection origin story and your self-aggrandizing amorality... You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Mathew 7:5

People assume it's Star Wars or Indiana Jones, but they forget about Apocalypse Now and Pets 2.

Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Vance, Rubio, Duffy, MacMahon, not to mention Peter Thiel and so many other Catholics are actively supporting and accelerating this future theocracy, the one where "and then they came for the Catholics" becomes their reality... Well done.

He's gong for the EGOT of other people's awards.

I think everyone should compose one of these :90 praise songs for themselves. 🥰 🇿🇼 Chirombo Woye Nditerere (Poor thing, listen to me.) A Self-delectative song (praise song), performed by 13-year-old Mugadzikwa Mwanagona, with mbira. Masvingo, Zimbabwe, 1951 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hobV...

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

No to be outdone, Hegseth has invited Colonel John Smith, Lieutenant Templeton Peck, Sergeant Bosco Baracus, and Captain H.M. Murdock to teach the Army Corps of Engineers how to take a blow torch, a pinto and some scrap metal and turn it into a tank.

I'm house sitting in the Little Caribbean part of Brooklyn rn. Incredible neighborhood. People all out & about, 18 kinds of grilled meats fill the air, lots of nurses scrubs, cute kids heading to school & proprietor owned businesses everywhere. This is not just cruel it's economically ignorant. 🇭🇹💙❤️🙏

Newsom comes out in support of Trans water fountains, bathrooms, and sleeping car accommodations. In his statement he said, "You know, equal, but over there. Separate."

I'd like to think that The Trumpeter Swan Society has been around for millennia. Initiating new members, passing on esoteric knowledge, and waiting for this exact phone call. "I can confirm it is a trumpeter swan," Margaret Smith, executive director of the Trumpeter Swan Society, told Hell Gate.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

Epic Furor ends when the Führer says it's over.

My biology professor sister just shared the coolest thing with me. Handmade Nudibranchs, aka Sea Slugs. They aren't cheap, but they are damn cool: woolcreaturelab.com Ditch your Labubu. Get yourself a felted Nudi now. www.thisiscolossal.com/2026/03/wool...

If you needed a dose of hope today, this might just do it. 🏳️‍⚧️ 💗 (If within your means, I think they're still selling these. I recommend the Lemon-Ups with their lemon sugar glaze and sassy sayings written on each cookie.)

Miller just declared the sovereign nations within our national borders enemies. Same for the sovereign nations that make up the UK, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, and Denmark. And if intolerance of their existence is the answer, Catalunya, Basque Country and the Irish would probably like a word.

"within its territories" is doing a lot of work. The Irish Potato Famine, the genocide of Indigenous peoples in the Americas, the genocide of Congolese by King Leopold and on and on, all happened within the "territories" claimed by these pillars of "the West" He's expressing genocidal intent.

"Sex for Gold, produced by Africa Uncensored's reporter Tracy Bonareri, investigates sexual exploitation in artisanal gold-mining communities, where women are forced to trade their bodies for access to gold." youtu.be/NR7HYxLSe8s?...

The irony. DHS is the #1 reason people fear coming to the US for the World Cup. Save your money, stay home and throw the biggest BBQ/asado/braai/nyama choma/bulgogi/etc you can. Gather with your neighbors until we learn to love our neighbors too.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

“Just because you are outside of your home doesn’t mean you have consented to having a random bozo collect your face and your name, the latter of which can enable them to search for your digital presence or even home address. The act of existing in public should not carry those risks.”

Reposting this appeal. US Foreign Aid cuts hitting refugees in camps HARD. Not enough food. No work. A friend and young mother needs help. Please share and consider donating yourself. 🙏🙏🙏 bsky.app/profile/keef...

My rage is incandescent. It's like Theresienstadt in reverse. Cruelty and dehumanization of children is the point rather than the Nazis' pretend kindness as propaganda. If you're just following orders and those orders involve stealing crayons from kids, quit your f-ing job!

We are announcing today a policy of retribution against the innocent, specifically targeting the old and infirm. Whose his pastor? Where's his catechism? The press should refer to him as a lapsed Catholic. Anything else is misinformation.

Just AWFUL on all fronts. He survived a genocide only to be killed by racism and xenophobia in the very place that supposedly gave him asylum.

Mutual Aid Request: Aza Nsbimana (aka M-Lay) has been a refugee since 2009 living in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. She has 3 small children & recently adopted 3 more who were starving due to neglect and US aid cuts. More of her story in 🧵 below. Please help chamberofhopefoundation.org/story3.html
