Leaving Thembisa, MOST of the street lights don’t work. Some areas don’t even have polls or any indication that there was ever some sort of light. I fail to understand how this is even happening. Basic services like street lights? The President this evening indicating this will be dealt with. Why do 11 bodies of women need to be found before we get street lights?

A 16 year fight. Millions of rands on legal fees. Many more hectares of land sold by the DA that could have been used for affordable housing. A momentous victory for Cape Town people 😭✊🏾 Thank you @NdifunaUkwazi @ReclaimCT ✊🏾🙏🏾❤️
#Tafelberg #ConCourt #SpatialJustice @ConCourtSA: Unanimous judgment: @CityofCT & @WesternCapeGov City of Cape Town remains divided. The matter is about full access to the City about “Right to the City”. Location is not a peripheral to housing access. State bears a burden to align with Constitutional transformation. City had failed to provide any housing in well located areas. No justification for City’s policies lacking geographical location considerations. No justification for failing to provide housing in Sea Point. City cannot use land value as a basis for denying access to housing. (Helen Zille told me “using high value land for affordable housing was over subsidizing the poor”) City and Province has failed in their constitutional duties to provide well located affordable housing and to address spatial apartheid. VICTORY! Disposal of Tafelberg School site by WC Government was unlawful. @ReclaimCT @NdifunaUkwazi 👏👏👏

The Mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill-Lewis, calls us Stalinists when we ask that he puts policy measures in place, such as inclusionary housing and rent control/regulation so that Cape Town can be affordable for locals. Please register to vote 🙏🏾
It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager. He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away. Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.

This old woman wants you to believe that she is a politician that is somehow free from idealogy. That she is just a service provider. She cannot campaign on her idealogy because her idealogy is harmful to the majority of this country.
DA Johannesburg mayoral candidate Helen Zille says people must forget about any ideology she stands for. She says they vote for her because she wants to fix the city. #DAcongress2026 Watch: tinyurl.com/2wk5daan

I always ask this. Like where's their ConCourt, their parliament, their EFF and DA, their ruling party's NEC, their Helen Suzman Foundation, their AfriForun private prosecutors 😭
What does America even mean that it is a democracy when they have one person with so much power? And there’s nothing they can do?

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

I HAD to laugh reading that Biden wasnt in the Epstein files, wasnt being blackmailed by anyone in any way, nor were his family being threatened. He just TRULY believed in supporting Israel. Like buddy was committing a genocide for the love of the game. It’s INSANE
What I keep going back to is what the hell was Biden’s Justice Department even doing that whole time

🇻🇪 Venezuelans want to know where Maria Machado is: "Where is the statement from the so-called Nobel Peace Prize winner who talks about peace, when her country, Venezuela, has been attacked by American imperialism?"

MADURO: "The truth has now been revealed. They aim to impose a puppet government that wouldn't last even 47 hours, that would hand over the Constitution, sovereignty and all the wealth, and turn Venezuela into a colony. Simply put, that is never, EVER, going to happen."

Piers Morgan: “What happens to a country like Russia, which committed war crimes emerges unpunished for any of this?” Jeffrey Sachs: “Well, if the US were punished for all its war crimes, the world would be a better place... if Israel was punished for its genocide...

My mom goes to elderly university for free in China. It is probably the best thing they have done for elderly. She likes it so much. You can take any subject you like, no exam, no certificate, just learning for fun. She’s now learning gardening, music, philosophy, and some geopolitics. There are farmers travelling all the way to the school everyday to learn. This is 1000x better than stupid elderly home which basically kill elderly quickly rather than care.

It's so silly how American politics is just nonstop fake revolutions now. Millions flooded the US streets for the "No Kings" protests over the weekend to oppose a monarchy which does not exist without making a single tangible demand. Power was not challenged in any meaningful way. The status quo wasn't disrupted in the slightest. People held up some signs saying the president is orange and that if Kamala were president they would be at brunch, and then went home. The whole thing was just one big pep rally for the Democratic Party, designed to accomplish nothing beyond getting American liberals excited about the prospect of someday voting for Gavin Newsom. A bunch of boomers showed up to dance around and hold signs and feel as though they are fighting the power in their feely bits, while drumming up support for the same status quo which gave rise to Trump in the first place. You see the same fake revolutionary astroturf zeitgeist on the Republican side. American rightists are constantly pretending they're fighting some kind of populist rebellion against an oppressive establishment even while their party controls every branch of the US government. They act like Trump is ending the wars and fighting the Deep State even as he stomps out free speech on behalf of Israel, rolls out a Palantir surveillance system, pours weapons into facilitating Israel's genocidal atrocities, bombs Iran and Yemen, ramps up for war with Venezuela, and perpetuates the horrific proxy war in Ukraine. It's two plutocrat-owned warmongering imperialist parties whipping their respective bases into the mass delusion that they are participating in a heroic act of revolutionary defiance by voting Democrat or Republican. They get everyone fighting a fake revolution so that nobody thinks about fighting a real one.

She supports the U.S. waging war against her own country for regime change (theguardian.com/world/2019/m…). The Nobel "Peace" Prize, being its usual mockery of itself. Basically a reward for the most rabid defendents of a western liberal order, "peace" being a distant afterthought.
In the past year, #NobelPeacePrize laureate Maria Corina Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions of people. When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.
