When it’s poor people, they quickly mobilize bulldozers and excavators to tear their houses down in the middle of the night but huku kwingine tunaambiwa “very soon”. Btw, did the houses built on riparian land in Runda ever get demolished?

Almost every resistance movement fought knowing full well they had fewer resources and may never witness victory—and fought anyways. The freedoms we enjoy today were won by people who fought not because victory was guaranteed but because it was right. thebaffler.com/salvos/except-…

Assassinated for trying to feed his people—a deliberate and targeted hit. There is no bottom to Israeli depravity. None.

Heartshattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen. What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.
