A mother in Chile has finally embraced two of her sons for the first time in 40 years. They were taken from her as infants by hospital workers during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet, amid an estimated 20,000 coerced adoptions.

I’m devastated to hear the Dr. Rizk Abou Sheira has been killed in the bombing of Nasser Medical Complex. Dr. Rizk was in the American Doctor documentary operating and serving his people. He lost his life doing that, he lost his life because he was doing that.

The last few days have been difficult. I’ve been raising awareness of sexual violence and challenging a Scottish university’s platforming of a pro-rapist group. The abuse from that group has escalated as a result. Grateful to switch off for a few hours with some equine therapy 🐎

I receive dozens of threats daily from Zionists, including death threats, all because I report on the suffering of my people in Gaza. I will not back down from speaking the truth until my last breath. Support me with a word and follow my account.

Afrophobia, Islamophobia and now they are coming for Indian people and Diwali snacks (of all things). It's exhausting, man. Don't allow these agitators to gain momentum.

And then the trouble began, as always spearheaded & facilitated by apartheid South Africa
On this day in 1975, Angola gained independence from Portugal after a long, armed struggle for liberation. Happy Independence Day to Angola!
