A betrayal happened in the Oval Office yesterday. A man with blood on his hands was high fived by the Pres and welcomed. Don't ignore the long trail of profit he and the President’s family have made together. Tell me: what do you think this meeting was really about?

🚨NEW: Harvard University President Alan Garber has rejected the Trump Admin's demand to prohibit protests and cut DEI programs to receive funding: "[Harvard] will not negotiate over its independence or constitutional rights." RETWEET to thank Garber for standing up to Trump!

I think this interview comprehensively answers the question that I get asked daily “Are you still involved in the Absa Cape Epic?” Sadly, the short answer is ‘no, I'm not involved at all’. Not so long ago, that would have been unimaginable… treadmtb.co.za/where-to-now-…

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

The media tells the public in advance about dirty Tottenham deal; criminal Thabo Bester; Babita Deokoran's network of haters; circumstantial evidence around Cloete Murray's death, etc. The state then follows. Imagine if there was no media.

This is an utter disgrace and a barefaced lie. To cut salaries with no warning is shocking. To say Independent Media is the only SA media house that has “not embarked on mass retrenchments” is a lie. They have had waves of retrenchments.

Journalism is a pillar of democratic society. The disinfectant in a corrupt nest. I stand with @karynmaughan who is defending herself against a frivolous case meant to bully her into silence. The corrupt betrayers of SA won’t silence Karyn, and won’t silence the rest of us.

Nice one @SuperSportTV ! I understand there are commercial needs, but cut to an ad break with 1.3km of the final stage of Tour of Croatia to go and miss the finish. Seriously! 🤬
