What’s happening to the Animals in the Mara is so very sad. The fact that the maasai elders are being silenced and the judiciary system is convoluted for an obvious reason is even worse. Isn’t it really obvious that what the Marriot-ritz carlton did was wrong, how did they sail?

BONIFACE MWANGI ARRESTED OVER TERROR FACILITATION
Boniface Mwangi was arrested yesterday, July 19, 2025, by detectives at his residence in Lukenya in Machakos County in connection with the facilitation of terrorist activities during the June 25, 2025, protests.
During the arrest, detectives recovered two mobile phones, a laptop, and several notebooks.
He was later escorted to his office at Mageuzi Hub, Rose Avenue in Hurlingham, where a search led to the recovery of: nine assorted external hard drives, two laptops, company seals for Brave Media Ltd and Courage Ltd, a company stamp, six cheque books, copies of stamp duty documents, two unused tear gas canisters and one 7.62mm blank round.
Mwangi is currently in custody at Pangani Police Station, where he is undergoing processing to be arraigned tomorrow, Monday, July 21, 2025, for offences related to facilitation of terrorist acts and unlawful possession of ammunition.

There is a statue in Nairobi of a man they hunted and murdered for leading "terrorists".
His grave is lost.
But memory persisted.
We're correcting the story.
Mau Mau was illegal until 2003.
Kimathi now stands—dead, but free—in the heart of a State that demanded he kneel.

Yesterday and today, victims of @WilliamsRuto are being buried, held unlawfully, fundraised for as they're in hospital - but what do these churches do? Align with him.
If your church is represented here and you still attend it - YOU ARE ALSO THE PROBLEM.

This could be unrelated, but I've just remembered that even Ahab and Jezebel had a hoard of priests of Baal defending their altars.

Urgent!
Negotiating with families, health facilities, people, going into our own pockets because we can only afford some hospital and mortuary bills.
My money is depleted.
Some of the volunteers are dipping into savings.
Please AMPLIFY!

Hello guys, I need your attention ,jokes aside.
We have bodies stuck in morgues and patients stuck in hospitals with bills piling up. It’s heartbreaking, and it’s urgent.
@Ngartia and his team have created a collective fundraising link to help support all the victims. M-Changa has had issues since last year but the KSh 250,000 raised there will still be used to pay hospital bills.
Please share widely. Please donate. Let’s help those still fighting in hospital and give a proper send-off to those we’ve lost.

That's why we should use " State Sponsored Militia" so that Western governments supporting this regime never claim they didn't know what he was doing. They knew, and still funded and supported Must Go while being " deeply concerned " each time we embarrassed their puppet

You are not - can never be - the opposition because in every ideological sense you offer nothing different from the Ruto enterprise.

Lawyers,
Is this right:
After many delays, @KNH_hospital finally removed a bullet from one of our comrades.
But they refused to hand it over or even let her take a picture.
We are too busy with @WakenyaForKenya to deal with this.
Could Kenyans please take over?
#RutoMustGo
They've been going after those they shot.
Either let you die home, or try get the bullet out.
@WakenyaForKenya has been forced to transfer patients to more secure hospitals.
They took this one.
We were assured that once it is in the surgeon's report, it's evidence.

The DCIO based at Nyeri Central Police wanted to extort us and when we refused they put these false charges on us.
They can look for some one else to intimidate. I might have a cute face and a small body but tutapelekana na wao mpaka tuheshimiane

So according to DCI Nyeri, because my friends and I notified them of our peaceful protest on 25th June, we are the ones who looted and destroyed property.
Fuck the police , Ruto and all his minions!
Judy King’ori Wangui and Zipporah Njeri Maina were today arraigned before the Nyeri Chief Magistrate’s Court facing charges- unlawful procession, theft of goods worth Sh130M from Naivas Supermarket and malicious damage to property at Nyeri Police Station and DCI offices. They were released on Sh70,000 bail or Sh200,000 bond. Case to be mentioned on July 23rd, 2025.

I've spent my whole day from 6:30am in Makutano today, there were no protests in this area. Those who have torched this supermarket are not protesters but government sponsored thugs

It's all over central. The thing with these small towns ni ati watu wanajuana. You know almost everyone and their village. Today there were foreign faces in almost every town in central. Huko Karatina we know ni Wamumbi aliwaleta. Na walilala Sagana before waraukie kucause chaos
#Rutomustgo. while we are reimagining kenya we have to reboot what police are for. Reprogram their relationship with the people they serve. Like from the top to the bottom. And Let us no longer be able to say it’s for people who failed school.

This is why we are building @WakenyaForKenya.
On 25th and 26th June 2025,
I spent the nights trying to get ambulances past #KenyaPolice Roadblocks.
None could pass.
This is a calculated Massacre.
