You are genocide normalizers and legitimizers in Sudan and P@lestine…and you signed this on the anniversary of the UAE funded RSF genocidal massacres in El Fashir where blood was visible from space via satellite image.
Today is a historic day for Canada and the United Arab Emirates. With a landmark trade agreement and a new Strategic Partnership, we are deepening cooperation on regional security, expanding investment and opening new doors for Canadian businesses. It was a pleasure to welcome His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on the first visit to Canada by a Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.

We gathered on October 29th, 2026, right outside of the UAE Embassy in D.C., side by side with our Tigrayan, Palestinian, Congolese brothers and sisters, to commemorate one year since this evil entity orchestrated the massacre of El Fasher, to demand a UAE arms embargo. #sudan

This is a feature of fascists regimes that want to stifle dissent with the threat of prison. The 2013 law had removed the antiquated clause of prison term for defamation. jamaica-gleaner.com/article/…

I wrote this piece long before this war broke out arguing that Emirati land grabs in Sudan are about much more than food security but rather a strategy of empire-making and sub-imperial ambition in the region. It is based on research in the Gezira from 2013-2018 #KeepEyesOnSudan

Mental illness is not a crime. Yet some Jamaicans found unfit to plead have spent decades in prison without trial. They belong in care, not cells. #WorldMentalHealthDay #JamaicansforJustice #MentalHealth

The point he’s making is one that strengthens connection between the doctors’ fight with the conditions of the health care system affecting all Jamaicans. Workers can make their issues into social issues. Win for all.
We appreciate your service. I humbly suggest that instead of focusing on salaries alone (impression created from the publicity on that) you, JMDA, must now mobilize and focus on conditions of service.

Last year we noticed data showing enormous increases in gold exports from Africa to the UAE, particularly from countries adjacent to war zones in places like Congo & Sudan. Since then we've been flying around the world to follow the supply chain & crunching the numbers 🧵

For your information:
Landing at JFK now means your phone is fair game. In a recent ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals held that border agents need neither a warrant nor any individualized suspicion to manually search a traveler’s phone at a U.S. port of entry. gadgetreview.com/no-warrant-…

NAOMI KLIEIN to SAM ALTMAN: "...you ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation and without credit to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed. You are not 'liberating human creativity' -- you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft 'training data'."
