People have given me pushback about sharing Ms. Rachel clips. Upon further consideration, I have decided to double the fuck down.
Ms. Rachel on Gaza: “Why would we bomb kids? All of their schools and their hospitals and then say we can’t call this genocide when the UN said this is intentional target of children. Children were shot in the head and chest. I always think when this comes out, the world’s gonna act. When the UN says it’s genocide with this report, the world’s gonna act - no”
We are in hell, man.

The kind of insensitive nonsense we are expected to cope with as women in this country.
The Chris Brown concert created the biggest job opportunities 4 young people in SA who were considered 2 be unemployable. It was the first time some received a salary. My job as Minister is always to make things easy for our promoters to bring Big Name Artist to SA.

Calling femicide nonsensical because more men are murdered is the kind of deliberately obtuse reasoning you get when misogyny has completely eaten whatever critical thinking was left. 1/n
Would be nice if we could have five minutes to mourn the deaths of these women before talking about men's experiences of crime. This is not a zero sum game, guys.

"When people talk about the need for Black Excellence I counter with an insistence on Black mediocrity: the right for black people to be as average, flawed, compromised & mistaken as any other group of people. The right, ultimately, to be human." R.I.P. Jason Arday

God, this is so, so good. It should make everyone in America's decadent media establishment -- and everyone on this deranged website, marinating in Musk's algorithm -- feel bad about themselves. But of course it won't.

Why have South African workers not taken up most of the jobs vacant because of forced deportations?
#Immigrant workers have subsidised South Africa ‘s economy with their premium agricultural labour skills and serf-like wages and conditions. Historically, this happened on our mines with workers from Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho and the Bantustans.
Ruben Pretorius provides serious fruit for thought in this @dailymaverick article.

You were vaccinated. Multiple times. How do I know?
Because I cooked an event you attended in early 2022. The venue’s policy was: if you wanted to attend unmasked, you had to be vaccinated (this didn’t stop until April that year at this venue). You also had to RSVP well in advance and provide a negative COVID test before the event. So if you were there, you met those requirements. But by all means, keep bullshitting.
Painful. That is all I can say about watching #AndreaJohnson. Painful for a country so desperate for credible law enforcement. Painful watching the media squabbling. Painful for victims of crime who deserve better than this.
Painful to have to question, over and over, year after year, whether our prosecutors and crime intelligence act lawfully. How many times do we have to do this before trust in the system is restored?
In the muck of it, was grateful to follow @karynmaughan 's painstaking live reporting to help me wade through the mire.

March and March is an illegal and undocumented organisation.
It needs to be stopped and its architects investigated and prosecuted.
It is receiving massive, undisclosed funding - likely also from foreign sources. It has an army of full-time social media bots spewing lies and hate, and it has corrupted the mainstream media to amplify its message.
There is a crisis of orchestrated xenophobic hate that now presents a threat to the nation on the same existential scale as State Capture. And it's the same people behind it.
It is not enough to be silent or to condemn only the worst acts of violence from the mobs. We need to resist the whole project of lies, hate and violence before it achieves the national instability that is its primary aim.
