I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

There’s a point where “take precautions” becomes practically unfeasible. Jogging in a public park during the day is taking precautions. So is collecting a parcel from a government post office. It just puts the responsibility on women while doing nothing to address the issue

Our motto is “!ke e: ǀxarra ǁke,” which translates from the extinct ǀXam language to “diverse people unite.” It ought to be an anchoring message in all gov messaging, every speech & branding to build a much-needed greater sense of civic duty & social cohesion among SA’s people.

If anyone is wondering how not updating this app since it was twitter is going: pictures display as links, I can’t post replies, I can see the number of QTs but not what they actually say, and I approximately 75% of DMs never show up. But at least I got that bird.

In my work, I encounter people being vilified and destroyed (often with some just cause) and I always hammer home to their employers that they have profound responsibility to manage that person’s welfare regardless of what else is going on. That’s all I can think of right now 😔

🚨#BreakingNews: The Constitutional Court has set aside Shell’s entire right to explore for oil and gas off the Wild Coast declaring the entire process flawed for, among other things, inadequate consultation with communities!

There is no path to shared prosperity by turning public goods/essential services into opportunities for private profit.The answer to a failing state is not to sell it off but to build a capable state that delivers quality services, invests in people,puts public good before profit

Folks, when possible, please BUY and eat MORE GUAVAS. The Guava producers of our country are complaining about the generally weak demand for their produce.
We see the same story as with SORGHUM, where demand is generally weak, leading to reduced production.

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?
Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?
Nyc.gov/summer is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.
Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

Zohran Mamdani is proof that politicians could get a lot of shit done if they actually cared about people

Please support my friend! He has been walking from Durban to Cape Town to raise money for his studies.
He wants to use this course to build on his architectural career to innovate ways to make people having houses easier and better designed in townships and informal settlements.
So proud of him!
I got into Harvard’s Master in Design Engineering because of an app I built to help people in townships and informal settlements design, build, and finance their own homes.
But I can’t afford to go.
So I decided to walk from Durban to Cape Town to raise the funds myself.
Along the way, I’ve had to spend money on proper hiking gear just to survive the journey. Today something incredible happened:@kway_za through. I even connected with the guy who designed my bag, and they’re now sponsoring some of my gear.
What’s wild is that my good friend @mbalimcdust encouraged me to write an article about my journey, and that article led to Cape Union Mart reaching out. A reminder that sharing your story can open unexpected doors.
I’m even willing to take a loan, but as an international student I can’t get one in the US, and I can’t access one here because I’m leaving to study overseas.
Like the youth of ’76, I’m done waiting. This walk is my small way of fighting to become the change I want to see in a crisis that’s deeply personal to me. Three decades into democracy, 2.5 million South Africans are still waiting for an RDP home. Some families have waited for decades. My aunt passed away still waiting.
Please support and share my journey.

A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that progress means advances in tech. Real progress is kids who are literate, free meals for public school students, a culture in which human art & poetry are celebrated. We're regressing rapidly & the only way forward is to read.

It’s kind of insane that we’re all lucky enough to live on this insignificant blue ball floating in an endless void that can somehow keep us alive indefinitely and yet a huge chunk of people want to ruin it forever in the name of an economic concept that we made up ourselves
