  • Trump Meeting with Ramaphosa

    “So although Pretoria’s Hague-centric Palestine solidarity (forgotten when it comes to Glencore-Motsepe’s massive coal sales to Israel to empower the genocidaires) probably can’t really be sacrificed aside from ‘dropping the megaphone’ (which was already done), we can expect Ramaphosa to offer Trump:…”

Another told me a Sunni friend — a friend — threatened to kill her. A Christian businessman I’ve known for years texted that he would no longer send me anything political via WhatsApp, because the new government was watching.”
