#LetFreedomSing 'Love , Honour, and Respect Saturday' By Brian Tamuka Kagoro Happy blessed Saturday, family! Tamuka vibes 😎. The week has had its truckload of wahala, shida mingi, matata, inkinga...yoh! Today we are not stepping out with stress — we are stepping out with assured life energy. Karibu, bienvenue, bem-vindo to you as the main character's day! Saturday doesn't ask for your hustle,job title, social position or mad rush . Saturday asks: "Kijana, unalala lini?" — my child, when do you sleep? Answer it honestly, O! Across the continent the old wisdom agrees. In Accra Ga people say "Afe Nyonu"— life is sweet, taste it slowly. In Yoruba land dem say "Ara re ni ijoba re" — your body is your kingdom; govern it with rest. The Swahili coast reminds us how to do Saturday rest ,"Pole pole" — gently, gently, sana. Even your ancestors, may their data never finish, took one day off. Who are you, with your 2% battery and 247 unread emails, to out-work the ancestors? Wallahi, relax! So before you leave the house, assemble the fit. Not the drip — the soul fit. 💎. I no mean to vex you , but if you drop dead from work stress ,by next week the vacancy will be advertised and your friends and colleagues will apply even as your family grieves. Business must go on O! Throw on your "No Gree for Burnout" hoodie. Zikoko-certified, hustle-proof, drama-resistant. Let it repel every ungodly temptation of "quick meeting, just 5 minutes" and "you've seen my missed calls?". Abeg,No! Lace up your "Zviribho, But Make It Fly" sneakers. Every step tells your troubles: "Not the main character, my brother. Supporting cast." Your plans, your vision, your peace — that is the premiere, and the premiere is sold out. Rock your "Ubuntu 2.0: Plugged In, Not Drained" tee. Ubuntu is not free WiFi, people! Family, friendship, love — these are your people, not your battery pack. Love them, don't leak through them. Mon ami, community is not a group project deadline. It's a braai. Bring meat, bring self. A golf day , picnic , fishing trip , game drive , a church social or chai chat . Something that genuinely connects you to your Pips. Slip on your "Sabalkheri — Good Morning to My Peace Only" socks. Say good morning to your own soul first! Clip on your "Tswi-Aye! I Am Chilling" cufflinks — but today the fire is in the jollof, not in your chest. Fasten your "C'est Le Weekend, Bébé"belt : even your problems must apply for leave and wait for HR to respond. Monday. Maybe. And never, ever leave without your "Enyonyam Ara Ara" — Glory, It's Mine"pendant. Claim it, wear it, don't lend it to anyone's drama. Spray the "Only Good Vibes, Alhamdulillah" cologne — gratitude is the fragrance that confuses your enemies' GPS. They can smell the blessing ,good vibes and joy,but they can't locate them. 🙌🏾 Wear your "Fulfilled Life, Hard Faith"* bangles. Because Saturday is the 'Sabbath' of rest and the 'Salah' of the soul — worship, renewal, 'ashe' ( the power to make things happen). Pray, reflect, breathe. Then eat. Twice. You've earned it. 'Dai', so here is the anthem: Saturday survived your whole week —Potholes in Harare , traffic in Lagos, loud hooting in Cairo, deadlines in Nairobi, inflation everywhere, fake friends with real audacity, and your own 3 a.m. overthinking committee. Honour it. Sit tall. Laugh loudly. Glow responsibly. Hydrate. Moisturize. Mind your business. 🧴✨ And tonight, when the sun clocks out with full pension benefits — queue the Jazz, the Blues, the R&B soul, the Afrobeat, the Amapiano, the Kizomba, the Ragga… … and play them ALL on 'SILENT MODE'. 🎧🤫 Because the deepest freedom isn't loud, fam. It's the groove in your chest while the world sleeps — the angels and ancestors on backup vocals, your peace on lead. So whatever you do today: Love, Honour, and Respect Saturday! Let your enemies and worries see you resting and start updating their LinkedIn. Asante. Merci. Obrigado. Ese. Akpe. Modupe.Ndatenda🙏🏾😎🔥

#FoodInsecurity Global Report on Food Crises... Cartoon for @StandardKenya @KTNNewsKE @ktnhome_

Queen Mother Assata explains tapping into her inner African self: "I had changed a lot and moved to a different beat, felt like a different person. It sounded strange when people called me JoAnne. It really had nothing to do with me. I didnt feel like no JoAnne, or no Negro, or no amerikan. I felt like an African woman. From the time i picked my hair out in the morning to the time i slipped off to sleep with Mingus in the background, i felt like an African woman and rejoiced in it. My big, abstract black and white inkblot-looking painting was replaced by paintings of Black people and revolutionary posters. My life became an African life, my surroundings took on an African flavor, my spirit took on an African glow." Queen Mother Assata Shakur, Autobiography

“I know that a number of capitalist governments are controlled by big banks, notwithstanding the existence of "democratic" parliaments. The parliaments assert that they alone control the government. As a matter of fact, the composition of the governments is predetermined, and their actions are controlled by great financial consortiums. Who does not know that there is not a single capitalist "Power" in which the Cabinet can be formed in opposition to the will of the big financial magnates? It is sufficient to exert financial pressure to cause Cabinet Ministers to fall from their posts as if they were stunned. This is real control exercised by banks over governments in spite of the alleged control of parliament. If such control is meant, then I must declare that control of the government by money-bags is inconceivable and absolutely excluded in the U.S.S.R., if only for the reason that the banks have been long ago nationalized and the money-bags have been ousted.” -Joseph Stalin

Brandon Herrera's record, the official Republican nominee for the 2026 midterm election in TX-23: - Mocking veterans - Using Nazi symbols - Disparaging homeless people - Offensive attacks against social activists - Derogatory language toward women Where is America headed?!

Why can't the @UN be shifted to the Global South? Why do we have to be held hostage by the US government in New York? A war criminal, @netanyahu, is allowed to travel there and soil the chamber, but the Palestinians were denied a visa. See my 20 minute conversation with @BTnewsroom - piped.video/watch?v=bTnN3i8b…

"We require — to use the term so dear to Lenin — the ‘professional revolutionaries’. The whole-time workers who have no other ambitions or life-work except the revolution. The greater the number of such workers organized into a party, the greater the chances of your success." -Bhagat Singh, To Young Political Workers

Do you support Dr. Hossam Abu Safieh? ? A. Yes B. No

Netanyahu’s UN speech denying genocide relied on research by John W. Spencer, who is now an advisor to an Israeli defense fund. Meanwhile, Gaza has been flattened. This is not independent expertise. It is an academic shield for Israel serving the empire.

“We must harden ourselves without ever losing our tenderness.” - Che Guevara

NATO emptied every hangar in Europe, deployed 5,000 aircraft, and Iran is still standing, delivering a speech at the UN louder than ever. Very embarrassing.

Today, we officially opened our @UkweliParty offices in Kisii County.
I met with Ukweli Party aspirants and listened to their ideas on how they intend to bring change to their communities. The young people of Kisii are ready to shape the future of our country.

Did you know? On December 11, 1964, Cuban counterrevolutionaries fired a bazooka at the UN headquarters in New York while Che Guevara was delivering a speech to the General Assembly. The shell fell short and exploded harmlessly in the water, but their fear of Che’s words still rattles imperialism today.

Uganda Mourns Sax Legend Moses Matovu; Over 100 Hits, One Band, 50 Years Strong Moses Matovu, 77, one of Uganda’s most celebrated and talented musicians, was killed today in a suspected crime of passion in the Kampala suburb of Kibuli. Over a career spanning nearly 60 years, Matovu composed more than 100 songs and anchored Afrigo Band, Uganda’s longest-running live outfit. He wove together traditional rhythms with rumba and jazz, helping to unify Ugandan pop culture in the process. Among his most remarkable achievements was leading a single band continuously for more than 50 years. He co-founded Afrigo on 31 August 1975 and remained its defining leader, principal composer and frontman until his death on 24 September 2026. No other Ugandan musical group has matched this half-century of uninterrupted existence under one leader. Before establishing Afrigo in 1975, Matovu performed with the Thunderbirds Band (1967), the Uganda Police Band (1968) and the Cranes Band (1969–1975). A self-taught saxophonist, he was also a talented, competitive footballer who played as a right-winger for Express FC, Police FC, Nakivubo Boys (later SC Villa), Kibuli United, Lint FC and Fiat FC before retiring from the pitch in 1972. Matovu was not just a musician, but a man whose music shaped generations and whose rhythm will ringlong after his final note.

The United States also repeatedly used its UN Security Council veto to shield apartheid South Africa from 1974 to 1988.

We are still aliv 🥹🇵🇸 Despite everything, we are still trying to hold on. If you see this photo, please don’t scroll past in silence. Write anything - even a single dot means so much to us and reminds us that we are not alone. 💔🙏 gofund.me/5544bc939
