Kagame’s regime may resort to killing, kidnapping, and arbitrary arrests, but it must recognize that freedom of speech is a fundamental human right. No level of repression will ever succeed in silencing an entire nation. Dutegereje ko Bizimana aza kutubwira amateka y’ ababyeyi ba BadRama n’ uburyo yonse igengabitekerezo…... show more

I received the 2025 Difference Day Honorary Title for Freedom of Expression from VUB & Université libre de Bruxelles. In my remarks / acceptance speech Before the rectors of both universities, academics, journalists, and human rights defenders, I used that moment not to celebrate, but to name contradictions. I was honored for speaking freely, while in Rwanda - the country I come from - those who dare to speak are silenced, imprisoned, exiled, or killed. I spoke the names that Kagame’s regime tries to erase like Kizito Mihigo, Innocent Bahati, Boniface Twagirimana, Diane Shima Diane Rwigara & John Williams Ntwali. These are not isolated tragedies / cases. They reflect a system built on fear, repression, and the elimination of dissent. I also reminded the audience that Kagame’s regime extends its violence beyond Rwanda’s borders into the Democratic Republic of Congo, where millions have died in conflicts fueled by Kigali’s direct involvement, documented by the United Nations and human rights groups. Rwanda is too often praised abroad as a “success story.” Clean streets and growth statistics are showcased while the prisons, disappearances, and wars are ignored. This is not stability - it is repression, marketed to the world. My message was clear: Donors must attach real human rights conditions to aid, Journalists must investigate disappearances and political prisoners, Universities must preserve testimonies and provide space to exiled scholars, Policymakers must stop enabling repression and confront it with action. Freedom of expression is not a gift. It is not a privilege granted by governments. It is a right. It is a lifeline. And in Kagame’s Rwanda, it remains under attack. Watch my full speech here 📽️.

Today marks 35 years since the assassination of the pro-democracy lawyer and activist, Dr. Abdorrahman Boroumand, in Paris -- and 25 years since his daughters founded the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center. The Center, including its first project, the #Omid_Memorial, is dedicated to promoting Boroumand's ideals. Its creation also sends a message to the proponents of terror: Using violence to eliminate their opponents will not succeed in eliminating their ideas. Indeed, the memory of their victims challenges the collective conscience of a nation and spurs many to fight for freedom and human rights. Killing an opponent may delay, but it surely will not end, the quest for freedom.

🚨UPDATE: "I will fight for the right of Muhoozi to speak his nonsense. But not with that office. I will fight for freedom of speech. But the office of CDF is an office belonging to the people of Uganda. It cannot relate authority. It is not an individual decision. That authority is supposed to work to protect every citizen of Uganda, and every person lawfully living in Uganda. So how does a leader of a political party get taken incommunicado, then post pictures? No." ~ UPC party president Jimmy Akena

Freedom of speech is a fundamental right in America. Sadly we live in a time where debate, dialogue and dissent can be cause for cancellation and censorship by those in power. To defend free speech, we must use it. I’m announcing a new partnership today with X where under Elon Musk leadership, free speech is not only protected, it is celebrated. We will be bringing you stories & news about the truth of what’s happening in our country and world but that those in power don’t what you hear, and a series of short films that share the stories of those most impacted, but whose voices are silenced. Looking forward to working with Linda Yaccarino, Brett Weitz and the team News Business!

#Kagame’s Liberation Day Speech was full of Hypocrisy, Contradiction, and Utter Desperation. He began by praising former #RPA soldiers, claiming their sacrifices successfully restored dignity and rights to Rwandans. This is a blatant lie. Today, Rwandans live under a regime of unprecedented oppression, crushed by a dictatorship more ruthless than any before it. 👉He boasted that good governance and absolute security drove #Rwanda's progress but True security does not exist where citizens are routinely subjected to enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and where the regime aggressively blocks any independent investigations. The speech closed on a note of pure panic. Sensing that international backing is crumbling, Paul Kagame desperately warned the youth that their "war will never end" and that they must prepare for perpetual conflict. #MillenZmovementRw we’re calling on all Rwandan youth to reject this manipulation.Refuse to die in #Kagame’s predatory wars of plunder in #DRC. Let’s Reject the regime's toxic narrative of endless war designed to keep the nation trapped in fear.

Today in Parliament, during the final King’s Speech debate, I made it clear: the Right to Food is not charity it is a fundamental human right. In one of the richest countries on earth, no child should go hungry while billionaires grow richer. No pensioner should be forced to skip meals. No family should have to choose between heating and eating. Food poverty is not inevitable. It is the direct result of political choices, austerity and an economic system that puts profit before people. That must change. Our Right to Food Commission report will provide the government with a ready made solution a roadmap to end food insecurity and guarantee dignity for all by investing in our children and the future economy. #RightToFoodCommission

Old school Republicans know abortion is a political IED for 2024 and they are absolutely right. We as Democrats have a fundamental responsibility to ensure that every tragedy bestowed on families by these barbaric laws, are projected burned into the conscience of America. We have an obligation to broadcast the story of every innocent woman murdered by the state, in support of their fetal fundamentalist crusade against women’s HUMAN RIGHTS. What will it take ladies? How many women must die? How many women must be left infertile before with ONE VOICE, you rise up and say: N O T I N O U R N A M E #DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46

Fmr. CENTCOM commander Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie says the U.S. military needs “to have an endgame in view, but we shouldn't be thinking about an off-ramp right now.” “We need to think about continuing to impose our will on the enemy and continue this fight at a very high level,” he tells Margaret Brennan. “For me at least, an endgame would be either you get a regime you can negotiate with, a new regime, that may be unlikely, but our history of predicting regime changes in the Middle East of totalitarian states is uniformly poor. The other alternative is, you get some kind of successor state that you might be able to cut a deal with, while it may be unpalatable in some dimensions.”

The Albanese Labor Government's introduction of new misinformation and disinformation legislation is just a renewed attack on freedom of speech in Australia. This terrible bill will be strongly opposed by One Nation Australia! Labor has never understood freedom of speech or how it works, and people always fear what they don’t understand. That’s why Labor wants to shut down freedom of speech. That’s why Labor wants to give itself the power to decide what is misinformation and disinformation, and use this power to silence honest debate and honest criticism. Labor is appalled at the very notion that Australians still have the right to say things that Labor doesn’t agree with. Labor doesn’t trust the Australian people to sort out truth from fiction for themselves. With this bill, Labor shows its contempt for the intelligence of the Australian people. Labor will use this power to silence dissent. If you speak the truth that gender ideology is contrived nonsense, or that climate change is a scam, or that COVID-19 vaccines are harmful – Labor will have the power to silence you. This bill is all the evidence this country needs to have a good, hard look at enshrining the right to free speech in the Constitution. One Nation tried to move an inquiry to kick start this process. Labor opposed it along with those other staunch opponents of free speech in Australia, the Greens. When are Australians going to wake up and understand these parties for what they are? They despise democracy and the principles which underpin its foundations. There is no democracy in Australia without freedom of speech, its most important principle. One Nation will always fight to protect true freedom of speech in our continual efforts to defend Australian democracy.

Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech. "Only two sorts of people oppose free speech... snowflakes and totalitarians." "Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings." "It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit." "No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it." "You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said." "You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say." "Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few."

🇨🇺 Ambassador of Cuba to Canada Rodrigo Malmierca Diaz on how the United States is suffocating an entire population, in his address to the Canadian Parliament’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development “Without energy, every aspect of life in a country is affected.” “The objective of this oil blockade is clear: to create a humanitarian crisis and try to force regime change through it.” “The collective punishment of a whole nation is an unjustifiable crime. One may disagree with the country’s political project, but there is no right whatsoever that justifies a great power — based on its economic and military might — interfering in its internal affairs, violating its independence. Much less acceptable is a superpower attempting to achieve its objectives by suffocating an entire people.”

Pope Leo XIV: First right enshrined by the nation's founders was the right to life, for no one who is deprived of life can enjoy liberty or pursue happiness. The country's vitality is deeply tied to the value it affords to human life in every form and condition, acknowledging the dignity endowed upon every human person by virtue of their very existence. The inherent worth of every human life has led the noble hearts of generations to praise the marvelous works of the Creator and stand in reverence before so precious a gift. It is precisely this reverence that we must continue to cultivate, one that sways the hearts of individuals and inspires laws that recognize and safeguard the gift from the moment of conception to natural death. Reverence will aid us in discovering that we are guardians and stewards of those entrusted to our care. In this regard, the moral greatness of a nation is manifested above all in its capacity to support, protect and cherish the lives of all, especially the most vulnerable and those whose worth is questioned.

🚨 BREAKING: BRITISH GOVERNMENT CRACK DOWN ON PEACEFUL PROTEST—23 ARRESTED AT PARLIAMENT SQUARE ⛓️ Today, the fundamental right to express dissent has been taken away from the British people. The Home Secretary has bypassed the democratic process to grant police the power to not only ban every protest they do not agree with, but ban it before it even takes place. That is thoughtcrime. Regardless of our political beliefs, as citizens, our freedom to assemble and march is a fundamental human right that is protected under international law. It is the bedrock of true democracy — something we must fight to uphold. The stakes at this moment in history are higher than they have ever been.

Freedom of Religion or Belief: A Fundamental Human Right Freedom of religion or belief is a fundamental human right guaranteed by international conventions and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Every individual has the right to hold, practice, express, and peacefully propagate his or her religion or belief, openly and publicly, without fear, intimidation, or discrimination. In this 21st century an era defined by technology and social media individuals, groups, companies, organizations, and both governmental and non-governmental bodies freely utilize digital platforms to create awareness, educate the public, and broadcast their programmes and values. Religious engagement and propagation in the public space have therefore become a normal and accepted part of modern society. In this same spirit, we, the Muslims of South-Eastern Nigeria, affirm our lawful and peaceful right to practice and propagate Islam. We should not be silenced, intimidated, threatened, or attacked for carrying out our legitimate religious activities in a peaceful and responsible manner. Our faith teaches wisdom, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence, and this remains the foundation of our engagement with society. We strongly reject all forms of harassment, threats, hate speech, and attacks targeted at Muslims or any religious group. Such actions undermine social harmony, violate fundamental human rights, and threaten peaceful coexistence in our diverse society. We therefore say no to intimidation, no to threats, and no to attacks. We also say no to religious bigotry, intolerance, and discrimination. Freedom of religion or belief is not a privilege granted to a few; it is a right owed to all. Mutual respect, understanding, and the rule of law must guide our coexistence in a pluralistic society.

KASPAROV: Putin is the enemy of every normal, free human being. He’s embodiment of absolute evil that must be eradicated. Fight against Putin, fight against Putin regime, is a part of global war between forces of freedom and tyranny. Ukrainian front is its most important front. In reality, this frontline runs across entire planet, from Taiwan to Cuba. The outcome of the clash in Ukraine will influence the general direction of global developments. And there’s no other path for Russia’s future than Ukraine’s victory and defeat of Putin’s regime. Russian history clearly shows that change is only possible after a military and geopolitical defeat. Therefore, today’s aid to Ukraine, the fight for its victory and for Russia’s defeat, is an attempt to create conditions for Russian Empire, after its inevitable collapse, to transform into a state that will be part of the free world in its rivalry with Chinese hegemony.

🚨 IRAN STANDS ON THE EDGE OF HISTORY Millions of Iranians are in the streets, defying an Islamic dictatorship that has ruled through fear, prisons, and bullets. Reports now point to thousands of civilians killed as the regime desperately tries to hold onto power. President Trump has just confirmed the U.S. is watching this minute-by-minute, with the military assessing “very strong options” as protesters are shot, trampled, and silenced by force. This is not a normal protest cycle. This is a nation trying to break free. When a regime starts killing its own people in the open, it is no longer governing — it is collapsing. The only question left is how long it can keep pretending otherwise. If the Iranian people succeed, it will be one of the most significant political shifts of the 21st century: the fall of a theocratic police state and the return of a nation to its people. The world is holding its breath.

We in the GTA are home to a large community of Iranians who left their homeland and now call Canada home. Yet, seeing the events unfolding in Iran, their hearts morn for their family and communities that remain in Iran. Thousands of Iranians will be marching today in Toronto in solidarity with their brothers and sisters. For over four decades, the people of Iran have lived under a regime that promised hope and delivered repression, corruption, and violence. Like a lion long restrained but never broken, the children of Cyrus the Great are rising once again. This is not simply because of economic collapse but because a people can only be pushed so far before they demand their freedom. The regime answered that cry by shutting down the internet and tearing families apart by mass arrests. Credible reports tell us that tens of thousands have been killed. This is how tyranny survives by silencing truth and ruling through terror. That is why I proudly support petition e-7153, initiated by my constituent, Reza Sadjadi. Canada must stand with Iranians who are risking everything for freedom.

FIFA insist that ONLY Islamic regime flags will be allowed inside stadiums at World Cup 2026. The game against New Zealand next week is in the USA - supposedly the land of the free - where the First Amendment guarantees freedom of expression and speech. No question #TeamMelli is being used as a propaganda tool for the regime. But for Iranian protesters the Lion & Sun flag is more than a symbol: it is a stance against the Islamic Republic. They see it as the real flag of Iran. And FIFA has banned it. There is a war going on. And between the Islamic regime and the people of Iran it’s been raging for 47 years. The presence of an Iran team at the World Cup is a massive opportunity for the people to show the world that millions of Iranians see this regime as worse than the Nazis and they want them gone. No deal. Just kicked into the dustheap of history. There will be thousands gathered outside the stadium before each game sending this precise message and reminding the world what the regime did to their own people in January, and continue to do with daily executions of young innocents. So what happens if Iranians bring the lion & sun flag inside the stadium? They can’t arrest them as it would be an infringement on freedom of speech. After all this is not Qatar when 6 women escorted a woman out of a stadium in 2022 simply for wearing a T-shirt standing for the freedom of women in Iran. Or is it?

There will be thousands gathered outside the stadium before each game sending this precise message and reminding the world what the regime did to their own people in January, and continue to do with daily executions of young innocents. So what happens if Iranians bring the lion & sun flag inside the stadium? They can’t arrest them as it would be an infringement on freedom of speech. After all this is not Qatar when 6 women escorted a woman out of a stadium in 2022 simply for wearing a T-shirt standing for the freedom of women in Iran. Or is it?

One of the most remarkable speeches by Pope Benedict XVI, delivered at the German Bundestag. “Yet I would like to underline a point that seems to me to be neglected, today as in the past: there is also an ecology of man. Man too has a nature that he must respect and that he cannot manipulate at will. Man is not merely self-creating freedom. Man does not create himself. He is intellect and will, but he is also nature, and his will is rightly ordered if he respects his nature, listens to it and accepts himself for who he is, as one who did not create himself. In this way, and in no other, is true human freedom fulfilled.”—Pope Benedict XVI

The angular relationship between two edges of a pentagon is 108 degrees - a geometric property embedded in one of the most fundamental forms in sacred geometry. How long has that knowledge existed? Randall argues the accumulated evidence points in only one direction. Advanced civilizations existed in the deep human past - leaving very little record, but enough. Enough that approached from the right perspective the conclusion becomes difficult to avoid. Graham Hancock has been making that argument for decades and Randall notes the evidence is increasingly vindicating it. Human history is deeper and more complex than the mainstream has ever been willing to accommodate. The primary reason it took this long to recognize is the mirror problem - if an ancient civilization does not look like what we have already built, we do not recognize it as civilization at all. We are searching for our own reflection in the ancient record. That search is being overturned by evidence of a historical depth inseparably linked to repeated cycles of catastrophe that have reset the human story more than once.
