On #ThisDayInHistory in 1964, #NelsonMandela was sentenced to life in prison for defying #SouthAfrican #Apartheid. This event was welcomed in the United States, which kept #Mandela on its #terrorist #WatchList until 2008. Never forget apartheid was supported by the US government.

🚨 THE BURDEN OF THE ‘CHOSEN’, THE GREAT ESCAPE EXPLAINED

Humanity seems to have failed to understand that the essence of God's interventions and commandments is not about enforcing absolute uniformity or a single interpretation, but rather about recognizing the limits of human pride and the importance of humility before the divine.

Your Daily BAWK™ 🐔 Nelson Mandela walked out of prison preaching reconciliation over revenge. Some folks can’t even log off without a grudge. Choose courage. Do the work. Carry on. #BAWK #Mandela #LongWalkForward #resist
#MargaretThatcher was never shy about showing what a scumbag she was. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1984 she welcomed #PWBotha, leader of #SouthAfrica, thereby endorsing his régime. #Mandela was not discussed, #apartheid barely mentioned, & she praised him for maintaining "stability".

So, the departure of Donald Pols from Milieudefensie to Tata Steel is turning out to be a 'dodged a bullet' kind of situation.

Pols was fired from Tata after a single day, because he was the leader of the ASF in South-Africa during his student years.

The ASF was a far-right organization fighting for apartheid. Pols was literally trying to prevent Melson Mandela from speaking in public.

That's pretty close to stereotypically evil. Fuck that dude.

What was particularly moving about this episode was one sister going out of her way to help another sister :)

[A sister just returned from visiting South Africa. She'd been to Robben Island where Madiba was imprisoned. So I was wondering earlier whether she knew about Steve Biko, the godfather of Black Consciousness and then this episode delivered the example of Black Consciousness above to me.]

Vergiss Plan B für mehr Vertrauen + Commitment + Wirkung

Wer eine Hintertür baut,geht früher oder später durch. Wer meint, einen Plan B zu brauchen, investiert messbar weniger Energie in Plan A. In meiner Erfahrung erzeugt "keinen Plan B zu haben" deutlich mehr Vertrauen – im Team, der Community und vor Allem im Netzwerk, wo es um Authentizität und Glaubwürdigkeit geht. Das ist auch messbar in der Forschung. PlanB ist die Hintertüre, die Vertrauen und Kommitment störterstellt mit KI Es gibt natürlich einen Unterschied zwischen einem […]

Corruption in politics doesn’t just waste public money through embezzlement or bribery, it erodes respect and public trust in leaders. When officials lack empathy and accountability, institutions weaken, public services decline and the economy can suffer, studies link corruption to slower growth and greater inequality. Remembering Nelson Mandela reminds us that unity, transparency and honesty are essential to keep a country strong. #Integrity #Leadership #Mandela #AntiCorruption

THIS is how you put a right wing american back in his box. 19 words. Madiba was always economical with his words and this is a prime example of that and the whole "less is more" thing.

Adnkronos - ultimoratop: Iran, Pahlavi: "Serve supporto esterno per abbattere regime, come per Mandela"

(Adnkronos) - “Voglio fare un appello a tutti i governi, compreso quello italiano: fate sentire la vostra voce affinché gli arresti e le esecuzioni si fermino. Mentre tutti attendono l'esito dei negoziati, in Iran non c'è stato un cessate il fuoco da parte del regime rispetto al popolo iraniano. Siamo disposti a sacrificare la nostra vita per liberarci ma è importante capire che storicamente nel mondo i regimi sono stati abbattuti grazie al supporto esterno. È accaduto con Nelson Mandela e con Solidarnosc ad esempio. Gli iraniani meritano lo stesso sostegno. C’è inoltre una comunanza di interessi con il presidente Zelensky e con l’Ucraina, loro lottano contro un occupante straniero, noi contro un occupante interno”. Lo ha dichiarato il principe Reza Ciro Pahlavi, figlio dello scià deposto dalla rivoluzione del 1979, durante un incontro organizzato presso il Centro studi americani di Roma, in occasione della sua visita in Italia.

Iran, Pahlavi: "We need external support to overthrow the regime, like for Mandela."

(Adnkronos) - “I want to issue a plea to all governments, including the Italian one: make your voices heard so that arrests and executions stop. While everyone is awaiting the outcome of negotiations, there has been no ceasefire from the regime in Iran regarding the Iranian people. We are willing to sacrifice our lives to be free, but it is important to understand that historically, regimes in the world have been overthrown thanks to external support. This happened with Nelson Mandela and with Solidarnosc for example. The Iranians deserve the same support. There is also a common interest with President Zelensky and Ukraine, they are fighting against a foreign occupier, we are fighting against an internal occupier.” This was stated by Prince Reza Cyrus Pahlavi, son of the Shah deposed by the 1979 revolution, during a meeting organized at the American Studies Center in Rome, on the occasion of his visit to Italy.
