We do not beg for your permission.
Your wars and your lies will not break us.
The Strait is our water. Our strength. Our right.
You bring aggression. We bring resistance.
Try us again and see what you lose.

Iran Says ‘Non-Hostile’ Ships Can Sail Through the Strait of Hormuz

Ships with no ties to Israel or the United States would be allowed to pass, the government said, but it was unclear if any vessels would try.

I refuse to support projects that enable bullying and harassment online. It's crucial to hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their status. Together, we can create a safer digital environment for everyone.

#Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva harshly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump following the implementation of a 50% #tariff on #Brazilian exports. #Lula called #Trump “authoritarian” with “anti-civilizational” behavior and accused him of creating “problems where there were none.”

“A president must not humiliate himself before another president. I respect everyone and demand respect in return,” Lula told Reuters, rejecting the idea of a phone call with Trump. “He doesn’t want to talk, and I have no intention of doing so.”

From 'America First' to 'Greenland Next'? Trump's imperial ambitions are a cold reminder of outdated colonialism. Europe must stand firm. #NoToBullying #GreenlandIsNotForSale https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/30/greenland-europe-donald-trump-us-threats
Europe needs to stand up for Greenland. It is failing

There are rational explanations for the continent’s muted response to Donald Trump’s threats – but that’s not how you deal with this president, says Guardian Europe columnist Nathalie Tocci

The Guardian

A #Filipina teen was recently mocked for calling #CharlesAndKeith a #luxury brand. She handled her online bullies well, and it got her, and her father, a meal with the brand's founders and a tour of their HQ.

Charles & Keith is a Singaporean brand that the #LouisVuitton luxury group used to have a 20% stake (it was since bought back). (Aside: LVMH owns a lot of luxury brands like Christian #Dior, #Loewe, #Tiffany & Co., and #TAGHeuer, to mention a few.) If the LVMH luxury group bought shares of Charles & Keith before, it should be enough proof, in my view, that C&K is a luxury brand, too.

Either way, whichever side of the fence one subscribe to, we should not bully other people for calling a brand a “luxury”, or for any reason, just because it does not fit our own standards. By the word's definition, it means simply as “expensive”, or “great expense”. To this #Filipino teenager, and for anyone in fact, Charles & Keith is a luxury.

In the end, the bullies were the ones who were #LeftBehind and this young lady was “rewarded” for her honesty, and for not being afraid to share her situation and history.
