Jasmine El-Gamal states, quite correctly, that Maduro and his wife were abducted.

The presenter queries that choice of words

Gamal replies: "They went into their.. bedroom in the middle of the night & snatched them away. If that's not a kidnapping, I don't know what is"

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

#WolffBites: Mexico's minimum wage rose 13% on 1 January 2026. Taking into account inflation, the real Mexican wage was tripled over the last 8 years. Mexico's ruling class opposed the increases as bad for Mexico. They were 100% wrong.

Yet more evidence that improving the lot of those at the very bottom of the income ladder does not necessarily produce unemployment or runaway inflation.

Sir Mark Rowley, your primary concern is not public safety but protecting the interests of the British establishment. And it has decreed that no opposition to Israel’s genocide will be tolerated.

Since October 7, the Israeli army has generated kill lists using AI, monitored the social-media accounts of Palestinians, and stored the audio of their phone calls. @mohamhawish.bsky.social reports on how technology has reshaped the daily lives of Gazans.

Important not to let leaders like Albanese and Starmer blind us to the fact that it's not just a couple of Islamic State-affiliated gunmen "driven by extremist ideology".

It's also a western political and media class that have been readily colluding in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

I think we can all agree it's critically important for the future of our species to stop a psychotic, genocidal cult state from having nuclear weapons.

Shocking an Israeli hospital has been hit.

But hang on a minute. Were Israeli soldiers being treated there, or police officers, or government officials?

That should be fine then. Wasn't it Israel that created the precedent hospitals are legitimate targets for attack?
