Public libraries are not charity projects needing annual survival battles. Zohran Mamdani’s budget locks in $31.7 million in permanent funding across NYC’s three library systems, treating knowledge, literacy, and public space as essential democratic infrastructure.

At a Washington County school board meeting, student Hannah Campbell condemned members for failing to act after sexist remarks by board member Keith Ervin. Her speech on accountability, public duty, and protecting students is now drawing national attention.

A Palestinian child was killed while carrying water after waiting hours in line—highlighting the severe humanitarian toll of the Gaza crisis, where civilians, including children, continue to face extreme risk amid ongoing military operations and collapsing access to basic needs.

Iran’s outreach to Oman, Qatar, and Turkey signals a familiar but important reality of Middle East diplomacy: regional stability depends less on public rhetoric & more on continuous backchannel communication, de-escalation efforts, & preventing local conflicts from spiraling into wider regional wars

During a Senate hearing, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended ICE and rejected claims that the agency is acting unconstitutionally, saying officers are enforcing laws passed by Congress. The exchange came amid ongoing scrutiny of ICE operations and use-of-force incidents.

This election is bigger than one seat. It is about stopping Trump’s drift toward authoritarian power and protecting democracy itself. Every supporter must help neighbours, seniors, and busy parents reach the booth. Democracies survive only when citizens show up and vote.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth joined Marines and Sailors aboard the USS Boxer in Singapore for an early morning training session during his Shangri-La Dialogue visit. Hegseth also met Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing to discuss bilateral defence cooperation.

Finland’s President Alexander Stubb says there will be no return to “normal relations” with Russia after Ukraine. Finland abandoned decades of military nonalignment and joined NATO in 2023, arguing Russia’s invasion permanently changed Europe’s security landscape.

Hungary’s people proved a rigged map cannot defeat public will forever. When leaders redraw districts, silence minorities, and dilute votes, they expose fear, not strength. Democracy survives when citizens refuse to surrender their voice, their solidarity, and their courage.

This terror stems from Zionist lobby propaganda. Constantly demonizing Muslims brainwashes youth into committing horrific hate crimes.

The BBC still furiously peddling the fiction that Trump "railroaded" Netanyahu into a peace deal. No, the US could have secured a deal any time over the past two years by ending the shipments of bombs. Washington *chose* to keep the genocide going till Gaza was levelled.

Scrolling is the new smoking. I hear it from parents, teachers, and from children themselves. Big tech companies have created addictive algorithms that monetises attention. We did not expect parents to take on the smoking industry alone, so we cannot abandon them on social media safety either.

NDAA section 224 would fuse the U.S. and Israeli military-industrial systems together: weapons, AI, cyberwarfare, biotech, surveillance, intelligence. Once locked in, disentangling becomes nearly impossible—a one-way ratchet toward permanent foreign entanglement and shared wars.
