DA support is not increasing massively, as claimed
There is no dispute that the ANC's election performance in 2026 was terrible.
But the attempt by the DA and some media to create the impression that the DA has made massive inroads in 2026 is not supported by the evidence.
While it has made some gains, the reality is far from the claimed blue tsunami:
- The DA is an 8.8% party representing a declining share of the population, dropping by over 3 percentage points: in 2026 it won votes from 8.8% of the total adult population, compared to 12.1% of the total adult population in 2016.
- The DA's proportion of the vote declined nearly 3 percentage points from 27.39% of the national vote in the 2016 local government elections, to only 24.59% in the 2026 elections.
- Despite claims of a massive increase in black voter support, the increase in DA support is at best modest, with election experts estimating total support by black voters for the DA in 2026 is still only a feeble 8% of total black votes.
So, read the pro-DA political propaganda with extreme caution!

BREAKING: The United Nations has adopted a new global pandemic preparedness declaration in a 153–3 vote, per UN News.
The only countries to vote against it: the United States, Israel and Argentina.

imagine being so universally reviled that you have to manipulate textbooks, churn out Hollywood productions to brainwash the masses, buy up the airwaves and social media platforms, and alter algorithms to limit the proliferation of the truth and put up smoke screens where you can't stop information.
Then, you weaponize antisemitism to silence decent people, you push to pass laws that punish criticism of you, and you install AI audio surveillance in the tent classrooms of children whose lives you've destroyed in order to prevent your victims from speaking ill of you.
You can have more money than God, space lasers and nukes, booby trapped pagers, and endless blackmail material on leaders, but you can't buy humanity. You can't make the world love you, or even tolerate you. You can't make people unsee or unknow. You can't make demons likable.
The world sees you at last, understands how wicked you've always been, and hates you immeasurably. That isn't going away, and you will feel the sting of that hatred more and more.
I hope it hurts.

Gaza has faced intensified airstrikes over the past 24 hours. I’ve just checked the BBC, Sky News and Guardian websites. Not a single mention.
This is how genocide is normalised.

They have literally gone insane. Gaza is under repeated strikes right now.
Aircraft are flying extremely low, and their sounds are terrifying. People are fleeing their homes after the warnings. The situation is horrifying, and no one knows what will happen next.
Do not stop talking about Gaza. Do not let the world forget the terror we live through every day.

An entire editorial board attacking the Nobel Peace Prize for investigating a war of annihilation and calling it what it is.

The #NobelPeacePrize for 2026 goes to a person who with exceptional courage and integrity has led the way towards a more comprehensive global legal order. This year’s laureate Navi Pillay has been instrumental in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted.

"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?"

If you're wondering since it's not provided, she was part of the UN jurists who concluded that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. She was also part of the International Criminal Tribunal that prosecuted Rwandans responsible for the genocide. She is also South African.

the most recent reporting by the Lancet put it at over 500,000 deaths - the people parroting the 70k number are engaging in active genocide denial propaganda.

I hope New Yorkers haunt him with insults wherever he goes. Politicians need to learn they cant just use Palestine’s popularity to launch their careers then switch teams as soon as they take power without people atleast caring. It keeps happening and people do nothing about it.

RIGHT NOW: Zohran Mamdani stands on the Israeli side of an October 7 vigil while Palestinian organizers and supporters of Palestinian liberation directly protest him.
Another politician at the vigil is Brad Lander, who increased NYC pension holdings in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, as their weapons were used to annihilate Palestinians at the height of the Gaza genocide.
Meanwhile, students across NYC are walking out of classrooms demanding an end to the city’s complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.
Mamdani campaigned on solidarity with Palestine. Now the movement is confronting him over the gap between that solidarity and his political decisions. This is not a hypothetical contradiction or a disagreement over rhetoric. It is a confrontation over where political power is being exercised, whose demands are being accommodated, and whose are being dismissed.
Solidarity is measured by what you do with power, not what you say to obtain it.

We’re not going to let you normalize liberal Zionism just because you have a weird parasocial relationship with a politician.

This morning, sunlight found its way through the fabric of our shelter and somehow looked like home. 🤍 Sometimes, even nature seems to remind us that Palestine is still here, still alive, and forever close to our hearts. 🇵🇸

sorry for this reality check but as a kid i learned sunset colors are affected by increased greenhouse gas levels, which makes the light appear that way
it’s morbidly poetic that the light of our dying planet reaches our retinas and registers as beauty in our brains
