The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest coalition of Palestinian civil society leading the global BDS movement, condemns the criminal and colonial military aggression of the United States against Venezuela, a violation of its sovereignty, the right to self-determination of the Venezuelan people, and international law. We stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan and Caribbean peoples, who for months have been suffering under US harassment through illegal military aggression and war crimes, including extrajudicial killings. This attack on Venezuela is also an attack on all of Latin America and the Caribbean. After witnessing the burial of the international legal system in Gaza, we are now witnessing the “might makes right” era, as Palestinian civil society had forewarned. International leaders, such as Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia, Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa, and Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, warned in July 2025: “The choice is stark: Either we act together to enforce international law or we risk its collapse. We choose to act, not only for the people of Gaza but for the future of a world where justice prevails over impunity.” The US imperialist aggression against peoples of the Global South is nothing new, of course, from

Florida Tech transfer Sara Batchadji has signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Iowa women’s soccer team, head coach Dave DiIanni announced Friday. IOWA CITY, Iowa – Florida Tech transfer Sara Batchadji has signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Iowa women’s soccer team, head coach Dave DiIanni announced Friday. Batchadji led Division II Florida Tech to its first national championship in program history in which she was named the United Soccer Coaches Women’s National Player of the Year at the Division II level in 2025. “Sara brings to us incredible athletic and technical ability,” said DiIanni. “She is calm and composed under pressure and can defend in space when isolated. We welcome her coming off a national championship season where she was rightfully honored as the national player of the year in division two. We look forward to welcoming Sara to our program. It’s a great match, she’s gotten better every season in college, and we develop players as good as anyone in the country.” In her junior campaign, Batchadji played in 26 matches earning 24 starts, totaling 2,120 minutes. She finished the 2025 season with five goals, 15 points, 57 shots, and 27 shots on goal.

Twitter, also called X, the social media network owned and constantly used by the world's richest man as well as virtually every powerful person in the American tech industry, and on which the vast preponderance of national political figures also maintain active accounts, has a sexual harassment and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) problem. This has been true more or less since Elon Musk took it over, but this problem's latest and most repellent efflorescence is the result of one of Musk's signature additions as owner. Grok, the network's embedded AI chatbot, will—or would, as recently as yesterday, and certainly did many, many times—generate graphically sexualized images of real people, including minors and non-consenting third parties, in response to any user's request. Another Twitter feature bearing Elon Musk's fingerprints is that the site filled with the kind of people who, when a photograph of a 14-year-old TV actress appears on their timeline, will ask Grok to generate an image of her without clothes on. As a result, for much of this week Twitter has been rife with AI-generated revenge porn, deepfake celebrity porn, and CSAM. This makes a hideous counterpoint to the national media's recent fascination with the Jeffrey Epstein

Sort By: Oldest First Latest If you missed this game, we're sorry, because this one will surely be talked about for years — especially if Ole Miss can continue its march towards the national championship.  With under a minute to play, tie ball game and no timeouts, Trinidad Chambliss found De'Zhaun Stribling for 40 yards, putting the Rebels in field goal range for Lucas Carneiro to drill the game-winning 47-yarder. Yes, the final score was 39-34 after a safety on the ensuing kickoff, welcomed by a host of referee discussion that elongated an all-but-over ball game.  Nevertheless, this game was electric from start to finish. Georgia led 21-12 at the break, before finding itself down 34-24 with under 10 minutes to play, before tying it up with a minute to play, before a last-second field goal. We had fake punts, deep balls, fumble-sixes, enormous hits, diving catches and so much more as Pete Golding and Ole Miss earned its spot in its first CFP semifinals.  Chambliss had a the performance of a lifetime, throwing for 362 yards and two touchdowns, and honestly that stat line doesn't even do justice to explaining just how amazing he was. The DII transfer was

Popular protests in front of the Atlas bazaar in Mashhad, northeastern Iran, on December 31, 2025 On December 31, 2025, the fourth consecutive day of nationwide unrest in Iran, the confrontation between the public and the clerical regime escalated sharply. What began earlier in the week as a series of strikes by bazaar merchants protesting the collapsing currency and economic mismanagement has morphed into a volatile political uprising. While major commercial hubs in Tehran, Isfahan, and Kermanshah remained shuttered in an unprecedented show of defiance, the southern city of Fasa became a flashpoint for direct conflict, with protesters storming government buildings despite live fire from security forces. Iran Protests Day 4: Strikes and Demonstrations Continue, Protesters Clash with Security Forces Escalation and Defiance in Fasa The most intense clashes of the day occurred in Fasa, Fars province.

Chris Murray Wed, December 31st 2025 at 9:27 AM Nevada basketball beat Colorado State on Tuesday night. Kaleb Lowery shoots a three against the Rams. (Nevada athletics) On weekday mornings, Nevada Sports Net will recap three big headlines of the day in its Morning Download. Read below for today's topics. 1. Nevada men's basketball continues rampage through 'Pac-12' teams Nevada men's basketball continued its rampage through "Pac-12" teams with Tuesday night's 75-62 win at Colorado State. That was the Wolf Pack's third win in its last four games over a current or future Pac-12 teams, each coming by double-figures. Nevada also has downed Washington State (78-64) and Boise State (81-66) during that stretch. The win over Colorado State came despite stars Tayshawn Comer and Elijah Price combining to shoot 2-of-17 from the field. Tyler Rolison stepped up with 21 big points off the bench with Chuck Bailey III (15) and Vaughn Weems (12) both hitting double figures. The Rams entered the game first in the nation in 3-point shooting but went 6-of-23 from beyond the arc and made only 18-of-29 free throws after ranking second in the nation in that category. Nevada moved to 10-3 overall, 2-0 in the MW

On weekday mornings, Nevada Sports Net will recap three big headlines of the day in its Morning Download. Read below for today's topics. 1. Wyoming football's NIL reportedly well below Montana, Montana State In an article about Wyoming's NIL woes, Cowboy State Daily’s David Madison writes "Research shows that Montana and Montana State — schools competing in the Football Championship Subdivision, a tier below Wyoming's Football Bowl Subdivision — are spending about $2.2 million on NIL, while Wyoming hovers around $1.4 million." While skepticism about definitive NIL estimates is valid given those payments are still shrouded in secrecy, Wyoming athletic director Tom Burman confirmed his school's issues with NIL. "We struggled from the time NIL started really in '22 until the end of June this past year," Burman told Madison. "We struggled getting people — Wyoming fans, alumni, donors — to invest in the collective." If the numbers cited above are accurate, Nevada's football NIL would be below FCS powerhouses Montana and Montana State as well, with Wolf Pack head coach Jeff Choate serving as Montana State's head coach from 2016-20. 2. New Mexico loses athletic director to Colorado After 13 months on the job, New Mexico athletic director Fernando
