My lunchtime meditation on 1 Kings 5:3 “You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until Yahweh put his enemies under the soles of his feet.”

US funding for global internet freedom ‘effectively gutted’
Programme that funds groups building tech to evade oppressive government controls under serious threat
Without tools to dodge censorship, regimes in 🇨🇳 🇮🇷 🇷🇺 etc. can more easily silence dissent and trap citizens behind digital iron curtains. Democracy just got harder to defend. I hope the EU steps up to the plate.

Political scientist Adriana Hest on Spain’s migrant regularisation:
"Does it bother you that people who live and work here have rights and aren’t considered second-class?" — "Wow! Maybe you’re a little racist." Good news for everyone except exploiters and racists.

Hophni and Phinehas slept with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

US bombs target ISIL in Nigeria: What’s really going on?
Trump says strikes are related to 'Christian genocide' but attacks on Christian farmers happened in different area.
Trump oversimplifies Nigeria’s violence as “Christian genocide,” but Al Jazeera downplays religion’s role. The truth: a messy mix of ideology, identity, politics, and state failure.

Ramkarpal laments lack of political will to abolish Sedition Act
This follows a sedition probe against activist-artist Fahmi Reza.
The Sedition Act remains a blunt instrument of oppression — Pakatan Harapan promised reform in 2018 and 2022, yet nine years later, it’s still used to silence critics like Fahmi Reza.

COMMENT | Different education systems really a threat to unity?
Once politics enters the chat, the UEC almost becomes like a loyalty test.
UEC recognition flares again: DAP pushes it after Sabah losses, Umno warns of constitutional and language issues.
For students it’s mostly symbolic—UEC holders already enter private unis; only public subsidies matter; IGCSE excluded.
Politics: base-playing while corruption and failures go ignored.

Lawyers tell Malacca police to focus on alleged killer cops, not dress code
They criticise state police chief for not expressing same concern for alleged misconduct.
Families say evidence shows the three men were killed by cops under the Malacca chief. He should focus on the accused officers, not policing complainants’ clothing.

Why investigate Koh's abduction again, pastor's wife asks Gobind
Liew meets with minister, urges govt to instead act on the identified perpetrators.
Why another probe? After 8 years, Susanna Liew wants what the High Court, Suhakam & the task force already confirmed: state agents took Pastor Raymond Koh. Show the truth. Prosecute the police involved. Stop delaying justice. #RaymondKoh #EnforcedDisappearance

DAP MPs renew call to reform 'draconian' Sosma
Critics demand swift action on concerns linked to prolonged detention powers.
“This is a clear-cut case of abuse… The purpose of using Sosma is to detain without trial, because they are not entitled to apply for bail.”
