The resolution, backed by groups such as Children's Health Defense and Brownstone Institute, calls the 2020-2023 pandemic response the longest suspension of U.S. civil liberties in history. It pushes for declarations of public health emergencies to last no more than 30 days without legislative approval and protections for bodily autonomy and free speech. By late afternoon on launch day, over 10,500 people had signed at covidjustice.org, with supporters like Jeffrey A.

Groups of Argentine teenagers identify as therians, feeling a deep mental or spiritual connection to animals like dogs or seals, and gather weekly in parks for playful meetups. Unlike furries with costumes at conventions, therians like 15-year-old Aguara, who counts her age in dog years, see it as core to their identity amid over 2 million TikTok posts. Psychologist Débora Pedace calls it usually harmless symbolic play, though critics online dismiss it harshly while supporters celebrate the sense of belonging.

Punto Clave

Resumen Completo

The Bank of Botswana launched the commemorative note last year for its 50th anniversary, featuring 22-year-old Tebogo's 200m gold from the 2024 Paris Olympics and the relay team's silver—Botswana's first Olympic medals. That inspired South Africans to call for a limited R100 note honoring DJ Black Coffee, the Grammy-winning house music star who's elevated the nation's sound globally through Coachella sets and philanthropy. While supporters praise his cultural impact, critics argue athletes like Springboks captain Siya Kolisi better represent national glory on currency currently featuring Nelson Mandela.

Botswana put Olympic gold medalist Letsile Tebogo's face on its 50 Pula note, turning everyday cash into a daily dose of national pride for kids and fans alike.

Resumen Completo

South Africa's Special Investigating Unit revealed on February 23, 2026, how four officials earning under R25,000 monthly amassed R16.3 million from over 2,000 fraudulent visas and permits, part of a R181 million corruption web. They approved applications without checks for bribes of R500 to R3,000, hiding funds via spouses' accounts, ghost SIM e-wallets, and small cash deposits that evaded bank flags. High-profile cases included fake permits for Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and Pastor Timothy Omotoso; Home Affairs has fired 20 staff and aims to revoke thousands of documents while pursuing recoveries.

Home Affairs announced plans in October 2024 to revoke their IDs and travel rights after they missed a deadline to respond; the case went to the Hawks for fraud probe, with Rungo briefly detained in 2025. The ongoing saga highlights immigration frustrations and the lasting harm of identity theft.

Resumen Completo

A widely shared post claimed President Boko said Botswana is tired of foreign deals on its minerals and demanded buyers come home, rejecting a Trump invitation. No official statements, posts from Boko's account, or news reports confirm the invite or quote, which appears fabricated with editing artifacts. The story tapped into real frustrations over Botswana's diamond trade amid slumping sales and U.S. tariffs, earning praise for Boko's image as an assertive leader after his 2024 election win. Skeptics quickly pointed out the hoax, stressing Africa needs facts as much as strong leadership.

Punto Clave

A striking image of Botswana's President Duma Gideon Boko holding a massive diamond next to Donald Trump fueled hopes of bold resource sovereignty. But the quote refusing a White House invite never happened.
