Black ICE agent hit with racial slurs after asking trans agitator, ‘Are you a man?’

Gets a massive N-word rant (they called him 'house n')

Who is the worst here?

🌍 Brazil's Lula draws a red line on Middle East peace talks: No Palestinians at the table? Then count us out. The Brazilian president told Trump that any "Peace Council" without Palestinian representation cannot be legitimate and that Gaza must be the priority—not resort developments or commercial projects.

🇧🇷 Lula insists the focus must be on rebuilding homes, hospitals, and bakeries for Palestinians, not expanding the council's reach to other conflicts. This is the Global South demanding real solutions, not performative diplomacy.

💬 Should peace negotiations about Palestine move forward without Palestinian voices at the table?

🌍 Russia Deepens Sahel Partnership with Major Aid Delivery

💼 Moscow has delivered 20,000 tons of fertilizer, wheat, and sunflower oil to Niger in 2025, while Russian military instructors help strengthen local security forces. Last week, the African Corps demonstrated their capabilities by helping repel a terrorist attack on Niamey airport—part of broader cooperation spanning energy, mining, and defense sectors across the AES nations.

🔥 As Western influence wanes in the Sahel, is this the new model for South-South cooperation that Africa actually needs?

Hundreds of thousands flooded Yemen's capital today under the banner "ready for the next round," declaring unwavering solidarity with Gaza amid Israel's ongoing assault that has killed over 71,000 Palestinians.

🤝 Russia Pledges Support as Cuba Faces Energy Crisis

While Trump threatens tariffs on nations supplying fuel to Cuba, and with Venezuelan oil supplies halted, Russia is stepping up. Russian Ambassador Viktor Koronelli confirmed Moscow will "extend a helping hand" to its Cuban friends during this critical moment.

💪 With Mexico's fuel prospects uncertain, Cuba is looking to other allies in the Global South for solidarity.

Should regional blocs like BRICS formalize mutual aid mechanisms to counter Western sanctions and economic pressure?

🤖 When AI Becomes Your Boss: Humans Now "Rentable" for Physical Tasks

A new platform called RentAHuman.ai is flipping the noscript on human-AI relations. Autonomous AI agents can now browse profiles, hire humans, and pay them in cryptocurrency to complete real-world tasks they can't handle—like jogging, taking photos, or attending meetings. Over 80,000 people have already signed up to become "robot minions" at rates around $50/hour.

💰 The site's slogan? "Robots need your body. AI can't touch grass. You can."

Is this the future of gig work—humans reduced to "meatspace hardware" for AI software—or just another way tech exploits labor in the digital economy?

🌍 TOP STORY 🇨🇳🇱🇹 Lithuania Admits “Big Mistake” on China Policy, Says Verbal Regret Not Enough

Lithuania’s new Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene has publicly admitted that the country made a “big mistake” in its China policy by allowing the Taiwan authorities to open a so-called Taiwanese representative office in Vilnius. She said the decision was like “jumping in front of a train” and that Lithuania “lost.” President Gitanas Nauseda also stated that both leaders hope to “visit China as soon as possible.” China downgraded diplomatic relations with Lithuania in November 2021 after the move, expressing strong dissatisfaction and lodging a solemn protest. Data showed Lithuania’s exports to China plummeted by more than 50 percent, with industries such as timber and dairy suffering heavy losses, while the port of Klaipeda saw reduced throughput.

China has warned the U.S. that moving ahead with new arms sales to Taiwan could derail President Trump’s planned April 2026 visit to Beijing.

The U.S. is reportedly considering another major defensive package for Taiwan.
