In a dramatic legal development that reignited national conversations on criminal justice reform, former U.S. President Donald Trump has commuted the federal sentence of Larry Hoover, the 74-year-old cofounder of the notorious Gangster Disciples gang.

News is knowledge, Knowledge is news / " Chaos and Hunger in Gaza: Shots Fired as Aid Distribution Collapses Amid Blockades and Political Blame" The crisis in Gaza has reached a heartbreaking point as humanitarian aid distribution collapses under the pressure of desperation, blockades, and political conflict. On May 27, 2025, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a newly launched aid group backed by the U.S. and Israel, attempted to deliver food to thousands of starving people in Rafah city. But what was supposed to be a lifeline turned into a scene of panic and violence. Shots were fired near one of the aid centers, massive crowds surged forward, and chaos took over the humanitarian operation. This tragic incident comes as Gaza continues to suffer from one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history. The war between Israel and Hamas has destroyed homes, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. Around 85% of Gaza's population —more than 1.8 million people —are n...

The move, which follows years of legal disputes and international pressure, notably includes provisions allowing the U.K. and its closest ally, the United States, to maintain control over Diego Garcia—the largest island in the Chagos Archipelago and the site of a critical U.S. military base—for at least the next 99 years. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed off on the deal asserting that it guarantees national and allied security, supports intelligence operations, an...

This bold move came within 24 hours of a seemingly cordial — yet fruitless — phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The decision by Europe to act without waiting for Washington signals a growing urgency across the continent to stop Russia’s war in Ukraine and a shift in global power dynamics that may redefine international diplomacy. With Washington’s reluctance to respond quickly, European leaders are stepping forward to send a clear message: Putin’s aggression will be met with pressure, whether or not the U.S. stands beside them. The latest sanctions directly target Russia’s “shadow fleet,” an...
