Who’s behind the Centre for Migration Control? This so-called β€œresearch organisation” has been cited in The Sun, The Telegraph, The Times and Express - but it appears to be run by one man with a Brexit campaign past, publishing opaque and selective data and wild claims about migrants.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed lives with his wife and son in Turkey, his extended family is in Gaza including his elderly mother and his wife’s family many of whom have health conditions . He is chronically ill and is trying to support everyone.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:

one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable

that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Lubna. Lubna is an accountant and the mother of three sons, Mohammed, 11, Hassan, 8 and baby Yazan, 2 who has been sick. Her husband, Ahmed, a sports trainer, was injured and then captured while they were trying to flee Rafah last month.

The dregs of the West's commentariat, media, and political classes are finally changing their tunes about the psychopathic collective that is Israel. But never forget and never forgive; their words and actions have supported Israel's genocide from the beginning

What is going on, is that Israel is killing the journalists with targeted hits. There are less journalists sharing information about Gaza. Many because they are dead. Meanwhile, social media companies like Bluesky, are suppressing the information coming from regular people.
