As Israel Bombed Gaza, Amazon Did Business With Its Bomb-Makers The Intercept has learned that Amazon sold cloud services to Israeli weapons firms at the height of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

@sambiddle.com's reporting found that Amazon has consistently provided software to both Rafael and IAI in 2024 and 2025 — periods during which Israel’s military was using their products to indiscriminately kill civilians and destroy civil infrastructure.

Anthony Kennedy Is Trying To Find The Guy Who Did This The retired Supreme Court Justice who authored Citizens United is suddenly worried about the future of democracy.

Anthony Kennedy Is Trying To Find The Guy Who Did This www.levernews.com/anthony-kenn... 🫣How embarrassing

Not to mention that international arrest warrants seem to mean nothing these days. Once again, Western world leaders are actively undermining the global rules-based order that they accuse countries like China and russia of dismantling (not to say that they are not, they are).

I find the statement of European leaders pretty irresponsible. In the name of endless negotiations and appeasing trump, I fear they are both prolonging the war (Ukraine needs arms & logistical support) and feeding into a strategy (appeasement and negotiation with russia), that we know doesn't work

I expected nothing different, yet I’m still infuriated and disgusted. The nightmare continues, human rights violations and all…

Text says "the EU’s latest idea is to deport people to countries they have zero connection to." Around the text are faded and noisy images. One is of a table full of conversing people who appear to be light-skinned and wearing formal attire. A lightbulb floats above them.

Black text on a paper background says "EU member states are talking about changing the “safe third country” rules so they can deport more people—even if it means undermining safeguards. And the Council agrees. This is despite the fact that some of the countries considered “safe” include Tunisia, Egypt, and Morocco—places with ‘well-documented rights abuses and limited protections for both their own citizens and migrants’ according to EuroMedRights."

faded and noisy green scissors are about to cut a ribbon, above text that says "this change would mean reducing or deleting the current "connection criteria" which limits where states deport people to. Apparently, member states consider the problem of where to send people to be the biggest administrative hurdle to deporting them. They do not, however, seem to see it as a moral issue, as many others might. "

Text states "13 member states want to delete the 'connection criteria' altogether. A map of Europe indicates the countries that want to delete it, with their borders filled in with green, contrasting the lighter shade of others. This includes: Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia.

🚨🚨 Yesterday's major #EUpolitics news was @ec.europa.eu's proposal to suspend parts of the EU-Israel Association agreement over Israel's actions in #gaza. It needs to be confirmed by MS but still a very strong signal (as Israel is heavily dependent on EU trade). 🧵
