A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

You can find all of the pieces in our "A Day for Gaza" package here.

We're doing this to reaffirm our commitment to cover Gaza and to let its people tell their own stories. And we urge our media colleagues to make the same commitment. This story is not over.

Even just watching this video is a much needed reminder that there are people out there who are prepared to stand up.

This is on the list of things I need to talk to my GP about. Physical fatigue has definitely improved over the past year, but the brain fog just won't shift 🤨

Zack Polanski stood outside Palantir HQ to demand that the spy-tech firm - which has supported deadly ICE raids and enabled genocide in Gaza - gets out of our NHS

Also, mobility aids are a lot easier to get hold of these days. I'd have liked a scooter in my teens, twenties but they were eye wateringly expensive. Thanks to ebay etc it's all a lot more affordable these days.

Wow, I wish I'd learned this as young as 24. Still, better late than never 🤪 And yes, rollators are fab. ❤️

At the crucial moment of diplomatic tension, Farage sided with Trump against the UK

On the same day, he was found to have broken parliamentary rules around declaring his external interests

A crook and a quisling

This whole thread is great about Minnesota vs ICE

Are you filled with righteous anger about Donald Trump's fascism in the States? Good, but not enough. Now, make it your personal responsibility to ensure Nigel Farage never gets to introduce it here.

I want the world to listen.

What russia is doing now by attacking Ukraine’s energy and heating infrastructure in the middle of winter is an attempt to break us, to make us give up and to erase us as a nation.

But no.
We stand.
It’s cold. It’s dark.
We are not heroes.
We stand.

Cover page of UK Government document titled "Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security: A national security assessment." Features the HM Government crest and an abstract design of overlapping coloured circles in pink, orange, green, blue and muted tones. Marked "UK OFFICIAL".

The UK Government just released its national security assessment on #biodiversity loss: an actual intelligence assessment using the same frameworks as military threat analysis. The conclusion? #Nature is a foundation of national security and every critical #ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse. 🧵

Every word of this is spot on. Well said, Ed Davey 👏🏻

Yes a lot in global politics feels dark - but that doesn’t mean we should shut our eyes to the sparks of light. 

Today, 17 January, a new Global Ocean Treaty enters into force. A generation of campaigners, scientists and diplomats across the world have plugged away over 20 years to make it happen

‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activit...

Palantir, which Wes Streeting is giving your health care records to, and which Labour has given a contract for military analytics to, is working with ICE in the United States to work out who to raid. www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

Love this, but am mildly concerned by the frequency of the use of raptor 😱 😆

It is so strange that crime doesn’t occur where people don’t live.

A person types on a laptop, overlaid with an emails and a network graphic. Text reads "2000 emails sent. Wes Streeting must act!" and "It takes less than a minute, send a letter today to demand an end to corridor care"

2,000 emails sent. The message is clear: Streeting must act to end corridor care NOW.

This is a crisis happening year-round across the NHS.

Add your voice + send a letter today. It takes less than a min!

World’s richest 1% have already used fair share of emissions for 2026, says Oxfam Richest 1% took 10 days while wealthiest 0.1% needed just three days to exhaust annual carbon budget, study shows
