‘Intersected’. The torturous language to avoid calling corruption, corruption

Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti assaulted by Israeli prison guards, son says Family fears for 66-year-old’s life after assault while he was being transferred between prisons

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

Polanski slammed over bid to legalise drugs

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating CO2 in air hit new high last year, with scientists concerned natural land and ocean carbon sinks are weakening

The longer that the EU and governments take to act, the harder the task becomes – and more people will lose their homes, health, livelihoods and lives

Slow-walking climate action only benefits the short-term profits of polluting companies

Ordinary people, and the natural world, will pay the price

"Everything they do is extremely violent."

Greta Thunberg on Israel:

Beating, kicking, and threats of being gassed in cages. Greta Thunberg and several others from the flotilla are now sharing details about their five days in Israeli captivity - and how Swedish Foreign Ministry staff left them without help. Aftonbladet's investigation shows how the Foreign Ministry downplayed the abuse in its communications. Her red suitcase lies in the hall. "Whore Greta" someone has written in large black letters. Around the text: an Israeli flag and an erect penis. The bag was confiscated by the Israeli military from the boat - and returned to her like this. She laughs. - They're like five-year-olds!

- They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me. Greta laughs. - Then they ripped off my frog hat, threw it on the ground, stomped and kicked it, and kind of threw a tantrum. - They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. 'A special place for a special lady', they said. And then they had learned 'Lilla hora' (Little whore) and 'Hora Greta' (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.

Greta Thunberg was beaten and tortured by the Israelis. They learned how to call her a whore in Swedish, and forced her to wear the Israeli flag.

The Swedish foreign ministry abandoned its citizens in Israel, and downplayed what they went through.

On the off chance that members of parliament still give a flying fuck about climate science and their international climate pledges.

This should be an open and shut case to reject the application.

Pro-Palestine activist couple have UK bank account closed without explanation John Nicholson and Norma Turner’s joint retirement savings account was shut by Yorkshire Building Society

No doubt this de-banking will also be splashed across the front pages of every single newspaper in the country and lead BBC bulletins for weeks on end too? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I hope this past year destroys the myth that UK politics is inherently less rightwing than US politics, that somehow we are more sober and reasonable over here.

"The case is proceeding."

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US-backed agreement to end Israel's war on Gaza will have no bearing on his country’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Cryptocurrency: lawlessness disguised as liberty Cryptocurrency is sold as radical innovation and financial liberation. In reality, it’s an old familiar story: fraud

The Reform Party now takes cryptocurrency donations. Ireland banned them. The UK welcomes them. And Farage calls it freedom. It’s not. It’s money without accountability – and that’s a threat to democracy, argues Prof Richard Murphy.

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t. Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.
