The first person in Bahrain to be confirmed to die was a migrant worker from the debris of an intercepted missile

As much as I dislike AI, AI is not ultimately responsible here.

The PEOPLE who fired the missile, ordered the strike & started the war are, up to & including Trump.

Like I said Ukraine can target with very high a degree of precision so why not the US?

PEOPLE need to be held accountable, not AI.

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

Gaza City officially in famine, says global hunger monitor Gaza City and surrounding areas are officially suffering from famine, and it will likely spread, a global hunger monitor determined on Friday, an assessment that will escalate pressure on Israel to allow more aid into the Palestinian enclave.

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread.

The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.

I am updating my list of Palestine fundraisers, with direct links in case bluesky vindictively deletes their accounts. Feel free to reply with accounts you know of that I should add.

Just quoting this to pin it because I forgot to put the explanation in the first post of the thread.

Thinking about how the people who call Israel “the last vestige of European colonialism” need to take a look at some of the many other vestiges of European colonialism. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So Israel lied. Again. For like the billionth time.

That’s all they do. Lie. That’s the extent of their statecraft. Just lying.

Lying and murdering people either by dropping bombs on them, starving them, or shooting them when they try to get food.

This is getting close to 150K signatures now. It might not do anything, but it will serve as evidence for the future that the UK government were aware of the opposition of its own people to its complicity in the Israeli genocide on Gaza & the fact that it did nothing to stop it.

"Flemish universities are forging links with the military industry. The consequences are morally painful, write eight academics, but also fundamentally undermining the social mission of higher education."

Caster Semenya calls for athletes’ rights to be put first as court rules in her favour ECHR rules South African runner did not have fair trial on need to lower testosterone levels to compete in women’s sport The South African runner Caster Semenya has called for athletes’ rights to be better protected after Europe’s top human rights court ruled that she had not been given a fair trial when she contested a policy that required her to lower her testosterone levels in order to compete in women’s sport. The decision, handed down on Thursday by the European court of human rights, was the latest twist in the two-time Olympic gold medallist’s extraordinary legal battle. Continue reading...

‘Not for you’: Israeli shelters exclude Palestinians as bombs rain down Shelters are a lifeline in Israel from Iranian attacks, but Palestinian citizens of the country have been locked out.

worth reading this in full. while it does offer examples of individuals excluding/being excluded from shelters which are horrific on their own, it also looks at the structural differences in access to shelter between the jewish and palestinian citizens of israel.

Aren’t you meant to be “journalists”, not mouthpieces for a genocidal state?

Why is there always money for war, but never for the poor?

I know which side I’m on.

Really looking forward to hosting you all in Antwerp for critically needed exchanges on colonial peace & connected activist responses later this week!

Registration deadline is today. Participation is extended to remote online participation now!

Te Pāti Māori MPs to be temporarily suspended from Parliament over haka MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke faces a seven-day suspension for her actions.

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways.
