Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

"if killing 23 civilians at an aid distribution site isn't terrorism how can we possibly be expected to accept that spraypainting a plane is?"

What did you do during the genocide in Gaza? | Arwa Mahdawi When future generations read about Gaza with horror and wonder how we allowed a livestreamed genocide to happen, what will you say?

The turning point that wasn't: the way the world talks about Israel's war has changed. Nothing else has | Nesrine Malik An air of complicity has prompted new rhetoric from UK and EU leaders. But it won’t redeem them – or change history’s course, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

In Ukraine, I saw Trump’s ‘peace deal’ wouldn’t just trade away land – but lives, memories and homes | Timothy Garton Ash Ukrainians I met in Kyiv and Lviv were grimly realistic about the end of the war. We should follow their example, says Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash

Putin showed off his home church. This is probably the place where he prays before launching missiles at playgrounds and hospitals in #Ukraine.

Perhaps it’s where he prayed before killing 30 people in Sumy on Palm Sunday.

‘Protest shapes the world’: Rebecca Solnit on the fight back against Trump Demonstrations against the US president have been underplayed and dismissed, but a lifetime of activism has taught me how powerful collective action can be

"I’ve heard versions of 'no one cares', 'no one is doing anything' and 'nothing came of it' for all my activist life." Or rather: Context is everything! Great piece from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social on the actual fight back against Trump:

Hamas reportedly willing to release all hostages at once for five-year cease-fire in Gaza ***

A senior Hamas official told Agence France-Presse on Saturday that the organization is prepared to release all remaining hostages at one time in exchange for a five-year cease-fire in Gaza. Israel has not yet responded to the report

“He’s not just unprepared; he’s temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility.”

In Kyiv, we don’t believe in the fantasy of Trump's ‘peace deal’. Our reality is more dead civilians | Nataliya Gumenyuk At the scene of the deadliest attack on our capital this year, I see the war on Ukraine is still very real – and Putin shows no signs of ending it, says Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk

"Ukrainians don’t have the luxury of indulging in the fantasies & distortions of Truth Social, or X, or Russian state TV. They have no choice but to believe in the rockets flying over their heads, the news of dead neighbours–in short, in reality"

If you paid $1 In federal income taxes, you paid more than:

Yes. It’s time to tax the rich.

The truth has become basic. Trump is a fool who is fucking everything up. There's no more to it than that. But there's only so many times you can write that column. So people are forced to construct 'well actually he has a point' arguments and 'hidden strategy' think pieces.
