Screenshot from Google Top Stories with two headlines for the same Reuters article describing the deliberate bombing of a hospital, killing >20. You wouldn't know that from Reuters though. Left: "initial inquiry says Hamas CAMERA was target of Israeli strike that killed journalists" Updated headline, right: Updated headline now reads "Reuters and AP journalists killed in Gaza strike were not 'a target', an Israeli military spokesperson says".

Left: headline @reuters.com ran describing an attack that killed 20, including 5 journos, one of them their own.

Right: updated headline after being rightfully mocked by everyone on the planet.

No mention it was IN A HOSPITAL.

Google still shows both headlines side by side!

I'm imagining a film, where a company has perfected commercial time travel, and that is their ad to get people to purchase their "move to the 80s" package.
Inevitable disaster/hilarity ensues.

My full statement on the Gaza Famine :

Every one of these protests is a terrifying experience for the asylum seekers - the wider atmosphere in the country is horrible & Labour’s reaction craven. But it’s worth remembering how much of this is generated by politicians & media openly desperate for broad unrest which simply isn’t happening

screenshot of ICE reposting a Libs of Tik Tok post and tagging Justice Dept

A CT state rep posted a story about reports of ICE activity in his district and asked neighbors to "look out for another" and contact advocacy groups.

Libs of TikTok posted it, calling for him to be charged and tagging ICE & DHS.

ICE shared it, tagging the Justice Dept.

Should refugees claim asylum in the first safe country they reach? - Free Movement Over and over again we hear that refugees should claim asylum in the first safe country the reach. There are variations on the theme. Genuine refugees claim

quoting @jfcrisp.bsky.social :
"Point of detail.
Under international refugee law it is NOT illegal to arrive in the UK on a small boat if the the purpose of the journey is to claim asylum."

British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans.

It's been extremely heavy to watch the violence in Suwayda unfold and with it, the dehumanization of the "other," the weaponization of those vulnerable, the terror of civilians, and the destabilization of Syria.

@timep.bsky.social stands with the victims and has these words to offer.

Oh yeah I forgot to post this here but fortunately someone did it for me

France: No Justice for Syrian migrant drowned after police chase New evidence reveals shortcomings in rescue operation and that the French police could have saved Jumaa al-Hasan (27) in March 2024.

Jumaa al-Hasan, a young Syrian, drowned on the night of 2-3 March last year in the north of France, during an attempted police interception.

A new investigation from The New Arab can reveal that the police did nothing to save the 27-year-old and the fire brigade only carried out a minimal search⬇️

A Syrian Death Factory Gives Up Its Secrets Under the Assad regime, Saydnaya prison became a mass-killing machine; ‘a symbol of shame for the whole world.’

Since December we have been investigating the Assad regime's killings in Saydnaya prison.

Based on interviews with 21 former detainees, we show the extent of the atrocities committed in the prison, including an incident in March 2023 in which some 600 men were executed in one week:

"I was shocked to see one of the nurses who I worked with carrying my daughter... she was dead."
