Our negotiators had never seen this before in any international talks,”

Yes you have, it just targeted States from the Global Majority so you didn’t care. Now that US imperialism is coming to you you don’t like it so much.

#Sudan: UN Human Rights office estimates in the 100s number of summarily executions since #RSF capture of El Fasher.

Weak @eudiplomacy.bsky.social statements won't end crimes. Condemning crimes, sanctioning RSF leaders & exposing #UAE role can be key to stop them.

Dutch election 2025: The winners and losers Liberal boss Rob Jetten had a big night, lefty leader Frans Timmermans had a disaster β€” and what about far-right figurehead Geert Wilders?

After two years plagued by infighting and political paralysis, the Dutch tried to turn a page in yesterday’s election.

But the country remains divided: The parties finishing first and second, centrist liberal D66 and the far-right PVV, are sworn enemies.

In Gaza:

❌ destroyed infrastructure
❌ displacement
❌ limited access to water...

...have made it nearly impossible to manage menstruation safely or with dignity.

Sexual and reproductive health is a right. Palestinian girls and women must not be left behind.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Fascism is normal. Greed is normal. Homophobia is normal. Sexism is normal. Racism is normal. We are getting "normal" in droves right now. When they say "Make America Great Again" it's "normal" that they wanna go back to. No, what we need right now is to be exceptional.
"Normal" is what got us here.

Yes, it’s called β€˜Textbook what the US has been doing in the Global South for decades’. None of us are surprised by the way - we’ve told you - imperialism abroad is fascism at home.

$105 Million Reparations Package for Tulsa Race Massacre Unveiled by Mayor

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.
