Every day the EU fails to act is a greenlight to Israel’s genocide.

EU Member states must unilaterally suspend all forms of cooperation that may contribute to Israel's serious violations of international law.

Blue whales are going eerily silent—and scientists say it’s a warning sign A six-year study off California’s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?

Blue whales are falling silent from hunger. The krill are gone. The sea is too warm. Their songs fade away.
This is no anomaly. Humanity is deaf to a symphony of grief and warnings.

All that money and all those missiles weren't enough. Instead of learning the lesson that this is an unsustainable situation & diplomacy is the best option, the US will surely pour more billions of dollars into accelerating production of these mediocre missile systems.

"You’re going to be a lot less reticent about your country bombing the open desert than you would be about shelling people sitting on terraces chatting over lunch, or families milling about markets, movie theaters, ornately decorated mosques, department stores, or schools."

It should be everywhere.

Caregivers in #Gaza are resorting to desperate measures—cutting up old clothes or stitching plastic bags into makeshift diapers.

Thousands of children in Gaza are in urgent need of clean, safe diapers.

Lift the siege and let aid in at scale, including hygiene items.

'Vi lulla oss inn i ei behageleg førestilling om at når terroristen var dømt, var jobben gjort. Sanninga er sjølvsagt at det var då den verkelege jobben skulle ha byrja. Jobben med å eksponere og motverke kreftene bak hatet.'

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

Syria now. At this point, Israel could bomb Cardiff and we'd still be defending its right to self-defence.

Hundreds of the detainees at the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz” immigration jail in Florida have no criminal record, according to an investigation by the Miami Herald.

United in Hate - Brittany Friedman - Inquest White civilians often spontaneously cooperate in acts of racial hatred. It’s a web of racist solidarity that Black people know all too well.

"All these white people did not know each other personally, but they all knew what team they were on, and they all knew they were white, together, and that we were not." @curlyprofessor.bsky.social‬ on how racist solidarity works as a form of policing. inquest.org/united-i...

It's a policy of death (in any other area of society we'd call this MURDER), because migrant lives are deemed disposable and worthless.

Palestine Action ban threatens all our civil liberties Pouring paint on a plane is hardly 9/11. Non-violent protesters are not terrorists.

"The message from this Labour government is clear: protestors will face unprecedented jail sentences and fines for actions never before considered to be akin to terrorism and for crimes that involve no violence against individuals".
