If Eurovision deemed Russia’s war in Ukraine grounds for disqualification, why is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza being treated with impunity? The same standards must be applied.
No platform for apartheid: Israel must be excluded from Eurovision 2025 - DiEM25 Communications
Why Eurovision must not offer a stage to a state committing genocide - their performance on Nakba Day makes a further mockery of the hypocritical competition

Never conclude this Labour Government has hit bottom. It can, and on the evidence it will, get worse.
Lovely to hear from the Prime Minister that the historical policies which allowed my Mum to remain in the UK after studying here, thus enabling my existence, was a “squalid experiment in open borders”.

History shows time and time again that capitalists and liberal institutions rather concede to reactionaries than to the anti-capitalist left, because reactionaries don't threaten the rule of capital and the existing class-power structures at large.

It’s unbelievable this even needs saying: Investing in weapons is NEVER ethical.
Profiting from violence only fuels destruction, not peace.
Politicians and the media should be prioritising diplomacy, not more death.

“Outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them.”
You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

An incredibly challenging time at the World Health Organization as we actively respond to a complex crisis in which essential services that keep people alive —such as childhood vaccinations and daily HIV treatment — are at stake.

The change in how PEPFAR funds may be used is a betrayal to all the people - especially women in Africa - who took part in PrEP clinical trials.
Trial participants aren't throw-away guinea pigs.
These changes are immoral and unethical.

The latest clarification on how PEPFAR funds may be used, issued today limits PrEP only for pregnant women and breastfeeding women. Women in Africa participated in research studies that allowed us to understand how these medications work many did so with the promise of continued access post study.

This 77-year-old climate activist should never have been jailed – and now faces a Kafkaesque struggle to get out | Zoe Williams
A failure of justice, and draconian Tory law, put Gaie Delap in prison. A failure of government is keeping her there, writes Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

Well, that's ... different (given that the guy is a Saudi immigrant): "In his social media, the man also expressed support for the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party and reposted comments by party leaders warning of the threat of Islamic law being imposed in Germany."
German Officials Search for Motive in Christmas Market Attack
At least five people were killed and more than 200 others injured after a driver rammed an SUV into a crowded Christmas market in eastern Germany.
