➡️ UNRWA’s humanitarian supplies remain stuck in warehouses in Egypt and Jordan, banned from entering #Gaza since March 2025.

📦 Life-saving aid is ready to move. There is no time to lose.

UNRWA teams have never stopped providing essential support on the ground. Let us do more.

Free enterprise vs free press.
I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Billionaires and democracy are contradictory by definition. No person should have so much power in a democracy. They are the ones attacking freedoms. Unlimited corporate freedom kills the people's freedoms.

Pavel Durov is injecting political messages to all Spanish Telegram users. 🤯

A supposedly private, end-to-end messaging app. Being used to spread hatred toward the Spanish government.

Isn’t that a bit much?

With the world's attention diverted elsewhere, Gaza’s casualty numbers have crept back up to pre-ceasefire levels.

Neither the Biden nor the Trump administration has been willing or able to enforce meaningful red lines, and Netanyahu keeps pushing. Frog in boiling water.

The Israeli army bulldozed parts of a cemetery in Gaza which houses the graves of Allied solders, including dozens of British and Australian soldiers, from World War II.

The IDF has falsely claimed that the dismantling was done out of self defense due to it being an "active combat zone".

Gaza is now buried beneath 68 million tons of rubble. How does one, in the face of such destruction, refuse to be defined solely by loss?

People said that Greenland was a distraction from the Epstein files, but I am starting to think that the (selectively redacted) Epstein files are a distraction from Gaza.

It definitely goes both ways. Nobody with a moral compass becomes a billionaire and vice versa
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

Qué peligro publicar miles de documentos sin contextos, como pasó con los emails de Clinton liberados por Wikileaks que dieron lugar a la conspiración del Pizzagate. Se está dejando de lado y minusvalorando, una vez más, a las víctimas reales de las agresiones sexuales de Epstein y su entorno.
