Seeing a few false “massacre” claims from misidentification of satellite images and Google Maps labels about #Sudan — some showing livestock or red vegetation misrepresented as blood or bodies. This misinformation undermines trust in real atrocity evidence and data sources

1. Fascism is not a moment in history. It is a strategy of power: obedience enforced through hierarchy and the use of force. It thrives on division, exclusion, and the persecution of those who refuse to submit.
Anti-fascism is the refusal to accept such abuse of power. 🧵

The recent waves of Israeli airstrikes on targets in #Hudaydah in #Yemen caused more oil spills, affecting the local coastal environment. Multiple strikes this year caused significant air, water and soil pollution from hydrocarbons when oil facilities and ships were targeted

Vrij denigrerend stuk, alsof het 'tuig' niet handelsbekwaam is en gewoon opgevoed moet worden. Wat we zien is het constante ophitsen van menigtes door rechtse politieke partijen, en wat men zaait zal men oogsten. Het constant de schuld geven aan vluchtelingen, 'links', dat zich nu uit in geweld

Exclusive: Long-range 'kamikaze' drones seen near RSF base could worsen conflict in Sudan
More than a dozen long-range kamikaze drones seen near an airport controlled by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces during a major air assault on army territory in May indicate the paramilitaries have new weapons that could alter the course of the war.
