@mabl2k.bsky.social Hey Carlos, mind giving a follow so I can dm you?

New @hrw.org research: Airstrikes by the Sudanese Armed Forces using unguided bombs killed and injured scores of civilians, including children, in residential areas of Nyala, South Darfur, in February. Five strikes in 40 minutes on Feb 3 alone. www.hrw.org/preview-link...

Listen, Run, Hide. This is how residents in #Kherson live, under armed quadcopter #drones operated by Russian forces. One of the most difficult and terrifying visual works I have ever faced Have a look at out new @hrw.org report: www.hrw.org/feature/2025...

Every morning, Petro picked up his wife Tetiana in Antonivka, Kherson. One day, a Russian drone was waiting and attacked. Their story is one of many in our new investigation into deliberate drone attacks on civilians. New @hrw.org feature: Listen, Run, Hide. www.hrw.org/feature/2025...

New @hrw.org report: Since mid-2024, Russian forces have increasingly used armed quadcopter drones to kill and injure hundreds of civilians in Kherson. Victims were walking, biking, driving, or even receiving medical care when attacked.

From Poltava to Kryvyi Rih, @hrw documents 4 Russian strikes that killed 47 civilians and injured 180+. No military targets. No justification. Just Ukrainian civilian lives lost. 📄Read the evidence. Demand justice. www.hrw.org/news/2025/05... Ukraine #JusticeMatters #HumanRights

🚨 New @hrw report: Russian attacks in Ukraine are killing more civilians in 2025 than last year. Playgrounds. Apartments. Hotels. City centers. No military targets. No warnings. Possible war crimes. 📄 Read the full report: www.hrw.org/news/2025/05... Ukraine #WarCrimes #HumanRights

@ja31ck.bsky.social hey can you follow me so I can send you a message?

Tomorrow marks two years of war in Sudan. Civilians across Sudan continue to face egregious abuses and deliberate harm. So far, the world has failed to act. At UNSC today & in London tomorrow, leaders again have the chance. @hrw.org's reporting since April 15, 2023: www.hrw.org/feature/2025...

@arseblog.com that intro, chef kiss.

New @hrw.org: Urgent action needed to address the threat of landmines & explosive remnants of war in Syria. Since Dec 8 there have been over 600 casualties The transitional govt & int'l donors shld support clearance, education & assistance Detailed recs👇 www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

Devastating developments driven largely by two countries that have not banned antipersonnel landmines – the United States & Russia – are threatening international norms & long-standing working to eradicate these weapons, which predominately harm civilians - @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

In a significant step toward affirming the rights of transgender people in Poland 🇵🇱, the country’s Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling eliminating the requirement for trans people to sue their parents in gender recognition proceedings. New commentary from @hrw.org: hrw.org/news/2025/03...

«Se til Europa».

Deeply concerning that Israel is importing its Gaza abuses to the West Bank. Israeli forces have killed almost 900 people there since October 7th, destroyed scores of homes and critical infrastructure, and left multiple refugee camps “near-unhabitable." www.hrw.org/news/2025/02...

New @hrw.org report: The Sudan Shield Forces, an armed group fighting alongside the Sudanese Armed Forces, intentionally targeted civilians in a January attack on Tayba village, killing at least 26 people including a child. These are war crimes. hrw.org/news/2025/02...

Absolutely relieved to see human rights defender Sihem Bensedrine released yesterday in #Tunisia. She should never have been failed & still faces unjust travel ban. Authorities should drop abusive charges against her, free dozens of others still behind bars. www.lemonde.fr/afrique/arti...

New HRW geospatial analysis shows the dismantlement of camps west of Goma, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, that housed hundreds of thousands of displaced people. 1/10 🧵⤵️

Google has revised its AI Principles, scrapping a previous veto on developing AI weapons. A global industry leader suddenly abandoning its self-proclaimed prohibited uses of AI underscores why voluntary principles are not a substitute for regulation and enforceable law. www.hrw.org/news/2025/02...

NEW: For over a year, the Israeli government has deliberately denied Palestinians in Gaza the minimum water needed for survival, most likely resulting in thousands of deaths. A calculated policy. An act of genocide. 🧵⤵️ www.hrw.org/news/2024/12...

By deliberately depriving people of water, the Israeli gov has created “conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction” of Palestinians in Gaza. That's how the genocide convention defines a “genocidal act.” And it's continuing, @HRW finds: www.hrw.org/report/2024/...

Come work on tech research @hrw.org! Vacancy for a senior researcher, working with me, @deblbrown.bsky.social, @notzachcampbell.bsky.social. Scope to shape the role - expertise in platforms, internet infrastructure, data exploitation a bonus. Closes 5 Jan. job-boards.greenhouse.io/humanrightsw...

Latest @hrw.org on Sudan. The investigation reveals how the RSF and allied militias committed serious war crimes in South Kordofan. Read the first of a two-part series below. www.hrw.org/news/2024/12...

ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leaders & a Hamas official break through the perception that certain individuals are beyond the reach of the law. Governments should support justice globally and address atrocities for all victims in Palestine and Israel⤵️ www.hrw.org/breaking-new...

Finally. www.icc-cpi.int/news/situati...

"We need action now, not in two months." Continued arms transfers to the Israeli government are contrary to US law. HRW's Federico Borello discusses the need to halt arms sales to Israel:

"Basically everything that happened this week, including the riots, has been used by right-wing politicians — even our prime minister — to point the finger at migrants and blame them." A clearer picture is slowly emerging of the violence involving soccer fans in Amsterdam www.cbc.ca/news/world/a...

Last week we published research on RSF attacks in Gezira state in Sudan. The widespread attacks highlight an urgent need to protect civilians. www.hrw.org/news/2024/11...

“series of X-rays showing a piece of shrapnel buried inside a 20-month-old girl’s head & a bullet embedded in an 18-month-old boy’s chest are among images released by medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières revealing the impact of the war in #Sudan on children” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Nice case of data misrepresentation: Threads is pretty much a mobile app only platform (website is garbage) and supposedly has 33 million daily users or nearly twice the number of Bluesky users full stop.

I’m sold.

“This is the first time I have been interviewed by The New Yorker, and it’s happening because Israelis were killed. What happened when Palestinians were killed in the thousands” Husam Zamlot recently expressed the same on BBC. Palestinians are being interviewed to first and foremost denounce Hamas.

Here’s the news in rural Ontario.

Musk pushes whatever new update once a month that gets everyone’s knickers in a twist and will ultimately U-turn on said updates. Not sure why people are still surprised.
