Potrebbe essere il più grosso disastro russo dell'anno. Ricordando che la città era già stata data per presa da Putin stesso, e che i propagandisti pro-russi amano le sacche, scordando che a finire insaccati, in questa tattica dell'andare avanti senza consolidare, sono proprio i russi a rischiare

'Him and his minions would be hanging outside Jewish prayers.' 'Banter doesn't exist if you're not friends with that person.' Stefan Benarroch explains his interactions with Nigel Farage at school, and what he has made of the Reform leader’s response to the allegations. @natashadevon.bsky.social

And in what may be the most troubling thing of all, it appears that the US goal is NOT to break up the Russian Federation, the clear aggressor. Their stated goal is to break up the EUROPEAN UNION, and to interfere in the internal affairs of EU members to drive political change.

As far as I can see, this nat sec strategy is far harsher on Europe than on Russia. There is no mention of a threat from Russia or of deterrence, only that "re-establishing strategic stability" is a priority. Europe is cast as a major threat to freedom. A radical, dangerous document.

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

Temerko, a Soviet-born oligarch and a major Conservative donor, told Belton that he and Johnson spent time… plotting the overthrow May. According to Temerko, Johnson had finally been persuaded to back Brexit in 2016 by a group of “eastern European businessmen”. bylinetimes.com/2023/01/19/l...

James Cleverly: "I cannot understand the motivation for protests of this type so regularly"

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca. This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

ICE is the Sturmabteilung of Trumpian fascism, characterised by racial profiling, flagrant lawlessness, and sadistic violence. The fact that Badenoch wants that for us is a shocking illustration of just how extreme and sinister her politics are. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

3 October 2013, Dr. Pietro Bartolo (photo) is checking a long line of body bags laid out on the quayside on the island of Lampedusa. For 21 years he's been the frontline doctor on this tiny outcrop of Europe, where almost half a million migrants have landed [Thread] >> 1

I dunno about the rest of you, but I want my cardiologist to relax and rest rather than spend her off-time picking litter and sweeping the streets.

These rooms should be filled with newborn cries, the beeping of monitors, pregnant women being cared for, patients finding relief amid a genocide. Instead, these rooms now stand empty because MSF was forced to evacuate our last functioning health facility in Gaza.

Happy Stanislav Petrov day! Sometimes, questioning what the computer tells you, is the way to go.

We are horrified and saddened by the death of our colleague Hussein Alnajjar who died yesterday in #Gaza. His death was due to shrapnel injuries caused by an Israeli airstrike near his tent five days earlier.

"What is happening in Gaza is a genocide. And the President of the United States, who wants a Nobel Peace Prize, is doing nothing to stop it." @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk

I see why NATO members don't want to call this an armed attack, ie an Article 5 contingency. But @phillipspobrien.bsky.social is right. 17 yrs after Russia invaded Georgia, Western leaders still don't understand that Putin is provoked by weakness, not strength. Deterring him will require force.

Not just the BBC, everywhere needs to be balanced. @fairpoliticsnow.bsky.social have done a great job with a parliament petition, not long to go, it doesn’t look like it will get to 100k petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Nigel Farage and the Reform Party’s Taliban Tax means sending hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money to an oppressive regime that British soldiers fought and died to defeat.

A political-media class capable of colluding in genocide has *already proven* itself capable of the dehumanisation of Others that can sustain fascism at home. Aimé Césaire wasn't kidding about the imperial boomerang.

Israel double tap strike. It murders journalists then sends a drone in to kill the paramedics trying to retrieve their bodies. A war crime, broadcast live and sponsored by the US and Europe. 🚨Boycott EVERY news channel that doesn’t show this footage today🚨

Russians attacking Ukrainian positions on the Zaporizhzhia front on armored vehicle flying both Russian and American flags.

#Gaza can’t wait. #Sudan can’t wait. #DRC can’t wait. Right now, humanitarian aid – and the people it is meant to assist – are under attack. These assaults will not stop unless those responsible are held to account. Now more than ever, we all need to stand up for humanity.

It is inherently absurd to proscribe a group as terrorists based on acts the public doesn't know about. Terrorism *by definition* involves violence intended to intimidate a civilian population. How can the target population be terrorised by acts they know nothing about? www.bbc.com/news/article...

BREAKING: According to reports, Israel has bombed the home of prominent Gaza journalist, Motasem A Dalloul. At least 10 are dead. Israel is exterminating journalism in Gaza, prior to enacting its final solution. The war crime of the 21st century is unfolding live & the world is just watching.

This is a man who has no idea what he's talking about, & no understanding of his interlocutor's motivation, about to sell out Ukraine to Putin, who knows exactly how to manipulate Trump. Europe cannot let this stand, if it wants to save itself as well as Ukraine.

Anas Al-Sharif was one of the most remarkable reporters of his generation. For 673 days, he defied Israeli threats to kill him. Al Jazeera now confirm their crew in Gaza City have all been assassinated: RIP reporters Anas Al-Sharif & Mohammed Qareqea and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher & Mohammed Nofal

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

An abomination. An affront to free speech and an acute threat to the consensus on terrorism www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza. “A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said. Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

Watch our colleague Mohammed Abu Mughaisib, Deputy Medical Coordinator, explain how starvation destroys the body. Health workers in #Gaza are starving alongside their patients as Israeli authorities use hunger as a weapon. Learn more: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-ms...

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. The Washington Post has just published every single known name. A seminal moment.

Credit to the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen. Defying the Israeli ban on filming Gaza from above, Bowen instead describes the carnage & genocide he can see: “I can tell you that communities in the north of Gaza that I knew well…with tens of thousands of people…are flat. There’s nothing left of them.”

What do you get the person who wrecks everything? 💖

My overwhelming memory from Hebrew school is being young and seeing images of ancestors starving in the camps. “Never again” was our religion. Here is the paper of record today. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

Alex de Waal has worked on humanitarian causes across the globe for over 40 years. “There is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.”

A small detail, but notice how 18 month-old Muhammad is wrapped in a black plastic bag. Israel is blocking diapers as well as baby formula from entering Gaza. (📸Ahmed Al-arini)

Photo of the Day Widely shared but rarely credited to the photographer, Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini. Gaza is the most dangerous place that has ever existed for journalists. But they work on, documenting a genocide for a world desperately trying to look away. May their images haunt us forever.

Gaza is now single deadliest conflict for journalists in history. This is not only an attempt to extinguish a whole people, it is also an attempt to extinguish the story of their genocide. “One day, everyone will have always been against this.” - Egyptian-Canadian writer, Omar El Akkad. #Gaza

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'. A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air. One day, everyone will have always been against this.
