Some of the most fervent pushback to Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza is coming from the same people, institutions, and newsrooms that refused to challenge, and even supported, the mass slaughter of Palestinians during the Biden administration. https://buff.ly/4k4uwpS #Palestine #Israel

“Much of the story…comes down to a small network of medical providers who found ways to prescribe and ship abortion pills around the country…Outrage over the Dobbs decision also spurred a wave of donations and educational campaigns that helped expand access to in-person abortions at clinics.”

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

'No recourse to public funds' has been successfully challenged in the UK courts! The UK govt policy breaches a duty of care because long wait times for immigration decisions mean people are left destitute with no means to support themselves or get support.

Crackdown in Azerbaijan: COP29 Host Country Arrests Climate Activists & Journalists Ahead of Talks

Amsterdam's mayor was one of those who described events there as a 'pogrom'. She has now publicly renounced what she said, and offered regret for erasing Maccabi violence - and how the narrative whipped up anti-Muslim and anti-Arab violence. The story continues to fall apart youtu.be/4H_ozYgHpoM
