Six years too late

Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. After his release, he says he wants the world to know what happened to him. By @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

Call me a prude but document host providers should have zero right to read your fucking documents wtf???

Apologies - I went to check after posting as I have a paid account. It's 1Gb proton.me/mail/pricing

I've moved to Proton. It's a paid option, but Proton's support regarding cybersecurity has been brilliant, they give you a very decent amount of storage, and the VPN works great. The mail service is actually usable too. This is one of the reasons why I moved away from Google. My data is my data.

Meta exposé author faces bankruptcy after ban on criticising company

Google is out there restricting a sheet it says violates their phishing policy except my sheet is just a collation of footage of war crimes. Nothing that I haven't created 10s of times over the past eight years

An important account of what's transpired in Lebanon over the course of a year. The forgotten Israeli war, which is still very much ongoing, in my opinion.

If you open the insides of an Egyptian, you'll find a lot of things that bring you joy, but they're all broken.

I don't understand how any decent human can protest against immigration. You stayed put when your countries advocated for, participated in, and abetted wars and armed conflicts; you don't get to disagree with the outcome, now

As the Israeli army’s ground invasion advances into major residential areas in Gaza City, some residents say they’re not moving. “There’s no point in struggling to find a better place in hell,” one resident said. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/as-i...

Every day feels like the last. Explosions rip through homes, streets turn into graves, children carry trauma too heavy for their little hearts. My family is trapped in this nightmare. Please, extend your hand before we are buried in silence. donate please, save us 🙏🏻💔 tinyurl.com/anas-need-yo...

The corporations/billionaires are not only crushing the opposition but remolding formerly time-honored institutions into something unrecognizable. There’s a reason Trump’s 2nd state visit involved King Charles 👑 entertaining numerous corporate heads from across tech, media, and business. 💰💷💶

Low-key horrifying

1/ An image of remnants purportedly connected to the August 25 strike on the Nasser Hospital in Gaza has been added to the OSMP. It shows parts of at least three fin-stabilised tank gun projectiles, consistent with those used by Israel. osmp.ngo/osmp1650/

Peak liberalism

This is the state of play. This is how anti-trans hate can affect everyone. When the wife of a world leader is not immune to having to prove she's a woman to satisfy bigots, what hope do most trans and non-binary individuals have of being able to live our lives in peace www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yesterday, the IDF reportedly targeted journalist Hussein Chaabane from Legal Agenda with a failed drone strike in Zaloutiye municipality, Tyre District in South Lebanon. The IDF has a history of targeting journalists in South Lebanon, too. www.instagram.com/p/DOtbpq7CNd...

journalism was never cool. *Robert Redford and Hoffman* were cool b/c the only way to make a Watergate movie was to have it star these two extremely cool/sexy people! Reporters and good reporting are vital to a functioning democracy but it's a job for fucking dorks! It's a dorky profession! JFC!

It's been one year since the pagers attack. It was a horrible day that signaled the intensification of Israel's bombing campaign on Lebanon (ongoing in south Lebanon until now). And even worse was traveling outside Lebanon & hearing westerners express how impressed they were by its sophistication.

If you enjoy talking to a chat bot, well, you're in for a treat

Yesterday, #SaudiArabia's authorities announced the execution of four Egyptian nationals- Ahmed Zeinhom, Abdel Fattah Kamal, Rami al-Najjar and Hesham al-Teles (not pictured)- for drug-related offences. All suffered abuses in the course of their arrest, detention and trial.

In Dzaleka refugee camp, international aid cuts mean many refugees are now only eating once a day. And with the US no long accepting refugees, their chances of relocation have plunged. I met women who fled for their lives and were then forced into sex work. This was a hard piece to do.

New from 404 Media: airlines are selling *5 billion* ticketing records to the government for warrantless searching, per new docs we obtained. ARC is a data broker owned by United, American, Delta, etc. Then sells peoples' travel info to ICE, Secret Service, FBI etc www.404media.co/airlines-sel...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Classic illustration of the false dilemma fallacy. “The false dilemma…involves presenting a limited number of options as if they were the only…available. This forces people to choose between two extremes, even though there is a spectrum of possibilities.” www.scribbr.co.uk/fallacy/fals...

I still don't quite foresee the complete breakdown of relationships between Israel and Egypt. At least, not for the time being given they have been de facto political allies. But indicators show that if they do, Egypt might fully deploy its forces to Sinai & scrap the Camp David Accords altogether.

Elon Musk seems not to have realised that this AI-generated image he retweeted is of the Arc de Triomphe, not of London. It would be laughable, were it not so inflammatory.

May I suggest chuffed.org/project/1163...

I would be triple-checking the identity of that "high school friend" with at least three other IRL high school friends and making all of them show me at least two forms of identification. I would be SO wary of getting played by some groyper discord or even a normal gamer server right about now.

Exclusive: Trump health officials plan to link coronavirus vaccines to the deaths of 25 children as they consider limiting who should get the shots. The findings appear to be based on unverified reports submitted to an online reporting system which is open to anyone.

Tannourine is a stunning piece of nature, up in the mountains, north of Lebanon. My soul was soaring ... when I was there 3 weeks ago.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

Yvette Cooper eminently qualified for the role of British foreign secretary given her prior experience of treating black and brown foreigners like garbage and sucking up to the far right.
