This ferocious, all-out assault on women's rights has been years in the making. They mapped out every sphere where women gained autonomy - education, healthcare, careers, social freedoms - and are systematically targeting each one for destruction.

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend. What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees.

Israel wants us to become de-sensitised to these numbers. We can never allow that to happen. This is an abomination - a stain on humanity - and yes, a genocide as well. Israel steps up Gaza attacks, with 123 killed in 24 hours
