He gave up £1m to get cancelled & smeared. Literally nobody does this. It’s an incredible statement + commitment. Huge kudos!

Israeli soldiers are reportedly torturing Dr Abu Safya --a pediatrician, for God's sake!
Without strong pressure on Israel, these may could be his last hours.

A doctor who saved lives in #Gaza is now fighting for his own.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya - detained without charges for over 500 days- is reportedly being tortured & at an imminent risk of death in Israeli detention.
Abu Safiya is among 14 Gaza doctors (pediatricians, surgeons & other specialists) who remain detained without charge, many for more than a year.
Their continued detention deprives patients of vital care & further undermines Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.
Their release is essential to saving lives + restoring Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.

Incredible Albanian people.
Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

British supermarket chain the Co-op is cutting ties with Israel in a major win for the BDS movement, and will remove Israeli products from its shelves from this month.
Palestine Solidarity Campaign director Ben Jamal called it a “seismic victory” and said: “The Co-op has shown great moral courage and ethical principle in deciding that it cannot ignore voices from the British public calling out Israel’s gross human rights abuses and violations of international law – and even more importantly, it cannot economically support that regime through doing business in Israel.
“This beacon of leadership must now be taken up by all other supermarket chains which continue to sell Israeli goods, despite knowing they are supporting its war crimes.”
The Co-op will also cease sourcing products and services from 16 other countries where there are internationally recognised community-wide human rights abuses and violations of international law, including Afghanistan, Belarus, Central African Republic, North Korea, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Haiti, Iran, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

This massacre must be one of the worst atrocities of all. Rescue workers murdered one by one, then buried in a mass grave.
This is clearly a war crime.
All those responsible should be brought to trial.
And we should stop arming Israel.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.
SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

It may have no effect but we should be grateful to Bishop Budde for addressing Trump in person with this message.

"I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer."
That shame was never hers to carry.
Gisele Pelicot is so right and so brave to refuse it and to demand that it changes side.

Israel has spent the past year desecrating international law on live TV.
Now it is waging war on the UN itself, including 10,000 peacekeepers from 50 countries stationed in Lebanon.
What will it take for the UK to end its military, economic & diplomatic support for Israel?
