"It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars." #Gaza

"The president is not a god, or an absolute ruler or a king. He is accountable to the people. For him to follow the precedents of previous presidents who have also not given reasons, particularly Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki, may not be wise." #SouthAfrica www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025...

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

What surviving a Russian attack looks like for many Ukrainians:

According to the General Staff, Russia launched 537 aerial targets against Ukraine overnight, including 477 drones, 4 Kinzhals, 7 Iskander-M/KN-23, 41 Kh-101/Iskander-K, 5 Kalibrs, and 3 S-300s. Ukrainian air defenses neutralized 475 of them.

It has been said before and needs to be repeated: The attacks on Iran violated international law, no matter how often politicians and commentators claim that the question is open.

Listening to DeSantis describe “Alligator Alcatraz”, you would think he is building a human-rights-compliant detention facility instead of the inhumane horror camp surrounded by alligator-filled canals with no due process that it is. Trafficking humans is the new big MAGA grift. #OnYourSide

Land-theft and ethnic cleansing.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Following its takeover, Aleppo's Christians are afraid not only for their safety but also for their future as equal citizens. Only civilian-led governance can ensure true coexistence in the city, argues Fadi Hallisso in @newlinesmag.bsky.social. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/al...

It's a genuinely tough dilemma. If you try to report heavily on the fact that Trump is lying, most people will say, "That's like reporting the sky is blue." And his followers yell "fake news" because no amount of proof will convince them he's a liar. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-lies...

Well, that can't be right, Senator. I was told Trump would never cut Medicaid.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

"MAGA allows for no breathing room after a tragedy, no space for unity. Instead, Trumpists immediately try to use the corpses to score political points without regard for the facts." #disgusting www.publicnotice.co/p/mike-lee-w...

"Gilbert the golden retriever was home with Democratic leader and Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband when a gunman fatally shot the couple and mortally wounded their beloved dog. And he was with them again Friday at the Capitol in St. Paul." www.nbclosangeles.com/news/nationa...

Americans, are you totally crazy to think this is normal in a civilized country? 12 (!) fully armed agents blow off the door to a house, endangering a woman with her 1 and 6 year old kids - just because the father accidentally hit a federal car? Are you nuts??! www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/h...

Mark and Melissa saw the humanity in everyone. Let’s honor them by doing the same.

In the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip have received 81 people killed and 422 others injured. (Times of Gaza)

As the conflict between Israel and Hamas grinds, the health system in the Strip has nearly collapsed, with doctors and int' aid organizations warning that the last remaining major hospital in southern Gaza is now at imminent risk of not being able to function due to a lack of supplies and staff

55 Canadians were just kidnapped and these are the travel instructions of our government. No additional warnings. They do not care. #Canadasky #cdnpoli

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

www.esquire.com/news-politic... CBP agents threatened Mads Mikkelsen with a $5,000 fine if he didn’t unlock his phone & let them gawk at his photos. They found this gem & subsequently shipped him back to Norway Mads spoke to the press & now this beauty pic is going viral What a clowncar #BoycottUSA

The #EU Commissioner for HR complained about restrictions on freedom of expression at universities, arts and culture institutions, and that on Nakba day peaceful protesters were arrested, and criminal law was applied to expressions of support for #Palestine. jonamorem.wordpress.com/2025/06/28/e...

Congresswoman @repjasmine.bsky.social specifically targeted Melania Trump's 2001 EB-1 visa, also known as the "Einstein visa." "You're supposed to have some sort of significant achievement. Last time I checked the first lady had none of those under her belt." www.newsweek.com/melania-trum...

#SouthAfrica just avoided the collapse of the Government of National Unity, after President Ramaphosa axed a #DA Dep. Minister for going after corruption and the DA set a 48-hour ultimatum to fire corrupt #ANC officials. 48 hours passed. Now the DA puts on thumbscrews. iol.co.za/news/politic...

Being followed lately by loads of slut-bot(?) accounts with zero to 4 posts, but lots (sic) to show. "Ladies", with due respect, if you look out for a guy with bags of cash who takes pleasure in puffed-up Botox lips, I am the wrong address. Try next door perhaps. Thanks.

tired: 'Big Balls' out WIRED: 'Big Balls' is back and now at the Social Security Administration, we have learned from a White House official. SCOOP:

Only 22% of Venezuelan Americans who voted for Donald Trump regret their vote. Only 22%! They are apparently only getting it, once they themselves become the target of Trump's aggressions. #EpicFail

"While 15 completed Calls to Action is something, there are 79 still waiting for action. Reconciliation isn’t about Indigenous people “getting over” the past — it’s about #Canada finally confronting its colonial present." ricochet.media/indigenous/t...

At least 610 Iranians were killed in Israeli attacks, while 28 people in Israel were killed in Iranian counterattacks.

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

If you see something, do something. #3e #StopICE

"I'm facing 17 years just for doing my job."

In her interview with Jen last night, @replamonica.bsky.social pointed out the expense that comes with fighting the Trump administration in court - a penalty that is often overlooked in reporting but is very likely part of the goal of Trump's abuse of the courts.

More than 800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza while the 12 day war with Iran was ongoing...and not counting the Palestinians in the West Bank killed by settlers and the IDF. Now Israel has closed the main food delivery route in Gaza... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

After the abrupt termination of American aid, the health system in central Mozambique descended into chaos. In part one of this special series, Spotlight and GroundUp explained how children with HIV had been abandoned by US-funded case workers. Now in part two, we describe how the funding cuts ...

Imagine a Democrat calling for the deportation of a Jewish Republican. You can’t. It would never happen. Our political and media elites talk nonstop about antisemitism while totally normalizing and amplifying the worst and most vicious Islamophobia. Sickening:

ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/... There needs to be a thorough investigation. Trump & his ghouls have been talking hosting detainees in Alcatraz, and opening 'Alligator Alcatraz' in the everglades. This is barbaric, was this toxic culture a contributing factor in this person’s death? #BoycottUSA

The Department of Justice vowed Thursday to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the migrant who President Donald Trump's administration wrongfully deported to El Salvador earlier this year due to an "administrative error.

New: Trump threatens to sue @nytimes.com and @cnn.com for articles questioning his claims that Iran’s nuclear program had been eradicated. NYT responds: “No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/b...

In a watershed moment in the fight to hold corporations accountable for complicity in Israel’s war crimes, A.P. Møller Maersk has become the first global shipping company to halt the transport of goods to and from Israeli settlements. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/mask... #Palestine #Israel
