What kind of country has people in civilian clothes not identifying themselves detaining a lawful permanent resident without pressing any charges nor handing any kind of warrant? Seriously, this - *this* - is the “free world”?

Una commissione dell’ONU ha accusato Israele di aver commesso «atti genocidari» per avere distrutto sistematicamente cliniche riproduttive e per avere usato la violenza sessuale come metodo di guerra

stop genocide, stop femicide, stop ecocide

Germany's antisemitism commissioner calls for the Verfassungsschutz intelligence agency to surveil universities and approves of Trump's plan to expel Gaza's population, saying "I don't think it's wrong to radically rethink this"

BREAKING: German police banned DiEM25's venue where Francesca Albanese was to deliver, today, a speech on Palestine. Our organisers have found another venue and are calling attendees to make their way to it. Help us defend democracy! diem25.org/police-press...

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is kinda like "Don't Be Evil" as a slogan. It's a bit worrying when you choose it, but it's a lot more worrying when you take it down

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

I’m one of those scientists. Join us

Human rights activist and Scientist Rebellion co-founder Mike Lynch-White was imprisoned ten months ago for peacefully disrupting a factory providing weapons to Israel with Palestine Action. In his own words, "the world has watched a genocide in slow motion." (1/6)

Free Palestine in Berlin too

BREAKING: Yesterday, Germany sentenced 4 scientists for acts of civil disobedience in resistance against the blatant inaction regarding the ongoing climate emergency. #ScientistsOnTrial @scientistrebellion.bsky.social
