Pope Francis used his final public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza: “Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism.” Even in hospital, he checked in daily on Gaza’s Christian community. The world has lost a brave voice for peace and justice.

On my birthday In the midst of my displacement, while the whole world & the internet try to strip me of my dignity and humanity your support have breathed life back into me and my family I am grateful. I hope this day ends with me reaching my goal Is there a generous donor who will fulfill it? 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

sraeli murdered a husband & wife while they slept in their tent in the so called safe zone of Al Mawasi. Israel also bombed a house in Khan Younis, murdering a mum, dad & their children. Israel also targeted a Palestinian fisherman who was catching fish. Hind Khoudary reporting

Dr Majdi Salem: "Israel has deliberately targeted libraries across Gaza. What they are doing is well calculated" A report by Hani Mahmoud on how Israel has destroyed libraries in Gaza.

For me, I will remember Francis as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.

Expel the Israeli Ambassador.

The army has advanced to an area 10 minutes away from me, we are now surrounded. I can’t leave. They set up military cranes equipped with machine guns and cameras, the ground is littered with merciless tanks, and the sky, as usual. There is no escape. The apocalypse has come. Gaza is over! :((((((

Drones entered people's homes in Shujaiya last night. Every house that gave off any light (such as a cell phone flashlight) was entered by these drones and opened fire. There were many injuries.

The crime is not only what the occupation does in Gaza, but what the world fails to do to stop it. Silence is not neutrality... it is the weapon by which the innocent are killed quietly, but more cruelly than bombs.

This Irish trauma surgeon keeps putting his life on the line working inside of Gaza. Listen...

Israel is relentlessly bombing Gaza. Since early this morning, more than 40 Palestinians confirmed killed in Israeli attacks. Among the targets was an UNRWA clinic housing displaced people in Jabalia, killing at least 19. Children among the dead.

Good morning I’am alive! But I resist what is stronger than fire and cannons. I resist the anger in my chest. I just want to keep my family well, and that requires your donation now. All donations are greatly appreciated, kept, and help me survive. ❤️‍🩹

After a month of blocking all food from Gaza Israel says there is plenty of food in the strip. The UN says thats ridiculous. In other news all bakeries have now been forced to close because of a lack of flour and fuel.

Tahani Mustafa: Israels strategy "is to make the strip completely uninhabitable for its population.. what we are seeing is what many of us predicted from the outset.. you're going to see Gaza quite literally razed to the ground" Exactly.

There isn't a single country, other than Israel, where the majority of citizens aren't opposed to the genocide of Palestinians, but not one government represents the voice of the people. This is what happens when you never vote for someone who represents your values because you must prevent "worse"

🧵You’ll see headlines calling the UK “the sick man of Europe” and claiming disability benefits have doubled. But between 2010–2023, the caseload rose just 23% (from 2.6m to 3.2m). They inflate the numbers by quietly switching time periods. It’s misleading — and dangerous. 1/6

The famine is becoming more brutal, tightening its grip on those who remain alive. A short while ago, news arrived that bakeries were completely closed. Flour had run out, and there was no more bread to feed the hungry.

writing to you, terrified, outraged, and angry, because, in addition to repressive and tyrannical regimes that wish to eliminate us, websites and applications are being utilized against us to thwart our survival attempts. Everyone wants to exterminate us as if we were insects. I feel like an outcast

I can vouch for all three of these guys

What a despicable coward Take from the disabled, but give to Musk, Bezos and their ilk Sickening www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bakeries across Gaza have been forced to close today because of a lack of flour and fuel, caused by Israels total blockade of the strip. Hind Khoudary reporting.

There was rightly concern last week when OBR & DWP documents revealed that £4.8bn of cuts to benefits for ill & disabled people would push 250k people into poverty, including 50k children But @neweconomics.bsky.social analysis suggests the true scale & impact of these cuts will be even greater... 🧵

Today marks one year since Israeli forces attacked clearly-marked World Central Kitchen vehicles — killing 7 WCK workers, including an American

I put my speeches from Wednesday's @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social protest against Labour's Spring Statement on tiktok, and they're up to a combined 20k views now. The comments are heartbreaking. I'm still mostly in bed - made it outside today for an hour, though ❤️

I also want to add that, in addition to all this, Vance's puppeteer Peter Thiel owns Palantir, which has been testing surveillance and metadata-scraping predictive targeting algorithms on Palestine for more than a decade. Facial recognition and information tracking coupled with all this is Bad.

Our @dropsitenews.com colleague Hossam Shabat, who was assassinated by Israel last week, was on an Israeli hit list. Sharif Abdel Kouddous spoke to four other Palestinian journalists in Gaza on the list. These brave journalists refuse to stop reporting. 🔽 www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-journ...

new link, through which I can get donations within two days or sooner. help me get through this struggle, which is becoming more difficult by the day. I am currently displaced and suffering indescribably. Please share so that I can survive and seek refuge as soon as possible.ً

“A few minutes later, ... we heard the sound of Israeli soldiers arriving at the location, speaking in Hebrew... with statements like: ‘Gather them at the wall and bring some restraints to tie them.’” "He said the body of one of the victims was recovered from the grave with his hands still tied."

Oh my god I don’t care that this strategy won’t work for Labour I care that it puts people in danger I care that it is a lie He really is a c*nt

Received a panicked message from Lolo this morning about this evacuation- she’s been in Rafah for a while (which has been awful). She told me transportation will be $500 if you can help

We received evacuation warnings before the army entered on the second day of Eid. Where will I go? I'm almost hating myself and hating this life

Here are a couple of the fundraisers for orgs on the ground responding to the Myanmar earthquake : Better Burma www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-... (Channelling money to a group of orgs) www.myanmarearthquakehelp.com/en/donate

A report on the 15 paramedics & ambulance/civil defence workers murdered by Israel & buried in a mass grave. The Palestine Red Crescent Society is rightly calling it a massacre. Israel has murdered more than 600 healthcare workers in Gaza since October 2023.

"Now I, with my little sister, are all alone in the world" Ahmed Khalil and his younger sister are orphans because Israel murdered their entire family.

There it is again… the same flying-car, robots-will-do-the-hard-stuff, technology’s-just-a-tool bullshit they’ve been feeding us since the 1950s

If you care about me and want me to have a happy Eid, please donate to my survival and pray for a ceasefire soon. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

Predictably,we have reached the stage of fascism where certain groups are expected to carry their papers.

Honestly wish everyone would spend less time on either side of the lab leak vs natural origin and more time on issue that has actually defined the pandemic: airborne transmission and the overall institutional response that emphasized droplet transmission

Help if you can

My book is called ‘MANDALAY: Recipes & Tales from a Burmese Kitchen’ because Mandalay is where my heart lies. My father and my brothers were all born in Mandalay, and my parents met at Mandalay Medical School. My tastes, my food, my vocabulary are that of a Mandalay-thu (မန္တလေးသူ - ‘Mandalayan’).

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating✨ My prayers are with oppressed people everywhere — especially families in Gaza, marking a second Eid al-Fitr under genocide, relentless Israeli bombing, a total siege starving them of food, water & aid, surrounded by the rubble of homes & mosques.

The reason Palestinians from Gaza are more desperate today than ever is because tomorrow is eid. These are all parents trying to buy a tiny piece of sweet that probably costs $200 at this point for their kids. Some probably just want to make sure they have anything to eat at all for their kids.

A new type of vaccine based on mRNA technology is seen by many as a potential breakthrough in the fight against cancer. We sat down with oncologist Lennard Lee to discuss why he hopes these vaccines will prove to be the “silver lining of the pandemic.”

NEW: Drivers on the M8 in Glasgow gave their opinion of Elon Musk as a global day of action targeted the company's showrooms #elonmusk #tesla #teslatakedown

For years, political experts have warned that America is in a state of democratic decline. Now some say democracy in the US could be giving way to something else entirely: an oligarchy.

They are actually worse than the conservatives on benefits. #WelfareNotWarfare

If you repeated any of the campus warfare drivel in the past decade and particularly in relation to protests against the destruction of the Gaza Strip, then congratulations! You are now a minor shareholder in fascists deporting students to El Salvador for Tweets and Instagram posts. Great work!

This is good, because it takes the focus off the individual eejit, and turns it back on ourselves? Will we, as a country, be able to resist the insidious lure of populist racism and face our own problems like grown-ups?
