"UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid"

When exactly are the international community going to do more than wring hands and make sad faces?

Israel is violating international norms and rules of war. It is indiscriminately targeting civilians inc a million children

Similar to what Helena suggested, I use 'minoritised' because it denotes the process. Some use 'racially minoritised' to highlight processes of racism, etc

Note in Lancet about denialist + revisionist Milei. After questioning the number of victims during campaign, Milei follows through by shutting down ex-ESMA. Has also shut down dept for anti-gender violence in related far-right attacks against health and human rights

Offline: Argentina—demanding remembrance

An urgent plea to all concerned with the defence of health and human rights: the Argentine government's decision to close the Haroldo Conti Cultural Centre at the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada in Buenos Aires from Jan 2, 2025, is an act of violence against the families of 30 000 victims who were murdered by Argentina's 1976–83 military junta. It is a decision that must be reversed if Argentina is to retain credibility as a nation concerned with protecting and advancing the wellbeing of its citizens.

Bad Bunny's 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' is a love letter to Puerto Rico. This professor helped him tell the island's history

Released Jan. 5, the record pays homage to the island’s rich rhythms like plena and salsa, and delves into it’s seldom taught history.
