If you ever wondered what you would do in 1930s Germany, you have your answer. This is a spiritual emergency and we have to summon all our courage. We know what happens inside #Broadview is torture. For me it’s simple - I wouldn’t stay silent if they locked Jesus up there, and I won’t be silent now
NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."

Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

“We live in one of the richest countries in the world, that can afford to drop a lazy $360 billion on a bad idea... yet, when it comes to health, education, aged care, apparently, so many of these things are unaffordable.”

⚠️ AU MOINS 83% DES MORTS DE GAZA SONT DES CIVILS. À partir des données chiffrées de la Direction du Renseignement militaire israélien, le quotidien britannique @theguardian.com & le magazine israélien @972mag.com ont révélé, vérifié et confirmé cette statistique stupéfiante, fin août dernier.

In 1800, a Black woman posed for an artwork. Her portrait marked a turning point in the history of painting.

Who is Madeleine, the woman in the Louvre’s Black Mona Lisa?

Début des vacances, période un peu plus propice aux projets, réflexions à moyen terme, et aux suggestions.
Est-ce qu'il y a des thèmes, périodes, livres, films, historiens ou historiennes que vous aimeriez entendre dans le podcast Paroles d'histoire ?

The thing with Cape Verde is they have a huge diaspora who so far played for other countries
🇸🇳 Tavares, Faty
🇵🇹 Nani, Rolando
🇫🇷 Vieira, Evra (via Senegal)
🇨🇭 Gelson Fernandes
In the current squad u have players born in Netherlands, 🇵🇹 or 🇫🇷 but still an impressive amount born in CV
Amazing stuff
‘This moment is being described by people there as not just the biggest moment in their football history but the biggest moment in their national history’

Football Weekly's @paul-c-watson.bsky.social gives the low-down on Cape Verde's seismic achievement after they qualified for the World Cup.

The media coverage of the ongoing exchange of hostages/prisoners shows again the dehumanization of Palestinians
The Israeli hostages have names, faces, lives, families etc..
The Palestinians are just an undistinguishable mob

This really highlights how negotiations between Israel and Palestine are negotiations between an occupier and an occupied people.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza.

Israel seems to be intercepting right now.

All eyes needed.
