Today is the 12th anniversary of 369 Eritrean refugees who drowned in Lampedusa (Italy) exactly 12 years ago. As @meron.bsky.social wrote, one of them was 22 years old and was giving birth as she was drowning. Her body was later found with an umbilical cord attached to her baby.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

People from all walks of life — including many British Jews — are protesting against your government’s complicity in genocide and standing in solidarity with Palestine.

Conflating Israel’s genocide in Gaza with British Jews is deeply inappropriate and dangerous. Shame on you.

"For the fourth consecutive night, young people protested Tuesday under the banner of the online collective 'GenZ 212', a loosely organised movement mobilising mainly through gaming platform Discord." #Morocco

Italian unions call for general strike as global protests grow and multiple governments criticise Israel.

How should we understand Jin Xing, China’s most famous transgender celebrity? In this new essay, Yahia Ma unpacks her embrace of gender binarism not as a paradox, but as a strategy that secures mainstream visibility while opening space to imagine cultural and political otherness in China and beyond.

Looks like the Mikeno (one of the ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla sailing to Gaza) might actually make it.

Roughly half the ships have been intercepted by the Israeli military, but the rest are continuing toward Gaza. globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

No live coverage on The Guardian of the Global Sumud Flotilla.

They had no problem giving us a live coverage of the Kirk funeral.

They don't even need to spend resources to cover the GSF. They can just report what they see on the live feed.

They spent resources to go to Kirk's funeral.

French MEP Rima Hassan on board one of the Global Sumud Flotilla boats: “you can see the Israeli boats intercepting”

7 minutes ago: “As most of the boats on the Global Sumud Flotilla live stream have gone dark, One boat, Captain Nikos, sends hearts and peace signs as they get closer to the naval blockade.”

BREAKING: Israel has intercepted Global Sumud Flotilla vessels Alma and Sirius, according to activists onboard.

Pls join us in following the Global Sumud Flotilla as it attempts to break Israel’s starvation siege of Gaza.

It will make more noise if more people are watching on YouTube.

So far over 60,000 people are following live.

UPDATE: Live feeds from several Global Sumud Flotilla ships are now *dropping* as several sources indicate Israeli ships are approaching the flotilla

The flotilla is carrying 500 volunteers from 45+ countries trying to break Israel's siege of Gaza & aid starving Palestinians

Israeli forces are minutes away from illegally intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla.

One of the ships - the Ohwayla - sails under a UK flag. Onboard are humanitarians with vital aid, demanding a humanitarian corridor.

The Labour government must act NOW to protect UK citizens.

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza.

A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters.

Israel intends to violate international law once again.

⚡️Must watch:
Netanyahu reveals to Hebrew audiences after the press event where Trump revealed the 20-point plan to end the war on Gaza, that he has no intention of withdrawing Israeli troops from Gaza – “No way, that’s not happening.”

He said:
“This is a historic visit. Instead of Hamas…

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

It’s terrifying what we are witnessing in El Fashir. The UAE backed RSF encircling the city to starve and exterminate people, while the so-called intl. community treats the UAE as a peace broker.
