Analysis matters in critical times. @BattlegroundEU is a nonprofit media countering false narratives and propaganda eroding trust in politics and the press.

It’s an abject reminder of how mainstream outlets are played by Silicon Valley, by the cosy rules of access journalism & the genre framing of the celeb interview.

Clegg never submitted to a proper interview in his time at Facebook & now gets to spin & whitewash & conceal all while still under a FB NDA.

Nick Clegg made a reported £100m from Facebook. And now the reputation laundering begins.

Congrats to him on this magnificent PR coup. Nicely played, Clegg. A glossy magazine profile AND extract in the paper that created the Facebook PR crisis that led to his hiring.

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need?

Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law?

This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

"They should be ashamed of their silence." This is not a bunch of student protestors. This is the editorial board of the Financial Times.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I wonder whether the European Civil Protection Mechanism can be activated for people—especially children—burned alive in plastic tents, or is it just for trees.

This is one of the main villages you saw in No Other Land. Today it was destroyed by the Israeli army.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Israel's reported plan to intensify assault, displacement and destruction in Gaza would amount to an abhorrent escalation of crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and acts of genocide.

States should urgently act to prevent further mass atrocities. https://t.co/3ipC1756oB

Credit to the Mirror. Good to see this on the front page of a major UK paper.

Hundreds of journalists have watched the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land which shows exactly this in the years before October 2023. Now a photojournalist whose film work was just nominated for Cannes has been assassinated. It’s time media cover and call out this impunity.

RIGHT NOW: Israeli settler shot a Palestinian on his own land near Tuwani, West Bank. Israeli army detained the victim's son, the shooter is walking free.

The victim is in the hospital, updates to follow.

"While Serbian protestors are not marching or holding vigils for anyone other than themselves, their example should inspire people around the world who are trying to figure out how to mount resistance to authoritarian regimes in our high-tech era."

Joel Schalit records the sounds of politics in motion. "I make greater use of recordings of demonstrations and protests." His recordings offer a raw, unfiltered view of political events. #SoundArt #StreetRecording #Battleground

"Lowe built his reputation hyping Muslim rape gangs and promoting the mass deportation of migrants."

In this episode of Left To Burn, Josh White dissects the split. The crisis could determine the future of the UK right.

"More than an entire month has passed without a drop of aid into Gaza.

No food. No fuel. No medicine. No commercial supplies.

As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened.

#Gaza is a killing field – and civilians are in an endless death loop."

Joel Schalit doesn’t just take photos—he captures politics in everyday life. "I try to limit it editorially to things that people are going to go, what the hell is that?" Street photography with a message. Watch the full video here👉 https://t.co/ozFNs7nsCH

[The Battleground bsky/battlegroundeu.bsky.social @BattlegroundEU]

Joel Schalit’s method is simple: "I just go out and capture what I find. It’s an improvisational approach." His street photography focuses on hidden political moments in everyday life. #Photography #StreetArt #Battleground

"Too few analyses affirm that Le Pen had to bow to the law, which she clearly and massively broke, whereas Donald Trump did not. Progressives need to do more to promote and legitimise the rule of law."

"Although the past may inspire us in our struggle to move forward, as the example of Bob Dylan clearly does for Jesse Welles, making real progress requires that we stop believing in the magic of repetition."
