Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why?

Rosie: He's not Canadian?

Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

“At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken,” organizers of the Global SumudFlotilla posted on the Telegram social media app.
“While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality Israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.”

BREAKING: Cardinal Pizzaballa issues statement on Ben-Gvir video abusing flotilla activists.

The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, has issued a statement on videos showing Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir abusing detained, bound flotilla activists, describing the images as “disturbing, but not surprising.”

What troubles him, he says, is not the incident itself. It's what made it possible.

The Cardinal points to a "culture of contempt" entrenched in Israeli society — one that has gradually taken hold in how the other is perceived. It doesn't live only in shocking acts. It seeps into everyday language and reductive thinking, reducing the other to a stereotype. A vague enemy.

"A form of human and spiritual impoverishment," he calls it — before it is ever a political one.

The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.

He also cancelled all of the global Ebola prevention programs. The UN has now declared Ebola outbreak a global health emergency.

Elon Musk’s dismantling of USAID has already killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.

He cut lifetimes for millions and the result is a silent massacres.

Nor should we forget his complicity in the genocide in Gaza, as well as in the war in Ukraine and the Epstein case.

I don’t understand how billionaires think. If I only had one billion dollars, I would rush to fix our world problem. Homeless, hungry, poverty, wars, climate change... etc. They can be heroes and not just billionaires. What a waste.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO

Trump and his family have now made $4 BILLION off the presidency, including more than $3 billion from crypto alone.

Here’s a radical idea. What about having a president who wants to improve the financial well-being of ALL Americans, not just his own family and fellow oligarchs.

A reporter reminded President Trump yesterday that he’d said the night prior that the US might be better off not making a deal with Iran.

Trump said “I didn’t say that.”

Vatican newspaper headlines the Israeli razing of entire villages in southern Lebanon, including Christian schools. “After the bombardments, the Israeli bulldozers get to work”. Why is no major western newspaper showing this?

Trump is doing to the U.S. what he did to all his businesses: siphon out as much cash as he can and leave the debts to the investors, in this case, the U.S. taxpayer.

"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction." Senator Claude Malhuret stood up in the French Senate this week and systematically torched every single member of Trump's cabinet.

Nobody was spared. Not one.

"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court," Malhuret began. Then he went through the roster.

"An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health." (That's RFK Jr)

"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy." (That's Scott Bessent)

"An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces." (That's Pete Hegseth)

"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice." (That's Pam Bondi, whose former firm collected $115,000 a month lobbying for Qatar)

"A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security." (That's Tulsi Gabbard)

Then he pulled back and went bigger.

"A Turkish proverb says: when a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king. It is the palace that becomes a circus."

Malhuret pointed out that since Trump created his so-called Board of Peace, he has launched more military strikes than Biden did in his entire term. He called out the Boeing jet Qatar gifted Trump worth $400 million.

He called out the stock market manipulation that only insiders benefit from. He called out the Gulf investment deals enriching Trump and his family.

"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret said. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."

Then came the line that cut deepest. "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction."

This is how the world sees us now. Not through Fox News. Not through Truth Social. Through the cold, clear eyes of allied nations watching a great country be hollowed out by crooks.

Every American should hear this speech. Share it everywhere.
