In the dead of night, 1944, inside a Gestapo cell in occupied France…

The most wanted woman in the Resistance stripped bare and forced her slender body through iron bars no one thought possible. Dress clenched in her teeth, she dropped to the street and vanished into the darkness.
Her name was Marie-Madeleine Fourcade — the Hedgehog. 🦔

Born in 1909 into privilege, she flew planes, raced cars, and defied every rule made for women. When France fell, she took command of a tiny spy network at 31 — a mother of two — and turned it into the largest and most vital Resistance ring in occupied France. The only one led by a woman.
She built a secret army of nearly 3,000 agents — men and women from all walks of life — feeding Britain critical secrets, including a stunning 55-foot map of Normandy’s beaches for D-Day.
The Gestapo hunted a brutal man. They never imagined the elegant woman before them was their greatest threat.
But the cost was devastating. 💔 Hundreds of her agents were tortured and killed — including the man she loved. She moved constantly, changed identities, and while pregnant, made the heartbreaking choice to send her children away without even saying goodbye — watching silently from a window as they disappeared from her life.
Captured twice. Escaped twice. She rebuilt her network from ashes every time.

After the war, she devoted her life to honoring her fallen agents. Yet France overlooked her, awarding honors to her husband instead.
They forgot the Hedgehog.

She outlasted the Nazis. She outlasted the silence.
Now we remember.
Marie-Madeleine Fourcade — the fierce little woman who led 3,000 from the shadows and helped turn the tide of history. Even a lion would hesitate to bite.
Say her name. Share her story. Never forget.

They invited the young fan to join, but she didn't know how to skip. Instead of leaving her out, they stayed with her, patiently showing her until she finally nailed it 🥹❤️

Palestinian lawyer Khaled Mahajneh recounted a brief conversation he had with a Palestinian prisoner during a court hearing, after noticing clear signs of exhaustion and fatigue on him.

In a post on X, he wrote:

���Today, while listening to the testimony of a Palestinian prisoner in court, I asked him whether he had eaten breakfast.

He replied, ‘My last meal was yesterday afternoon.’

I asked him, ‘Are you hungry?’

He looked at me sadly and said, ‘Yes.’

The hearing was halted, and the prison guards were forced to bring him food. That single ‘yes’ summarizes the harsh reality that Palestinian prisoners are enduring inside Israeli prisons.”

Today marks 62 years since James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner disappeared near Philadelphia, Mississippi, while doing the dangerous work of Freedom Summer: voter registration, education, and civil rights.

They had gone to see the burned remains of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where members of the Ku Klux Klan had beaten worshipers days earlier. After being arrested and released that night, they were kidnapped and killed by members of the Klan. Their bodies were found weeks later.

Their lives were taken because they believed democracy should include Black people, because they believed voting rights were worth risking their safety for, and because they understood that justice requires courage.

As we honor them, we must also recommit to protecting the right to vote, confronting hate, and continuing the work of freedom with disciplined love and nonviolence.

Israel killed Mona Khalil in South Lebanon.

On June 6, they dropped a bomb on her home in Mansouri — flattening it.

Mona, an environmental activist, dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles along Lebanon’s coast.

She died of her injuries today.

In countries that have successfully reversed democratic backsliding in recent years—from Poland in 2023 to Hungary in 2026—opposition movements made prosecuting those who have broken laws a central campaign issue.

Sudanese journalist Mohammed Amin was awarded ‘Journalist of the Year’, but he couldn’t attend the ceremony because the UK refused to give him a visa. Amin has accused the UK government of neglecting Sudan’s crisis.

Al Jazeera journalist Al-Tahir al-Mardi has been reunited with his family in Khartoum after three years of separation and forced displacement caused by Sudan’s war.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

A man whose family are killed by the israelis in Gaza, says sorry to be boring, but while you’re watching the World Cup, we are being killed

@johnbyronkuhner Wonderful on both sides of this exchange.

@JoyceWhiteVance Or maybe we should just let him live with that delusion and remind everyone else of the truth.

[Seana Graham @GrahamSeana]

@Sneketoshi Lovely stuff! Thank you for sharing them.

@JoyceWhiteVance If we're lucky, he'll start by firing RFK Jr.

@CoryBooker Bread and circuses. Or maybe just the circuses, bread being too expensive.

[Seana Graham @GrahamSeana]

@SketchesbyBoze I think I may just about old enough now to appreciate it fully, being on the other side of the spectrum.
