#IFJ100 Members of the IFJ Gender Council from France, India, Spain, Italy, Uruguay, Pakistan and Brazil addressed trade union priorities for gender equality: zero tolerance for harassment, stronger representation in leadership and positions of power and equal pay, among others.
Gender equality in journalism isn’t just about fairness — it’s about the integrity of the truth we report. A trade union that protects its women protects press freedom itself.

Journalist Estefany Rodriguez has a valid work permit and was meeting with ICE later this month regarding her immigration status.
Yesterday she was abducted by ICE without an arrest warrant.
This is another attack on the free press and we call for Estefany's immediate release!
This landmark trial against the RCMP begins today and we stand in full solidarity with Amber Bracken and @thenarwhalca.

Hundreds gathered at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach to form a human banner reading “It Was Murder 🇺🇸 ICE Out,” protesting the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis.
Demonstrations took place across the Bay Area Saturday, from Oakland and Berkeley to San Jose, as residents condemned shootings by federal immigration agents and broader Trump administration actions. @KTVU

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨).
At least it’s online. Reshare.
Israeli forces detained 5 Palestinian kids - at the request of Israeli settlers. Their crime? Gathering wild vegetables.
The young boy who tries to save his friend at 0:15 shows more courage than the entire international community.
Shame on all of us.

Unionized journalists in North America are leading the push against generative AI, which damages newsrooms. We're fighting for...
-AI assistance, not work creation.
-No layoffs, no salary reductions.
-Label AI content appropriately.

I welcome the unambiguous ruling by the International Court of Justice today stating that:
- Israel is under an obligation to agree to & facilitate relief schemes provided by the United Nations & its entities, in particular @UNRWA.
- Israel’s claim that UNRWA is infiltrated by Hamas was not substantiated, nor were allegations that UNRWA is not a neutral organisation.
- There must be accountability for the killing of UNRWA staff members, for the severe mistreatment of humanitarian staff in detention & for the destruction, damage + misuse of UNRWA facilities.
- UNRWA is the key humanitarian actor with a “unique & sustained connection” to the occupied Palestinian territories, whose operations must be facilitated rather than obstructed — particularly given the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
- Providing every assistance to UNRWA’s mandated operations & activities in good faith is part of Israel’s legal obligations as a UN Member State.
With huge amounts of food & other life saving supplies on standby in Egypt & Jordan, UNRWA has the resources & expertise to immediately scale up the humanitarian response in Gaza & help alleviate the suffering of the civilian population.
This guy was funding the ostrich legal defense fund -- a New York billionaire.
Wild that a foreign-funded legal campaign that could make Avian Flu spread more broadly in Canada would be allowed.
There is a very disturbing pattern happening in America -- ICE agents assaulting journalists and media workers.
This is a direct attack on the free press and another step in America's descent into fascism.

🚨 Yemen reports the deadliest journalist massacre in years — 26 reporters were among 46 people killed after Israel launched air strikes on two newspaper offices in Sanaa on Wednesday. Yemen’s Health Ministry says 165 were wounded and warns the toll may rise as rescuers continue to search the rubble.
