BREAKING: The Islamabad High Court has de-listed Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha’s suspension of sentence appeals that were going to be heard on 4 June. No new date has been set. Today the couple completes 130 days in Adiala Jail for tweeting; how utterly shameful.

This will ruin your day, perhaps your summer, or even the rest of your life.

But you need to listen to it. You need to know the crimes that are done in your name and with your tax money.

A British surgeon in Gaza testifies that Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as target practice. One day, they would shoot the children in the testicles, and on other days, in their necks.

They were practicing their shooting on children.

Fatou Bensouda, former ICC chief prosecutor, described meetings with then-Mossad chief Yossi Cohen as starting friendly, with what she called "an attempt to win me over", before hardening into explicit demands that she stop Palestine investigations

There are books to demonstrate just that and now there are good people doing good podcasts alongside useful scientific research

There's scientific dimension and then there's a moral dimension. Explore.

The poor need better equitable distribution of resources incl of course better food & nutrition. The mythology around meat being the best/only source of protein has been debunked. Evidence shows plant based food are good for healthier human life and for a healthier planet too.

@AmirMateen2 His football instructor at st. Anthony's called him Tora Khan whom the instructor had known as a footballer, because Atif played it so well and in style like the khan. If football was accorded the right place in our society, Atif might have lived a different life.

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes.

[Ahmed Shihab-Eldin @aseisfree]

BREAKING: The US just quietly removed UN expert Francesca Albanese from its sanctions list, a week after a federal judge temporarily blocked the measures over free speech violations, according to Reuters.

This was never about law or policy … it was about silencing among the most powerful advocates for Palestinian human rights.

Judge Richard Leon saw through it. He called out the Trump administration for targeting @FranceskAlbs "because of the idea or message expressed"—for daring to recommend arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for their crimes in Gaza.

They weaponized sanctions to weaken her mission, to make an example of anyone who dares challenge Israeli impunity. But Francesca never backed down.

The prosecutor’s ICC charges against Netanyahu remain. The genocide in Gaza continues. But today, truth scored a win.

“As long as Israel's political discourse continues to see separation and supremacy as the solution, we will continue in the same direction: more violence, more destruction and more moral and physical ruin.” writes Yuli Novak, B’Tselem’s executive director in response to an article published by Yair Golan.
