[Camila Lourdes Galarza @sovietwithsazon]

More than 800 attacks on the Ecuadorian press have been recorded in recent years. This year, the Trump-backed narco-state, led by an American billionaire heir, was the single largest culprit. This is the story of the life, and the death, of one of its victims: René Cobos Merchán.

Sick and tired. Exhausted. Soaking wet. Worn out. Losing everything yet again, whether through forced displacement or a winter storm.

Support Gaza here: https://t.co/YR8kpxmtBQ

Palestinians in Gaza cannot be expected to endure endlessly. They need rest. They need protection. They need somewhere warm and dry for their children to sleep. They need help, NOW.

Admiring their strength will not provide shelter. Thoughts and prayers will not replace soaked bedding. Shares and likes must lead to material support: tents, tarps, blankets, and mattresses.

A durable dome tent costs aroun $700. Tarps on average are about $50 each. And less than $30 provides one winter blanket.

We have to help provide what families need to survive this winter. Donate to The Sameer Project’s General Fund and help us turn solidarity into shelter and warmth: https://t.co/YR8kpxmtBQ

A seething MSF statement re the latest deadly Israeli airstrike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital which killed 6. Nasser is one of the few (partially) functioning hospitals in the occupied territory. ‘Under international humanitarian law, hospitals must be respected and protected. In no conceivable circumstances can attacks on functioning hospitals in Gaza be treated as normal or acceptable’ says @MSF A prev Israeli ‘double tap’ strike on Nasser Hosp in Aug last year killed 5 journalists responding to the initial strike. IDF used the same claim then of targeting Hamas with no evidence. @MSF has urged the int community to move beyond condemnation and take action ‘The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity’, it continued

🇵🇰 Imran Khan’s political party seeks access to him following hospital visit

Imran Khan was removed from his imprisonment for a short hospital visit, and returned to prison overnight. The political party he leads, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), demanded access to him. The PTI said that his hospital visit raised “deeply troubling questions” about his health, and noted that his family and personal doctors were not told of the hospital visit. They said that they learned of it from news reports. Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023 on corruption charges that he denies.

“for once” lmao all you people have done is live off of the exploitation of the global south. all you have done is improve your own lives while everyone else pays the price. you’re not the main character of the world and you don’t matter more than anyone else

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.

Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.

I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.

We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.

I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.

What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?

I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Anyone who has camped in serious rain knows how miserable it can be, especially when your attempts to keep the rain out fail. All you want is to feel dry again. When it’s cold it’s exponentially worse. When you’re with your kids, you feel awful for them as they shiver. Now imagine the tent is your forced home, the water keeps rising, and there’s nowhere to go to get dry or warm.

[The Sameer Project @sameerproject]

We warned that Gaza’s makeshift shelters wouldn’t survive the first heavy rain. We never imagined that one night could destroy tens of thousands of tents and wash away entire displacement camps. Help please: https://t.co/YR8kpxmtBQ

Roads are under water. In some areas, the flooding is so deep that families can barely get out and our teams can barely get in. People who have already been displaced over and over are soaked, cold, and trying to figure out where their children can sleep tonight.

And it’s still raining.

We need to act now. Families need replacement tents, dry bedding, and solid ground to pitch those tents on before the next downpour. Please donate to The Sameer Project’s emergency winter response and help us reach families who have lost their shelter again.

Give to our General Fund: https://t.co/YR8kpxmtBQ

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Tucker was smart enough to see which way the wind was blowing and dump Trumpism 9 months ago under the auspices of Iran but has spent this time polishing the Vance turd and distancing him from Iran. He successfully sold Trump as "antiwar" twice & will try again with Vance in 2028

THIS IS INSANE. He drugged her so that he could shove abortion pills into her mouth and vagina. He made an online pharmacy account in her name so he could secretly have the pills shipped to West Point. She also wanted to keep the baby. He even threatened that he would kill himself if she didn't get an abortion. She refused because she wanted to be a mother, so he drugged her to terminate the pregnancy. He left her there, and when she awoke, she called 911. She said she was in and out of consciousness during the attack, and every time she tried to spit the pills out, he would shove them back into her mouth.

He then went on to study at CORNELL and graduated with his BA in emergency medicine (ironic) in 2024. Yes, he was enrolled the same year the gang rape happened at the fraternity. He then enrolled at Columbia, where he is STILL enrolled. But it gets crazier because he asked if the judge could delay his sentencing so he could finish his semester at Columbia, and the judge granted the request. This piece of shit is allowed to complete his education after assaulting a woman. Meanwhile, there is no update on whether she even finished her schooling after the assault because of the mental and physical trauma she experienced.

This is ANOTHER case of a university being aware of a student sexually assaulting someone and still allowing them to finish their schooling. @Columbia should have expelled him immediately. Why are these schools protecting disgusting men?
