MSF says that Israel is "progressively asphyxiating" Gaza. The conditions for people's survival are being "systematically destroyed" through sustained violence, "deliberate" blockade of essential supplies and the destruction of healthcare & infrastructure. https://t.co/O8obMKEGEZ

Here I am. #IAmJaneDoe. We are all her, and we stand by her side.
And here are the names you actually need to know, the names of the alleged rapists: Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris and Scott Kretzschmar.

7 men gang raped a woman, “Jane Doe”, at Cornell.

Over 50 men were in the group chat, knew what was happening and did NOTHING. The university authorities did nothing either, besides making them write an essay. Seriously.

Now some asshole wants to find her real name & expose her

At Trump’s AI summit, “the executives signed a "morally binding" document that would serve as a "form of protection" from AI's potential risks.”

Ah, if the Zuckerberg of this world tell us they’ll do what’s right, I feel much better 🙄

Brilliant decision!

The next meeting of the state parties to the ICC will be held in The Hague and NOT in New York!

Primary reason: limitations on participation in New York, such as elected officials of the Court subject to United States sanctions, as well as visa restrictions affecting some delegations and representatives of non-governmental organizations.

The decision to relocate the Assembly session was taken following consultations with all States Parties.

US$100 billion a year. That's the tax wealthy individuals and multinationals in Europe dodge, mostly by moving money to other European countries. Not faraway islands. Us. A UN tax convention can end this, and Europe should stop resisting it.

"“The leadership of the [UN ] has yet to reflect the principle of gender equality that it promotes across the international system. Namibia, therefore, believes that it is time that a woman is elected as secretary general of our organisation.” https://t.co/oIvR04FGUa

Have already imposed sanctions on 13 officials of the International Criminal Court, Trump and Rubio are now preparing to impose sanctions on the court itself. All of this leaves them vulnerable to ICC prosecution for obstruction of justice. https://t.co/EZHMFRK9rR

Russia's parliamentary election has ended, and preliminary results suggest the ruling United Russia party has retained its majority in the State Duma, followed by the Communists and Liberal Democratic party. TRT World is following the polls from Moscow.

🇬🇧I rarely commend states for taking “steps in the right direction” because I rarely see or hear such steps. This is one.

Forza UK: millions are behind you.

Next step: undoing the previous government’s legacy of repressing civil society for opposing genocide.

“Trump said he was banning CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House due to what he called unfavorable coverage, and threatened that more such media prohibitions could be coming”

This is what an authoritarian government looks like.

Jamaica files a reparations petition to King Charles III over the enslavement of Africans. The petition asks whether enslavement was lawful, whether it constituted a crime against humanity, and whether the United Kingdom owes Jamaica a remedy.

Britain's settlement trade ban is cosmetic. For it to work, it must sanction Israel.

...including arms exports, trade deals and academic relations that “may directly or indirectly enable Israel’s illegal occupation” of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

"Sanctions against individual settler groups or extremist ministers are a “smoke and mirrors cop-out and distraction” from the UK’s legal obligation under international law to end all support for Israel" https://t.co/ajea17CVoN
