Thailand is turning up the colour this Sunday 🌈

The government is inviting the public to join Bangkok Pride Festival 2026, featuring a nearly 5 km rainbow parade through the heart of Bangkok as the country pushes its bid to host #WorldPride2030 🩷💛🩵💚💜

Officials say the event also celebrates Thailand’s Marriage Equality Law and growing nationwide support for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion. 🏳️‍🌈

BATO NOW PART OF ICC WANTED LIST

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has formally included Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa on its public wanted list on Wednesday.

The warrant, originally issued under seal on November 6, 2025, was made public on May 11, 2026.

The charges pertain to his role as the Philippine National Police chief, citing alleged responsibility for crimes against humanity during the Duterte administration.

Meanwhile, the profile of former president Rodrigo Duterte is also seen in the website with a state that read, "in ICC custody."

Impeach now! #TrumpKills

Deranged, unhinged, and criminal.

I hope our legislative friends in US Congress proceed with an impeachment.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This statement changes nothing.

The President has threatened a genocide against the Iranian people, and is continuing to leverage that threat.

He has launched a massive war of enormous risk and of catastrophic consequence without reason, rationale, nor Congressional authorization - which is as clear a violation of the Constitution as any. Each day this goes on, the risk and criminality of these actions escalate for our nation and the world.

Moreover, this administration’s self enrichment, insider trading, and pure corruption off this chaos - from crypto currencies to predictive trading markets to bribe “settlements” - has placed the Trump administration’s pursuit of personal wealth squarely against the wellbeing of our nation and its people.

All of these incidents, and plenty more, have clearly driven our country past the threshold for impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment.

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer. None of these considerations should be partisan, but shared in good faith by Americans of all backgrounds who care for the safety and stability of the United States.

Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.

The Philippines, famously called the “Perlas ng Silangan,” is made up of 7,641 islands, yet only about 2,000 are inhabited, while around 5,000 remain unnamed.

For decades, the total was estimated at 7,107 islands, but this number rose significantly after the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) identified over 500 additional islands between 2013 and 2016 using advanced IFSAR technology.

Most Filipinos reside on Luzon, the largest island, which is also home to Metro Manila.

And with ongoing exploration and improved mapping tools, even more islands may still be waiting to be discovered. #EarthMonth #Philippines #Geology

The @Olympics is basically saying, “if you’re trans, you cannot compete in elite sports.” Say that to trans kids who wanted to pursue sports and bring gold to their home countries. Transphobia kills dreams.

[The Philippine Star @PhilippineStar]

“Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females,” the International Olympic Committee said, “determined on the basis of a one‑time SRY gene screening.”

It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic level. No woman who transitioned from being born male competed at the 2024 Paris Summer Games.

The eligibility policy that will apply from the LA Olympics in July 2028 “protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category,” the IOC said. | via @AP

Misogyny is real and it continues to exist. We need to call out people for doing so, lalo na kung public servant sila. Those remarks that Cong. Suntay made is inappropriate, insulting, and WRONG.

[Bianca Gonzalez Intal @iamsuperbianca]

The fact that there is no remorse, no clue as to why what he said was offensive and inappropriate, and even commented in an interview that "she should take my remark as a compliment" is what makes this disgusting comment even more disgusting.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

The escalation in hostilities across the Middle East and North Africa region following the US and Israel attacks on Iran, and Iran’s retaliation, is putting civilians at grave risk. @amnesty urges all parties to abide by international humanitarian and human rights law. Civilians must be protected.

We are closely monitoring developments to assess civilian harm and the broader human rights impact.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I condemn the military escalation in the Middle East today.

The strikes by the US & Israel against Iran & the subsequent attacks by Iran undermine international security.

These actions carry the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world.

Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations.

The @UN Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace & security.
