Da oggi in Afghanistan le bambine possono sposarsi a partire dall’età di 9 anni. Lo ha deciso il governo dei talebani, abolendo l’età minima per il mattimonio. L’eventuale silenzio della ragazza sarà considerato come un consenso.

Tehran carried out more than 2,100 executions in 2025, the highest number recorded by the Amnesty International since the 1980s, the rights group’s Iran researcher Raha Bahreini told Iran International, describing the death penalty as a “tool of repression” used to instill fear after protests and dissent.

More than 140 officers were injured defending the Capitol on January 6th.

They waited six years for the plaque in their honor to be hung in the Capitol.

They watched as Donald Trump pardoned every single one of their assailants.

Some of them can no longer work and cannot even get disability benefits.

But Donald Trump has set aside nearly $2 BILLION of your taxpayer money to pay the criminals who assaulted them.

It’s a punch in the face to every police officer in this country who puts his or her life on the line to protect us.

I support Officers Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn in their lawsuit to stop this outrageous scheme.

The laws of war are clear:

Hospitals, ambulances, patients, and healthcare staff are never targets.

Even wars have limits.

Iran is the only country in the world where the government casually sends trailer trucks to collect corpses of protesters

Not sure how much more evidence we need to establish this regime committed crimes against humanity

Dear @RepRalphNorman: Please watch this video. You and I were Members of Congress when January 6 happened. Remember?

Happy to bring police officers who were assaulted on January 6 to your office so they can explain to you how they got their injuries.

The remains of 11 people - incl. 3 children - were found and preliminary information indicates the victims were among those forcibly disappeared by Regime.

First, secondary schools. Then universities. Then work, movement, and autonomy. Now: a girl's silence can be used as a consent to marriage. Step by step, the Taliban has built a system designed to dominate every aspect of women's and girls' lives.

When exclusion is written into law, it stops being a rights violation. It becomes institutionalized domination. Afghan women are leading the charge to demand accountability, justice and an end to gender apartheid.

Hundreds arrive every day.

Children. Pregnant women. Mothers.

But what happens after they walk through the doors?

Abdullah from MedGlobal takes us inside one of our nutrition sites in Gaza, where teams are detecting malnutrition early, providing nutritional support, and creating small spaces of stability for families facing extraordinary circumstances.

Because care is not only about treatment. Sometimes it begins with knowing someone is still there.

During Dhul Hijjah, your support can help more families in Gaza find care, comfort, and a place where they are not left alone: https://t.co/VUMsIo8gUI

[MedGlobal @MedGlobalOrg]

When a pregnant mother suffers from malnutrition, two lives are put at risk.

Even if the baby survives, the consequences can last long after birth.

This is Hidaya’s story.

She came to MedGlobal pregnant, malnourished, and in need of urgent support.

Because of your support, we were able to provide the nutrition she needed to recover, give birth safely, and care for her child after birth.

In these days of mercy and giving, your support can help mothers like Hidaya receive the care and nutrition they need when it matters most.

Give today: https://t.co/q9dRPw7b6r

Al-Dana Maternity Hospital in Idlib, Syria, stands as a place of care, safety, and new beginnings for mothers and children because SAMS believes healthcare is not a luxury, but a right for every family 🤍

In the pediatric department, doctors provide immediate consultations and around-the-clock critical care, alongside a fully equipped neonatal unit dedicated to saving newborn lives.

In the maternity department, specialized medical teams are always ready to welcome new life, with operating rooms equipped to the highest safety standards for both natural and cesarean deliveries.

Al-Dana Maternity Hospital is more than a hospital. It is a place where hope is born every day through your support.

The clearest constitutional challenge to the $1.8 billion fund was filed this morning by the people who were there.

Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn - who testified he faced racial epithets from Trump supporters during the riot - and MPD Officer Daniel Hodges - whose screams as he was being crushed in a door frame on the West Terrace became one of January 6's defining images - filed suit Wednesday to halt the fund.

Their constitutional argument: Section 4 of the 14th Amendment prohibits using federal money to pay any debt "incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States." It was written after the Civil War to prevent the government from assuming Confederate war debts. The officers are applying that prohibition here.

The DOJ will argue standing. The officers' answer: they are already facing ongoing harassment and death threats from January 6 participants. Federal payments to those participants are likely to fuel more of it. That is a concrete, traceable injury.

Woodward's response: "way, way, way too early to rush to judgment." The officers who held the line on January 6 are holding it again. The lawsuit is filed.

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.

Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

[Staff Sergeant Gonell, Aquilino @SergeantAqGo]

They didn't want to award the Capitol Police a medal or a plaque but want to reward the people who orchestrated and took part in the violence that injured me and ended my career. In the name of national reconciliation, they pardoned the same rioters who attacked us and now being rewarded for the violence they inflicted on us the officers.

They are trying to make the lives of the rioters whole or better than before they assaulted us. Yet to the officers, no apology, no compensation, no acknowledgment of the bravery and sacrifice we made to protect “each of your representatives” regardless of what party they belong.

Why did we risk our lives for then?
What a betrayal this is to us and to the rule of law days after “police week”.
