Limoni di Siracusa, vendemmie felici e bambini distesi sull'erba: la nostra indifferenza alla formica di fuoco minaccia la vita quotidiana di quest'isola più vivace delle altre. La mia inchiesta per @repubblica. Grazie a @RiccardoLuna @CriNadot https://t.co/QKYpE26rqE

@j_amesmarriott Hi, could you please follow me back ? I launched an app to connect book lovers IRL in France called Marcel. I'd love to translate your work in French and circulate it to our community and potentially explore collaboration paths. Thank you in advance !

There is no internet.
No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage.

I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.”

Not because anyone is listening,
but because to die unheard is the final death.

Gaza is silent now.
Not with peace, but with obliteration.
Not a silence of stillness, but of smothering.

They severed the last cable.
No messages leave. No images enter.
Even grief has been forbidden.

I passed the corpses of buildings, of homes, of men, some breathing, some not.
All of them erased by the same hand that erased our voices.

This is not a siege of bombs alone.
It is a siege of memory: a war against our ability to say, “We were here.”

The bombing never stopped, especially in Jabalia.
They shell the streets where children beg for food.
They shell the lines where mothers wait for flour.
They shell hunger itself.

No food. No water. No exit.
And those who try, those who reach for aid, are struck down.

People die here, and no one knows.
Not because the killing paused, but because the killing of connection succeeded.

The internet was our final breath.
It was not a luxury; it was the last evidence of our humanity.

Now it is gone.
And in the dark, they massacre without consequence.

I found this faint eSIM signal as a dying man finds a flicker of flame.
I stood beneath a broken sky, risking death, not for rescue, but to send this.

A single message.
A last resistance.

If you are reading this, remember:
we walked through fire to say it.
We were not silent.
We were silenced.

And when the cables are restored,
the truth will bleed through the wires,
and the world will know what it chose not to see.

L'État français doit agir immédiatement pour libérer et protéger notre journaliste @yanmdi

Cela fait maintenant 5 jours que Yanis a été incarcéré illégalement après avoir été arrêté, illégalement aussi, par les forces armées israéliennes dans les eaux internationales, à bord du Madleen. A l'heure actuelle, seule une intervention ferme et déterminée de la diplomatie française pourrait débloquer la situation et aider à faire rapatrier au plus vite notre journaliste et les 2 autres détenus.
Merci de nous suivre, de relayer, de témoigner votre solidarité avec Yanis, bref, de nous soutenir.

[Yanis Mhamdi @yanmdi]

Je suis journaliste et après avoir couvert pendant une semaine le convoi de la Feeedom Flotilla mon arrestation par l'armée israélienne est imminente. Des humanitaires et des journalistes n'ont pas être arrêté J'appelle tous mes confrères à se mobiliser.

While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.

#BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.

@owenjonesjourno In earnest, I’m desperate to help, but how can we indeed ensure these aren’t scams?

@piersmorgan Lukashenko, "The longest serving leader in Europe" -- all you have to know about this young man's journalistic skills. You, @piersmorgan , are a fascist sympathiser.

[Natalie Sauer @natalielsauer]

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump It's called fascist energy.

@andreloez 1. C'est protester contre le magnat de Musk et l'illusion que cette plateforme serait un terrain neutre de com 2. C'est reconnaître que les chances de convaincre un adversaire pô sont quasi nulles & certainement des trolls radicalisés. Le débat doit se reporter dans la vraie vie

For climate advocates across the country, the outcome of this election means that all of us must find ways to redouble our efforts and find bipartisan solutions to the climate crisis that create jobs, promote prosperity and safeguard the future of humanity.

In a moment such as this, it is important to remember that all major reform efforts, from civil rights to the climate movement, suffer dark days. And this is surely one. We can mourn a loss, but we can’t linger in despair. Our planet doesn’t have time for that. Now more than ever, this movement needs engagement and leadership from all corners of the country.

During a down moment in the struggle for civil rights, Martin Luther King, Jr. said something about overcoming days like this: “If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.”

We know the line to solutions is never straight or easy. But we have won major victories in tackling the climate crisis and reducing climate pollution in our country, and we will again.

My greatest source of hope comes from the courage and commitment of grassroots leaders and advocates in the U.S. and around the world who are relentlessly pushing for progress. Onward.

I wish he would shut up and read some fucking science on how a big portion of athlete women have a higher portion of testosterone than average. Shall we also ban tall men from playing basketball? No, uh, because it's okay to be a giant when you're a bloke and dwarf other men. Why is this hysteria over physical advantages only the preserve of women? Why are women always the ones at the mercy of comments desparaging them as freaks?

[Natalie Sauer @natalielsauer]

Cette campagne de dénigrement envers une femme qui a un plus haut taux de testostérone qu'une autre est absolument dégueulasse. Depuis quand on défine le sexe des personnes sur la base de leur gènes? Imaginez-vous qu'on procède à éliminer les avantages génétiques dans le sport - où est-ce que ça se termine? Et pourquoi ne s'interroge t-on pas sur toutes les femmes qui ont battu Khelif par le passé? La vérité, c'est que cette attaque sur elle est pur sexisme, regorgeant de stéréotypes sur le fait que les vraies femmes sont fragiles et pleurent et si on les laisse faire de la boxe, optent pour des coups plus doux. Non, non et non.
