They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.

They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.

Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.

Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.

This was an assault on a woman whose life's work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon's coastline and its endangered sea turtles.

The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.

BREAKING: Israeli forces have killed journalist and cameraman Ahmad Samir Washah in an airstrike on Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, according to Palestinian media reports.

Washah worked for Al Jazeera Mubasher. His brother, journalist Mohammed Samir Washah, was killed by an Israeli drone strike on his car on April 8.

The two brothers were killed 73 days apart.

“All of Lebanon must burn”

Free Press writer: I’d gently push back on the idea that this is extreme

[Sharon @stridewallops]

When a major Indian news agency just published a ruling party MP's hateful screed without doing basic fact checking - the person being blamed died a month before the events in question - you realize how servile Indian journalism has become to power.

[ANI @ANI]

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey says, "On 19 June 1964, under the leadership of Nehru ji, a dark stain was cast on India's constitutional framework. In March 1964, the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly sent a person named Keshav Singh to jail under privilege proceedings, but in great haste, two judges of the Allahabad High Court, GD Sahgal and NU Baig, stayed the Assembly's sentence. In protest against these judges' decision, the Assembly ordered both judges and Keshav Singh's lawyer to be sent to jail, causing an uproar—a situation arose where the High Court judges faced imprisonment. Against this decision of the Assembly, a full bench of the Allahabad High Court, meaning a bench of 28 judges, was constituted; it not only stayed the sentence but also ordered the imprisonment of the Assembly Speaker along with the Chief Minister. All this happened on the orders of Prime Minister Nehru ji. The Assembly was intent on sending all the judges to jail when the then President Radhakrishnan sought the opinion of the Supreme Court under Article 143 of the Constitution, whose hearing began on that very day, 19 June 1964, under the leadership of Chief Justice Gajendragadkar by the constitutional bench..."

also look at the quality of journalism, where the article is just quotes mohan bhagwat with no attempt to fact-check.

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

And we are supposed to believe that this veterinarian knows more than top scholars and historians about the subject. What nonsense.

[Sharon @stridewallops]

Shameless rewriting of history considering the Mughals won.

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Udaipur: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat attends the 450th anniversary celebrations of the Haldighati victory. He says: “The programme for the 450th year of the Haldighati battle was scheduled for this day, so I had to come a day earlier...Today is Maharana Pratap’s birth anniversary. Yesterday marked 450 years since the Haldighati battle. Why did the victory in the Haldighati battle happen? Because Maharana Pratap was born. Today is the reason for yesterday. We must understand this. In the Haldighati battle, it was the victory of Maharana Pratap. It was the victory of those who fought on the side of India—this is very clear.”

@vinayaravind This ONE decision is bad and so doesn't need any accountability from the government which hasn't made ANY other mistakes ever.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

This is honestly a national shame and what happens when successive governments have stripped down a public institution like CBC and sold it for parts. We should just nationalize Hockey Night in Canada.

[James Kelly @JamesKelly]

This tweet should result in the end of Tapp's career. No politician with a shred of decency or integrity asks a question that his own government has made it illegal to answer.

[Birender Dhanoa @bsdhanoa]

Mr Desai very effectively describes the Indian Inefficiency Economy, which sells consumption to the Indian consumer
that makes up for value lost and pretends to sell value addition, which it does not. Worth a read.

[Jason Toney @jasontoney_]

The Palestine Exception often means dogged persistence is required for the most rudimentary corrections.

To make structural changes to the way stories are framed demands challenging power structures themselves, not merely editors.

[ergopraxis.bsky.social @ergo_praxis]

btw few will appreciate how grimly funny it is that this judge both issued a gagging order so that the filton 4 could not explain their motivation to the jury, and then also sentenced them according to a specific intent provision requiring them to have had a specific motivation

[Sharon @stridewallops]

There is no way the Jesse Brown I used to listen to could look at the Free Press' output (hateful, juvenile) and use it to validate Bari Weiss' claims to journalistic success and integrity.

Zionism rots brains, people!

[Sharon @stridewallops]

This guy's podcast was the place for discussion of journalism in Canada. And now here he is, fully backing Bari Weiss and acting like she is a serious journalist / news honcho as opposed to someone who was parachuted in by billionaires to make sure the party line is upheld.

[Jesse Brown @JesseBrown]

The knives are out again for @bariweiss for "destroying" 60 minutes.

Seems the show was destroying itself well before she was put in charge.

Not surprising she'd need to make big changes.

[Sharon @stridewallops]

The Jesse Brown of even 5 years ago would have had a field day with the fact that Bari Weiss's journalism experience is mostly opinion-related, not investigative. For someone with NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND to be given the helm of one of the biggest news organizations in the US?

[Sharon @stridewallops]

@supurasensei The larger problem is that andhbhakts will look at this photo (as they look at anything modi does) and see absolutely nothing wrong.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Again to be clear they stopped counting deaths at 800,000 in December 2025. It is well over a million now

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.

History's first trillionaire.

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries
