Look at their faces. You can barely read their names and their age without breaking into tears.
The Islamic Republic is preparing to hang these innocent women and men.
Stopping these executions must be a global emergency. Every second counts.
Say their names. Stop the hangings NOW.

I never once remember a protest against Joe Biden like this. This is Boston. No Kings Protest.
Oh that’s right Joe Biden didn’t think he was a king. He just wanted to make America better for everyone.

After nearly three years under the rubble, Umm Jihad finally said goodbye to her sister and children in Gaza today. Their remains were among 75 recovered from destroyed homes in Daraj—mostly women and children. She asked what crime they had committed to spend so long buried, after already losing her mother and other family.

Can anyone remember the last time @BBCNews interviewed a Palestinian about their experience of the racism of Zionism? Having spent the last two weeks interviewing elderly Nakba survivors in Jordan, driven off their land in their teens because of their ethnicity and religion, I'd be happy to suggest some astonishingly articulate victims of Israeli racism who would be only too happy to tell their tragic stories of eviction, slaughter and dispossession. It is like reporting on the Civil Rights movement in the US and only interviewing outraged Whites

“[Saying] ‘Zionism is racism’ is offensive, it’s antisemitic and it’s dangerous”
Broadcaster Jo Coburn says she “watched in horror” as the Green Party passed its motion on Zionism and criticises leader Zack Polanski's defence in his #BBCLauraK interview

There has never, in our lifetimes, been a genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign that the genocidal ethnic cleaners have so openly bragged about doing.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Lebanon:
Look at what is happening in Lebanon.
Today, more than 60 villages in southern Lebanon, beginning with those adjacent to the border, and beyond that, throughout the entire security zone up to the Yellow Line, an area of 700 square kilometers, are destroyed.
All the villages have been wiped out. Twenty-three thousand houses, all destroyed, demolished.
I am not even talking about what is underground, about the tunnels. Everything has been destroyed.
There are no residents there. Two hundred thousand residents are outside.
This is the Gaza model. And this is the model we are implementing.

She was only four when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. Just turned six when Musk decided to join Trump on Putin’s side and help the Kremlin killers murder her

Israeli Defense Minister Katz on Lebanon:
'60 villages destroyed. 23,000 houses demolished. 200,000 residents gone. This is the Gaza model, and this is the model we are implementing.'
Just a Minister of Defense proudly listing the villages he erased and the 200,000 people he displaced
They've stopped hiding it

The meat industry tries very hard to keep cameras out of factory farms and slaughterhouses -- and a new undercover video shows why. Some day, our descendants will wonder about our collective blind spot to animal cruelty. A gift link to my column: nytimes.com/2026/10/17/opini…

🧵 I’m enormously grateful to Sally Rooney & I think what she’s done is to force the issue on Palestine Action in a way that has embarrassed the Government again & potentially forced them into a retreat. That’s how you use celebrity leverage. 1/9

The forensics expertise confirmed the death of five children of the Voronovi family who were previously considered missing after the russian ballistic missile attack in Radushne on July 30.
Rest in peace, innocent angels. Zakharii, Dominika, Viorika, Federika, and small Artem.
A russian ballistic missile, supplied by North Korea, killed the family of Voronovi last night, incl parents Olena and Artem, and three of their underage children: Mark, Azariy Ilai, and Emiliia. Other kids — Zakharii, Dominika, Viorika, Federika, and 18mo grandson Artem — are missing.
We mourn with the Voronovi family and the small village of Radushne. The entire Ukraine mourns this horrendous inhuman war crime. If only there were any way to ease their pain. This is unbearable.
Everyone who has supported or continues to support russia has our blood on their hands. Inaction is complicity too.

Israeli settlers are out of control, because the Israeli government allows them to be. And while attacks on diplomats or journalists command attention, as they should, this happens unnoticed to Palestinian farmers all the time.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.

We don’t use Starlink for our responses inside Russia. We use Starlink to intercept jet-powered “shaheds” that attack our civilians and kill families.
Starlink wasn’t turned off – its speed was reduced. And when the speed was reduced, we were unable to intercept a certain number of jet-powered “shaheds.” We couldn’t use a tool that helps protect people. That’s very painful and frustrating.
We also use Starlink for mid-range strikes against enemy military targets in our temporarily occupied territories. We couldn’t do that when the restrictions were in place. And third, what matters most is people. Our warriors, who spend weeks and months on the front line, receive food and water delivered by drones using Starlink.
Has the speed been fully restored to what it was before? No. Is it being restored now? Yes.
