@FarhatNadia25 @grok is this photo real or AI?

Again 😡

And there it is: the point of bringing baseless defamation lawsuits is not to actually win them, but to intimidate people into not saying anything critical. This is why we need tough anti-SLAPP statutes nationwide that punish people who sue just to try to shut others up.

“We stand in solidarity with Palestinian calls for public broadcasters, performers, screening party organisers, crew, and fans to boycott Eurovision until the EBU bans complicit Israeli broadcaster KAN," the letter stated. 1,000-plus artists, including Paul Weller, Massive Attack, and Paloma Faith, have signed an open letter - organised by No Music for Genocide and the BDS movement - calling on fans and artists to boycott Eurovision.

#Lebanon is facing two key challenges: restoring state control over arms and protecting its territorial integrity. Buffer zones, military zones are misnomers/ they are occupied #Lebanese territory. @TarekMitri @DelphiEconForum

في الطيري، صحافية مصابة، إسعاف مُستهدف، وبحث مستمر عن زميلة محاصرة. حين يُستهدف الإعلام والإنقاذ معاً، فهذه جريمة بلا أي التباس، والصمت شراكة. #لبنان

Lebanon’s information minister says Israel is “besieging journalists” in southern Lebanon, and is calling for their immediate protection and holding Israel responsible for their safety. Al Jazeera’s @heidipett reports from Tyre, southern Lebanon.

Donald's DOJ is now going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization dedicated to taking down white supremacist groups like the KKK. That's how bad it is.

BREAKING: Israel dropped bombs on civilians in Al-Tiri, South Lebanon, killing 2 people, and is besieging 2 female journalists — Amal Khalil and Zaynab Faraj. They’re throwing stun grenades at ambulances attempting to reach them. In what universe is this a “ceasefire”?

We, as Lebanese people, waited anxiously for the ceasefire, holding on to the hope that it would finally bring some stability. Yet once again, we are confronted with a reality that falls far short of those expectations. In just three days, from 17 April to 19 April (noon), 220 ceasefire violations were recorded. These included 7 aerial strikes, 52 artillery shelling incidents, 50 detonations and acts of destroying infrastructure, 15 cases of machine gun fire, and 30 overflights by military and reconnaissance aircraft—even over Beirut. These violations have led to the killing of 3 people and the injury of 7 others, including 4 paramedics. Such repeated violations serve as a painful reminder that the Israeli army does not uphold its commitments, leaving us facing the same uncertainty we had hoped to escape. @NCNE_Lebanon

🚨BREAKING🚨Israeli forces are now issuing direct death threats to Lebanese journalists on WhatsApp as well as besieging them. Al-Akhbar correspondent @AmalKhalil83, who has been documenting the devastation across southern Lebanon, received these messages from an Israeli number (+972 54-869-5113): “We know where you are… we will reach you… leave if you want to keep your head on your shoulders.” First message: “Alright, my lady, you are moving from one village to another, but you still haven’t gone to enough funerals or hospitals. There is a lot of grief & sorrow behind that smile you try to show on Twitter. Let’s see what your answer will be… Is your house still standing, Anisa (Miss)? I hope so?” Second message: “We know where you are & we will reach you when the time comes. Even though you are not important to us, in the end we will take everything into account. I suggest you flee to Qatar or somewhere else if you want to keep your head connected to your shoulders :)” This is not intimidation. This is the IDF issuing an explicit death threat to a journalist for covering their crimes. At the same time, Israeli forces besieged Amal al-Khalil & journalist Zeinab Faraj in al-Tayri, blocking the Red Cross & Lebanese Army from reaching them. They were in a delegate vehicle when a drone strike hit a vehicle behind them, killing two people. Both journalists were trapped at the scene. Amal contacted the Red Cross before her phone died. Her last message confirmed she was still safe. Rescue teams still cannot reach the two besieged journalists, Amal al-Khalil & Zeinab Faraj. They are just 500 meters away, but the road has been cut off by an Israeli strike, according to Red Cross paramedics. This is targeting journalists in real time. This is a crime. Pure state terrorism against the press.

SCOOP: A report showing the effectiveness of the covid-19 vaccine that was previously delayed by the head of the CDC has now been blocked from being published in the agency’s flagship scientific journal, per sources. My latest. washingtonpost.com/health/2026/04…

MIKE JOHNSON IS JUST PURE EVIL Yesterday he ordered the arrest of veterans who were protesting the Iran war. They were hoping to meet with the Speaker- to present him with a folded flag in honor of the 13 US servicemembers killed. Instead of a meeting, Johnson had them handcuffed and detained. Your Thoughts?

Yea we joke about the double standard in the media, but this is legitimately insane.

After Emiratis made huge investments in Trump business ventures, he proposes to give the United Arab Emirates a big bailout even while the UAE arms the genocidal Rapid Support Forces in Sudan. trib.al/mPhvpE7

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Ana Kasparian reveals that Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, was literally Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign manager. This is a HUGE problem.

"A new poll conducted April 10-14 finds 55% of U.S. adults say the House should vote to impeach Trump. 37% oppose, 8% are unsure. A surprising percentage of Republicans and Trump’s 2024 voters say they would support impeachment if a vote were held today." open.substack.com/pub/gelliottmo…

To be clear: Trump’s FBI is going after the Southern Poverty Law Center because they infiltrated and exposed the same dangerous right-wing extremist groups that many Trump allies are associated with.

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

⚡JUST IN - According to a Guardian, no settler or soldier has been charged for killing Palestinians between 2020 and 2025, a period during which over 1,100 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank

It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon. In the West Bank since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have: Killed 1,071 Palestinians Demolished 6,000+ homes Built 200+ illegal outposts No more U.S. military aid to Israel.
