In 1999, British Gas estimated 1.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 1.7 billion barrels of oil off Gaza’s coast. Palestinians have seen none of it. If Israel fully seizes Gaza, depopulates it, and annexes it, it takes the resources. Just like it already did with the West Bank’s Meged field. This is textbook colonialism: seize the land, strip the resources, leave the indigenous population with nothing. The same playbook used on Native Americans, push them to barren lands, dangle crumbs, lock them out of wealth. In Gaza and the West Bank, ethnic cleansing is only one layer of the design, beneath it lies resource theft, executed through genocide and openly backed by Washington, London, Berlin, and other Western capitals. And unless stopped, the “final solution” long envisioned by Zionism, the erasure of the Palestinian people, will be completed under the cover of war. The shadow of this genocide will destroy Zionism itself. But only if the world wakes up, fights the system enabling it, and exposes the governments complicit in every airstrike, blockade, and stolen barrel.

Ukrainian children are being displayed online like products. This must stop! The Russian occupation administration has launched a chilling online catalog of Ukrainian orphans, displayed openly on the web. These children are presented like products in an e-commerce store, sortable by age, gender, eye and hair color, health status, and even personality traits. Their faces are shown in clear, uncovered photos, with no evidence that consent was obtained from legal guardians to share this sensitive information. This isn’t a new tactic. Since 2014, Ukrainian children have appeared in Russian adoption databases. However, since 2022, the practice has become widespread and systematic. Initially, Russian authorities tried to cover their tracks—shutting down registries and erasing references. Now, the pretense is gone. The official website of the so-called "ministry" of the Luhansk occupation administration brazenly displays this data for all to see. These children are not “war orphans.” They had names, families, and Ukrainian citizenship. Many lost their parents to shelling. Others were forcibly taken and re-registered with new documents. Now, they’re being matched with Russian families, treated like animals in a pet adoption database. Let’s be clear: This is not adoption. This is not care. This is digital child trafficking, masked as bureaucracy. President putin shows no willingness to return these children—but he’s eager to exploit them for "trading". He has streamlined the adoption process so drastically that a Ukrainian child can now be effectively “ordered” online. With a single click, a child is stripped of their identity, issued a russian passport, and subjected to ideological control. Worse still, this platform exposes children to grave dangers, including: - Sexual and labor exploitation - Human trafficking - Illegal adoption - Forced changes to their name, citizenship, language, and cultural identity - Lifelong psychological trauma - Potential trafficking for organ harvesting We have archived the website and secured the full database. We are working tirelessly to identify every child listed, and we won’t stop until they are brought home. At @SaveukraineUs , we’ve rescued over 750 children. We’ve seen their faces, witnessed their fear, and heard their heartbreaking words: “I thought no one would come for me.” But this crisis is bigger than any single organization. It’s a challenge to the entire world. We urgently call on: ❗️ Governments to pressure russia to return these children and bring them home. ❗️ International organizations to recognize these acts as crimes against humanity. ❗️ Media to expose the grim reality of “adoption” under occupation. ❗️ Individuals to speak out and refuse to look away. No child should be reduced to a clickable profile. No child should be stolen, renamed, or raised to forget their identity. Join us in bringing them home. Help us safeguard their future.

@TOrynski It's no exaggeration that this platform has sunk to depths that nobody using twitter in, say, 2016 could have ever even conceived of.

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, I started to get those messages from porn bots more often. But it was still like once in two-three weeks on average. This is how many of them I got so far this year:

@TOrynski @bmarganiec Tak na chłopski rozum, to takie stare budziki które działały jak dwa dzwonki rowerowe uderzane przez metalowy dzyndzel od środka, też wydają swego rodzaju wibracje stojąc np. na nakastliku. Czy by to kogoś obudziło to sam nie wiem. Bardzo ciekawe pytanie 🤔

@bmarganiec mówiłeś kiedyś że nie ma głupich pytań... To jak to jest? Dzisiaj są pewnie jakieś Smart watche z wibracjami itd, ale kiedyś?

I walked alongside English speaking father and kid today. There was a blind guy walking opposite way with his white stick. Kid was asking questions and dad was explaining to him that some people can't see and some people can't hear. The kid asked him "if they can't hear 1/2

@_JamieMcIntyre I use the wonderful @HLHArchives centre here in Inverness for book research, and came across some interesting entries in the school records for Embo (near Dornoch). 🧵

The top stories for exam results this year were falling pass rates and record-high attainment gaps at N5, Higher & Advanced Higher. But there are lots of other exam stats, so today I'm diving in for @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/news/24520748.…

@HighlandCouncil So many community interest companies fighting for the dregs at the bottom of the public funding barrel, while Summer Isles Enterprises Ltd (registered in Wiltshire) set the pace for their model village development, unhindered by waiting around for grants to come through. (8/8)

@HighlandCouncil Am I raging? Maybe I'm raging because community-owned estates have to fight tooth and nail to fund jobs in fragile rural economies, but if you have the wealth of the City behind you, you can pay people £150,000 to do cool stuff like drystone walling, pointing, pathbuilding. (7/8)

scotsman.com/heritage-and-r… Tanera Mòr appeared in the papers again, recently. Articles in previous years mentioned "superwealth sweeping into island" (1/8)

This is so alarming. If officers at @cne_siar can’t even admit the reality of the situation then we have a big problem. Now a minority language in the WI - what exactly is CNES doing to help outside Education?
