È successo di nuovo. Due veti di Viktor Orbàn hanno bloccato ancora le politiche europee: uno sul pacchetto da 90 miliardi di aiuti al popolo ucraino, l’altro sulle nuove sanzioni che l’UE aveva previsto per il regime di Putin. Il suo obiettivo? Il petrolio russo. L’oleodotto Druzhba, che collega proprio Russia e Ungheria, è infatti la principale fonte petrolifera del Paese. L’Europa non può più essere schiava dei giochi di potere degli autocrati, sulla pelle di un popolo che sta combattendo anche per la nostra libertà. Sì agli aiuti all’Ucraina. Sì alle nuove sanzioni alla Russia. No, ancora una volta, al diritto di veto. Una sola testa non può decidere per il futuro dell’Europa intera e della sua libertà.

Hamas militias continue their campaign against Palestinian activists abroad by targeting their families in Gaza. Hamas militias have summoned 65-year-old Salah Abed, the father of Palestinian activist Amin Abed, for interrogation. Salah Abed refused the summons and decided not to appear. His son, Amin, is a vocal critic of Hamas and was kidnapped by the group in 2024, during which he was nearly killed. The family is calling on all human rights organizations to intervene and stop Hamas’ campaign against them and other voices from Gaza.

In mezzo alla polarizzazione totale del dibattito pubblico, mi ha colpito un gesto semplice. Ieri il Ministro @GuidoCrosetto ha risposto all’invito per un caffè dell’ex Appuntato dei Carabinieri Luigi Bonelli, padre del leader dei Verdi, nel giorno del suo 102esimo compleanno. In un momento in cui vanno per la maggiore gli insulti (spesso gravissimi e vergognosi come quelli che ha ricevuto lo stesso @AngeloBonelli1 ), che questo gesto possa ricordarci che essere avversari non significa necessariamente essere nemici.

Seven-year-old Anwar al-Ashi died this morning from acute kidney failure after Israeli approval to leave Gaza for urgent medical treatment abroad never came. He is one of thousands of patients trapped in Gaza, waiting for life-saving care that remains out of reach.

Two disabled autistic boys were murdered by their parents in Australia. The parents then took their own lives. The family recently lost their government disability support. Cutting off support ends lives. Make noise for Leon & Otis Clune. These kids deserved better.

Ieri i droni russi 🇷🇺 (che poi sono Shaheed iraniani 🇮🇷) hanno ucciso 15 minatori a bordo di un bus a Dnipro 🇺🇦. Poi gli stessi droni hanno ferito 6 persone in un reparto maternità a Zaporizhzhia. Anche oggi non vedo manifestazioni o intellettuali contro i crimini di guerra in 🇺🇦

I know many things are happening but pls take a moment to read this: we are in full blackout in Kyiv, metro stopped, for the 1st time like this, power outages for the whole Ukraine, even in Moldova now too. all because of Russia bombing our power stations, and it’s -19 outside

Maher Tarabishi, age 62, was taken by ICE last October when he exited his immigration check-in appointment in Texas. He was the primary caregiver for his 30 year old son Wael, who suffers from a chronic muscular condition called Pompe disease. His father provided 24 hour care for many years. Wael died today, his family told me. Wael’s heath had been declining ever since his father’s detention. He never got to say goodbye to his father. Maher will never see his son again. Maher came to the United States in 1994. He is not a criminal. He paid taxes. He raised a family. He was attending his immigration check ins reliably. Now that family is destroyed. For what? If our government has any compassion, Maher Tarabishi should be released from detention now. He should be allowed to attend his son’s funeral. May Wael rest in peace. Is this what America has become? Is this what we want America to be? Spread the word: #FreeMaherTarabishi

Kyiv is under attack. First, the power went out. Now, the heating too. -12 °C outside. I want the world to know what russia does.

please don't forget about ukraine. we are still bombed every day. our houses razed to the ground. our electricity stations destroyed so we sit in darkness and cold. our children kidnapped and given to russian families. in occupied territories, russians take our homes.

People praise Ukrainians’ resilience as they party in snowy yards beneath freezing high-rise buildings. Obviously, people are doing their best to keep morale up and not go insane, but nobody should have to live like this. Those people should be comfortable in their warm homes.

I am a woman from a small village in northern Iran. Jailed for protesting. Beaten for showing my hair. Expelled from parliament for exposing their corruption. Forced into exile. My sister was paraded on state TV to publicly disown me. My brother was imprisoned as punishment. My mother was interrogated to stop her from expressing love for me. Assassins were sent to New York, three times, to kill me. And now I’m supposed to sit next to them at the U.N. Security Council. Thanks @USAmbUN for finally giving me a seat, so I can call out the regime, and the U.N. leadership that still legitimizes it. This is my full address to the UN Security Council about #IranRevoIution2026 and a massacre unfolding in Iran.

Mahsa Amini, 22, was beaten to death for showing her hair. Nika Shakarami, 16, was tortured and murdered in the back of a car for protesting Mahsa Amini’s death, before her body was thrown off a roof. Elaheh Hosseinnejad, 24, was raped and stabbed to death after opposing the regime on Instagram. Mohammad Ghobadlou, 23, who suffered from a mental health condition, was hanged after being denied his medication and a fair trial. The world already failed young Iranians in 2022. Don’t fail them again. SPEAK UP FOR IRAN.

I am so sick of atrocity denial and excuses for human rights violations. Protestors are being slaughtered in Iran. That is real. The genocide in Gaza is real. October 7th was real. You don't get to choose your facts, and by excusing some atrocities you excuse them all.

"My son, Leo, is autistic. He’s non-verbal and terrified of loud noises. Haircuts are a nightmare. We’ve been asked to leave three different salons because he screams when the clippers turn on. I walked into a small barbershop on 4th Street, ready for another disaster. 'He has autism,' I told the barber, a heavily tattooed guy named Mike. 'If he screams, we’ll leave.' Mike looked at Leo, who was hiding behind my leg. Mike didn't say a word. He walked over to the door and flipped the sign to 'Closed.' He turned off the music. He turned off the buzzing fluorescent lights. Then, he sat on the floor next to Leo. He pulled out a pair of scissors and a comb. He didn't force Leo into the chair. He cut his hair right there on the floor. He let Leo hold the comb. He stopped every time Leo flinched. It took an hour. Usually, a haircut takes 15 minutes. When he was done, Leo looked handsome. And he was smiling. I went to pay. 'How much extra for your time?' I asked, reaching for my wallet. Mike shook his head. 'No charge,' he said. 'He sat still better than most of my regular customers.' He handed Leo a lollipop. 'See you next month, buddy.' I walked out to the car and cried. In a world that demands we all fit in, thank God for the people who make room for those who stand out."

🚨MORE HORRIFIC DETAILS: Last night, a group of Hamas armed militants raided tents sheltering the Abu Ajina family, who were displaced from Beit Lahia and are now living in the Al-Baraka area south of Deir al-Balah. According to direct testimony from the family, the militants—identified as members of Hamas’s “Sahm” Unit—stormed the tents, fired shots into the air, and carried out verbal and physical assaults against civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, deliberately spreading fear and terror. The militants assaulted and abducted Rashed Mohammad Juma Abu Ajina (40), taking him to an unknown location without informing the family of any charges or place of detention. They also shot another civilian, Rani Warsh Agha, in the limbs and left him bleeding on the ground without medical assistance. Family members report that the abducted man had previously received direct threats because of his political views opposing Hamas policies, indicating a clear political motive behind the attack. The Abu Ajina family holds Hamas fully responsible for their son’s life and safety and demands his immediate and unconditional release. The family also calls on local and international human rights organizations, as well as international media, to urgently intervene, document the crime, and hold those responsible accountable.

Israel is forcing Doctors Without Borders & dozens of other humanitarian groups to end their work in Gaza. Countless innocent people rely on these services amid the ongoing crisis there. This is yet another cruel, inhumane step from the extremist Israeli government.

Palestinian writer Rasha Hilwi: "A government that kills its own people, that oppresses its own women, cannot liberate my people, cannot liberate me.” Rasha explains that since childhood, she was told the Islamic Republic of Iran stood with the Palestinian cause and would help liberate Palestinians. Now, she rejects that lie and stands with the Iranian people protesting against the criminal Islamic Republic. The Palestinian people do not stand with the criminal Islamic Republic; they stand with the brave Iranian people, demanding dignity, freedom, and justice—the very same rights Palestinians seek for themselves.
