Content warning: distressing scenes of violence Tonight Amnesty have awarded Channel 4 News @channel4news Best Broadcast Feature at the Amnesty Media Awards 2026 for this powerful report. This feature follows the story of Saeed al-Amour, a Palestinian farmer, whose leg was amputated after being shot by illegal settlers while he tended to his olive groves in the occupied West Bank’s Masafer Yatta. Just four days ago, Saeed was arrested and detained by Israeli forces after another confrontation with settlers on his land. This is what apartheid looks like. Saeed’s story is the story of millions of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank: state-backed settler attacks, home demolitions, and a legal system that penalises Palestinians while shielding Israeli settlers from accountability. Israel is rapidly expanding settlements across the occupied West Bank. But it is going underreported. It is vital that journalists continue to expose human rights abuses.

@harryjsisson Thank you - can't believe I have to come to Twitter to get a full transcription... not like it's long: what is wrong with the Media, always hide stuff from us

BREAKING: Note allegedly written by Epstein before his first suicide attempt has been released after being obtained by the NYT. “They investigated me for a month - found nothing!!! So 16 year old charge results. It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye. Whatcha want me to do - burst out cryin! No fun - NOT WORTH IT!”

@konstructivizm I think the relative scales in the image a bit off 😛

Black Hole @konstructivizm · 21h Mind-Blowing Scale of the Universe: From Earth to Cosmic Giants Prepare to have your sense of scale completely shattered. Let’s climb the cosmic ladder, one jaw-dropping step at a time. The Sun Our home star is already absurdly huge. ≈ 1.3 million Earths could fit inside its volume. It’s so large that if Earth were the size of a pea, the Sun would be a sphere over 1.5 meters across. Yet for all its immensity, the Sun is just an average star. Sagittarius A* At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy lurks a supermassive black hole with a gravitational grip nothing can escape. ≈ 4.3 million Suns could fit inside its event horizon’s volume. This invisible monster is 26,000 light-years away, yet its presence shapes the orbits of stars whipping around it at mind-bending speeds. From Earth-sized to Sun-sized… now multiply by millions. Stephenson 2-18 And then there’s this absolute monster — one of the largest stars ever discovered in our galaxy. Roughly 2,000+ Sagittarius A* could fit inside its enormous volume. That’s right — this single red supergiant is so colossal that it dwarfs even the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center. If placed at the Sun’s position, its surface would stretch beyond the orbit of Saturn.From a planet we can walk across… to a star that could swallow millions of Suns… to a hypergiant so vast it makes black holes look small by comparison.The universe doesn’t just break our intuition of size — it obliterates it. And these are just objects within our own galaxy.

I'm reluctantly posting on X again because the world needs to read this. My daughter Zoe Rogers gave her own closing speech at the Filton trial, as did 4 other defendants, while their barristers looked on. This is what she said 🧵 1/

Israeli Quadcopter drones were used in Gaza to emit the sound of a baby crying. When people rushed to help what they thought was a baby suffering, they were shot. This is what the Filton 24 did to one of those Quadcopter drones.

20 Super Fun Facts About Our Greatest Ally, Israel: 1. Lehi (Stern Gang) Truman Assassination Attempt (1947): Militant Zionist group mailed a letter bomb to President Truman. Fortunately, the plan was foiled when White House staff defused it. 2. Operation Cast Thy Bread (1948): Israeli forces poisoned wells in Gaza and Palestinian villages to prevent Arab return. 3.

Pro-Israel PAC Funding of Congress: Over 83% of US Congress members receive major donations from Pro-Israel PACs. Many sitting members even list them as their top contributor. 6. Record Pro-Israel Donations to Trump (2024): Pro-Israel donors gave over $230 million (largest single contribution in history), including $100M+ from Miriam Adelson. 7. USS Liberty Attack (1967): Israeli jets and torpedo boats deliberately struck the unarmed US Navy ship in international waters for over an hour, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171. 8. NUMEC Uranium Diversion (1960s): Hundreds of pounds of highly enriched uranium vanished from a Pennsylvania plant and was diverted to Israel’s Dimona reactor via Zionist-linked insiders. 9. Project Pinto Nuclear Smuggling: Israel used Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan (with Netanyahu at the front company) to smuggle 800 nuclear bomb triggers out of the US. 10.

Maldives Israel Entry Ban Backlash (2024-2025): Maldives banned Israeli citizens in solidarity with Palestine; the country immediately began receiving threats of terrorist attacks.

🚨 NOW: There is a massive escalation in the area of the Christian village of Taybeh in the West Bank, Israeli settlers set up a new outpost meters away from Palestinian houses and have essentially put the compound under siege. Here's what happened in the past 24 hours:

For the first time since the 1967 occupation, Israel is expelling an entire Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem. The Silwan area, located near the "Holy Basin," the Temple Mount, and al-Aqsa Mosque, is home to many archaeological and historical sites of exceptional significance. As of April 2026, approximately 1,800 residents in Silwan are under threat of expulsion, after hundreds have already been uprooted and left homeless in the past two years. In Baten al-Hawa alone, 33 families have already been expelled, and 53 additional families, including 130 children, face a similar fate. In al-Bustan, Israel has already demolished 48 homes and plans to demolish the homes of 123 more families, which will lead to the expulsion of approximately 1,450 people. The expulsion in Silwan is part of a policy of ethnic cleansing throughout the entire West Bank. Link to the full article >> btselem.org/jerusalem/2026…

American activist Hannah Claire Smith, who was aboard a Global Sumud Flotilla vessel when Israeli forces illegally intercepted the convoy in international waters near Crete on Wednesday night, is calling on Americans and international audiences to demand the release of two of her colleagues abducted and transferred to Israeli custody. The two are Thiago de Avila, a Brazilian national, and Saif Abukeshek, a Spanish-Swedish national with Palestinian ID. Both were separated from other passengers and, according to their legal representatives, beaten, blindfolded, and held in isolation for days at sea before being transferred to an Israeli prison, where they remain in detention. More than 200 other participants were eventually released. Legal advocates say the seizure, which took place roughly 80 nautical miles west of Crete, far from Israeli waters, had no basis in international law. 🎥 via hannah.claire.smith (IG)

"THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR" @ChrisHelali, holding shrapnel from a missile that killed an entire Iranian family except for one child, has a message for the American people. Follow Press TV on Telegram: t.me/PressTV

@Jvnior Our greatest ally did this.....🤬

‘I can reel off the names of children who died... because we couldn't feed them’ Dr. @maynard_nick talks about heartbreaking moments in Gaza where kids made it through surgery, but then still died bcz basic food and nutrition were blocked by Israel.

@DropSiteNews @MaryKostakidis It looks like he actually pushed her intentionally diagonally so that her head would hit the edge of the protruding large square over the pavement?

⚠️ Horrific CCTV footage shows a Catholic nun violently assaulted in Jerusalem’s Old City this week by a “Jewish extremist” who shoved her from behind, slamming her onto the pavement before repeatedly kicking her. A bystander eventually intervened, stopping the attack and helping her escape. Details linked below.

More than 200 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla who were seized at sea by Israeli forces and taken to the Greek island of Crete were released earlier today, with photos showing visible injuries including bruising, cuts, and swelling; participants say they were beaten and abused in custody.

An Israeli settler attacked a Christian nun in Jerusalem. Any comment from Christian zionists?

🚨 CNN "experts" say Iran’s disdain for the US is because “they hate our way of life.” Ex-MSNBC host @JoyAnnReid wasn’t having it. She schooled the panel on the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Tehran: The one that overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized Iran’s oil. Installed the Shah’s brutal dictatorship. Sparked decades of resentment. Delivered the 1979 Revolution. That “disdain”? It’s called blowback. Not “they hate our freedom.” They remember what we did to their freedom. Media: stop the gaslighting. Start with history. 📷 💥

IBM has released three new non-reasoning Granite 4.1 models (30B, 8B, 3B) as open weights under Apache 2.0. All three are notably token-efficient relative to peer non-reasoning models, with the 8B standing out for its token efficiency relative to intelligence @IBM has released three new instruct models in the Granite 4.1 family: Granite 4.1 30B (15 on the Intelligence Index), Granite 4.1 8B (12), and Granite 4.1 3B (9). The release continues IBM's focus on small, efficient, and open models for enterprise and edge deployment, alongside the existing Granite 4.0 Nano family (1B and 350M variants released in October 2025). The Intelligence Index is the Artificial Analysis synthesis metric incorporating 10 evaluations covering agentic tasks, coding, and scientific reasoning. Key benchmarking results: ➤ All three Granite 4.1 models score 61 on the Artificial Analysis Openness Index, standing out among peer open weights non-reasoning models. This is driven by full open weights under Apache 2.0 plus partial disclosures across pre-training data, post-training data, and training methodology. Granite 4.1 sits well above peers like Qwen3.5 (39), Gemma 4 (39) and GLM-4.7-Flash (44), and represents a meaningful improvement over the Granite 4.0 family (56), driven by stronger methodology disclosure. Olmo 3.1 and K2 Think V2 (both 89) remain leaders as the most ‘open’ models. ➤ Granite 4.1 8B uses just 4M output tokens to run the Intelligence Index. This is ~20x fewer than Qwen3.5 9B (78M tokens), ~3x fewer than Ministral 3 8B (13M), and ~2x fewer than Gemma 4 E4B (8M). The pattern holds across the family: Granite 4.1 30B uses 4.6M output tokens (vs 7M for Gemma 4 31B and 25M for Qwen3.5 27B), and Granite 4.1 3B uses 2.7M. ➤ Token efficiency comes at the cost of intelligence relative to peer non-reasoning models. Granite 4.1 30B (15) trails leading peers like Qwen3.5 27B (37) and Gemma 4 31B (32). Granite 4.1 8B (12) trails Ministral 3 8B (15) and Gemma 4 E4B (15). Granite 4.1 3B (9) trails Gemma 4 E2B (12). ➤ Granite 4.1 30B and 3B both gain on the Intelligence Index over their Granite 4.0 predecessors. Granite 4.1 30B (15) gains 4 points over Granite 4.0 H Small (32B / 9B active, 11), with the largest gains in tool use (τ²-Bench: 42% vs 17%) and agentic tasks (GDPval-AA: 493 vs 344 Elo). Granite 4.1 3B (9) gains 1 point over Granite 4.0 Micro (8). Other information: ➤ License: Apache 2.0 (open weights, permissive commercial use) ➤ Context window: 128K tokens ➤ Availability: Granite 4.1 8B is available via @WandB ($0.05/$0.1 per 1M input/output tokens) and @replicate. Weights for all three models are available via @huggingface.

Must Watch. Every word.

Al Jazeera exposes an Israeli company called "Generative Al for Good" that is creating entirely fake videos of Iranian women as victims of state oppression. Trump shared Al-generated photos of Iranian women, claiming they were about to be executed until he saved them. But in reality those women were never exist When you can't find real victims to justify your war, just invent them. And when you can't invent enough, use Al to scale the lie

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.
