It's time to hold these companies and governments to account. accessnow.org/government-spy…

👮‍♂️« On l’a défoncé, mais le mec il sentait rien c’était ouf ». Quatre ans après l’agression de Michel Zecler, @davidperrotin poursuit ses révélations en publiant des messages qui pulvérisent la version des policiers.👇 mediapart.fr/journal/france…

Sadly, not surprising. I guess the same goes for adults too

Businesses supplying, enabling or profiting from war must no longer be allowed the privilege to look away. @marwasf from @accessnow on tech sector responsibilities in Israel's war on Gaza 🎥 youtube.com/watch?v=CnS3Rp… #BHRspeakerseries

There are a lot of major news stories happening right now. To support you to talk about the news with children, join our free training: Talking about the news and looking after children's wellbeing Tuesday 8 October, 4pm, presented with @PSHEassociation …ingaboutnewsnewswise.eventbrite.co.uk

the full clip is even worse. So many contradictions… #help

I’m lost for words… ignorant comments completely disconnected from the reality of families in the UK + suggesting policies bad for the economy… 🫠🤦🏽‍♀️

@JessyDiandra yep. c’est consternant

@melodypatry On est d’accord ! Le spectre a tellement glissé vers la droite que le socialisme de BASE d’il y a 30 ans serait placé dans l’extrême gauche aujourd’hui.

Sauf que cette soi-disant neutralité finit TOUJOURS par profiter au même extrême donc à un moment il va falloir assumer d’être TOUJOURS complices de l’inacceptable.

The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it. Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp. But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now. We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial. Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer. We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.

Profs de @sciencespo soutiennent les étudiants et dénoncent la couverture médiatique biaisée : “Sur le fond, rien de plus normal, dit Jacques Généreux , à ce que les élèves s’engagent contre le massacre des Gazaouis. “On parle d’un drame mondial et historique. Heureusement que notre jeunesse se révolte !” Il n’y a “aucune insulte antisémite, ni violence”. “Il y avait juste une rangée de CRS casqués.” Laurent Gayer évoque des « échanges riches et matures » : « Jamais je n’ai senti la moindre tension communautaire entre les étudiants ! » “Depuis la guerre du Viêt Nam, les étudiants ont toujours été à la « pointe du combat contre l’injustice, abonde Bertrand Badie, qui a exercé quarante ans à Sciences Po. Ils sont plus sensibles aux souffrances du monde que d’autres catégories sociales, plus repliées sur leur quotidien.”

Solidarité aux étudiants de Sciences Po qui se mobilisent contre le génocide. Une école où est enseigné le cours “Génocides et violences de masse” dont auraient bien besoin certain.e.s dirigeant.e.s qui semblent avoir oublié tous leurs cours de droit international.

@vpecresse @sciencespo cette decision est une honte. Aux Etats Unis, ce sont les politiciens d’extrême droite qui proposent aussi de couper les subventions aux universités dont les étudiants se mobilisent pour dénoncer un génocide qui compte déjà plus de 15000 enfants tués.

J’ai décidé de suspendre tous les financements de la Région destinés à @sciencespo tant que la sérénité et la sécurité ne seront pas rétablies dans l’école. Une minorité de radicalisés appelant à la haine antisémite et instrumentalisés par la LFI et ses alliés islamo-gauchistes, ne peuvent pas dicter leur loi à l’ensemble de la communauté éducative. La Région @iledefrance défend le droit à des débats libres, éclairés et respectueux au sein de l’université francaise, conformes aux valeurs universelles d’humanisme qu’elle porte, et qui sont au coeur de notre pacte républicain. Face aux renoncements de la direction, la Région appelle à un sursaut d’autorité.

THREAD: 1. Anatomy of a genocide sketched out. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Acclaimed author Michelle Alexander says the destruction of Gaza, police violence, climate change and more, are all “existential crises that we face because we have persisted in treating people and all of creation as exploitable and disposable, unworthy of our care and concern.”

All the bots and fake news websites in the world cannot cause as much damage as these betrayals, which have a far more enduring impact than foreign influence operations. Therefore, it is vital to put an end to such deception and cease protecting those who engage in it.

@lawyerpants @DougMadory @accessnow @Hamzoz @olutron @btayeg wow! such great news!

Yesterday Iraqi Ministry of Comm refused a request from Ministry of Edu to impose an internet blackout during upcoming final exams as part of efforts to prevent cheating. #KeepItOn This is progress @lawyerpants @accessnow kurdistan24.net/en/story/31453…

What's interesting about this article - perhaps telling - is that it makes zero effort to even try to explain what the European Convention on Human Rights is. No explanation whatsoever.

Starting day 2 at #SXSW2023 with a panel about disinformation defenses in Ukraine, the evolution of russian propaganda narratives during the 🇷🇺 invasion of #Ukraine, the role of memes in the informational war. Thank you @melodypatry @GalynaPetrenko @BrandyZadrozny @BostonJoan!
