Israel has shot and wounded a child in the neck while she was inside her family’s tent south of Khan Younis.

The Ecuadorian military—which last year was found guilty of burning, killing, and mutilating 4 Black boys—are captured on video abusing another Black child, threatening to “cut off his finger.” There’s no fucking way to report on this narco-regime without wanting to burn it down.

Multiple cities in Brazil including São Paulo and Salvador which both went for Lula in the first round are reporting having significant parts of their public transport system taken offline as part of vote suppression tactics by pro Bolsonaro politicians
Alexander Aviña retweeted
It's the little things as well as the big things bedevilling this Brazilian election. In addition to the brazen bias of Zuckerberg and Musk, the city of São Paulo has kept a quarter of its buses in the depot, making it more difficult for those without cars to vote.
URGENTE - A prefeitura de São Paulo mantém 29% da frota de ônibus municipais estaciona nas garagens neste momento.
Justiça já tinha mandado, ontem, ter 100% da frota na rua. Está sendo descumprindo

For the second time today, Israel has bombed a university in Gaza, just as students were finally returning to their classrooms after months of devastation. Many students and university staff have been killed or injured.
Israel is determined to destroy even that hope, continuing its systematic destruction of education in Gaza.
The long South Florida tradition of supporting violent, revanchist paramilitaries & mobsters
Brazil’s choice today will echo far beyond its borders.
The Brazilian people are choosing what kind of country they want to leave their children: one shaped by socialism, or one built on freedom, security and opportunity.
I stand with Flávio Bolsonaro and with every Brazilian making their voice heard today.
A stronger, freer Brazil means a stronger, freer hemisphere.
Que Deus abençoe o Brasil! 🇧🇷
“Enough silence! We, the mothers of Gaza, are dying inside as we watch our children go hungry and be deprived of their most basic rights. Don’t we have the right to eat? Don’t our children have the right to live?”
💔 Enough silence! We, the mothers of Gaza, are dying inside as we watch our children go hungry and be deprived of their most basic rights. Don’t we have the right to eat? Don’t our children have the right to live? How much longer must we endure this pain while we cry out and no one hears us? 💔🥺

“My heart is heavy with worry. I struggle to provide food and medicine for my family while facing circumstances that no family should ever have to endure.
But I cannot give up. I will keep trying to provide for my family, no matter how difficult each day becomes.”

🚨💔 Please don’t ignore my family’s suffering in Gaza. My sick son Tim urgently needs treatment, and my children need food amid skyrocketing prices and desperate circumstances.
🙏 Please help us survive. Every donation matters.

A source of income and joy destroyed by the occupation, please help Amjad if you can

💔 THIS WAS OUR ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME… NOW IT’S NOTHING BUT RUBBLE. 🇵🇸
This is what remains of our gym club, the only source of income that helped us provide for our family. Everything we worked so hard to build was destroyed, and our home was also reduced to rubble.
For three years, we have been struggling to survive in a worn-out tent that offers little protection from the scorching summer heat or the winter cold. Our children face hunger, extreme weather, and unbearable living conditions every day. 💔
🙏PLEASEDONATE🔗(chuffed.org/project/support-…)
PAYPAL🔗(paypal.me/Amjadfromgaza)
We urgently need your support to provide food and clean water for our family and repair our damaged tent before winter gets worse.
Every donation, no matter how small, can bring us hope and help us survive these difficult days. Please stand with us and don’t let our suffering be forgotten. ❤️🩹🫂

With great sorrow, Al-Anqa Library, which rose from the ashes and soared, is on the verge of closing due to exorbitant operating costs—rent, electricity, water, and internet. I have all hope in you to support the library so that it may continue.
Do not let the phoenix return to the ashes; do not let this place, which serves as a sanctuary for all poets, writers, and readers in Gaza, be closed.
Please help us keep going. Please donate and share the campaign.

"Nothing of his children remains except a school bag."
Alexander Aviña retweeted
Folks, this is not a “rescue” operation El Salvador is conducting in Haiti — that’s a narrative for domestic consumption. The US is again outsourcing to El Salvador — like it did on immigration. US frustration with GSF and Haitian gov has been building for months. This is an end around.
