Satellite imagery analysis corroborates whistleblowers' testimony exposing widespread greenwashing across the Philippines’ national reforestation program. Davao Today, @thibico.bsky.social and Lighthouse prove instead of restoring forests, it’s often fueling deforestation. 🧵

#NoOtherLand Palaistinian co-director Hamdan Ballal was attacked and injured by a group of Israeli settlers, then abducted by IDF from the ambulance he'scalled to get medical treatment. Co-director Yuval Abraham says there has been no sign of Hamdan since. Another reminder of what #apartheid is.

Μετά από πολλά χρόνια βλέπω ξανά στα social media feed μου οδηγίες και νομικές συμβουλές για εργαζόμενους που θέλουν να απεργήσουν την Παρασκευή. Άλλο ένα δείγμα πως θα έχουμε τεράστια συμμετοχή και στην απεργία, πέρα από τις διαδηλώσεις.

Με αγάπη για την #Παλαιστίνη ❤️‍🔥 For the Love of #Palestine
Αγάπη είναι αντίσταση, αφοσίωση, αγώνας για ελευθερία.
Ένα 3ήμερο στο Τριανόν γεμάτο ταινίες, ιστορίες, εξαιρετικούς καλεσμένους από την ομάδα του Athens Palestine Film Festival.

The #shipwreck near #Gavdos #Crete #Greece last Saturday 14/12 is becoming one of the most tragic and deadly ones.

The death toll has risen to 7, with 36 people still missing (!), according to the Deputy Mayor of Chania. Search efforts continue.

Over a year, we collected & analyzed data on drowning deaths along Texas' stretch of the US/Mexico border on the Rio Grande

Yesterday our collaborative investigation went out on the front covers of @washingtonpost.com + @eluniversalmx.bsky.social @lhreports.bsky.social

Lighthouse Reports, in partnership with The Washington Post & El Universal, spent a year collecting data from every Texas county & Mexican state along the Rio Grande. We found at least 1,107 people drowned crossing the river from 2017 to 2023, a figure significantly higher than previously reported.

Γιόρτασα με τον Χιλιανό πρόσφυγα φίλο μου τη μέρα που πέθανε ο Πινοτσέτ. Δεν θα ξεχάσω το χαμόγελό του. Σήμερα γιορτάζω με τον Σύρο φίλο μου την κατάρρευση του Άσαντ. Και σκέφτομαι τους Σύρους πρόσφυγες που έχω συναντήσει, που μου μίλησαν για τα τραύματα και την πατρίδα τους. Θα χαμογελάνε σήμερα.

Thinking today of Syrian friends & so many other amazing Syrians met over the last decade on the reporting trail. Hard to comprehend the scale of damage wrought by the despicable and belatedly deposed Assads

New from me on what the rage and glee on public display after the killing of a healthcare CEO portends.

I suspect the corporate world will respond with more security and retreating even more into their gated lives.

They would be advised to read up on history.

I read about the umpteenth overblown research results on chatbots being better than doctors (just irresponsible from publications like the NYT)

This very useful starter pack came my way right after, so there’s that at least.

Partners @ Centre for Information Resilience’s Afghan Witness project found 1/3 of the total area demolished impacted informal settlements.Typically home to Internally Displaced Persons & Afghans returning from neighbouring countries, these settlements house some of Afghanistan’s poorest communities

Land clearance in Kabul | Afghan Witness

Our partners Afghan Witness collected & geolocated 50 videos of demolitions & confirmed w/ satellite imagery. We spoke to a dozen people evicted; with residents telling us of homes demolished w/ children still inside www.afghanwitness.org/reports/land...

The Taliban-run Kabul municipality says they are combating land grabbing, helping displaced ppl return and investing in infrastructure. But we found a darker reality: violent evictions leaving families homeless & without compensation
