45 civilians boats have set sail from Turkey to Gaza in response to Israeli piracy against the Global Sumud Flotilla. This is in addition to the flotilla led by Madleen that left from Sicily!!
Let’s go!!! More boats. Overwhelm the blockade.
This isn’t over. Amplify. Press media. Press governments. The large number of boats and social media attention is what is making this successful.

A Spanish naval vessel will join the Global Sumud Flotilla to provide assistance and, if necessary, conduct rescues, says Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez.
Italy earlier announced it was dispatching a frigate after a night of drone attacks on the flotilla opposed by the Israeli gov't.
The intense Israeli forces offensive in Gaza City, Palestine, is putting our staff and patients at risk. • The unacceptable level of risk has led us to reluctantly decide to suspend our lifesaving activities in Gaza City. • Israeli authorities must immediately guarantee unhindered access and security for humanitarian organisations operating in Gaza City. GAZA - The relentless Israeli offensive in Gaza City, Palestine, has forced Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to suspend vital medical activities in the area due to the rapidly deteriorating security situation. The situation includes continued airstrikes and advancing tanks less than one kilometre from our healthcare facilities. The escalating attacks from Israeli forces have created an unacceptable level of risk for our staff, forcing us to suspend lifesaving medical activities. "We have been left with no choice but to stop our activities, as our clinics are encircled by Israeli forces," says Jacob Granger, MSF Emergency Coordinator in Gaza. "This is the last thing we wanted, as the needs in Gaza City are enormous, with the most vulnerable people - infants in neo-natal care, those with severe injuries and life-threatening illnesses - unable to move and in grave danger." While large numbers of people have fled south due to evacuation orders, there are still hundreds of thousands of pople in Gaza City, who are unable to leave and have no other option but to stay. Those who are able to leave face an impossible choice: either remain in Gaza City under intense military operations and the deterioration of law and order, or abandon what's left of their houses, their belongings, and their memories, to move to areas where humanitarian conditions are rapidly collapsing.
At the same time, partially functional hospitals across the Strip are overwhelmed due to severe shortages of staff, supplies, and fuel. Patients also face enormous obstacles reaching care, often arriving late and in critical condition. Last week alone, and despite the mounting offensive, our clinics in Gaza City carried out over 3,640 consultations and treated 1,655 people with malnutrition. We have also treated patients with severe trauma injuries, burns, as well as pregnant women and others requiring ongoing medical care who are unable to leave the city. This shows the scale of medical needs. Although we have been forced to suspend our activities in Gaza City, we aim to continue supporting key services in Ministry of Health facilities, including Al-Helou and Al-Shifa hospitals, while they continue to function. Access to and the provision of safe drinking water, food, shelter and care is increasingly restricted. People in Gaza City have been repeatedly and relentlessly bombed. They are exhausted and are being deliberately deprived of the essentials needed to survive. We call for an immediate halt to the violence and concrete measures at the necessary scale to protect civilians. Israeli authorities must immediately guarantee unhindered access and security for humanitarian organisations operating in Gaza City, and acceptable conditions for the safe and sustained delivery of medical care and humanitarian aid, conditions that are clearly not in place today.
Horrific: Doctors Without Borders is suspending medical work in Gaza City due to Israel's violence, including airstrikes & tanks less than 1KM from their facilities.

Some say Charlie Kirk did Politics the right way, that he was an authoritative champion of free speech and discourse.
Part of that “Politics” is a 1200-person Professor Watchlist that’s led to harassment, censoring, cancellation campaigns, and death threats.

NEW — 18 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide.
"As a member of Congress, I have a responsibility to name and speak against what is happening: this is genocide," says Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar.
514 members are currently genocide deniers.
These deployments could already have cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. The actual number is unknown because the Pentagon is engaged in a coordinated cover-up of the costs.
“Israel fears the people who tell the world about what is happening in Gaza — the war, the genocide, the famine. Anas made it a mission to tell these stories, our stories, all over the world. And people listened,” a pseudonymous Palestinian journalist who lives in the US writes for @theintercept.com
Today, Afghanistan faces one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
The fourth anniversary of the Taliban takeover is a grim reminder of the serious and widespread abuses in Afghanistan, but it’s also a call for action ⤵️
4 years today the evacuation of Afghans was officially in motion. I was sitting on the floor of my apartment in Edinburgh, Scotland frantically messaging everyone I knew including one young woman who founded the first girls’ bike club. It isnt over yet... shannongalpin.substack.com/p/evacuating...
“Maybe the world won’t act, maybe the world won’t help us but there might be a motive to stop this war—every time I document a massacre or event or bombing, I think that maybe through this bombing or this image that the war could stop and this war would end...”
Colleagues, family, and friends gathered at the cemetery today to honor six Palestinian journalists killed in an Israeli airstrike on a press tent outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City - among them Anas Al-Sharif, the voice of Gaza.

It is illegal in the UK to sit quietly holding a piece of paper in support of a group that protests genocide and has to date hurt ZERO people.
Resistance takes many forms. I am building an Afghan Women’s Sport Archive to ensure the women who made history and challenged gender barriers and culture through sport are not forgotten or erased for future generations. We are starting with 8 sports. Onwards.

I wrote a piece for Sports Politika on the stunning silence in women's football on attacks and deaths of fellow footballers in Palestine and in Lebanon.

This moment belongs to the movement that made it possible — in Colombia and around the world.
Don't let the Right memory hole the political assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
It has been the action of everyday citizens trying to end a genocide that has the UK labeling Pal Action terrorists. Sit with that. Now fight back. Before they come for your voice, too.
