Asking Goa to give up 4% of a river’s flow to help parched districts seems reasonable, moral. But it masks a deeper ethical problem: who bears the burden of the ‘greater common good’?

❗️@gbsumudflotilla has come under attack 14 times between Tunis and Crete (11 explosions). Four vessels are now damaged and require urgent repair. As of last night, an unexploded device remains on one of the boats. Are states waiting for a boat to be sunk before intervening?
Journalists like @MathildaMall are aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla. Their mission is simple: deliver food, medicine and other essentials to Palestinians in occupied Gaza, who are still trapped under Israel’s unlawful blockade.

Israel can murder the PRIME MINISTER of Yemen with zero consequences? If Yemen killed Netanyahu, nukes would already be flying
It's now been confirmed: Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahhawi was assassinated in an IDF airstrike on Sana'a two days ago. He was killed alongside a number of state ministers during what Yemen's presidential office says was a routine government workshop.

You know what’s funny about this argument? Blackfellas - who have been the victims of stolen land, wages and children - who have had to fight for every single right - have never once blamed it on “immigrants” but rather the violent racist settler colonial state.
@amymcquire This rhetoric isn't helpful. Nsn got people to show up based on concerns about housing, cost of living, claims they weren't involved Got ferried to the front to stir up violence. There will be people caught in the crossfire and people blanketed as racists, causing more divide.

Why they blame migrants for the housing crisis. Here is a hint, it’s ALL about politics. 3 underlying reasons and 1 main reason. Underlying reasons - without these, the main reason does not work. 1. It’s far easier to believe: My suburb is expensive because of migrants than

If anyone wants more evidence that the Australian flag is a symbol of racism and genocide - here you go. Protesting on stolen land. What a bunch of losers.

Profiting from genocide is not merely depravity: it is a crime. Those responsible must be held accountable. For a deeper understanding of the system behind it, read my latest report: https://t.co/rOKedq3sgX

Rafael Advanced Def Systems tests its weapons on unarmed Palestinian civilians in Gaza and proudly advertises it. Rafael is part of a 5M € @HorizonEU project. Can you explain why you are partnering with corporate entities involved in international law violations @lemaitre_eu?

“ One might pause to wonder what First Nations people, who are the victims of racism every day, feel about the priority given to 120,000 well-educated, secure and mostly affluent individuals”. Thank you Louise Adler for pointing this out!

The only democracy in the Middle East to starve newborns and to cause the highest number of children killed, orphaned and amputated. Inhumanity record, 2025.
Israel is starving NICU babies. Not by mistake—by policy. The milk is gone. Mothers starving too. When Israel says it’s defending itself and the EU and US echo it this is what they mean. No other regime is committing cruelty like this. Starving infants. Deliberately.
