⁨So that $810m in congressionally allocated funding that OMB is rescinding? It includes $70m for Dept of Education's international education programs. Which is a major chunk of the annual funding for IFLE, which oversees Area Studies programs and Fulbright.⁩ www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

I'm making a documentary about the RLNI situation and I am contacting various organisations. However I thought I'd turn to bluesky as well, I'm looking to interview people either connected to the RNLI, to refugees/those working with refugees and also with counter-protestors. Please share.

Google Earth images of Rafah I remember in 2024 President Biden stating that an Israeli invasion of Rafah would be a "red line" for him. He even threatened to withold some weapons deliveries. Over one million displaced Palestinian refugees were sheltering in Rafah and in tents on the beach then.

Unbelievable scenes on the Garvaghy Road. PSNI tactics have been incendiary, heavy-handed & discriminatory. Your reminder of the Sam McBride interview in June that detailed PSNI doing loyalist paramilitary road closure work for them on the Newtownards Road during the June 2026 racist pogroms. [1/2]

We need a health minister to put in place stuff to secure an ailing maternity service that delivers 1700-1800 babies annually, from collapse. When Stormont collapses, women delivering on the roadside will be of no concern to those who picked open a 30 year old wound, just to keep feeling important

Statement - Gavin Bazunu

Representing my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my team mates, the Manager, his staff and the Irish people

However I have reached a decision that I have hot taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle therefore 1 feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.

My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.

There are few times where you get a chance ir ife to stand up for something bigger and strongly believe that this is one of them

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.

Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.
