Nearly three years after Indigenous Amazon defender Quinto Inuma was killed in Peru, four men were convicted of murder-for-hire and sentenced to up to 35 years. “This sets a precedent for Indigenous peoples, a precedent for environmental defenders,” his son told me. apnews.com/article/peru...

The US and Israel have already murdered dozens and dozens of civilians because that’s what the Israelis and their American backers are good at. They will never support a free and democratic Iran because a free and democratic Iran could oppose them. They want a subservient and/or destroyed Iran.

I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

“So why aren’t you going to the US anytime soon?” Well:
The Trump administration isn't only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and "entities" whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following
"indica" (indicators) of violence:
• anti-Americanism,
• anti-capitalism,
• anti-Christianity,
• support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
• extremism on migration,
• extremism on race,
• extremism on gender
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

Anti-fascists will be mobilising in Dundee tomorrow to oppose a far right, anti-migrant protest. Assembling at 13:30 in Stobsmuir Park.
Flyer reads, "Dundee together against fascism. Defend refugees, stop the far right. Saturday, 1:30pm, Stobsmuir Park. Antifascist Action." The picture on the flyer shows a banner which reads, "Nae pasarán."

"When there is a genocide, you raise your voice! When there is a genocide, you resist!" People gathered in Dundee today - as on every Saturday - to demand an end to the Israeli state's genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza.
People demonstrate in the centre of Dundee, Scotland, waving Palestinian flags and signs.

I only just found out that the Israeli bombing of Nasser hospital in Gaza was caught live on air. That’s because the rescue workers you see were responding to the first bombing. Israel waited for them to arrive to bomb the hospital again. Obvious trigger warning Translation in the alt description
