#Turkey is accelerating its use of facial recognition to detain and prosecute protesters - often with little or no evidence. I’ve been investigating how #AI is contributing to the erosion of the rule of law & supercharging authoritarianism 🧵 newlinesmag.com/spotlight/tu... @newlinesmag.bsky.social

The #PKK has announced it will disband and lay down arms - while the first is unlikely to be undone, the second is a technical process that will take months. Now the ball is in the government's court.

Trump's aid freeze has already wrought havoc in Syria, where the majority of the population needs humanitarian aid: clinics close, clean-water distribution is cut back, bread distribution ends, etc. @yleniagostoli.bsky.social @newhumanitarian.bsky.social www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

Feels like an appropriate first piece to share on this platform… Since #Trump and #Musk decided to slash foreign aid, medical clinics and malnutrition centres in #Syria have shut down. At least 6 NGOs have halted clean water services for 430,000 people. Food aid has stopped for tens of thousands.
