I have been following Julian Assange's case from day 0. Ahead of yet another hearing related to his extradition process, some points:
1. It is not about the rule of law. His prosecution/persecution is political, and the country involved has a long arm meddling with several…

courageous publications, the journalist Julian Assange is persecuted. By a Democrat. Again.
Exactly 14 years ago Julian Assange published Collateral Murder revealing killings of civilians and journalists in Iraq. Today the killing of civilians, aid workers and journalists has been normalized. That's why we need courageous journalism more than ever. Free Assange

It is really difficult to find any service in Coimbra that is not mediated by Instagram or Facebook. Incredible how Europe let Meta and Google completely manage and data mine their local entrepreneurs, small businesses and societal exchanges.

Note that this footage permits no room for "it was a mistake," showing repeated, specifically-targeted strikes on the unarmed and even wounded. The sort of behavior the ICJ explicitly forbid in the genocide ruling against Israel.

Africa is the fastest urbanising continent: 58% of us will live in cities by 2030. We already have 52 cities with a population of one million or higher – same as Europe, according to the African Development Bank.
A leaked briefing to next EU Commissioner for development says EU aid should be a transactional tool for EU interests rather than meet the needs of victims of poverty, war, disasters & neglect. If EU wants to stand for human rights & “European civilisation” this must be rejected.

🚨Keir Starmer has admitted to speaking with Israeli president Isaac Herzog before crafting Labour's ceasefire amendment.
Herzog has signed bombs due to be dropped on Gaza, and his statements were cited by the ICJ as plausible evidence of genocidal intent.
UNRWA’s lifesaving aid in Gaza threatened by donors recklessly suspending aid. UNRWA has rightly terminated the contracts of those alleged to violate our neutrality principle. Donors, do not starve children for the sins of a few individual aid workers.
