Ukraine has struck the pontoon bridges at the Chonhar crossing as invader russia's logistics route to Crimea remains under attack. #Ukraine's long-range drones successfully devastated the oil depot in Rybinsk. Fuel rationing and shortages have reached Moscow and Saint Petersburg of the failed soviet state.

Ukraine isolates Crimea. There are only two ways into Crimea—over the Kerch rail and road bridge from Russia (from the east) or from the north down from Ukraine over either the Chonhar rail and road bridge or the Henichesk/Syvash rail and road bridge.

Ukraine now has the mass and technical capabilities to wage a methodical and practically daily campaign against the invader's logistics linking Crimea to the mainland to the north. If maintained, that will have major implications for the fascist russian army in #Ukraine and the occupying forces in Crimea. Invaders Get Out.

Mark Bonnick worked at Arsenal for 22 years. Then on Christmas Eve 2024, the former kitman was fired over posts he made on X criticising Israel over the genocide in Gaza.

Arsenal accused him of bringing the club into disrepute. The case was quickly framed by media outlets as one of antisemitism. But reports later revealed that the Football Association told Arsenal his posts had not breached any of the governing body's rules.

Francesca Albanese's family recently won a case against punitive US sanctions, but a US appeal has put the sanctions back in place.

Albanese says the sanctioning “equates to a civil death. She is unable to access her bank accounts & savings or continue her work as a lecturer."

Trump's weaponized Justice Department dropped charges against Kat Abughazaleh & the "Broadway Six" who were arrested for protesting ICE rampaging in Chicago.

"The transcripts allegedly revealed that an initial grand jury refused to indict the defendants, and the case was later presented again after prosecutors kicked out certain grand jury members who disagreed with the case, according to defense attorneys."

Over the past two and a half years, Palestinian citizens of Israel have seen their political and civic rights — already limited before October 7 — dramatically constricted.

They have been arrested for social media posts, publicly humiliated by state officials, persecuted in their workplaces and universities for expressing political opinions, and held without charge in administrative detention.

A blistering new report from War on Want, an organisation fighting poverty, has exposed just how complicit the Premier League is in Israel’s genocide of Palestine.

Football is supposed to be a refuge from politics. A place where the roar of the crowd drowns out the world’s worst headlines. But when club sponsors profit from or enable state violence, that refuge becomes a stage for sports washing.

Pro-Palestinian activists staged a protest at Ghent University’s (UGent) rectorate building in Belgium on Wednesday, calling for a full academic boycott of Israel, Belga News Agency reported.

Israel has approved the construction of a new military complex at a site that formerly hosted the UNRWA headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem — a site it demolished in January.

The Israeli military complex will be built at the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) compound in Sheikh Jarrah, occupied East Jerusalem, which previously provided humanitarian services like health care and education to Palestinian refugees.

There has been international condemnation of Israel's treatment of pro-Palestinian activists who were on board a Gaza-bound aid flotilla intercepted by Israeli naval forces.

The US, the UK, France, Italy and Canada were among the countries which expressed outrage after far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video showing himself taunting activists kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs.
