Everyone knows how annoying it is when you’re on a train and your signal keeps dropping out. So we’re going to install ultra-fast cables along major rail lines to get rid of those dead spots.
🚨Israel just bombed the very Gazan church Pope Francis used to call daily during the genocide They injured the very priest, Gabriele Romanelli, who used to update the Pope on the situation. 2 church goers were killed, 6 wounded.
In one week, Russia has carried out over 1,800 drone attacks, dropped over 1,200 aerial bombs, and fired 83 missiles at Ukraine. Russia is attacking civilians and peaceful cities. Because it cannot win on the battlefield.

Foreign YouTubers showcasing life under the Taliban as if it is normal are complicit in erasing a brutal reality. The absence of women in schools, workplaces and to criminalize reading a book in public is dystopia. It is the apartheid of women. Complete erasure.
Doesn’t feel like ceasefire in Tel Aviv where we are in shelter for fourth time this morning…
From foreign minister of Pakistan which had just recommended Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize

Last week in #Afghanistan de facto authorities publicly flogged at least 63 males & 4 females. These gross punishments that violate int'l law have increased massively in 2025 & must stop. A stark reminder that Taliban must not be normalized and no Afghans abroad forcibly returned

Amazing brave plastic surgeon @DrVictoriaRose talks about all the children she is treating in Gaza and asks how can anyone justify this ? thetimes.com/article/51b4b0…
14,000 babies will die in next 48 hours if Israel won’t let us send baby food into Gaza said @UNReliefChief on @BBCr4today Baby food. Just think about that How has the world let this happen?
