Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.
"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."
The thing that about child safety online is that it is going in the exact wrong direction.
As a kid I had it drilled into me that I was never to disclose my real name, location, age or other identifiable information so that people couldn't groom me.
But that's hard on marketers, so.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

Israel has not “dragged the United Stares into war.”
An elite faction of the United States that identifies intensely with the interests of Israel has, with the complaisance of other factions, launched an aggressive war.
Israel figures heavily into Washington’s motives but the difference matters.
CNN: More than 1,000 civilians killed in Iran since war began, rights group reports By Helen Regan More than 1,000 people, including children, have been killed in Iran since the war began on Saturday, according to US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA). The rights group said as of Tuesday afternoon ET, at least 1,097 civilians had been killed, including 181 children. More than 5,400 civilians, including 100 children, have been injured, HRANA reported. The group said its report is preliminary and is veritying hundreds more reported deaths.
At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.
Khamenei was given a martyr's death instead of facing justice for the crimes of his regime; instead of standing before his accusers. Hardliners stand vindicated through America and Israel's unprovoked war. We have robbed them for 47 years of their rights to self-determination.
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
it's pretty infuriating how both diaspora is held up over the sourceland when it suits (weaponized exile politics) but when it comes to diaspora-specific concerns/critiques within the countries we live in, suddenly [fucking crickets].
The irony here is that the specter of white feminism compels many feminists of color—frequently but not always diaspora—to center the white gaze in their analysis. Questions of patriarchy outside the Western context are treated not as relevant and vital concerns for feminists everywhere, but as racist Western propaganda, or a point of shame to talk around, downplay, and deprioritize. The third world woman is rendered either an agent of whiteness, who advocates for her own liberation at the cost of “shaming” her own people, or ignored entirely, reduced to a talking point in Western discourses. She is, in short, treated by diaspora feminists the same way white feminists treat all feminists of color.
Maybe Western women could do something about those arms manufacturers and imperialist agendas you think are so eager to listen to y'all and follow your every directive.
Otherwise, shut the fuck up and develop a shred of empathy for women in the third world.
if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile
People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil
There was a general strike here last month. There’s genuine support for a change of regime here and all over Iran but you don’t get that with air strikes, all that brings is death.

I spent months hearing from African survivors of Myanmar scam camps, where trafficking victims are forced to run scams targeting westerners. Chinese criminals & at least one pro-junta militia cooperate to dish out horrific abuse against migrants to ensure compliance.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.
Prenez le temps de voir ce documentaire dingue sur comment l’État français a illégalement enfermé des étrangers dans un entrepôt clandestin du port de Marseille.
De 1963 à 1975, 30 000 personnes (surtout des Algériens) y ont été enfermées... @mediapart.fr

Cuban government has informed airlines that they only have about 24 hours worth of fuel left for planes.
Beyond the obvious damage that suddenly shutting down any country's air travel would have, a not at all small % of food and medicine in Cuba comes by luggage on airlines

"Israel has set the initial daily limit for individuals leaving Gaza through the crossing at about 150 people, but around 22,000 sick and wounded Palestinians are still in desperate need of treatment abroad"
People willl write a lot about the surnames of these agents, but as I wrote in Police and the Empire City, immigrants and descendants that become cops do so for social, cultural, and racial mobility—becoming “whiter” by proving they can do racial violence on behalf of the state, even against kin.
