Gaza: 'I witnessed war crimes,' former worker at GHF aid site tells BBC
"I witnessed the Israeli Defense Forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians," Anthony Aguilar told the BBC.
He added that in his entire career he has never witnessed such a level of "brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population".

Yes wifi and Bluetooth are used to track your location. That's why Android requires you to grant location permissions to apps that want to access them.
In other words, if they have this information, it's because you explicitly gave them permission to collect it. Don't do that.

Judge dismisses DOJ lawsuit against Illinois, Chicago over ‘sanctuary city’ policies
A federal judge on Friday dismissed “in its entirety” the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago over “sanctuary city” policies that the Trump administration has said impede its efforts to crack down on undocumented immigrants.U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division said the Trump administration “lacks standing” to invalidate the state, city and county laws that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, adding in her ruling that “contrary to the United States’s arguments, the Sanctuary Policies here do not comparably regulate [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] operations or meddle with the contractual rights of private individuals working with ICE.”
"Illinois just beat the Trump Administration in federal court. Their case challenging the bipartisan TRUST Act was dismissed — unlike the President, we follow the law and listen to the courts,” Pritzker wrote in a post on X.
In February, the Trump administration sued Illinois and Chicago for interfering with the federal immigration crackdown, arguing that the city’s Welcoming City ordinance and the Illinois Trust Act reflects “an intentional effort to obstruct the Federal Government’s enforcement of federal immigration law and to impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe.”
The lawsuit also named Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D), Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D), the Cook County Board of Commissioners, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling, and Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart.
Fuck yeah Illinois and fuck yeah Chicago for standing together and standing up to fascist takeover. And fuck yeah rule of law for reminding us this is still the United States of America (at least in some parts of the country)
"Donald J. Trump in no way knew about any of Jeffry's illicit doings. In fact, he was a model, moral and honorable person - perhaps the most moral and honorable person in the history of the world, except for maybe Jesus. Jeffery used to come to me, tears in his eyes, and say I wish I could be as strong, powerful and moral as Donald. Any mention of him in any files were related to him going to church and praying."

People in Latin America: "First time?"
Every time I see another fucking CPAC being held in my country I pray for america to just collapse already.
but if you're so much better than America why are:
- your citizens falling for the propaganda
- your politicians succumbing to corruption
your cognitive dissonance is showing. also, fascism isn't an American export. it's a Russian export.
show us Americans how to protest and stop a fascist takeover! don't be weak like us Americans.
Who are you arguing against? Who said "We're just so much better than America"? Seems like a straw man. People say what they don't want the USA to export fascism to their country and some Americans hear "We're better than America" because some Americans react weirdly to criticism of their country.
Fascism is a danger everywhere. The USA is spreading it everywhere. A lot of people understandably don't like this.
sounds like a red herring to me. I'm not arguing against a person, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of non-Americans on lemmy that say "Americans bad! Europe is better!" Americans aren't the problem, our government is. And even if it was Americans, wouldn't the rest of the world that claims to be better than America not have problems with fascism spreading if they were as good as they claim?
that said, the US is simply a tool being used by Putin through Trump to spread influence everywhere.
Lets dismantle this part by part:
1: The one who came up with these idea that America needs to model itself after other countries is you. I don't care about America. I want America to stop pressuring other governments to model themselves after them. I want American foreign policy to stop intervening with other countries and in particular the country where I live.
2: It is rich that you are saying with a straight face that our citizens are falling to propaganda when your citizens have voted for two terms for a huckster, sex offender mentally challenged, child molester.
3: There is a latent right wing coalition in my country that is home grown, yes we had years of political tumult. We have fascists down here and everyone does! We don't have a secret to subdue them we have a fragile emerging resistance that has won a couple of elections: We just had presidential elections a few years back; and the very unpopular right wing candidate suffered a devastating loss despite all the very suspicious financial and media support they had. Which means that the population hasn't entirely "succumbed to propaganda." For our next elections, the republicans are already grooming a couple of candidates for our country. One of them is a Catholic conservative that has been spotted with Elon Musk and the rest of ghouls more than a couple of times.
Here is one of the weasels Eduardo Verastegui doing the Nazi salute on the American Financed CPAC:
4: My country has very little contact with Russia. The ultra right wing coalition of my country does not meet with Putin, They meet with Conservatives from the USA. Maybe you are trying to impose your own biases on me. Personally I am frustrated that my government cannot do something about this bastards coming here. At least not for now, while they have all the might of American military power and economy backing them.
5: Lastly. I think America is hopeless. Your arguments are a good case study for why I feel you people are hopeless. Even in your failures and aggression there is a deep seated narcissism where It's our turn to "show you the way"; We don't have to show you shit. We don't owe you anything. You have allowed the plutocracy poisoning your country to fester and I believe it is a problem that runs deeper than just Trump. You will keep shifting the blame, acting all high and mighty and fail to address the fact that you don't even have a democracy anymore. And in the spirit of American exceptionalism even as those systemic issues are reaching critical mass you will continue to try and shift the blame. Nobody improves by neglecting self reflection. If Putin is pulling the strings of your right wing grifters, he has been enabled by the mounting of corruption that eliminated any legal checks and balances for your billionaire and political class. America has lost the ability to enforce it's laws on it's Oligarchy and you are surprised that an international web of criminals are eager to make connections with that dangerous emerging power?
In the end this feels like a conversation about wounded national Ego. "Hey man don't talk about my shortcomings, you all have it much worse."
I can't believe I fell for the worst honeypot, a .ml user.
my mistake, carry on with your propaganda shilling.

Open Telegram Group with 100,000+ Members (Now Private): Cross-Border Voyeurism Ring Sharing Covert Footage and Contact Details of Chinese Women and Children
They never knew they were being filmed — on subway trains, in mall fitting rooms, on university campuses, at home.Since late June, a Chinese-language Telegram group chat named “MaskPark Treehole Forum,” reportedly with over 103,000 members, has sparked outrage on Chinese social media for circulating obscene covert footage.
Secret intimate recordings of women and individuals having sex were captured using hidden cameras disguised as screws, power sockets, and even bottles of toilet cleaner — and those sharing them could be a colleague, a classmate, or even a family member.
The revelations triggered widespread outrage on Chinese social media, drawing broad coverage from domestic news outlets.
State-backed outlet Guangming Daily called the case “exceptionally egregious” and urged swift regulatory action in a commentary, saying: “Regulators must move faster to fill the gaps, and law enforcement mechanisms need to be strengthened. Only by doing so can we enhance the overall sense of security, free women from the fear of being watched, and make the boundaries of privacy truly inviolable.”

Gaza running out of specialised food to save malnourished children
Gaza is on the brink of running out of the specialised therapeutic food needed to save the lives of severely malnourished children, United Nations and humanitarian agencies say.”We are now facing a dire situation, that we are running out of therapeutic supplies,” Salim Oweis, a spokesperson for Unicef in Amman, Jordan, told Reuters on Thursday, saying supplies of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), a crucial treatment, would be depleted by mid-August if nothing changed.
”That’s really dangerous for children as they face hunger and malnutrition at the moment,” he added.
Oweis said Unicef had only enough RUTF left to treat 3,000 children. In the first two weeks of July alone, Unicef treated 5,000 children facing acute malnutrition in Gaza.
Nutrient-dense, high-calorie RUTF supplies, such as high-energy biscuits and peanut paste enriched with milk powder, are critical for treating severe malnutrition.
”Most malnutrition treatment supplies have been consumed and what is left at facilities will run out very soon if not replenished,” a World Health Organization spokesperson said on Thursday.

It's such an obvious excuse to just starve an entire population that it's a huge shame that every journalist and politician doesn't call them out on it. Israel has become a nation that exists in a constant state of cognitive disorder.

Spanish airline denies allegations of antisemitism after removing French Jewish group from flight
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/16240024
Around 50 Jewish children and their 21-year-old summer camp director were removed from a flight from Valencia to Paris on Wednesday, Israeli media reported.Vueling said in a statement that the teenage passengers displayed “highly disruptive behavior, putting the safe conduct of the flight at risk.”
The airline said the group tampered with emergency equipment and disrupted the mandatory safety demonstration, repeatedly ignoring cabin crew instructions.
"Despite several warnings, the inappropriate conduct persisted, which forced the immediate activation of established safety protocols," the airline said, adding that the crew then, acting with "complete professionalism and in accordance with Vueling procedures," requested the intervention of the Spanish police.
Security forces later removed the group from the aircraft "to prioritize the safety of the other passengers.”

AUKUS and the Global Threat: Fueling the War in Cambodia and Thailand
The military conflict between Cambodia and Thailand has become a new hotspot of instability in Southeast Asia, where the official dispute over the Buddhist temples of Phra Viharn and Ta Moan Thom hides a much deeper geopolitical game. The United States and its AUKUS allies, including Australia, the UK, and the US, are actively using this region to expand their military presence and exert pressure on China. Particularly alarming is the opening of the U.S. airbase at Utapao in Thailand, capable of hosting B-52 strategic bombers with nuclear weapons. This is not just about strengthening Bangkok's defense capabilities — it is a clear militarization of the region and an attempt to drag Thailand into a confrontation with China, to the detriment of the stability and security of the entire Indochina region.
Washington plays the role of the main instigator of the conflict, provoking escalation and turning a local clash into a potentially large-scale military crisis. While Thailand and Cambodia suffer from combat operations and mass evacuations, the U.S. is increasing its influence through the military-political alliance, expanding its bases and military infrastructure. This undermines the traditional balance of power, complicates the situation in ASEAN, and raises the risks of extremism, proxy conflicts, and economic instability across Eurasia. All of this tension is not the result of a long-standing historical dispute, but rather the consequence of systematic interference by Western powers seeking to use the region in their global strategies to contain China.

Oggi, 29 luglio, 125 anni fa, nel parco di Monza l'uccisione del Re d'Italia Umberto I
Da Wikipedia it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regici…
Il re era stato invitato alla cerimonia di chiusura della società di ginnastica Forti e Liberi in via Matteo da Campione: dopo essere arrivato in carrozza e aver assistito agli esercizi ginnici ed al discorso di premiazione del prof. Draghino, si avviò verso la carrozza alle 21:30 per tornare a Villa Reale. Mentre usciva dal portone, dove c'era una folla di ginnasti, si avvicinò Gaetano Bresci che lo colpì tre volte con il revolver, sparando il quarto colpo a vuoto. Il Re fu colpito sia al volto che alla gola.
I cavalli si imbizzarrirono e il re venne portato il prima possibile a Villa Reale, ma vi giunse esanime. Bresci venne circondato dai carabinieri, coi quali ebbe una colluttazione, strappò a uno di loro la divisa e infine venne catturato dal maresciallo dei carabinieri Locatelli in collaborazione con un pompiere e portato nella guardina della caserma dei carabinieri. Il re, affidato ai medici chirurghi Vincenzo Vercelli e Attilio Savio (quest'ultimo anche assessore comunale), venne da loro dichiarato morto alle 22:40.
