The European Citizens' Initiative on banning conversion therapy has reached the goal of one million signatures! 🎉 I'm genuinely surprised how much it picked up pace this final week
That doesn't mean you shouldn't still sign it! It'll only be brought to the Commission if it has a million *valid* signatures, and some fraction is always found to be invalid. So let's give it some margin above one million!

Either Palestine… or Fire[hell], Generation After Generation: PFLP
In the face of the renewed Nakba… we resist, we unite, and we move toward return and liberation.
To the masses of our steadfast people in the homeland and diaspora… To the free people of our Arab nation… To the free people of the world everywhere…
On May 15th, we mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, our open wound that has not healed, and a painful turning point in human history, when zionist gangs, with the full support of colonial powers, committed one of the most horrific crimes of the modern era: the systematic ethnic cleansing of our Palestinian people, their displacement, the destruction of hundreds of cities and villages, and the planting of a racist settler entity on the ruins of our homeland.
The Nakba represented a pivotal moment in the history of our people, a profound revelation of the nature of the zionist project as a racist, colonialist, and uprooting tool aimed at erasing Palestinian national identity and existence, seizing land, and displacing the Palestinian people. Since that moment, the chapters of the Nakba have not ceased, but have continued in renewed forms of killing, massacres, expulsion, discrimination, impoverishment, and siege.
Today, the Nakba is being replayed in a more bloody and barbaric form in the Gaza Strip, where our people are subjected to a genocide war unprecedented in modern history. The occupation machine is carrying out the most heinous forms of killing, destruction, starvation, and displacement. Hospitals, schools, and displacement camps are being bombed amidst a stifling siege, international complicity, international silence, and direct American partnership.
On this painful anniversary, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, while commemorating the steadfastness of our people across the homeland and in exile, from Gaza to the West Bank, from Al-Quds to the 1948 territories, and from the diaspora camps to forced exile, affirms the following:
First: Our conflict with the zionist entity is a comprehensive, historic struggle that will only be resolved by achieving our people’s full national rights, at the heart of which are the right of return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on all Palestinian soil with Al-Quds as its capital. The Palestinian cause will remain the core of the Arab-zionist conflict until the roots of the Nakba are eradicated and the occupation ends.
Second: The true response to the Nakba and its repercussions is to build a unified resistance front and formulate a comprehensive national strategy that embraces resistance in all its forms, with armed struggle at its forefront. This strategy reaffirms the PLO as a comprehensive and unified national framework, based on partnership and democracy and in accordance with national consensus decisions. This strategy aims to block the path to monopolization and hegemony, harness the energies of our people wherever they reside, and enable them to express their will to resist the occupation until liberation and return.
Third: In light of these ongoing chapters of crime, the top priority today is to stop the genocide war against our people in the Gaza Strip, end their suffering, break the siege, begin reconstruction, and embark on a political path based on the inalienable national rights of our people.
Fourth: We warn against attempts to impose renewed “Nakba” under the guise of expansionist colonialist liquidation projects such as the “Abraham Accords,” a “New Middle East,” and other dubious schemes aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.
Fifth: Confronting attempts to liquidate the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is of paramount importance in light of zionist-American plans aimed at erasing the refugee issue and the right of return.Targeting UNRWA in Gaza—through the destruction of its facilities and staff, the closure of its institutions in Al-Quds, and the prevention of its operations in the West Bank is part of a systematic plan to liquidate the refugee issue.
Sixth: We renew our call for complete liberation from the Oslo Accords and its consequences, ending the PA’s obligations resulting from them, halting security coordination and all forms of persecution of the resistance, reversing all dangerous and arbitrary decisions regarding allocations for the families of martyrs, prisoners, the wounded, and the freed, severing all forms of dependence on American-zionist projects, and moving towards building a unified arena of struggle that expresses the free will of the Palestinian people.
Seventh: The masses of our nation, its intellectuals, and its vital forces must rise up to support our struggle and confront the genocide war against our people. They must reject all forms of normalization with the zionist enemy, and confront the project of neo-colonial hegemony and plans to fragment the region.
Eighth: We salute with reverence the steadfastness of the brotherly Yemeni people, who have faced aggression and blockade for years. Today, they continue—through their courageous positions and popular and official initiatives—to provide support for our cause and affirm our unity of destiny and struggle by imposing new deterrent equations that extend deep into the zionist entity in support of Gaza. We also salute the valiant Lebanese resistance, which has been and continues to be a solid supporter of our people and resistance, a partner in the battle to defend Palestine, and a confirmation of the cohesion of the resistance fronts in the face of the zionist project.
Ninth: We highly appreciate the cries of solidarity that have risen from the streets and universities of Washington, London, Madrid, Brussels, Johannesburg, and all the capitals and cities of the world in support of Gaza, in rejection of the aggression, and in support of our people’s just rights. The rise of international solidarity constitutes an advanced front in the battle to stop the war, break the siege, expose the crimes of the occupation, and hold it accountable at the international level.
🔻The masses of our people… O sons of our Arab nation… O free people of the world…
On the anniversary of the Nakba, we renew our pledge to our people, to the souls of our martyrs, to our prisoners, and to our wounded, that the Popular Front will remain a voice of truth, a shield of resistance, a guardian of national principles, and a staunch defender of the right of return, which is neither forfeited nor negotiable. As the wise George Habash said: “We cannot guarantee the future of our generations while the zionist disease remains on Arab land.”
Greetings to our resistant people in all arenas. Greetings to our male and female prisoners in the occupation’s prisons.
Glory and immortality to the martyrs… and we will inevitably be victorious.

Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are mouldering in warehouses around the world because of U.S. aid cuts and risk becoming unusable, according to five people familiar with the situation.
The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programmes, according to three people who previously worked at the U.S. Agency for International Development and two sources from other aid organisations.
Some stocks that are due to expire as early as July are likely to be destroyed, either by incineration, using them as animal feed or disposing of them in other ways, two of the sources said.
The warehouses, which are run by USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), contain between 60,000 to 66,000 metric tonnes of food, sourced from American farmers and manufacturers, the five people said.
An undated inventory list for the warehouses - which are located in Djibouti, South Africa, Dubai and Houston - stated that they contained more than 66,000 tonnes of commodities, including high-energy biscuits, vegetable oil and fortified grains.

UA🇺🇦: Коли проявила це фото, довго ламала голову, чого я його взагалі зробила? І де це, блін, було? Стовп, дроти, поле. А потім згадала: їхала собі на велосипеді, побачила яструба, що царсько так сидів на верхушці стовпа. Подумала, фокусного точно не вистачить, але раптом вийде та натиснула спуск. Як бачите, яструб розміром з піксель, але момент зафіксовано 🙈

@GustavinoBevilacqua Ci stavo riflettendo anch'io: seguo dei mirror da X, e mi sono chiesto se faccio bene o meno; sono arrivato a questa conclusione: Non avevo problemi con queste persone (li seguivo, sicché 😁), ma con le *interazioni* sotto i loro post, essenzialmente violente ed inconcludenti. Coi mirror leggo solo quello che mi piace, e non vedere la merda sottostante è un sollievo per la mente e per l'umore. E mantiene Mastodon il mio rifugio dalla tossicità! @Scalva
@Batarea Ci potrebbe anche stare come logica - anche a me mancano certe persone di là e pazienza - ma, aldilà di questo, fai comunque guadagnare accessi, numeri e quindi denaro e potere a X. Anche se mirror, comunque ci deve accedere.

In merito al consumo d'energia non è più esoso dei vari bot che già girano e che sono utili (ad esempio quello per l'alt text e quelli delle previsioni del tempo). Sul traffico hai preso un dubbio anche mio.

In this first visit to the Emirates by a US president since 2008, the two countries pledged to strengthen ties and announced deals totalling over $200 billion.
Later in the day, the Ukrainian delegation is set to meet Russian officials for the first direct negotiations since 2022, with Turkish representatives also to be present. Separate meetings between the Russian and U.S. officials are expected.

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Merz macht Russland Vorwürfe ++
Bundeskanzler Merz bedauert die schleppenden Fortschritte bei den Friedensbemühungen - und sieht die klare Verantwortung dafür in Moskau. Russland erklärt sich zufrieden mit den ersten direkten Gesprächen seit mehr als drei Jahren.
Sicherheitsexperte Ischinger sieht in den Gesprächen in der Türkei immerhin einen Auftakt zu ernsthaften diplomatischen Bemühungen. Der Weg zu einem Frieden zwischen Russland und der Ukraine sei aber noch sehr weit.
Ukraine has blamed Russia for undermining the expected peace talks in Istanbul by demanding a one-on-one meeting, excluding Turkish or U.S. officials, at the last minute, Sky News and the Guardian reported on May 16.
