To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

The Howard League "condemned the introduction of Pava into YOIs as “a serious escalation in the use of force that is permitted against children”, saying the spray can cause severe pain."

🚨 Children who come to the UK alone in hope of finding protection need specialist support. But our new report w/ the Refugee & Migrant Children's Consortium shows that hundreds continue to be wrongly treated as adults & placed at risk in adult accommodation or criminalised 1/3🧵
The Home Office incorrectly treated hundreds of child asylum seekers as adults last year and housed them in hotels and detention centres with adults, a report has revealed thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

10 year old Saddam Rajab was on the phone to his mum while he walked down the street in the occupied West Bank when the IDF shot him. Israeli soldiers then obstructed the ambulance trying to take the boy to hospital. He subsequently died.

Even after the announcement of a ceasefire, reports indicate that the Israeli military is continuing to flatten the remaining residential blocks in northern Gaza, leaving displaced civilians with no homes to return to. Satellite images from January 2025 reveal widespread destruction in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun, alongside expanding tent camps in Gaza City—highlighting the mass displacement caused by the recent Israeli ground operation in northern Gaza.
If a final ceasefire agreement is not reached, Israel will likely target Gaza City next with the same tactics of systematic destruction and displacement.

Today we celebrate #HumanRightsDay with the launch of our new report with @UKAntiSlavery, which reveals the UK is failing to protect trafficked children, with systemic barriers preventing them from receiving the care and justice they deserve.

Councils paid CareTech almost £600 million for the care of children and young people last year, according to newly published accounts. But £1 in every £4 went to investors and lenders, not to children in care. This is how private equity is plundering children’s social care.

710 Palestinian newborn babies have been killed by Israeli forces during the ongoing war in Gaza.
No parent should have to go through the agony and heartbreak of losing their child.
We simply cannot accept the violence that Palestinian children continue to face as normal.

Shamima is the victim of inhumane CT policies & political grandstanding: politicians and courts failing to fully recognize all those who have been harmed by ISIS including trafficked and groomed young women & children.
