Qesser Zuhrah has just been picked up by an ambulance seconds ago. I wish for his survival and future wellbeing. Shame on Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy for not even listening to the hunger strikers and their demands!
The silencing and criminalization of Palestine Action has seen hoards of arrests, with the hunger strikes it may even claim its first lives. We must do everything in our power to prevent this, which means at least giving all arrested a chance to a fair trial!

It's astonishing cruelty, even by the standards of Starter, Lammy, Mahmoud.

This are everyday heroes, risking their lives for justice. Sadly, having found a life-sacrificing way to advance their fight. As a society we have a moral obligation to make their goals attainable without resorting to suicide.

UK hunger striker Heba Muraisi: ‘I think about how or when I could die’
Palestine Action-linked prisoner, 31, says she is suffering with pain as her 72-day protest reaches a critical stage.

By this spring, the World Food Program still had not received funding,
ran low on supplies
and was forced to stop feeding many of Kenya’s refugees.
In Kakuma, the third-largest camp in the world,
WFP cut rations to their lowest in history,
trapping most of the 308,000 people in the camp with almost nothing to eat. 
They began to starve,
and many — mostly children
— died because their malnourished bodies couldn’t fight off infections

Why ultra-processed foods make teens eat more when they aren’t hungry #nutrition

Why ultra-processed foods make teens eat more when they aren’t hungry
A Virginia Tech study shows that ultra-processed foods may influence adolescents differently from slightly older young adults. Participants aged 18 to 21 ate more at a buffet and snacked even when not hungry after two weeks on an ultra-processed diet. Because eating without hunger predicts future weight gain, these findings hint at a heightened vulnerability during late adolescence.

Just finished "Hunger's Bite" by Taylor Robin. A pretty great graphic novel bringing paranormal horror elements to a Titanic-era transatlantic voyage. I loved the characters and I had quite good plotting, which is not always a strength of graphic novels...
I think one of my favorite threads was how the villain's heteronormative assumptions became a small part of their downfall.

Auswandern! Deutsche Schicksale aus drei Jahrhunderten - Geschichte | ARTE
Deutsche Auswanderer haben – im Guten wie im Schlechten – die Welt geprägt. Was 1618, zu Beginn des 30-jährigen Krieges am Rhein begann, wird zur Geschichte einer Migration über drei Jahrhunderte und vier Kontinente. Millionen Deutschsprachige flohen vor Verfolgung, Hunger und Kälte, suchten in der Ferne ein besseres Leben – und wurden dabei oft zu Spielbällen im Machtkampf um neue Territorien. Eine Geschichte von Hoffnung, Flucht und Neuanfang.

Die USA zeigen, was uns bevorstehen könnte, wenn wir den hässlichen Populismus der Rechtsextremen nicht klein kriegen. Trump nutzt das Leid der Bevölkerung zu politischen Erpressung, um Superreichen noch mehr Macht zu verschaffen. Extremer als Merz, aber was wäre in ein paar Jahren?
Gleichzeitig gibt es auch Initiativen aus der US-Bürgerschaft, die Hoffnung machen und zeigen, dass Solidarität weiterhin existiert.

The judge urged the jury to do away with personal feelings about the war on Gaza or the legality of the proscription.
