The kidnapping of Venezuelan migrants in Salvadoran prisons has put a spotlight on the system of concentration camps run by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele and supported by the US, says Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro.
The US Trump administration’s free speech crackdown continues, as deportations & arrests of anti-war advocates continue
Reminiscent of the Nazi Gestapo, the crackdown on opponents of the US backed genocide in the Gaza Strip, has led to the silencing of academic institutions, lists being formed of human rights defenders to be targeted, on top of the banning of books and other information from being taught.
The US airstrike on a Yemeni civilian port kills 74 and injures 102
The attack on the civilian port of Ras Issa, located in Yemen’s Hodeidah city, was carried out with at least 14 missile strikes. After committing a civilian massacre, emergency and medical crews arrived to the scene to help, which is when the US struck the port again.
Israel has been violating the Lebanon ceasefire through repeated airstrikes, shelling, intensified drone activity, civilian casualties, and the continued occupation of Lebanese territory. Israel's Defense Minister Katz recently defined the occupation as “indefinite,” signaling that such violations will persist.
Kerala, governed by India’s only communist-led administration, is on course to become the first state in the country to eradicate extreme poverty. In April, Dharmadam—a town in northern Kerala—was officially declared free of extreme poverty. The announcement is part of a targeted campaign launched, which identified 64,006 families facing severe deprivation based on four indicators: food insecurity, lack of income, poor housing and unmet health needs. As of April, 50,401 families—nearly 80 percent—have been removed from the extreme poverty list.
More than 3,100 houses have been built, 4,000 renovated, and 4,300 families supported with stable sources of income. An additional 14.3 acres of land have been identified for distribution to landless households. Officials say the remaining families, mostly those lacking housing or income, will be included in the final phase. The state has set November 1, 2025 as the deadline for complete eradication, which would make Kerala the first in India to reach this milestone.
🇬🇧🤝🇨🇳 UK to Washington: We’re Not Your Lapdog on China? 🤔
In a rare flash of spine, the United Kingdom has quietly told Washington: “We’re not cutting off China just to get back in your good graces.”
According to iNews, the British government will reject pressure from the Trump administration to sever economic ties with Beijing, despite the White House floating the idea of lower tariffs in exchange for partners isolating China.
London’s position? “Talks with Washington and Beijing should not be conflated.”
Translation: Britain isn’t going to nuke its own economic future just to fit into Washington’s new Cold War chessboard. Not this time.
And it’s not just the UK. As WSJ recently reported, the Trump administration is aggressively trying to weaponize tariffs into loyalty pledges, essentially demanding nations pick Team America or Team China in exchange for trade reprieves.
But here’s the reality: the global majority doesn’t want another Cold economic War. China is a major trading partner for nearly every economy outside the Five Eyes. From the Belt and Road to rare earths, Beijing has more cards than Wall Street wants to admit and even America’s closest allies are beginning to see the cost of obedience.
The UK, long accused of being Washington’s poodle vassal just signaled it won’t go down with the Titanic.
🇮🇱❌⛑️ Israel Turns Gaza Into a Death Trap — Doctors Without Borders Sounds the Alarm
There are no safe zones left in Gaza. Not for civilians. Not for doctors. Not for anyone. That’s the devastating verdict from Doctors Without Borders (MSF), who are now openly accusing the Israeli regime of deliberately obstructing humanitarian aid and weaponizing starvation, disease, and displacement.
MSF slammed Tel Aviv’s suffocating blockade as collective punishment — a war crime under international law — and declared what we all already knew: Gaza is being systematically erased. “We are witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population,” said MSF emergency coordinator Amande Bazerolle.
Hospitals are out of fuel. Children are drinking polluted water. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. And still, Israel blocks aid convoys at the border, bombing food warehouses and targeting the very ambulances and clinics that remain.
So let’s be clear: This was never about self-defense. This is a slow-motion genocide, carried out with impunity under the rotting umbrella of “Western values.”
While the world looks away, doctors, nurses, and paramedics are being killed for daring to heal the wounded. 🎙Subscribe @TheIslanderNews
Russophobe Kallas promises to punish EU countries and EU candidate countries if they go to Moscow to celebrate Victory Day.
It has been discussed and stated very clearly by various Member States, that any participation in the May 9 parade – in the celebrations in Moscow – will not be taken lightly by the European side, given that Russia is currently waging a full-scale war in Europe.
Vitaly Sizov, Ukraine TV. Are you monitoring which countries or candidates for EU membership are planning to visit Moscow on May 9?
Thank you. We made it clear that we do not want any candidate countries to participate in these events on May 9 in Moscow. The message was clear.
I recall this war was about upholding Ukraine’s national sovereignty? Nothing shows Putin more then the EU threatening countries and impeding national sovereignty. Kallas is just upset because she wanted the Axis powers to win.

“I am a piece of sh*t” — Palestinian Authority (PA) forces released a dehumanizing video showing them humiliating Mahmoud Jabarin during his arrest.
Mahmoud Jabarin, from the Jenin refugee camp, is wanted by the Israeli occupation. Once again, the methods used to arrest and humiliate prisoners closely mirror those of the Israeli army. The PA serves the same objective: to crush the West Bank’s resistance.
This campaign of arrests by the PA comes as Israel continues its military operation “Iron Wall.” It is currently targeting multiple locations across the West Bank and has displaced over 40,000 people, the largest West Bank displacement since 1967.
The PA is trying to prove to both Israel and the US that it can be a reliable ally in Gaza's administration. Meanwhile, Trump recently halted all funding to the PA security forces as part of a broader freeze on foreign aid.
German journalist, Jan Eberman, of Tagesspiegel once asked if there’s any written proof from Israel officials confirming their intent to carry out genocide. Well, here are the leaflets dropped on Gaza last week.
