#Xodus. January 20. Let's do it together.
1. A few days ago, I wrote a thread about the pros and cons of staying on this platform and asked for your views. They were very helpful. As a result, I’ve decided to stop using X from January 20. Already I’m mostly posting now on BlueSky (@georgemonbiot.bsky.social) instead.🧵

#ByebyeElon En tant qu’ONG soucieuse du respect des droits humains, Public Eye ne peut pas se permettre de rester plus longtemps sur #X qui s'est transformé en un espace gangréné par la désinformation et les discours de haine. Lire nos raisons 👉publiceye.ch/fr/bye-bye-x-he…

Amnesty Italy: Legal actions threatened or brought by powerful corporations, such as this one by #ENI against @Recommon, aim to muzzle or punish those who seek to speak out on matters of public concern and pose a serious threat to freedom of expression.
Le azioni legali minacciate o intentate da potenti aziende, come questa da #ENI contro @Recommon, mirano a imbavagliare o punire coloro che cercano di esprimersi su questioni di interesse pubblico e rappresentano una grave minaccia alla libertà di espressione.

🔴 Eni ha denunciato per diffamazione a mezzo stampa @atricarico72 di ReCommon in relazione alle dichiarazioni da lui rilasciate durante la puntata di @reportrai3 dello scorso 5 maggio. L’accusa nei confronti dell’esponente di ReCommon appare come l’ennesimo tentativo di mettere a tacere una voce scomoda, che fa seguito anche alla recente citazione in giudizio che sempre Eni ha intrapreso nei confronti di ReCommon e @Greenpeace_ITA. Durante la puntata di Report, Tricarico aveva evidenziato la sovrapposizione dei tempi dell’assegnazione della licenza di sviluppo del giacimento di gas di Zohr in 🇪🇬 da parte di Eni e la drammatica vicenda Regeni. Un’affermazione obiettiva, che peraltro è stata ampiamente suffragata nel secondo servizio trasmesso da Report il 17 novembre, in cui documenti confidenziali di Eni ribadiscono quanto affermato da Tricarico. 👇 recommon.org/eni-denuncia-an…

As the call for a Business, Human Rights & Environment Act #BHREA keeps growing, the UK can learn from the EU #CSDDD to adopt a tailored law that builds on an existing British model to address corporate abuse. @DakotaLynnAnton @corpjusticeUK ✍️ #mHREDD business-humanrights.org/en/…

Hello dear Twitter friends, I've made the plunge to the other place. It seems genuinely great. I love that it works so similarly to here. I love that there are no cesspit-inducing algorithms. I love the absence (so far) of hate. Please join me! I'm @doctoroxford.bsky.social 💙

Today @rohantalbot gave evidence at the @CommonsIDC about the situation in Gaza. In this particularly powerful moment he recounts how when he asks his colleagues in #Gaza what they want him to say to MPs they say “don’t bother, it doesn’t matter anymore. We’re waiting to die”.

In February, the target was the home of Fakhri Abu Diab, elected community leader of Al-Bustan who had been leading negotiations over a zoning plan with the authorities. Last week, they came back to demolish what was left of Fakhri’s home—a room where his son and family lived. 🧵

After destroying the tent, authorities also demolished a community center and a neighboring home. The center served over 1,000 youth, women, and children with sports, cultural, and educational activities—rare in East Jerusalem, where underinvestment means few public spaces. 🧵

Today, they targeted the solidarity tent—a space aimed at fostering solidarity among Silwan residents and with others who care about protecting the neighborhood and which, over the years, had become a landmark spot in the community. 🧵

The neighborhood of Al-Bustan in East Jerusalem is being destroyed. This morning, bulldozers arrived again, a week after they demolished 6 other homes. The authorities are not only destroying people’s homes, but also specifically targeting those who oppose this destruction. 🧵
