'We were treated like animals', deported Gaza flotilla activists say
Following their detention by Israeli authorities, activists from the Gaza flotilla claimed that they were "treated like animals" during their capture and deportation. The Global Sumud Flotilla, which was made up of activists from all over the world, was sailing toward Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid when it was stopped by Israeli naval forces in what the participants claim to be international waters. Before Israel began deporting people, over 400 people, including citizens of multiple nations, were held in detention. After being expelled, many of the deported activists arrived in Istanbul and shared stories of humiliation, intimidation, and violence. They alleged that Israeli forces used excessive force during the raid, deploying armed troops and water cannons to stop the flotilla. They claimed that while they were detained, they were subjected to verbal and physical abuse, were kept in harsh conditions, and were deprived of sleep, food, and water. Some activists claimed they were forced to kneel for hours, faced insults, and were struck when they tried to move. Others said that at detention centers, lights were kept on throughout the night and guards would enter rooms shouting and banging on doors to prevent rest.

World Reacts to Hamas’s Response to Trump’s Gaza Plan
# World Reacts to Hamas’s Response to Trump’s Gaza Plan The international community has been closely watching the unfolding dynamics in the Middle East following Hamas’s sharp response to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly outlined plan for Gaza. The idea, presented as part of a larger plan to bring stability to the region, has sparked strong reactions on multiple fronts, including condemnation, cautious support, and a lot of discussion about its viability and how it will affect relations between Israel and Palestine in the future. Trump’s Gaza plan, unveiled with significant fanfare, centers on a blend of reconstruction, demilitarization, and strict oversight. It calls for major international investment in rebuilding Gaza’s war-torn infrastructure, promises humanitarian aid, and proposes security guarantees for Israel. In exchange, Hamas would be required to disarm, renounce violence, and allow a transitional governing body under international supervision to administer the territory until elections could be held. The plan, according to Trump, offers Palestinians “a pathway to peace and prosperity” while ensuring Israel’s security interests remain paramount.

Who is Controlling Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan Now?
When you hear the name Bagram Airbase, you probably imagine the thundering sound of military jets, convoys of armored vehicles, and rows of barracks that once hosted thousands of troops. For two decades, Bagram was not just a military outpost in Afghanistan—it was the beating heart of U.S. and NATO operations across the region.

Ledger of the Seventy-Four Percent. Content Warning.
My rent goes up every year in December just in time for Christmas! This is not just about me. It is about all of us boomers that are not wealthy. Every month I pay 74 % of my check of 1216 to rent, now it went up $20. Every month there are thousands of seniors in the same situation. I am overdrawn at the bank now. Payday loans turn into four every month to survive. At the third of the month the ritual repeats like clockwork. The stress is too much at times. I have healthcare and mental health care here in California. How long will this last under the Rumpty Dumpty and Satan Miller adminstration? What will we do? I live this way every month. My art, videos, and music are survival tools. I was never wealthy! There are millions of other folks living paycheck to paycheck, old and young. I live one day at a time in this dystopian nightmare of corporate greed, bigotry, and billionaires who do not care. They will throw us to lions, but wait, we have been living with beasts in time and space 2025.

On the Brink:
A convergence of large-scale campaigns, risky military probes, growing authoritarian brinkmanship and eroding diplomatic backstops has created a volatile global landscape — and several flashpoints could cascade into a far larger war.

The United Nations General Assembly: The Center for Peace and Global Cooperation
United Nations General Assembly: A Platform for Peace, Cooperation and Global Unity World history is full of wars, conflicts and differences. The First and Second World Wars revealed the fact that if humanity is to survive, a global organization based on peace and cooperation must be established that can bring all countries to the same table. The United Nations came into being in 1945 at the end of World War II. Its most prominent and central organ is the General Assembly, which is a unique forum for dialogue, cooperation and policy-making among nations at the global level.

Democracy in the Cage: Uncle Sam on the Ropes
The White House lawn has seen its share of ceremonies, protests, and presidential addresses. But never before has it looked like this: a steel cage, floodlights, and two unlikely fighters locked in a brawl for the nation’s attention. On one side, Uncle Sam — the lanky, bearded symbol of America’s ideals, dressed in his star-spangled best. On the other, a red-capped bruiser who treats politics as a pay-per-view event rather than a solemn responsibility.

Bread, Circuses, and the South Lawn
When Dana White and Donald Trump announced that UFC cage fights would be staged on the South Lawn of the White House during America’s 250th birthday in 2026, it sounded like parody. But it wasn’t satire. It was spectacle — and spectacle has a long history.
