“We are expected to be good Americans and look the other way as Israel prevents food, water and medicine from reaching the remaining people of Gaza. Israel is literally starving them to death,” Cohen said at the press event. “We will not look away. We will not be silenced. We will do everything we can to get our government to stop being complicit in starving little kids to death.

The BBC has postponed the broadcast of a documentary about medical professionals operating in Gaza, opting to wait until a review into a separate, earlier programme has concluded.
The film, tentatively titled Gaza: Medics Under Fire, was reportedly scheduled for release in February.
The BBC’s decision to hold off on airing the Gaza medics docu. until after the internal review has sparked frustration within the production company.

The European Commission is scraping together €500 million ("from 2025 to 2027") to fund positions for exiled US scholars.
Just putting this into context: A German university professor makes about 100k gross (with a lot of variation). These are just personell costs, excluding staff, materials etc. There are about 40k tenured profs in Germany. So 4 billion in a single year in one (albeit large and expensive) member state.

US/Mexico Border Put Under Martial Law
cnn.com/2025/04/11/politics/us…
(Trump) plans for the military to take command of a swath of territory along the border by designating federal lands as a military installation. Migrants who cross in this area would be put into “holding” for trespassing onto a military property, CNN previously reported, until the Department of Homeland Security could arrive to pick them up and deport them — putting the military in the position of effectively detaining migrants, something that is traditionally a law enforcement function. The military is prohibited from carrying out domestic law enforcement under the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, but by describing the zone as a “holding” area, DoD could feasibly circumvent that law.
