On Nov 19, 2023, Yemen’s Ansar Allah entered a new phase of confrontation by seizing the Israeli-linked ship Galaxy Leader. Spokesperson Mohammad Abdul Salam said the move was a response to Israel’s actions in Gaza. #Yemen #Gaza #RedSea #MiddleEast

In 2015, a Saudi-led coalition attacked Yemen to regain control from Ansar Allah. But the response was far stronger than expected — Houthi forces struck back, targeting Saudi military bases and oil facilities in a powerful show of resistance. #Yemen #SaudiArabia #MiddleEast

The wave of the Arab Spring inspired Yemen’s people to rise against a U.S.-backed government. In 2014, Ansar Allah — with support from the people of Sanaa — took control of the capital, marking a turning point in Yemen’s modern history. #Yemen #ArabSpring #MiddleEast

Education cuts in prisons aren’t just failing inmates — they’re failing society. When we deny prisoners the chance to learn, we deny ourselves a safer, healthier future. #Education #Cuts #Prisons #Rehabilitation

London no longer feels safe — at least not for some of its wealthiest residents… or for the 47th President of the United States. What does that say about the city we call home? 🏙️ #London #safe #live #UnitedStates

Italian dockworkers have issued a powerful warning: if Israel attacks the Global Sumud Flotilla—the largest mission to break Gaza’s siege—they will blockade ports across Europe. Solidarity at sea could spark solidarity on land. #Italian #Dockworkers #Sumud #Flotilla #Gaza #Israel

The Netherlands has declared it will withdraw from Eurovision 2026 if Israel participates. The move signals how cultural stages are becoming political battlegrounds, with growing calls for accountability through boycott. #Netherlands #Eurovision #Israel #Contest #Boycott

The resistance’s rockets are not just weapons; they are a symbol of unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and the fight for justice. #Palestine #Resistance #Freedom

Cops arrest 500 peaceful protesters in London for a silent march supporting Palestine Action. This is tyranny, not justice, to silence dissent. Rise up! 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine #GazaCeasefire

The Scottish Greens leader says four Scots bringing aid to Gaza have been kidnapped by Israel. This is an outrage — humanitarian workers are not criminals. Scotland stands for justice, not silence. #GazaGenocide‌ #IsraelTerroristState #HumanRights

Average UK savings £16k? That's a sick joke—39% scrape by with £1k or less, 23% under £200, while Tories' austerity & tax cuts for the rich bleed us dry. This "broken Britain" kills dreams & futures. Starmer: Fix the rigged system NOW! 💸 #CostOfLivingCrisis #EndAusterity

Swinney's right: Scotland's oil, wind, & talent are "immense"—but Westminster siphons them off to fund London fat cats while Scots queue at food banks. Independence isn't a dream; it's justice denied. Time to break free & build OUR future! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScottishIndependence #YesScotland
