Reminder that Francesca Albanese is not being targeted for a sentence twisted and lifted out of context in a speech.

She is being targeted for daring to name the names of giant companies complicit in the crime of genocide.

They would rather destroy international law than be accountable to it.

Never forget about Francesca Albanese persecuted by the USA/Israel simply for revealing facts about their Genocide.

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement.

"Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

A UAE online influencer is seen in a new video urging followers not to engage with the “Epstein Island scandals.” A good Muslim, he says, ignores gossip, doesn’t repeat everything he hears, and stays silent so falsehood dies. Interacting with the content only feeds the algorithm. Bury it and move on. The fallout is already significant. Reporting by Drop Site and other outlets, drawing on recently surfaced leaks and the DOJ’s 2026 release of the Epstein files, is shaking the UAE’s corporate credibility and exposing elite backchannels that operated out of public view. Here’s what to know: ▪️ DP World shake-up: Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem resigned as chairman and CEO on Feb. 13 after emails revealed extensive contact with Epstein, including a 2009 message referencing a “torture video.” Canada’s CDPQ suspended future investments pending clarification. ▪️ Strategic normalization role: Drop Site reporting shows Epstein helped cultivate early UAE-Israel commercial and political ties years before the Abraham Accords, using his network to connect Emirati and Israeli elites behind closed doors. ▪️ Diplomatic scrutiny: UAE diplomat Hind Al-Owais faced backlash over emails discussing introducing her 13-year-old sister to Epstein’s circle. ▪️Separate disclosures that fragments of the Kaaba’s Kiswa (from Islam’s holiest site) were allegedly shipped to Epstein’s Florida estate in 2017 also sparked outrage. A photo included in the disclosures shows Epstein and bin Sulayem examining a piece of the Kiswa laid out on the ground. ▪️ Backchannels exposed: Files show Epstein discussing with bin Sulayem meetings the latter had with figures such as Vladimir Putin and David Cameron. Epstein also had had insight into sensitive Gulf political discussions, including UAE-Qatar tensions. Read Drop Site’s reports from Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain linked below.

🚨New: Longtime Palestinian political prisoner Marwan Barghouthi was visited Feb. 16, 2026 at Megiddo Prison by his lawyer, Ben Marmarelli. Marmarelli said he is “in relatively good condition,” especially mentally. Physically stable, he still suffers hearing damage from a prior assault and broken ribs from a Sept. 15, 2025 attack. During the visit, they heard “screams” and “blows” from a nearby room. Barghouthi said beatings began Oct. 7 and have continued since. بن مرمريلي בן מרמרלי Ben Marmarelli @mrmrly44557 Today, February 16, 2026, at 15:00, I visited Marwan Barghouthi at Megiddo Prison. Marwan appears to be in relatively good condition, especially mentally. Physically, he is stable and has not been assaulted since the last attack on September 15, 2025, during which his ribs were broken. He still suffers from hearing damage in his right ear as a result of a previous assault, for which he received medical treatment. During our meeting, we clearly heard screams and sounds of violence coming from a nearby room. Twice within the span of our half-hour visit, we heard blows and cries of fear. It was evident that prison guards were beating other detainees. According to Marwan, the beatings began on October 7 and have continued ever since. Despite the torture and ongoing hardships, Marwan remains mentally strong and steadfast.

🔴 BREAKING: At least 28 people were killed and dozens wounded when multiple Sudanese army drones struck Al-Safiya market northeast of Sodari in North Kordofan, according to a February 16 statement from Sudan’s Emergency Lawyers Group, which blamed the SAF for the attack. The group said the market was crowded with women, children, and elderly civilians and condemned the strike as a grave violation of international humanitarian law, urging an immediate halt to drone attacks on civilian areas. The attack reportedly took place in an area controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). SAF denied the strikes to AP. Another suspected SAF attack in West Kordofan killed 26 people on Monday Emergency Lawyers @EmergncyLawyers Translated from Arabic #Statement Yesterday evening, drones belonging to the army bombed a market in the Al-Safiya area northeast of the Sudari locality in North Kordofan State, resulting in the deaths of 28 people and the injury of dozens in a preliminary toll likely to rise.

🔴 Oscar-winning Palestinian director of No Other Land, Hamdan Ballal, says Israeli settlers, led by settler Shem Tov Lusky, attacked his home again. Lusky is the same settler who assaulted him after he returned from Los Angeles last year. Ballal said that after his family called police to report settlers entering their land, Israeli forces arrived, raided the house, beat those inside, arrested four relatives, and left one of his brothers hospitalized. A recent Israeli court order was meant to bar non-residents from the area and “make things a bit quieter,” Ballal said. Instead, “the opposite has been true.” Settler harassment has intensified, authorities have failed to enforce the ruling, and “today they joined the settlers in the attack.” He is urging journalists and diplomats to visit on February 17. Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם @yuval_abraham Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after I returned from Los Angeles--Shem Tov Lusky--again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital. I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: hamdanalhrane90@gmail.com Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day. We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky--the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year--came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital.

🚨 Israel has approved a plan to begin registering West Bank land as “state property” for the first time since 1967, Al Jazeera reports, citing Israel’s public broadcaster KAN. Analysts describe the move, advanced by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and others, as de facto annexation, noting most Palestinian land was left unregistered after Israel halted the process in 1967 and that international law bars an occupying power from confiscating land. KAN also described the decision as another step toward annexation, saying it opens the door to regulating outposts, lifting restrictions on Jewish land purchases, reviving a state land acquisition committee, and expanding civil enforcement, including in Areas A and B. Palestinian Authority officials and Hamas have condemned the move as illegal and void. State of Palestine @Palestine_UN Palestinian Presidency condemns Israel’s decision allowing it to classify West Bank land as a state property:

🇨🇺 February 13 | The UN Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) expressed extreme worry over the “deepening socio-economic crisis” in Cuba, highlighting several key issues: ▪️ With over 80% of water pumping on the island dependent on electricity, power cuts are undermining access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. ▪️ Decades-long U.S. embargo and recent oil shipment restrictions are responsible for compounding economic strain. ▪️ Fuel shortages are also jeopardizing hospitals, including ICUs and emergency rooms, and disrupting the storage and delivery of vaccines and other temperature-sensitive medicines. ▪️ The rationing system and basic food basket have been disrupted, affecting school meals, maternity homes, nursing homes, and other social protections. ▪️ Vulnerable groups are being hit hardest. ▪️ Electricity cuts are also limiting communications and access to information. 👉 OHCHR urged all states to lift unilateral sectoral measures, saying policy goals cannot justify actions that violate human rights.

🚨 Nickolay Mladenov, the High Representative for the Gaza Board of Peace, warned that if the second phase of the ceasefire is not implemented quickly, Gaza risks sliding into a “second phase of the war.” Otherwise, Gaza would become permanently fragmented, not only divided from the West Bank but split internally “into two zones.” Mladenov indicated any reconstruction and Israeli withdrawal from the current “yellow line” would only occur after Palestinian disarmament. “In order to be able to begin any reconstruction for the Gaza Strip,” he said, and the possibility of Israeli withdrawal from the current ‘yellow line,’ the Board of Peace would need to see the “disarmament of all factions in Gaza,” explicitly naming Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and citing others. He did not, however, reference any of the Israeli-backed armed gangs operating in the roughly 58% of Gaza east of the ever-expanding yellow line.
