'Still, Minab' is an eight episode fieldwork ethnography of the #Minab massacre, researched, written and narrated by Dr @Helyeh_Doutaghi. Interviews with families and eyewitnesses affirm the agency and narratives of those who know the reality of this crime.youtube.com/watch?v=RYd8ePRl…
Episode 2 is a deeply painful watch on the #Minab strikes. Mahdieh and Amin’s mother recalls the horror - “On my way there, there was a pickup truck filled with children's bodies, all in girls’ clothes... I knew no one would come out from the rubble alive.”youtu.be/iF1663_LL_I?si=WZLD…

صرحت وزارة الدفاع اليمنية بأن التجمعات في المناطق الخاضعة لسيطرة الحوثيين، بما في ذلك المسيرات الجماهيرية والدورات الثقافية، ستُعتبر "أهدافاً عسكرية مشروعة". إن هذه التجمعات -بحد ذاتها- لا تُعد أهدافاً عسكرية مشروعة؛ لذا ينبغي على @YemenMOD التراجع فوراً عن هذا التصريح.

“Understanding these men prosecuting the conflict on the ground provides a unique and vital perspective on its dynamics and evolution.” @mareb_alward writes on Yemen’s Salafist commanders.

An obvious thread: all human life is equally valuable, recognisable and equally worthy of care, protection, love and mourning.
Dehumanisation rests on destroying the capacity to feel vulnerability and grief for others.
Algorithmic warfare is nothing new.
And, I would add, there is so much more to be written and explored still on how the dawn of algorithmic warfare in military operations is making it a far harder task to collectively conceive of this, and to challenge, eroding our ability to bear witness and demand accountability.

Ein schmerzhafter Anblick:
Eine jemenitische Mutter trägt die Leiche ihrer Tochter auf dem Rücken.
Die #Huthis haben das Mädchen und ihren alten Vater im Dorf Al-Adn (Bezirk Sabir in Taiz) getötet. Selbst der Krankenwagen, der die Opfer bergen wollte, wurde beschossen.
In dieser schrecklichen Tragödie blieb der Mutter niemand außer ihren eigenen Schultern. Sie trug ihre Tochter fort – ein Bild, das den Schmerz von Millionen Jemeniten und das Leid der gesamten Stadt #Taiz zeigt.

“Such intelligence failures suggest that not all civilian casualties are unavoidable tragedies; some deaths could be prevented if the coalition recognizes its past failures and changes its operating assumptions accordingly.” Appalling this was a decade ago.nytimes.com/interactive/2017…

NEW: The War Tehran Believes Is Coming
Iran believes the U.S. and Israel will resume the war soon. The White House told me it won't happen before the midterms. Top Iranian official Gen. Mohsen Rezaei tells @DropSiteNews Iran has new targets in its sights.

Trump’s war on Somalis spans two continents. My latest for @theintercept:
Beyond targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Trump administration has killed, arrested, deported, and demonized Somalis at home and abroad. theintercept.com/2026/10/21/…
