the argument that reining in the dominance of US tech companies and addressing the social harms their products cause in other countries would violate people’s civil rights is a perfect encapsulation of how US digital rights discourse protects the power of US tech companies

Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand. What an epic moral failure.

never again, but only once we’ve assessed all the evidence and tens or hundreds of thousands of people have already been slaughtered

Kind of weird that Obama's ICE Executive Associate Director was implicated in a bribery scandal in September of 2024 and it didn't come up during the Biden/Harris presidential campaign.... www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

If I were Carney or Sheinbaum, I'd be on the phone right about now with Hyundai about re-locating this shop to Canada or Mexico.

Austerity = cuts to public services Investment = deregulation and transfer of public funds to private corporations Discipline = don't complain about the above www.reuters.com/world/americ...

NEW: 16 months ago, a young Palestinian locksmith went to help unlock a car. He's been in detention ever since. The FBI interrogated him. After refusing to become an informant, he was put in high-security as "retribution." He's not convicted of a crime—but ICE will neither free nor deport him.

Those of us on the (actual) left knew that Carney would be all about neo-liberal austerity. We were correct. Sometimes it would be nice to be wrong.

"This Weekend, We Saw the UK Descend Into Censorship, Brutality, and Authoritarianism" Keir Starmer government arrested elderly protesters, a blind man using a wheelchair, & others – all in the name of providing diplomatic cover for a genocidal regime, writes @graceblakeley.substack.com for Zeteo.

Chris Smalls says his goal in sailing to Gaza was to highlight Amazon’s cloud computing contracts with Israeli weapons manufacturers, as well as to urge labor unions in the United States to block arms shipments to Israel.

Israel called Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif a "terrorist." Then they killed him. How many more journalists killed in Gaza will it take for us to do something? @premthakker.bsky.social reports. Read the full story: zeteo.com/p/breaking-i...

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

This teenager is on the right track. The world needs much more "technological disobedience" where we find ways to keep on using our older tech stuff.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street. This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history. No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

Watch the moment a group of Israeli activists stormed a live television broadcast to protest Israel’s war on Gaza. Members of Standing Together, wearing 'Leave Gaza' T-shirts, jumped onto the stage during the airing of the Big Brother show on Channel 13.

The Israeli military just killed him. (Look at the photo caption)

The Liberal government is charging ahead with the technology despite mounting evidence of harm for workers, vulnerable groups, and public services breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys...

For the rest of my professional life, I will never forget how you all failed Gaza journalists who fought a genocide, an ecocide, the fifth stage of hunger, the murder of their family members and colleagues to tell the truth .
