i think people should be embarrassed of working for weapons manufacturers

Was recently a guest on a panel with No Azure for Apartheid, discussing tech surveillance, propaganda, militarization, and occupation. Check it out here youtu.be/xoobawgQcf8

Coders: help mentor Gaza's CS students! Final year university students in Gaza are looking for mentorship in completing their undergraduate projects. Great opportunity to help students suffering under occupation. updates.techforpalestine.org/introducing-...

The Intercept has learned that Amazon sold cloud services to Israeli weapons firms at the height of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

Maaaaaaate.

tl;dr

Surprise: when you're racist, people quit. Sequoia COO Sumaiya Balbale quit over Shaun Maguire's comments, and Sequoia's refusal to do anything about them. www.ft.com/content/8e6d...

I'm glad to have gotten to cover Tech for Palestine for @ssir.org. Read about the incubator's (v ambitious!) efforts to "change [the tech industry] into something that’s pro-freedom, pro-liberation, and pro-human rights." ssir.org/articles/ent... CC @paulbiggar.com @techforpalestine.org

The Stanford Social Innovator Review (@ssir.org) shared their discussion of our work at Tech for Palestine. Good review of what we actually do. ssir.org/articles/ent...

Abandon Vercel. The Replit guys have a migration tool and they are they do not support the genocide.

The answer here is that the ADL are fascists

Shocked to see Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch meeting with an indicted war criminal, who is committing an internationally recognized genocide

Oh look, it's Keith Rabois and a war criminal

This was always the goal and don’t forget that this happened because of the Democrats/Joe Biden. TikTok was in zero danger of being banned and the ban was non existent until Biden/Dems worked w Gallagher to revive it because people were using the app to speak out about Israel’s genocide.

We're seeing reports that Gaza City is under a total blackout. To get any news about what's happening, please consider donating to provide eSIMs from Gaza Online gaza.online/donate

New episode of Occupied Tech with guest Eric Sype from @7amleh.bsky.social. We discuss Big Tech complicity, how Meta's censorship works, and the digital siege of Palestine www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6EF...

The Holocaust industry is used as Israeli propaganda. They have no interest in Never Again because they are not against genocide, just that specific one

This is unheard of - half of MUBI employees asked the CEO to return Sequoia's money

Streaming platform MUBI took $100M from Sequoia, and the CEO put out a statement about it saying it wasn't a big deal. Turns out he's lying: I went through each of his points and fact checked it. updates.techforpalestine.org/fact-checkin...

Many so-called “privacy tools” — including VPNs — are secretly run by Israeli tech, which is responsible for surveillance, supply chain attacks, and spyware. Now there's an alternative: BuycatVPN - privacy without Israeli tech updates.techforpalestine.org/announcing-b...

It's clear that a lot of people thought they would never be held accountable for supporting genocide, and a lot of them are shocked -- SHOCKED!! -- to discover that actions have consequences

I raised Sequoia's investment as a Code of Conduct violation for Zed here github.com/zed-industri...

Really disappointing to learn that @zed.dev just took money from racist and Islamophobic Sequoia Capital, who recently started investing in Israel in order to support Israel's genocide! Zed's team should be appalled and ashamed. For context about Sequoia bsky.app/profile/did:...

Shipping today: new podcast Occupied Tech, hosted by me, partnership with Palestine Deep Dive and Tech for Palestine. In this first episode, I spoke to Hossam Nasr about Microsoft's complicity in the genocide, and how No Azure for Apartheid organizes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k_y...

Hundreds of former Israeli spies are working in Big Tech, database shows www.dropsitenews.com/p/israel-tec...

Compete capitulation by the UN today. The backstory: 1. Israel accused Hamas of using SA as a weapon of war, demanding they be blacklisted, an official designation with diplomatic consequences.

founder: What if our customer has a team in Israel? me: Ask them to certify, for compliance with your internal policies, that none of the team members have participated in Crimes against Humanity (which includes apartheid, ruling out entire IDF)

Meta Leaks Part 1: Israel & Meta, The Greatest Global Mass Censorship Campaign to Ever Exist archive.org/details/meta...

Saw this on HN, haven't had time to dig in. Is this a thing? archive.org/details/meta...

I’ve long been disgusted by US tech companies' complicity in genocide, but learning that Satya Nadella personally met with Israeli spies to let them dragnet Palestinian conversations on Azure hits a new level of depravity www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

THREAD: 🚨 Leaked Israeli government documents just dropped. Here’s what they reveal: Israeli media outlet Channel 13 published internal war cabinet transcripts from March 2025. They confirm that the Israeli government knowingly pursued a strategy of starvation in Gaza.

It’s actually hilariously sad how easily people are fooled by people’s post politics PR rehab “Kamala was actually against the genocide” is the same as the “George bush sad old man that paints dogs” garbage THEY HIRE PR FIRMS FOR THIS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

Sequoia's tarnished reputation due to Shaun Maguire's islamophobia and recent investments in Israel matter because it affects the companies they invest in. Mubi, who took $100M from Sequoia in June, are facing pushback from their audience and filmmakers deadline.com/2025/07/mubi...

Since Figma is going public today, here's its CEO spreading the kind of propaganda that led to the genocide in Gaza. No surprise that it's backed by @sequoia

It is not that Gaza is starving, it is that Israel is starving Gaza. It is not a humanitarian disaster, it is a Crime Against Humanity

Updated our tools page - more to come but here are some of the tools Tech for Palestine is supporting techforpalestine.org/tools

I wrote about venture capitalist Shaun Maguire, his accusations that Zohran Mamdani is a "secret Islamist," and his emergence as a leading right wing voice in the tech industry. www.businessinsider.com/shaun-maguir...

Adam Fisher popped his head up so let's talk about Bessemer Venture Partners! Adam Fisher, leads Bessemer's Israel office, and also posts Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian hate speech online. He also leads an organized Israeli propaganda team to spread propaganda and disinformation. 🧵👇

Here's a list of universities who are investors (LPs) in Sequoia, the VC who refuses to do anything about the rampant Islamophobia from Shaun Maguire Princeton University of Michigan Columbia University of Texas at Austin University of Virginia Oxford Northwestern continued...

Last year, I made a video explaining how Israel's propaganda works in the US, especially in tech and venture capital (covered on the 2nd half). Essential context if you're wondering why there's so much backlash now. youtu.be/EJw7ddXUIaI
