really depressing to think we live in a world where a girl is SAed and men leave comments slut shaming her and making jokes about going next. Rape culture at its saddest docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Help us get “Lullaby” to number 1 before Christmas! An incredible group of UK & Palestinian musicians came together to release this song. All of the profits will go to Palestine Children's Relief Fund and Palestine Medical Relief Service, among others. linktr.ee/T4Plive

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

“Slower Form of Death”: Despite Ceasefire, Israel Keeps Killing in Gaza as Winter Storm Floods Tents

Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ...  because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."

Europe is talking a lot about digital sovereignty. But the recent attempt to take over Nexperia shows the US is still calling the shots. This week @benwray1989.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss European subservience on tech and the gig economy. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/306_...

Who has made this 🤣

Joanne will never run out of money because people keep buying her stuff, and so this will keep happening. SLAPP after SLAPP until trans people are completely drummed out of public existence and nobody will do a thing about it

Um mapa interessante.

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

During the Vietnam War, there were attempts, all unsuccessful, to pass resolutions condemning U.S. involvement. There were no significant attempts to prod the AHA to take stands on matters that weren’t exclusively academic during the rest of the century. www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/what...

Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza. Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

This time I do expect everyone to boycott Eurovision

This post is illegal as it violates the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of Venezuela. Meddlong in the internal affairs of a foreign nation is illegal and an act of war.

It has been a pleasure and an honor to be SHARP bibliographer the last 3 years, and I’m looking forward to seeing what @juliaboechat.bsky.social and Shu do for the next 3!

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

Where are the headlines about this? The US has turned the life of this French judge into a nightmare - because he applied justice to Israel. This is gangsterism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It should be bigger news that the German chancellor left COP 30 with arrogant and xenophobic comments about Brazil. This guy is not fit to lead a country www.dw.com/en/germany-c...

Autumn spent in Lund, Sweden. I'll only be choosing based on how pretty the places are from now on!!

I had a great experience as a Visiting Fellow at @umich.edu , and now I'm having a terrible one with being charged a "mandatory automatic insurance", plus several fines that they added before even contacting me about the payment. Is this how you treat your Fellows, UMich?

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI. But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Everyday at the Guardian: -Boss, should we be journalists and tell our readers what happened? No way. Just print that someone we've conditioned them to distrust *said* something happened. -But there's, like, a ton of photographic evidence. And Sde Teiman is a torture ca- ALLEGED torture camp.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

From “don’t be evil” to abetting a genocide for profit: that’s what it means to be “googley” today.

Dr Assal Rad— "This story is getting barely any media coverage, which is why Israel returned the bodies with signs of torture. "Didn’t even try to cover it up because they knew they didn’t have to."

As world leaders celebrate the release of Israeli captives, over 9,000 Palestinian prisoners still face torture, hunger, and isolation behind bars. Half of them are held by Israel without charge or trial. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/the-... #Palestine #Israel

Really good video from Democracy Now on the Peace Nobel! It was the closest they could get to giving it to Trump without losing face, and it is already being used to legitimize war in Latin America www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYAS...

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Within Italy, individual historic city states are recognizing Palestine; I was there for the Florentine Republic recognizing it this September, announced from the Palazzo Vecchio. Powerful seeing the old granular polities still using their strength. Cities are REAL in a powerful way. (See Alt Text)

shows the scam of Nobel peace prize
