Since it struck Iran on June 13, the Israeli Government Advertising Agency has paid for tens of millions of advertisements on YouTube alone. In clear breach of Google’s policies, these ads justify and lionize the attack as a necessary defense of Western civilization, and claim that Israel is carrying out “one of the largest humanitarian missions in the world” in Gaza.

"Gaza soll für Jahrzehnte eine Insel der Ruinen bleiben"

Mittlerweile werden Wasserverteilstellen angegriffen.
Israel hat jeglichen moralischen Kompass verloren. Es geht nur noch ums Aushungern, Töten und Vertreiben.

Israelischer Beschuss von Verteilstelle: Sie suchten Wasser gegen den Durst – dann traf sie die Rakete

Die Versorgung im Gazastreifen ist ohnehin desolat, nun wurden mehrere Menschen an einer Wasserverteilstelle durch eine israelische Rakete getötet. Israels Regierung legt mit drastischen Worten nach.

#Measles cases are surging in #Europe and the #US

30 years after Wakefield’s discredited study linking #MMR #vaccine & autism, we badly need an injection of rationality

It’s the most depressing conspiracy theory there is, not because the impacts are so much graver than some cranks who believe the Earth to be flat, but because #vaccination is the most concrete proof of how much we rely on one another’s care and rationality

#snac2 allows for translations via .po files and on my instance I've used it to replace status action buttons' captions with colour emojis — makes the UI a bit nicer on a phone.
For favourite, boost and bookmark I've used the set that I already use in my BloatFE and the rest are just initial rough ideas — which, I have to admit, aren't perfect: crossed out speaker and crossed out bell, garbage bin and big red cross are a bit confusing as to what they might mean — we'll see if I can come up with something better.

And I've also brought back Mastodon's famous "toot" button. Yes, the one with the elephant 😏

Julkinen terveydenhuoltomme on tilassa, jossa illalla pyöräilemässä kätensä murtanut LAPSI ei pääse julkiselle päivystykseen, vaan joutuu odottamaan aikaa aamuun.

Jonka jälkeen murtuma hoidetaan ensin väärin ja perhe joutuu lähtemään hoitoon toiselle paikkakunnalle, kahdesti.

From the #FreedomFlotilla

Canadian physician Yipeng Ge sent me messages and video footage from on board the #Handala, a flotilla carrying children’s #prosthetic limbs, #medicine and baby #formula with the hopes of delivering the items to #Gaza.

The latest effort comes after the Madleen, a previous flotilla that had Greta Thunberg and other activists on board, was illegally intercepted by #Israel before it could deliver #HumanitarianAid to Gaza.

Now in 2025, we are painfully reminded that the British Empire created this monster known as Israel to begin with.

“We are confident that this unlawful order will be overturned. As United Nations experts have made clear, spraying red paint and disrupting the British-based operations of Israel’s largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems, is not terrorism.

The terrorism and war crimes are being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people – armed and enabled by this government.”
- Palestine Action

“We commend the Counter Terrorism police for their decisive action in protecting the people of London from some cardboard signs opposing the genocide in Gaza and expressing support for those taking action to prevent it.”

“This is worse than Putin’s Russia. I don’t say that lightly. It’s 10 years for doing what we’re doing today in Russia; it’s 14 years in the UK.”

No, WeTransfer hasn’t changed its terms to “steal” your files to train AI. That’s viral clickbait BS. Just ignore it. Yes, their terms allow them to look at your content to check if it's illegal stuff so they can kick it/you out. That's their legal obligation and while such automated checks are not really reliable in all corner cases, it has nothing to do with training an AI.

PSYCHOPATHE A ENFERMER... VITE!

Dans son discours aux armées de ce 13 juillet, afin de détourner nos regards de son incompétence, son inculture, sa bassesse et la catastrophe qu'il promet à la #France, E. #Macron a dit entre mensonges et folie :
"Jamais depuis 1945, la liberté n’avait été si menacée"...
Il a raison!
Jamais depuis la seconde guerre mondiale et peut-être même avant nous n'avons eu à la tête de l’État pire traître à la nation. Jamais nous avons eu pire manipulateur prêt à inventer n'importe quel problème pour mieux nous terroriser avec des solutions qui n'ont aucun lieu d'être.
Jamais nous n'avons eu une caste politique aussi lâche quel que soit son bord et un état-major de nos armées aussi inexistant qui n'auront montré que soumission à ce fou qui nous mène au chaos.
Macron, si jamais depuis 1945 la liberté n’a été si menacée, c'est bien parce que c'est toi qui menace notre liberté!
J'espère que nous t'arrêterons, te jugerons et t'enverrons casser des cailloux dans un pénitencier jusqu'à la fin de tes jours!

New Orleans pro-Palestine activist stops FBI agents at her door, says ‘I have nothing to say to you’


 [img=https://i.snap.as/rvz7sAwn.jpg]Heather Awyan smiles at a gathering of Palestine supporters in New Orleans.[/img] New Orleans, LA – On July 11, at approximately 11:50 a.m., two FBI agents knocked on the door of local pro-Palestine activist Heather Aw

Heather Awyan smiles at a gathering of Palestine supporters in New Orleans.

New Orleans, LA – On July 11, at approximately 11:50 a.m., two FBI agents knocked on the door of local pro-Palestine activist Heather Awyan at her residence.

After identifying themselves, the FBI agents immediately began asking Awyan about “reports of antisemitic activity or internet postings.” The agents did not even ask Awyan to identify herself but wanted to know her “take” on those “reports.”

In response, Awyan stated, “I have no take because I don’t have a lawyer” and ended the interaction. Before leaving the front stoop, one agent pressed Awyan further by asking her if anyone had been harassing her. Awyan replied, “I have nothing to say to you. I don’t have any comment.” The two FBI agents walked away.

Activists should remain vigilant against political repression and harassment by knowing their rights when interacting with law enforcement. Do not speak to FBI agents under any circumstances, except to confirm your name, get their card or contact information, and decline to speak to them. Shut the door and call an attorney. More resources can be found at stopfbi.org, the website of the Committee to Stop FBI Repression.

The FBI knock on Awyan reflects a pattern of repression by Trump’s federal agencies against activists, journalists and organizers who speak out against U.S. imperialism, U.S. support for the genocidal state of Israel, and most recently, ICE raids and illegal abductions of immigrants.

But even in light of this repression, activists across the country have bravely resisted intimidation tactics and continued to fight within the peoples movements.

When asked if this unexpected FBI visit will affect her organizing work and solidarity with Palestine, Awyan responded, “No, not at all. There’s no stopping the billions of us worldwide who want to see a free Palestine and the freedom of all oppressed people.”
