"It's so painful what we see in Gaza [...] Maybe we think that we can see the boys and girls of four years old being killed with a bomb or being killed at the hospital, which is not a hospital anymore, and think it's not our business.
[...] but be careful. The next one will be ours, the next four and five year-old kids will be ours. Sorry that I see my kids every morning since the nightmare started in Gaza and I'm so scared."

One of the people kidnapped with Greta Thunberg is Rima Hassan, a member of the EU Parliament. She's being kept as a prisoner of war now because she won't give her signature approving illegal deportation papers.

Greta Thunberg is being deported after giving the gangsters a meaningless signature. As a member of EU Parliament, Rima Hassan cannot give out meaningless signatures like it's nothing; it would be doing too much to legitimize Israel's crimes.

Will the world do anything about this? The situation is seemingly being ignored. Even Al Jazeera is burying the story right now, when it should be the top headline today. #news #newstr #Gaza #Israel #FreePalestine

🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟

Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.

Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.

This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.

The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.

Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

Screenshot of an article from the Danish newspaper Nordjyske. The headline reads, 'Digitisation Minister to phase out Microsoft in his own ministry,' with the subtitle, 'Digitalization Secretary Caroline Stage (M) aims to reduce reliance on US tech giants.' The image features Danish Minister of Digitization Caroline Stage standing at a podium, likely delivering a speech or making an announcement. She is dressed in a green blazer over a white top, with her hair neatly pulled back.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" news.elenarossini.com/fedivers…

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

Greenpeace calls for international action to release the Madleen aid vessel - Greenpeace International (2025-06-09)

greenpeace.org/international/p…
———

>> #Greenpeace demands:

• An immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire to halt the assault on civilians and the environment.
• The release by Hamas of all hostages.
• The release by Israel of all illegally detained Palestinians.
• The imposition of targeted sanctions and a comprehensive arms embargo, enforced by the international community.
• The unhindered delivery of aid by the UN and other humanitarian organisations.
• An end to the illegal occupation of Palestine.

>> If the international community continues to stand-by without taking concrete action as ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity mount, it will have to answer for aiding and abetting a genocide. The time to act is now!
