“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said in February on Joe Rogan’s podcast. “They’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response,” he said of liberal politicians and activists.

‘This is #Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. Its Partygate. Just as the Iraq war was for Tony Blair, #DisabilityCuts is the moral stain that will mark #Starmer’s government and the party for years to come.
Severely disabled and ill people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded as a result of this policy. No Labour MP who backs it should be forgiven.’

35 years ago, the colonial state laid siege to the Mohawk community of Kanehsatà:ke. Tanks, guns, and lies were deployed against land defenders holding sacred ground. That summer became a spark — not just for Indigenous resistance here, but for every struggle against settler colonialism.
This is the first in a series of drops marking that anniversary.
Narrated by my homie Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas, who was there, behind the lines, holding it down. In this one, he breaks down the story of the Warrior Flag — how it went from the Pines to Standing Rock, to Palestine, to anywhere people rise up for their land and dignity.
The Siege of Kanehsatà:ke wasn’t the end.
It was the warning.

A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.

A USB cable with built in operating system and wifi for exploiting computers
A tiny circuit board containing an ESP32-S3 hides inside a USB-C plug on each cable, and can carry out a keystroke injection attack. The cable’s firmware is open-source, and has an impressive set of features: a payload syntax checker, payload autocompletion, OS detection, and the ability to impersonate the USB device of your choice.
\
The cable provides a control interface over WiFi, and it’s possible to edit and deploy live payloads without physical access to the cable (this is where the syntax checker should be particularly useful). The firmware also provides a remote shell for computers without a network connection; the cable opens a shell on the target computer which routes commands and responses through the cable’s WiFi connection (demonstrated in the video below).
\
The main advantage of the Evil Crow Cable Wind is its price: only about $25, at which point you can afford to lose a few during deployment. We’ve previously seen a malicious cable once before. Of course, these attacks aren’t limited to cables and USB drives; we’ve seen them in USB-C docks, in a gaming mouse, and the fear of them in fans.

🚨 STOP ‘ISRAELI’ WEAPONS FROM ENTERING THE PORT OF ROTTERDAM
Mayor Carola Schouten is ignoring the voices of thousands of Rotterdammers who have been demonstrating for weeks against the arrival of the Maersk ship ‘Izmir’. So, organisations from outside Rotterdam are joining forces to increase the pressure!
We demand that the Mayor don't let the Izmir dock in Rotterdam on Friday, June 27. In this ship are wings for the F-35 fighter jet that ‘Israel’ uses to bomb hospitals, schools, tents and other civilian targets in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran. We will not let our city's port be misused as a link in the genocide of Palestinians. Therefore, come to the EMERGENCY-DEMONSTRATION on Thursday (June 26) 18:30 at the CITY HALL in ROTTERDAM! Also make sure to bring friends, family and colleagues! Together we will put an end to our city's complicity in genocide.
ROTTERDAM IS SAYING NO TO GENOCIDE!

Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.

Fairly often on here I see people sharing stories about #PublicLibraries being like a secret cheat code around late-capitalist extraction and the collapse of communitarian values we see every day in a world built on individualism, consumption and individualistic consumption. Here’s another one:
After arranging a drag queen story hour at her very rural library, out of the abundant depth of her caring and curiosity and without a great deal of political context, and not quite knowing what she had gotten into when chuds with sidearms and bibles showed up to block the door with their pickups, and being very appreciative when, truly spontaneously as we’d never organized together before, a much larger number of anarcho inflected antifascists of all flavors appeared from across the region to help keep the day safe (the queens were extremely sparkly and the kids were extremely giggly), the librarian was so appreciative and got so curious (again, as librarians do) that she now wants to put together a series of intro workshops around topics like de-escalation, mutual aid, protest safety, community defense and consensus-based autonomous organizing.
So, tl;dr.. some christofascists showed up to be mean and dumb about queer and trans people and scare little kids and now the targeted library is starting to look a little like an anarchist infoshop 🖤😂🖤

The world’s largest military alliance has agreed to increase military spending from 2 percent to 5 percent of the GDP. This places bitter class struggles and social spending cuts on the agenda.World Socialist Web Site
Having said that, I do believe that the EU countries should abandon NATO and create their own defense alliance. Because NATO was maybe always very much about US interests, but lately it has has become 99.999% in US interests only.
Keeping yourself attached to this MAGA US as European countries is very harmful.
I do support a moderate increase in military spending but only if it doesn't involve the US in any way. And the 5% goal is ludicrously extravagant and war inducing.
