Dear people, dear comrades and people who support me,
My name is Maja. Since June 5, I have been on hunger strike [ see here ; Ed. ]. I started it to protest my illegal and unredressed extradition from Germany to Hungary a year ago, the repressive persecution of anti-fascists, the dubious legal proceedings with a pre-determined outcome, my solitary confinement, which continues to this day, and the inhumane conditions of detention in Hungarian jails. Now, after almost six weeks, I have decided to suspend my hunger strike.
I donโt want to continue abusing my health, because I feel that if I donโt turn around now, it will soon be too late. So, it wouldnโt do much good if my requests were met. I would be scarred for life, perhaps I already am. I never wanted to get to this point; I naively hoped that something as radical as the hunger strike would finally raise awareness among those in charge and all those who can change something, that they would take action, after a year of soothing statements, smiles, and ignorance.
Now, thereโs not much left of me. My bodyโa skeleton, with an intact, fighting, and living spirit. It smiles, searches the horizon for freedom and community, and refuses to accept the lack of justice. But Iโm not ready to take the step toward imminent death. Of course, weโre not sure; maybe there are still a few days, maybe a few weeks. But if I were to lose consciousness, I would be shifting the responsibility onto the people fighting alongside me, something Iโm not ready to impose on anyone. The same would happen if I were subjected to force-feeding.
On July 1st, I was transferred to a prison hospital, 250 km from Budapest, because by then there were already serious concerns about the stability of my health. The new location is quieter than the jail in the big city, but just as isolated, if not more so. Contact with my family is also severely limited. My lawyer, always an indispensable support, now needs a whole day to visit me. During my hour-long walk in the courtyard, I donโt meet any fellow inmates. I spend the remaining 23 hours in the cell, because there are no activities here. The loneliness is heartbreaking, homesickness fills the horizon. Medically, it is possible to get the body back on its feet in this place, but mental recovery seems impossible here. With the predictable return to Budapest, nothing will have changed, because there awaits me what made the hunger strike a necessity. Neither hospital nor prison in Hungary can be a solution.
My demands remain unchanged! I require a transfer back to Germany or house arrest and legal proceedings in accordance with the rule of law. I am determined not to remain silent and to protest, even in the future, for as long as necessary.
I am now ending my hunger strike so that no one is responsible for any long-term or permanent damage to my health. However, this does not absolve anyone of the responsibility to create humane detention conditions, free from pain and suffering, for everyone, to conduct independent judicial proceedings in accordance with the rule of law, whose sentence is not written in advance, and to guarantee the integrity of the detained person, to respect their dignity instead of despising and punishing them. If this does not happen, if my demands are still ignored, I am determined to resume my hunger strike.
I demand what is necessaryโthat I be able to be at home with my family, that I be able to develop through school, work, etc., that I be able to prepare for trial on an equal footing and no longer be buried alive in a cell. I am still waiting for a clear and honest word, an apology from those responsible for my extradition, as well as an offer of reparation. Even if it comes last, it is the most important thing to me.
Thank you to all those who spoke out, who stood by our side, and to those who have been there, courageously, for a long time, to those who firmly defend the need for anti-fascism, to those who support us, who sacrifice nights and days, who donate, and who are anchors. This diversity is called resistance and utopia at the same time. My thoughts constantly go out to my family and close comrades, knowing the pain they are experiencing and admiring their courage and self-sacrifice. My thanks are expressed today in words. But rest assured that the seed of solidarity with what is possible has fallen on fertile soil. Thus, I hope that not only I, but also many others have been able to unite courage and strength of will, in these last weeks, to look forward, hand in hand, never forgiving, but smiling.
With thoughts of solidarity. A presto, Iโll be in touch [ โSee you soon, Iโll give you some newsโ in Italian ].

Narayanpur District, July 18, 2025: At least six persons police claim to be cadres of the CPI (Maoist) were killed in a firefight with security personnel in the hilly forested terrain of Abujhmad region in Chhattisgarhโs Narayanpur district, about 400 km south of Raipur, State Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) P. Sundarraj announced to the press today.
A combing operation was launched by a joint team of security forces in the Abujhmad region based on intelligence inputs about the presence of Maoist cadres in the area. An exchange of fire ensued on Friday afternoon and continued intermittently in the forest. Six bodies have been recovered so far from the encounter scene, the IGP stated in his report to the press, adding that the security forces have recovered one AK-47, a Self Loading rifle and other weapons, as well as explosives materials and items of daily use from the site of the gun battle.

Israel launched new attacks on the outskirts of Suwayda overnight, targeting Bedouin militias engaged in fighting against Druze armed factionsthecradle.co
First he snorted in irritation. His fur bristled like a surly and rebellious cat, disdainful of boxes and pyramids. Just like that, without even warning.
Then, for those who do not know, a kind of tender caress. Then the clawing, increasing in quantity and strength. And then, a whirlwhind of discontent. Before long, it was a runner. The fury of the wind was joined by a rain as if to tell the windstorm that it shared its rage. It threw men and leaves against the walls of the champas and, I swear, the foundations of the concrete pavilion creaked.
Wind and rain. Nowhere to turn. Better to be left in the middle of the fury than to risk the guillotine flight of the torn sheet metal as if defying the modest modesty of the galleries already cleaned, with paint and walls renovated.
But, strangely enough, the storm respected the periphery and concentrated in the center. There, where the skeleton of a pyramid rose not a few meters from the gravel.
As if to say: โNo pyramids hereโ.
And the blankets that simulated the walls of the pyramid, swelled with that mixture of wings and sails that at times resembled a wandering ship and at times a lost aircraft, with no land in sight, only with the certainty that below was the ground waiting without haste, as if saying โjust right hereโ.
We tried to talk to it, but, between the rain and the gale force winds, we barely managed to get it to let up long enough for the fellows who had climbed to the top to place the money sign to come down. Immediately, a strong, concentrated blowing blew the sails off and the blanket flew up the mountain.
โThatโs how ghosts are born,โ I thought.
We began to explain in a rushed manner that it was not to be left per se, but rather as an explanation of the policy. To reveal, that is. That there were no true or false gods. That, of itself, is going to be destroyed. Not only that one, but all the pyramids. Yes, in the whole and in the parts. Yes, in all the corners of the planet.
He slowly faded away, as if doubting our commitment.
He left later but not quickly, as if to say โif the human being does not comply, we, the parts of the first mother, will complyโ.

SubMoy checked the construction and said: โItโs not going to fall easyโ.
A compa, as it were, made a nick in one of the crossbeams with his machete. He only muttered: โItโs going to fall, itโs going to fall. It might delay, but it falls because it fallsโ.
โThe most difficult thing will be the central column, it is very solid,โ he added, โwe will have to put a lot of strength, a lot of desire and not just a few of us, but manyโ.
โThat is: in common and organized,โ said a young painter. We all laughed, although we were still frightened by that irritated wind, who knows where it came from.
โThat post is well rooted. Even if they knock it down, it will resprout. You have to pull it up to the roots,โ said an elderly woman, planted in jars in front of the wooden construction, as if defying it.
โIt is the soul of the system,โ responded a companion to a girlโs question about the central mast, โthe private property of the land, of the machines, of the houses, of the people, of nature, of dreams and nightmares, of the skies and the seas, of what is seen and what is not seen, of the world, therefore. It is not only at the foundation of the system. It is also in our head, in our heart and in our history.โ
โBut how many are coming?โ they asked me.
โA good many,โ I replied.
โBut do they bring their will to fight?โ they insisted.
โSaber,โ I said to myself, โas SubMoy says: it remains to be seen.โ
โHey captain, is that thing going to be there all my life,โ a militia woman asked me.
โNo, how do you think, itโs for the Zapatista talk, why do you ask?โ
โBecause I think a soccer team is coming and that thing is in front of one of the goals, where our dining room is. So there will be neither game or food. The soccer game, whatever, but the food, wellโฆโ
The afternoon began to sprout from the trees. For an instant, the moon, the sun, the rain and the wind coincided, appearing before the mountain.
-*-
Is that going to be there forever?
Well, no, thatโs why we are fighting. It might linger, but there are going to be more of us.
And in the wind followed the warning that the rain engraved on the earth:
-*-
Not far away in calendars and geographies, Palestine remained a tear of blood on the indifferent face of the worldโs governments.
From the mountains of the Mexican Southeast.

I thought about doing a preliminary half year games of the year roundup but man it's not a huge list so far:
Lies of P: Overture (A fucking DLC)
AI Limit (A second fucking Soulslike lol you guys are gonna run me out of town at this rate)
Hundred Line
Tetris TGM4
Dead or Alive: Xtreme Venus Vacation
Gal Guardians 2 (scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel)
It's probably going to be very hard to argue COE33 escapes the list but I have yet to actually play it. SURELY it's good, right? I've seen enough of the writing and presentation to know both of those are really good. Maybe COE33 runs away with it?
The main point is that the strongest release with fewest weaknesses I have on this list is a DLC. I don't supposed anyone is hiding a Gravity Circuit tier indie game in their back pocket?

I gave Citadel 1 a shot and I will give it to you: This is Hideous Destructor but only the good, cool, fun parts minus the gay slow autism impenetrable bullshit. Which is high praise to all of the two people who played HD. Great shooting.
But what I cannot get over is this is a deeply UGLY fucking game. The only thing that doesn't look ugly are the crying anime girl half-face gibs, which means the ugliness is both physical and spiritual. And also aural, those death screams feel like retarded comedy sound effects. I can't even be aroused looking down in such an unsexy state of mind. I will try the second one but I honestly don't think it can make the list.
