Today in Labor History July 21, 1936: Anarchists created the Central Committee of Antifascist Militias of Catalonia, establishing an anarcho-syndicalist economy in Catalonia, after the defeat of a nationalist coup in Barcelona, led by Francisco Franco and other fascists. The anarchist militias of the CNT and FAI now firmly controlled the city, with over 30,000 troops, led by Buenaventura Durruti, and were able to take over control of the regional government in Catalonia from the other Republican factions.

The first six months of Donald Trump's second presidency have been the most "successful" of any American president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, according to an analysis conducted by Newsweek using AI.

The model defines success in terms of legislative accomplishments, taking into account what degree of control over Congress each president's party enjoyed over the relevant period.

Before structure comes the mold.
The formwork holds space — not forever, but just long enough for meaning to set.
It disappears, but its influence stays.
Without boundaries, even concrete becomes chaos.
**In a world afraid of limits — the formwork teaches discipline.**

SUSPECTED SABOTAGE OF THE HANDALA HOURS BEFORE LAUNCH TO GAZA

Urgent Call for Accountability and Safe Passage

Just hours before departure, the #Handala faced two alarming incidents: a rope wrapped around the propeller and a delivery labeled as water that contained a corrosive chemical, injuring crew members.

These may be calculated attempts to harm us and stop our mission. We will not be intimidated. We sail for the children of Gaza—against siege, starvation, and slaughter. We sail to break Israel’s illegal blockade and deliver life-saving aid and hope.

We call on the world to demand accountability and ensure safe passage for this civilian mission.

Preciso ironizar o que dizem os notórios jornalistas. Leia meu breve comentário mais abaixo.

📻️ Pedro Doria - Vida Digital CBN: Trump vai 'desligar' o #GPS no #Brasil? Saiba se é possível.

▶️ Áudio ~7min (MP3 ~7MB)

Palavras de Pedro Doria:

Digamos que os EUA conseguissem cortar todo o sinal de GPS no Brasil: a nossa vida usando Waze ou Google Maps ou Apple Maps não ia mudar nada.


Parágrafo da #ironia — Nossa, que alívio! Fiquem tranquilos, abiguinhos: o que pode dar errado, não é mesmo? Podem confiar que seu aplicativo de navegação megacorporativo estadunidense funcioná normalmente! :podeConfiar: :google: 🍎 🇺🇸 :picardFacePalm:

Por que os jornalistas em questão, tanto âncoras quanto, sobretudo, o nominado — pioneiro da presença brasileira da profissão na Web — não conseguem refletir sobre o que continuam afirmando? Não aprendem algo sequer com essa (ainda que hipotética) ameaça?

Normalizam e difundem a dependência da #BigTech (seja qual for) de forma irresponsável. Todas as citadas são sediadas no mesmo país que ergue o Big Stick e estão não apenas sujeitas a seu governante como também o apoiam ostensivamente.

Se, tecnicamente, é difícil ou quase impossível negar a utilização passiva de certos satélites, seria muito mais fácil simplesmente que tais conglomerados nos excluíssem dos serviços citados, como já fazem em diversos países. Não seria novidade. Nessa hipótese, o que faria a massa brasileira tão adestrada para depender deles? Vai poder contar com o jornalismo profissional mainstream para devida orientação somente quando não houver mais saída? Continuará predominando o #negacionismo tecnológico?

Aliás, o que ocorrerá quando seus tão desejados #Android Auto e Apple CarPlay cessarem nos seus veículos? Saberão o que fazer?

Comecemos ontem a difundir mais controle próprio sobre nossa computação e que sejamos menos controlados por ela. Isso inclui fortalecer software livre (mero "código aberto" não basta), dados comunitários e infraestrutura diversificada. Exemplo:

:securityLow: Waze / Google Maps / Apple Maps 👎️

:securityHigh: @openstreetmap@en.osm.town 📲 @CoMaps@floss.social ou (avançado) #OsmAnd 👍️

Pessoas que ainda contribuem com #mapas da BigTech: 🛑 parem agora! Mas que falta de opção SQN, chê! :guri:

Es ist jetzt ein Jahr her, als der Internationale Gerichtshof auf Antrag der UN-Generalversammlung sein Rechtsgutachten zur Lage in den besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten abgegeben hat.

Vor allem von westlichen Staaten wurde dies zum großen Teil ignoriert, während Israel die Situation nochmals dramatisch verschlimmerte.

Was hatte der ICJ damals festgestellt?

- die Besatzung jenseits der 1967er Grenzen ist komplett illegal.
- es liegt eine grobe Verletztung des Selbstbestimmungsrechts des palästinensischen Volks vor
- Präsenz und des Staats Israels in den OPT muss schnellstmöglich beendet werden, Siedler vollständig evakuiert und Kompensationen für Besatzung/Zerstörung/Vertreibung/Ausbeutung natürlicher Ressourcen gezahlt werden.

>>Israel’s continued presence in the oPt is unlawful because it violates the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination as well as the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by force.

Israel must bring its unlawful presence in the oPt to an end as rapidly as possible.

the Court held that Israel must cease immediately all new settlement activity, evacuate all settlers from the oPt, and make reparation for damage caused to all natural or legal persons concerned in the oPt. <<

Imagine how full of repressed hatred of Jewish people you yourself have to be to think it's remotely plausible that random UN staff from countries where people had never even heard of Jews until a hundred years ago spend all their waking hours and professional lives driven by a need to unfairly malign the Jewish state. Projection doesn't begin to capture it.

Only to actual antisemites can it seem inconceivable that other people might simply not care very much the Israel's ‘Jewishness' either way while doing their jobs.
