Damn. What a legacy, what a life, what a loss. And every good she did, some other man took credit for. A giant. Rest in justice, luchadora.

Idk how we’ve gotten to a point where we speak ill of the dead the day they pass, especially women of color survivors, because they weren’t perfect, organizing in the 70s without social media scrutinizing their every move. We know how our elders fell short. She’s dead now.

We have released Zero Breach Toolkit, a free open sourced tool capable of detecting over 12,100 traces of Israeli & other spyware on your devices. It works on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and Iphones. You can download it here: github.com/interplains/Zero-… Inside the folder with the tools run this command: python -X utf8 scan/zero-breach-toolkit.py It never writes to disk, never connects to the internet, or ask for admin perms. It takes around 10-15 minutes to run depending on the device. This project is fully open source, so feel free to take the code and use it to create your own tools. If you find some spyware on your device, consider sending it to us via telegram. Leave us a star on GitHub if the tool helped you. Follow our backups: @ZionismExposedx @IsraelExposedAr God bless

Y'all please don’t make fun of this. We either want people to read and understand the text according to the technological practices they’re comfortable and familiar with already, or not. These generations did not learn phonics, so stop dunking on them just to feel superior
wake up babe, people are about to discover reading.

Haha Sianne Ngai and her analysis of home appliances as enhancers of domestic and sexual labor as applied to Nara Smith, tech, and trad wife aesthetics (I need to get over my fear of pitching and rejection dude, this should have been an article)

For @WIRED, I spoke with Macmillan and PRH staff about AI at the rest of the Big Five. I also spoke with bestselling authors who've gone to "war" with publishers over AI use and are now demanding disclosures and threatening to leave their publishers altogether.

And then there is Arundhati Roy, who writes about Berger like a secular angel
a lot of the John Berger stuff is like "can a critic be an art monster?"

The Haitian Revolution freed enslaved people everywhere by showing them one tiny island could resist huge imperial powers and win.

THIS IS ALL ABOUT STOLEN DIAPERS! This is video of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley's coffin being carried at his funeral. Wiley was shot by police at a Walmart when a police officer fired into the car he was riding in.., trying to apprehend someone accused of steal diapers

Despite how happy I am for Brazil, the hypocrisy of the international applause is hard to ignore. The same actors cheering Lula’s 4th term called Chávez a dictator for it and vilified PSUV for “human rights abuses” while turning a blind eye to Lula’s troops committing rape and war crimes in Haiti. Lula is afforded their sympathy because he maintained neoliberal economics, played nice with Noboa and Jolani, blocked Venezuela from BRICS, and aligned with U.S. intervention abroad. This election result is, without a doubt, a victory for the sovereignty of Latin America against egregious election interference. But not all those applauding are cheering for our sovereignty. And, as yet another Latin American country joins U.S. mercenaries in Haiti, it’s pretty gross that certain ‘human rights activists’ (especially the Latin American pachamama libs) ignore the stain on humanity that was MINUSTAH simply because it was in service of the U.S. interests.
