Reading Cory Doctorow's Enshittification
"When ICC issued a warrant for Netanyahu's arrest ... Microsoft turned off the court's Outlook service. Without warning the justices lost their email, their documents, their calendars, their address books... "
Microsoft claims this was a coincidence. Doctorow does not believe them

Solidarity with @DrJillStein and the antiwar movement!
Drop the false charges against Jill Stein!
On April 27, 2024, students at Washington University in St. Louis, and Green Party Presidential candidate and antiwar activist Jill Stein, peacefully protested against the horrific genocide in Gaza.
Video of the protest shows the police assaulting the peaceful protesters, including an officer using a bicycle as a battering ram against Jill Stein and the students.
Stein is now being falsely charged with assaulting a police officer and trespassing during the protest.
This is blatant political retaliation, which in reality is directed against the antiwar movement as a whole, with the aim of making people afraid to protest.
I demand that St. Louis County drop these charges on Jill Stein immediately.
Stein in particular is being specifically targeted because she has had the courage to challenge both genocidal billionaire-backed protest parties in her campaigns for president. The Democratic Party in particular, which supported and funded the Israeli state's genocide and controls St. Louis County, wants to send a chilling message to anyone who would dare to challenge them like Stein has.
If Jill Stein were to be convicted, she could face up to 18 months in prison.
Students, working people, union members, and the antiwar movement must stand with Jill Stein.
Demand that the false charges on Jill Stein be dropped immediately!

I'm in my 40s. I'm a lawyer. My wife is a lawyer. We both work full time.
We cannot afford the house my parents purchased on a single electrician's income in their 30s.
We cannot afford the house my immigrant grandparents purchased on a single MTA bus driver's salary in their 30s. They had SIX CHILDREN.
For 30 years, politicians in Washington & their oligarch allies convinced regular people that this was just about avocado toast and fancy coffee.
In reality, this is end-stage capitalism. Everyone is stuck in place. It's impossible to buy a home. It's too costly to move. We work too much to have passion projects. We don't have enough savings to start our own businesses. We can't afford to go without healthcare to do it.
Thanks for writing this article @troy_closson. Would be very happy to discuss further.

À Strasbourg, hier, la police a tabassé deux manifestants déjà blessés et les street medics qui les soignaient.
Le monde entier doit voir ce que la police française fait à son peuple.

Late stage capitalism is when people who bought up property and fucked the housing market go on strike because they can’t force their guests to do domestic labor

Except no one in their right mind is voting for politicians who send bunker bombs to dismember, orphan, and murder children on a daily basis. We see how you move. teapawt.net/RamAbdu/status/2114079…
في أكتوبر عام 2024 تحدثت الطفلة لمى للصحفي همام الزيتونية عبر موقع @MetrasWebsite عن حلمها أن تنتهي الإبادة وأن تجتمع بوالدها، لكن الإبادة التي كان يفترض أنها انتهت، لم تنتهِ! فقتلتها هي ووالدها سويّاً في 9 فبراير من هذا العام.

Google should have to pay to replace every single one of those trees and be kicked out of Finland.
Google illegally cleared an estimated 250,000 trees across 330 hectares of forest in Muhos, northern Finland, to prepare for a new AI data center before completing mandatory environmental impact assessments
And another 150,000 trees felled at Otanmäki

Sure, Anthropic may have stolen all the world's intellectual property, destroyed the education system, incited mass layoffs among the corporate class, devalued all art and destroyed social trust but somehow they also managed to lose $80 billion in the first half of 2026

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

She literally held up her child to show she wasn’t alone, and the cops put a bullet through him. Good god

This woman was being peaceful and the police beat her with a billy club. This is state violence, which is funded by the same politicians who claim to be against violence. It’s all a sham. There is nothing more violent than capitalism and imperialism.
