Interview: "Judge Blocks Mahmoud Khalil’s Deportation as Trump Vows More Arrests"
Khalil’s unprecedented arrest is to punish antiwar student activists & is part of Trump’s racist & fascist agenda.
~Murad Awawdeh
If the intent was to silence free speech, it's not working.
And, as the anti-genocide movement is mostly made up of Americans, the administration can't deport its way out of this situation.

Now the Miami Beach mayor wants to close down a local theatre that screened it.
The mayor described No Other Land as a “false one-sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people that is not consistent with the values of our City & residents”.
He is introducing legislation that would terminate the cinemaks lease & discontinue ~$40,000 support.

[13:32] Dosba: hét telefoonnummer van opensource in Nederland
De Nederlandse ict-sector heeft er een nieuwe vereniging bij: de Dutch Open Source Business Alliance, oftewel Dosba. Zij wil de vertegenwoordiger zijn van op opensource gerichte it-bedrijven, gevestigd in Nederland. Doel is om deze bij elkaar te brengen en een primair aanspreekpunt te zijn voor deze bedrijven én de publieke sector. Dosba is eigenlijk een voortzetting van de VOSN (Vereniging Open Source Nederland). Marcel Kornegoor, een van de kartrekkers, geeft tekst en uitleg.

✊ LEADING. RESISTING. SURVIVING. THRIVING 💜
Women are on the frontlines of environmental and social justice—leading movements, defending land and water, and fighting for their communities. Yet, they are among the first to suffer the consequences of climate chaos, war, and economic injustice.
While we celebrate progress and call to accelerate action, we must recognise the struggle. Women’s leadership in the fight for a just and liveable world must be supported and protected.

I was rubbing my sticky paws together with glee yesterday as I was going to start a hashtag called Thursdoor or DonnerTür in German for posting doors, because I love doors 🤣
However, some clever person has already started this under the hashtag #DoorsDay 🚪
So all that is left to do is to celebrate by sharing your favourite doors on Thursdays with the hashtag #DoorsDay 😉
Here's an epic door I found recently 😊
Good day, wanderers. We live in frightening times. Many of us live in parts of the world where compassion, the most important human emotion, has been ground into the dirt by cyberpunk villains.

We call for the case – happening this Friday – to be held in the open as a matter of public interest!

in reply to Open Rights Group • • •The “case implicates the privacy rights of millions of British citizens who use Apple’s technology, as well as Apple’s international users.”
“End-to-end encryption cannot be broken in a targeted manner – once a ‘backdoor’ into the system has been created, it can be exploited by anyone, putting the privacy and security of all users at risk.”
With such high stakes, we demand to know what could possibly justify it.

in reply to Open Rights Group • • •📣 Make your voice heard through the secrecy!
By ordering Apple to break encryption, the UK government has put millions at a higher risk of their personal data, documents and photos falling into the hands of criminals and predators.
The secret tribunal is taking place this Friday – we need to take a stand for encryption!
