"'I worry about how many other people are experiencing this kind of censorship without it being reported,' Goldin said."

Excellent piece in @hyperallergic.com by Rhea Nayyar. A shout-out to the stellar @smohyeddin.bsky.social for breaking the news.

I visited Gaza in 2009, just months after the Cast Lead massacre. What I saw then shocked and changed me — and there are no words for what has been destroyed now.

We need to end this genocide and dismantle Israel’s apartheid system.

Let the historical record note that the business elites at Davos repeatedly laughed during a fascist speech that declared intent to annex another country’s land, promoted election conspiracies and railed against the free press

Great article by @smohyeddin.bsky.social on how this coopting affects protestors on the ground.
Opinion: Iranian protesters need solidarity. They’re being sabotaged instead
Political endorsements from the U.S. or Israel muddy the waters and give Tehran’s authoritarian forces the justification they need to crush dissent

About half of the politically active accounts on Israeli social media are not real people but rather bots, including many of those boosting posts by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of his right-wing coalition, according to an investigation by Channel 12 news.

He let four NY Times reporters eavesdrop on a call with the President of Colombia, then bragged to them after that kidnapping Maduro was intimidating other world leaders to fall in line?
Shortly after four New York Times reporters sat down to speak with him, Mr. Trump paused the interview to take a call from President Gustavo Petro of Colombia, days after Mr. Trump threatened to target the country because of its role as a cocaine hub. As the call was connected, the president invited the Times reporters to remain in the Oval Office to hear the conversation with the Colombian president, on the condition that its contents remain off the record. He was joined in the room by Vice President JD Vance and Mr. Rubio, both of whom left after the call concluded. After speaking to Mr. Petro, Mr. Trump dictated to an aide a post for his social media account saying that the Colombian president had called "to explain the situation of drugs" coming out of rural cocaine mills in Colombia and that Mr. Trump had invited him to visit Washington. Mr. Petro's call - which ran about an hour - appeared to dissipate any immediate threat of U.S. military action, and Mr. Trump indicated he believed that the decapitation of the Maduro regime had intimidated other leaders in the region to fall into line. During the lengthy conversation with The Times, Mr. Trump reveled in the success of the operation that broke into the heavily-fortified compound in Caracas and resulted in the capture of Mr. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

CBC employees’ union dues indirectly funded the same firm calling for their jobs to be eliminated. Likewise, the firm behind Canada Proud — one of Canada’s leading critics of public broadcasting — ran a campaign on behalf of CBC workers. Stunning finding from @rorywh.bsky.social
The same firm ran a campaign to save CBC — and Canada Proud's push to defund it
“It's like the Trump administration promoting Biden in an ad campaign,” said Ahmed Al-Rawi, Director of the Disinformation Project at Simon Fraser University. “This is unreal, like science fiction.”

Last week, we published a story detailing ICE's strategy for recruiting new officers, including targeting "gun rights" supporters and geo-fencing ads around gun shows.

Ex-ICE director told me: “That mentality you’re fostering tends to inculcate in people a certain aggressiveness"
