Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

Hungary Must Arrest Visiting Leaders Sought by ICC, Magyar Says Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he would halt the departure from the International Criminal Court that his predecessor Viktor Orban initiated, affirming that Hungary would respect ...

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute.

Frontex's Israeli spy drones keep taking a swim in the Med. This time off Malta. Must be the karma for a a surveillance programme that's burned through €200M+ in EU contracts just to watch people drown. War-economies and forced migration are two sides of the same coin.🧵

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.

Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.

Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.

With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

Israeli forces demolishing towns in Lebanon buffer zone, report says Israeli forces demolishing towns in Lebanon buffer zone, report says Israeli forces are moving ahead with demolitions of buildings in southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah, according to a report by Haaretz. Commanders cited by the newspaper said civilian homes, public buildings and schools are being systematically razed as part of a policy to “clear the area” within a buffer zone established by Israeli forces. The report said demolitions are being carried out by contractors, some paid based on the number of structures destroyed, and that entire towns are being levelled without a clear distinction between buildings used by Hezbollah and others. Israel has said the group uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes. Defence Minister Israel Katz said previously that homes in villages near the border would be demolished following a model used in the Gaza Strip to remove threats.  An ambulance and a fire truck are parked near a destroyed building in southern Lebanese village of Srifa on 19 April 2026.

Palantir delenda est

Palantir just released what can only be described as a corporate mass shooter manifesto.

palantir put out a poorly written statement that said “we’re nazis and you have to be nice to us or else” and nothing is gonna come from it because they have the most valuable stock in the world- why even take a marxism class when it’s all right here

Ex-model, arrested by Aventura police and deported, causes White House stir A Brazilian brought to the U.S. on an Epstein plane at age 16 lashes out at the Trumps, saying she was betrayed by her friend Melania.

So this is what prompted Melania to make that bizarre speech.

What’s incredible is that Ungaro’s tweets didn’t mention Epstein or claim Melania met Trump through Epstein, just that she had damaging info. So why did Melania leap to that the next day?

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm elections have been advised not to antagonise pro-AI campaign groups that have amassed more than $300mn to fight for the industry’s priorities. The warnings by top party consultants, corroborated by people close to four different campaigns and party strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity, come despite internal polling for Democrats showing widespread public support for tougher AI rules.

They're calling it the best democracy ever.
