"[Noam Chomsky] is, arguably, our greatest and most principled intellectual. I can assure you he is not as passive or gullible as his wife claims. He knew about Epstein’s abuse of children. They all knew. And like others in the Epstein orbit, he did not care. From the email correspondence between Epstein and Valéria it appears she particularly enjoyed the privileges that came with being in Epstein’s circle, but this does not absolve Noam’s acquiescence. Noam, of all people, knows the predatory nature of the ruling class and the cruelty of capitalists, where the vulnerable, especially girls and women, are commodified as objects to be used and exploited. He was not fooled by Epstein. He was seduced. His association with Epstein is a terrible and, to many, unforgivable stain. It irreparably tarnishes his legacy. If there is a lesson here, it is this. The ruling class offers nothing without expecting something in return. The closer you get to these vampires the more you become enslaved. Our role is not to socialize with them. It is to destroy them."

"The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability."

"As we sustain commitments to the collective struggle and insurgent caregiving in our local communities, in Minnesota and all occupied lands, we must remember to pause for deep belly breaths. To have a laugh, or give someone you love a lap dance. Or both at once. Ride high at dawn, whatever that means to you. Go wild. Be a little silly. Do it for the sake of the new world we’re all building in the ashes of the old. Do it for the sake of pleasure."

"Der Zürcher Psychiater Dominique Grandjean wurde wegen «Campari Soda» spät berühmt. Zu seinem Vermächtnis zählt auch Hertz, die beste Schweizer New-Wave-Band."

"Quand c’est les "camarades" qui violent, on fait quoi ? Cette semaine, dans Minuit Décousu, on essaie de tirer des fils pour y répondre avec des brochures, des archives autonomes allemandes, des squats non mixtes, le st-grâal de la justice transformatrice, des milieux qui implosent, une archive d’entretien du collectif Bagarre sur la brochure "Ceci n’est pas un call out" et une interview de Emeline Fourment - chercheuse sur la question des VSS dans les milieux libertaires."

"Cette perspective invite à penser les situations neurodivergentes non plus comme des identités minoritaires à protéger (perspective inclusive) ou des capacités à restaurer (modèle médicale), mais comme des devenirs à promouvoir et des agencements à rendre possibles. Ce n’est pas simplement une manière d’être autre dans une société injuste à laquelle il faudrait arracher des aménagements : c’est un rapport au monde, aux autres et à soi qui invente d’autres voies de subjectivation. La neurodiversité y devient un principe actif de reconfiguration des milieux de vie et non plus d’aménagements de modalités de fonctionnements dérogatoires à l’intérieur d’une normativité dominante."

"Some commentators have suggested that Gaza is now under “international trusteeship.” But it’s worse than that. It’s under Trump’s individual trusteeship. The Board of Peace authorizes him and his cronies to plunder the Strip for personal gain. What is emerging in Gaza may resemble less Mandatory Palestine between 1917 and 1948, which was ruled by the British government, than the Congo between 1885 to 1908, which was the personal property of one man, King Leopold II of Belgium."

"We are very proud to present 404 Media’s zine on the surveillance technology used by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. While we have always covered surveillance and privacy, for the last year, you may have noticed that we have spent an outsized amount of our attention and time reporting on the ways technology companies are powering Donald Trump’s deportation raids."

"You know "Dijaspora Baby" was our fun track, but this one is when Dashcam*Devi and Milena Patagônia get serious: "irl" is about when the spicy message is enough and you don't want it to happen in reality because it's so nicely written."

"If concrete measures are not adopted to limit the impacts of vessel traffic, underwater noise will continue to hurt whales, as well as other marine life, including fish and crustaceans, Lancaster said. Indigenous communities that rely on these marine ecosystems for food security may also be harmed."
