My friend Mimi connected me to Motaz, whose parents needed help desperately in Gaza. I'm serving as the anchor bank account for this family's campaign. It will be used exclusively by the family here to manage their donation funds.

Maysam and her family deserve life. Thank you

This image displays a feed of independent journalism archived by Harms Committed under #Palestine.

The top of the image includes a back button, a share button, and '#palestine From @harmscommitted.bsky.social.'

There are two tabs to sort the archived articles, 'Top' and 'Latest.' The 'Latest' tab is highlighted, having been selected.

Below these tabs is a representative post, featuring 3 quotes from the article and relevant hashtags.

The article's title is "Canadian aboard intercepted Gaza flotilla calls on Ottawa to help stop Israel’s genocide."

Description of photo: Nimâ Machouf is positioned at the front of the image. She is wearing a purple jacket. Behind her is the Conscience vessel sailing toward Gaza.

The post's text reads as follows:
"Israel intercepted and seized a civilian flotilla that included six Canadians this morning."

"Canada should protect us."

"Call now, get to your keyboards now to put pressure on the Canadian government."

I NO LONGER RECOGNIZE MYSELF…
The person I once was is buried beneath the ruins of these endless nights.
My heart carries more pain than it can bear.💔

Every breath I take feels borrowed,
and every sunrise reminds me that I survived…
but I’m not truly alive.

@mommunism.bsky.social My friends,

We live in a tent after losing everything... home, safety, and even warmth.

Every day we struggle for food, medicine, and shelter.

Your donation and participation could save our lives and restore hope to my family.

it is the second night of sukkot so this is the story of how i started the tent city at occupy wall street by building a sukkah

"Build Yourself a Sukkah!": How Occupy Judaism Transformed the Movement

On the second anniversary of Occupy and with Sukkot approaching, we remember how Occupy Judaism used Jewish ritual as a form of direct action – transforming sacred rites into acts of justice.

Nightshade: Protecting Copyright

Since their arrival, generative AI models and their trainers have demonstrated their ability to download any online content for model training. For content owners and creators, few tools can prevent their content from being fed into a generative AI model against their will. Opt-out lists have been disregarded by model trainers in the past, and can be easily ignored with zero consequences. They are unverifiable and unenforceable, and those who violate opt-out lists and do-not-scrape directives can not be identified with high confidence.

But then she's wearing a user hat, so that means she gets to be an ordinary user.

Yeah, its a lot of twisting around the nature of rank and power itself.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

The impression I'm have gotten is the poopsky team doesn't read posts when they manage the site. They pull levers and push buttons and the code deletes the people they dislike and they tell themselves they bear no responsibility, innocent buttons and levers all day.
