During the Berlin protest today, police used force against a peaceful demonstrator supporting Gaza. The arrest occurred as participants gathered to voice their opposition to the ongoing Israeli genocide on Gaza and to call for justice for Palestinians.

Not all troops engage in atrocities but this kill anything/everybody mindset is endemic to the American way of war -- and has been since before the dawn of the Republic. I chronicled it re: Vietnam War. Others have done so in terms of other conflicts and contexts

Read the letter:
“Dear President von der Leyen, We, experts in artificial intelligence (Al) and its societal impacts, are deeply concerned about your unscientific and inaccurate statement that Al is nearing human reasoning. You claimed in your budget speech in May "we thought Al would only approach human reasoning around 2050. Now we expect this to happen already next year." We understand from Commission disclosure, which followed a lengthy process to obtain this information, that you relied on the statements of Dario Amodei, Jensen Huang and Sam Altman as the basis for your statement about Al nearing human reasoning. These are marketing statements driven by profit-motive and ideology rather than empirical evidence and formal proof. In short, these tech CEOs claims concerning "superintelligence" and "AGI" are manifestly bound with their financial imperatives and not rigorous science. For the President of the European Commission to repeat the misleading marketing language of US technology firms without independent scientific verification undermines Europe's credibility as a reliable and trusted source of scientific knowledge. This is particularly so amidst a significant speculative bubble to which baseless Al hype is contributing. It also undermines the ability of Commission staff to evaluate the claims of Al vendors at a time when the Commission regulates them and procures Al services. The Commission has the duty to diligently assess claims made by industry and to determine with impartial and scholarly analysis where best the objectives of the Union should be pursued. The scientific development of any potentially useful Al is not served by amplifying the unscientific marketing claims of US tech firms. We call on you to: 1. retract your statement on Al approaching human reasoning next year; 2. diligently evaluate other such marketing claims about Al products; and 3. ensure you have the benefit of the necessary impartial scientific advice in future.”

NEW: St. Louis, MO has just passed a resolution to divest from corporations complicit in human rights abuses (including occupation, apartheid, genocide, or racism) within the city and abroad.

Becomes the biggest city in the US to pass such a resolution, according to organizers.
BREAKING: St. Louis City Passes Resolution to Divest from Corporations Complicit in Human Rights Violations In a 10-1-3 vote, St. Louis becomes the largest city in the U.S. to pass ethical investment resolution ST. LOUIS, MO — This morning, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen passed a groundbreaking resolution, “Ensuring Ethical Investment of City Retirement Funds,” ensuring that city retirement investments align with St. Louis’s commitment to human rights, racial justice, and peace. Backed by the grassroots coalition Not Another Nickel, the resolution was sponsored by Alderman Rasheen Aldridge and co-sponsored by President Megan Green, Alderwoman Alisha Sonnier, and Alderman Shane Cohn. The measure calls on the Board of Trustees of the Employees Retirement System of the City of St. Louis to divest from any companies that profit from—or are complicit in—human rights abuses, including war, occupation, apartheid, or systemic racism. It also directs the city to ensure all investments meet the ethical guidelines established by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). With this vote, St. Louis becomes the largest city in the United States to adopt a divestment resolution of this kind. The decision comes amid a national wave for justice and ethical governance during this election week. Over 50 people showed up to give public testimony Wednesday in support of the resolution when it was in committee. “This is a historic moment for St. Louis,” said Ray Brown, spokesperson for the Not Another Nickel Campaign and member of Jewish Voice for Peace St. Louis. “We’ve seen our city take a bold stand for justice in calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza. Now, the city has taken the next step—ensuring our resources are not being used to fund human rights violations anywhere.” This resolution builds on St. Louis’s ongoing commitments to human rights, including the January 2024 Board of Aldermen resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and recent budget vict…

Do not expect the violent dehumanisation and dystopian military technologies perfected in Gaza to remain there. Our dark history tells us otherwise. What a pity we did not heed its lessons.

O militante socialista e anticolonialista africano Julius Kambarage Nyerere faleceu neste dia em 1999. Sua tentativa de construir o socialismo na Tanzânia falhou, mas sua luta continua sendo uma força revigorante para demandas anticoloniais hoje.
