F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree
Recently Google decided that in the future for an app to be installable on an Android device, the developer of this app needs to be ID'd and registered at Google. They claim this is in order to "to better protect users". However, I think, this is a move to get more control over the Android ecosystem, and the data they can collect with it. If anyone who wants to develop an app for Android devices has to be registered with Google, this puts all the power of who to allow distributing an app to Google.
Furthermore F-Droid shows, that safe app stores can exist without registration, neither of users nor of developers. There is zero malware or spyware on the F-Droid store. What there is on F-Droid is thousands of beautiful, useful and, most importantly, safe apps. And this entire ecosystem is at risk, because Google wants to gain more control over its users and over the Android operating system.

Fucked my computer trying to upgrade processor, please help me unfuck it
Installed a Ryzen 7 5700G processor to a Gigabyte GA-AB350M-HD3 motherboard. Plugged computer back in, hit power button. Computer powered on but no video output. Double-checked cables, then started Googling. Apparently this is commonly a result of an out-of-date BIOS. Got the latest BIOS update on a flash drive with my roommate's assistance, then went to put the old processor (a Ryzen 5 1500X) back in so that I could run the system BIOS and flash the update, at which point I learned that I accidentally bent several of the pins when removing it. Tried to seat the processor out of a sense of wishful thinking, and sure enough, no number of attempts would get the computer to turn on with it inside.
So, in short: I have a new processor my motherboard doesn't recognize, an old processor it does recognize but is now broken, and a BIOS update that would presumably let it recognize the new processor but that I can't install without a working processor. I've read that some Gigabyte motherboards support loading BIOS updates from a flash drive without a processor, but as far as I can tell, the GA-AB350M-HD3 isn't one of them. Not sure what I'm supposed to do here. I could order another Ryzen 5 1500X, but 1) that costs money and 2) I'd have to wait for it to arrive.

Rachel Corrie, The American Activist Who Was Crushed By An Israeli Bulldozer While Protesting In Gaza
On March 16, 2003, 23-year-old Rachel Corrie and several others were protesting against the demolition of Palestinian homes in the Gaza Strip city of Rafah. The Israeli government claimed that militants were using the structures to fire on soldiers, but Corrie and her fellow members of the International Solidarity Movement wanted to protect the families who lived in Rafah. When a bulldozer started to approach the home of a family Corrie was staying with, she stepped in front of the machine and began shouting through a bullhorn so it would stop — but the driver continued forward, crushing Corrie to death.
The operators claimed they didn't see Corrie because she was concealed behind a pile of debris. However, others there said Corrie was wearing a neon orange jacket and was clearly visible. One man later recalled, "Her head and upper torso were above the bulldozer's blade, and the bulldozer operator and co-operator could clearly see her. Despite this, the operator continued forward, which caused her to fall back, and out of view of the driver… she tried to scoot back, but she was quickly pulled underneath the bulldozer." Israeli officials ultimately ruled Corrie's death an accident.

I'm thinking about paying for a VPN, I currently don't use one.
I'd like to use Mullvad but they don't seem to have regional prices, while Proton does.
I wonder if Proton is still a reliable option, Proton is 60% cheaper in my country, probably because regional pricing (but I didn't check if it's really the case).
If anyone has any other suggestion I'd like to hear it.

Definitely Mullvad, the whole point of VPN is to stay private and Proton does not accept crypto while Mullvad does.
If the VPN has your payment details then any privacy just goes out the window.

The Private Conversation
The Private Conversation
The Threat Against the Cornerstone of Democracy and the Individual’s
Right to Choose Who Listens
Introduction
“Chat Control 2.0” is once again on the table, and one can’t help but wonder why our politicians are so eager to outlaw private conversation between citizens.
This is not the first open letter written about this legislative proposal. Many people far more technically competent than I have addressed lawmakers and voiced strong criticism against it, often with detailed and well-reasoned arguments. Yet these arguments have mostly fallen on deaf ears. Since our elected representatives seem unwilling to listen to the experts, I am instead turning to you, the people, the very ones who will be affected. Time is short, but our democratic rights are not yet lost.
We have had democracy for a very short time, as little as a few decades in some parts of Europe, The fact that it is so poorly protected, especially by those who are supposed to be its champions, is deeply tragic. Sitting in democracy’s front hall, they now cast their votes in the name of self-interest rather than in the name of the people. Let me make one thing absolutely clear right from the start: this legislative proposal uses children merely as a costume to conceal its true nature,
to open up Sweden’s and the EU’s citizens to mass surveillance.
Perverse Argumentation
Every objection to the proposal is met with the same response: “We just want to protect the children.”
This line is used to force opponents into a defensive position, where their moral intentions are questioned, instead of engaging them in a proper, mature debate. It is, quite simply, a deceitful form of argument.
Consider this: If someone were to oppose locking all children in isolation without human contact until the age of 18, on the grounds that it would “protect them” from online harm or exploitation, one could respond with:
“So you don’t want to protect the children?”
Most of us would recognize how absurd that is. Just because someone opposes total isolation of children doesn’t mean they wish them harm.
Questionable Motivation and False Pretenses
Let’s take a closer look at two specific paragraphs from the proposal currently on the EU agenda, soon to be voted on.
(2) “Those providers often being the only ones in a position to prevent or combat such abuse.”
It has always been, and will continue to be, parents who are primarily in the position to prevent their children from coming to harm online. The widespread apathy toward digital literacy among parents and the general public, ongoing since the late 1990s, bears much of the blame for why adults today are so detached from what their children do on their devices and on the internet.
Even today, in one of the world’s most digital societies, people still toss around phrases like, “I’m not good with technology,” “I’m technically incompetent,” or “I’m from the wrong generation to understand the internet.” But this isn’t a funny joke. Humanity sent people to the moon in 1969, radar was invented in 1904, and the internet has been publicly available for 30 years. Technology is not new.
Of course, there should be moderation on platforms where children are expected to frequently interact, but to claim that technology companies are the only ones in a position to prevent harm to children online is an admission of impotence. It reveals, quite clearly, the staggering technical ignorance of those who support this proposal.
If these lawmakers truly wanted to protect children from exploitation, and if this proposal wasn’t just a Trojan horse for mass surveillance, then why don’t they instead propose things like:
-Requiring parents to become digitally literate.
-Providing more resources to schools.
-Laws regulating children’s unsupervised use of the internet and smartphones.
-Support services for families and children targeted by grooming or online exploitation.Or even active police protection for every child.
Why not? Because that would cost money!
The cost of implementing this proposal will be astronomical, but that’s fine, because as a bonus, they’ll gain the ability to monitor the population. That is apparently priceless, unlike a child’s innocence, to which they’ve clearly assigned a monetary value.
Of course, I care deeply about our children and want them to be safe. But I cannot leave my children alone in Sarek National Park and then claim that the only ones who could have prevented them from getting hurt were the park rangers, and therefore, the rangers must have the right to listen in on everyone hiking in the wilderness.
The Return of the Class Society
(12a) “In the light of the more limited risk of their use for the purpose of child sexual abuse and the need to preserve confidential information, including classified information, information covered by professional secrecy and trade secrets, electronic communications services that are not publicly available… should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation…”
First, one must ask: how do the authors of this proposal even know how much CSAM (child sexual abuse material) passes through or within corporate internal communication systems? Moreover, they openly acknowledge here that there is a need to preserve confidentiality between two parties for communication that is not childporn.
But apparently, the individual citizen is not deemed worthy of this right. Companies, like feudal lords above the serfs, are placed above the individual. The proposal even carves out exemptions for what it calls “Bodies of Authority,” hammering home the vision of a return to a class-based society across Europe, where rights are stripped from ordinary citizens and reserved only for the so-called elite.
There’s an even darker implication here. Let’s unpack it logically:
• Lawmakers claim that encrypted communication is used by pedophiles to share child pornography.
• Yet they want scanning to apply only to individual citizens, while they themselves are exempt.
• Meaning: politicians want to retain the ability to freely share images and videos on the very platforms they describe as being “used” (and note they changed the wording from misused to used) for child pornography.
So, the only logical conclusion is that those who wrote, support, or vote for this law must either be pedophiles themselves, or wish to create an environment where such material can flow freely within the political and corporate elite, away from public scrutiny.
Do I seriously believe all supporters of the bill are pedophiles? No. Most are likely just useful idiots serving those who stand to gain power or money from it. But history is filled with examples of immoral people seeking positions of authority precisely because those positions lack oversight, so they can indulge their perverse desires at others’ expense.
Returning to paragraph 12a, its wording “in the light of the more limited risk” essentially says: a certain acceptable amount of child pornography is tolerable, as long as corporate interests and trade secrets remain unharmed.
In fact, if you read the paragraph literally, it implies that even a group like “The Berlin men who touch Boys. Inc.” could legally create a private organization and share child abuse material among themselves without oversight.
Let me repeat this clearly: this law’s only purpose is to lay the groundwork for a new class-based society, one in which the individual is perpetually considered suspicious and therefore must be watched by the elite to maintain order.
We cannot allow our elected officials to elevate themselves into a higher social class, standing above ordinary citizens.
A Tiger Without Teeth
We can ask more questions about this obsessive desire for surveillance. Suppose the law passes and comes into force. Let’s even ignore that only massive corporations will have the resources to implement this fantastical solution, and that it will not immediately expand into direct monitoring of all communication.
Do these technically infantile politicians truly believe that criminals won’t adapt? That they won’t find new ways, like TOR, which already exists? But of course, they can’t touch TOR, because many national security agencies depend on it for their own secret communications and operations.
I would even dare to say that the lawmakers probably don’t understand that it’s entirely possible for motivated and skilled groups to communicate secretly, in plain sight, online, using data that is neccesarily random.
A law like this will be like pouring wine on a goose: a complete waste of money, leaving only an angry goose, and the total decay of democracy, of course.
The Unspoken Consequences
The proposal suggests that one or several technical systems (never explained in detail) will automatically scan all images and videos shared between private individuals, to detect known illegal material, but also to identify new, previously unknown material.
First, this is not technically feasible today, not securely or reliably.
Second, it means that this “AI,” which must be a generative model trained on known illegal material, will by definition be capable of generating new child pornography itself if the model is inverted.
In other words, EU lawmakers want to build a child-porn-generating AI model trained on EU’s combined police databases.
Now imagine you send a picture of your toddler playing in the bath, or smiling on a changing table, to their grandparents. A completely normal, innocent family photo.
Would you want an unknown third party to have access to that image? Or for it to be absorbed into a generative AI that could then produce child pornography based on it?
The supposed safety of such a system would rely entirely on the hope that no ill-intentioned individuals ever gain access. But no system is secure.
Remember the Swedish Miljödata Data leak? Now imagine that instead of that data, it was all your private photos from every chat with your family, partner, and friends, open for anyone to search.
Clean Flour in the Wrong Bag
As historian Wilhelm Agrell once said:
“Clean flour in the wrong bag; even the most innocent are caught in the machinery of a surveillance society, and this is nothing new.”
He tells the story of April 29, 1978, when a carpenter named Torsten Leander parked his car at a schoolyard in Norrköping, not knowing that the area was reserved for attendees of a cultural association’s annual meeting.
It wasn’t an offense, but a local security agent recorded all license plates, and Leander’s name ended up in secret police files.
He had done nothing wrong, merely been unlucky enough to get caught in one of the Cold War’s invisible surveillance nets.
It is not up to individuals to prove their innocence. Our justice system was never meant to work that way.
Now imagine that same innocent family photo to the grandparents. If the automated scanner falsely flags it as child sexual abuse material, what happens?
Studies show that AI-based image and facial recognition systems vary wildly in accuracy, sometimes over 90%, but in other cases as low as 36%.
I wouldn’t board a plane with a pilot that inconsistent. Yet in this case, you could be wrongly branded a pedophile.
Good luck clearing your name, even if the investigation is dropped.
The Broken Trust
If this law passes, the foundation of a new class society will be cemented. Along with it, public trust will be irreparably broken.
How could we ever again trust our representatives, knowing that they so easily and ruthlessly discard our civil and human rights in the name of self-interest?
Final Words
I sincerely hope that you, the reader, found parts of this text absurd, because the truth is, the law being proposed is absurd.
Under the banner of “think of the children,” it seeks to dismantle the very foundations of a democratic society.
We cannot allow democracy to become a fleeting curiosity, a relic in the history books.
Capacity takes time to build, but motivation can change overnight.
We need only look across the Atlantic to see how quickly democracy can be dismantled. Laws once made with good intentions are now used to suppress free speech and democratic values.
I know it’s tedious to read EU legislation and proposals, but these 209 pages could be what cements European democracy as nothing more than a historical chapter.
The flour in your bag may be clean today, but who knows how it will be judged tomorrow?
Today it’s legal to criticize your government. Tomorrow, it might not be.

Explanation Of New Approach On Security Patches
Our security preview releases provide early access to Android Security Bulletin patches prior to the official disclosure. Our current security preview releases provide the current revision of the November 2025 and December 2025 patches for the Android Open Source Project. We recommend enabling this.The only difference between our regular releases and security preview releases are the future Android Security Bulletin patches being applied with any conflicts resolved. The downside of security preview releases is we cannot provide the sources for the patches until the official disclosure date.
The delay for being able to publish the sources is why we're now going through the significant effort of building 2 variants of each release. Our most recent 3 releases have both a regular and security preview variant:
2025092500 and 20250925012025092700 and 20250927012025100300 and 2025100301
You can enable security preview releases via Settings > System > System update > Receive security preview releases.
Our plan is to keep it off-by-default with a new page added to the Setup Wizard which will have it toggled on as a recommendation. We'll prompt users on existing installs to choose.
We're maintaining the upcoming Android security patches in a private repository where we've resolved the conflicts. Each of our security preview releases is tagged in this private repository. Our plan is to publish what we used once the embargo ends, so it will still be open source, but delayed.
The new security update Android is using provides around 3 months of early access to OEMs with permission to make binary-only releases from the beginning. As far as we know, GrapheneOS is the first to take advantage of this and ship the patches early. Even the stock Pixel OS isn't doing this yet.
During the initial month, many patches are added or changed. By around the end of the month, the patches are finalized with nothing else being added or changed. Our 2025092500 release was made on the day the December 2025 patches were finalized, but we plan to ship the March 2026 patches earlier.
Previously, Android had monthly security patches with a 1 month embargo not permitting early releases. For GrapheneOS users enabling security preview releases, you'll get patches significantly earlier than before. We'd greatly prefer 3 day embargoes over 3 month embargoes but it's not our decision.
Security preview releases currently increment the build date and build number of the regular release by 1. You can upgrade from 2025100300 to 2025100301 but not vice versa. For now, you can switch back to regular releases without reinstalling such as 2025092701 to 2025100300, but this may change.

Police make almost 500 arrests at Palestine Action protest in London
Police have arrested almost 500 people in London at what organisers hoped would be the biggest demonstration so far against a ban on the proscribed organisation Palestine Action.
Officers began arresting demonstrators at the silent vigil in support of the group, which has been classed by the UK government as a terror organisation since July this year.
The first arrest took place shortly after 1pm as the seated protesters took out pens and wrote signs showing support for Palestine Action. Dozens of police were lined up to begin arresting members of the group, who were sitting silently on the pavement in the square.

Career and privacy
I know this might come across as a very impractical expectation but I wanted to hear from people who have a fulfilling career and also a sense for privacy: How did you do it?
I've recently had trouble finding a new job in the tech sector. So far I've been doing alright without LinkedIn, just directly applying to companies, but it seems less successful now. So I thought what the hell, might have to do this after all. After I've made an account I got quickly banned for logging in once from a VPN connection. Only way to get unbanned is to give my government ID to them - but that really rubs me the wrong way (so many leaks of IDs recently and all).
I'm remaining banned for the moment, contemplating what impact this might have on my career. It gives me a fair bit of anxiety, considering that my sense of where my boundaries are seems to be deemed unacceptable by the monopoly of international job markets. Should I just give in and send my ID? Am I delusional?
As always, I appreciate the discourse of this wonderfully decentralized community we have here on lemmy! ☺️

I have the rare ability to not attach my career to my self worth. This makes it much easier for me to be happy regardless of what I do to get paid.
Honestly it sounds like you might be making things more difficult then they need to be. Does your threat model actually require you to take the actions you are taking?
fair point. my hobbies aren't expensive either so i could live a modest life.
however I wouldn't consider my anxiety as relating to a threat model - it's more like this:
if i go to a career fair, i might need to show a ticket but often there's no need to show anything.
this is a career site so their request for data should be at the same level. however they request as much data as an airport, which has much higher requirements to achieve passenger safety. i really hate that internet users are just fine with these invasive data requirements these days

“China’s Low Energy Rat Girls – Who and What are They?” — “Le Ragazze-Ratto a Bassa Energia Cinesi – Chi e Cosa sono?”
youtube.com/watch?v=pLLG9OGg3U…È davvero lollissimo stasera, che ho scoperto che persino il girlrotting è sfuggito così tanto di mano che in Cina sarebbe diventato una moda… Ma non nel senso solito per cui è bello e divertente e fa figo e allora se ne parla e si ride come faccio io, bensì proprio all’ennesima potenza per cui delle cosiddette ragazze-ratto (non ragazze-gatto eh, e già qui capiamo il tenore della cosa…) fanno di ciò il proprio stile di vita assoluto, assicurandosi e certificando che i soli momenti posseduti e vissuti nelle proprie giornate siano esattamente quelli di marcitura… Pubblicando video delle proprie giornate in cui non fanno niente, con a schermo gli orari, o in certi casi, a quanto dice il tizio, pure facendo dirette streaming… 🤩
Sarebbe qualcosa che, per quanto mi riguarda, approverei istantaneamente, ma… dove pare esserci il bello, c’è in realtà sempre la puzza, e questa scoperta non fa eccezione. Posso infatti abbattere tutte le belle vibe costruite col paragrafo precedente semplicemente dicendo che, come suggerisce il tizio del canale… molti video sono probabilmente falsi — con alcuni in cui la luce non risulta nemmeno ben coincidente con gli orari mostrati, che può essere un buon indicatore di menzogna — e le dirette, per quanto invece probabilmente legittime, lo sono solo per un motivo: questi ratti hanno i soldi. 💔
Ehh, purtroppo con le cose che si imparano su Internet non si può mai davvero godere, e dispiace in primis a me. Più precisamente, da un lato queste ratte si possono evidentemente permettere di avere davvero un simile stile di vita solo perché hanno i soldi, quindi non devono andare a lavorare (…o, forse, sono semplicemente parcheggiate all’università come me, però io durante le mie giornate non è che marcisco così pesantemente…), oppure, cosa che direi ancora peggiore, avranno ottenuto i soldi proprio creando questo tipo di contenuti (con le piattaforme ma temo anche donazioni)… che, oggettivamente, a parte il gran ridere, sono l’assoluto nulla — quasi peggio dei post che scrivo io quando rotto. E non so a questo punto cosa dire… ma il girlrotting che diventa business è praticamente un controsenso, quindi non mi pare bellissimo; marcite tutti, se lo volete, ma fatelo dal profondo del cuore!!! 👅

Hamas blasts “Netanyahu’s lies” of shifting to defensive operations after strikes kill 70 in Gaza
Hamas issued a statement saying that the continued ‘Israeli’ attacks and horrific massacres in the Gaza Strip expose what it called the "lies" of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding a reduction in military operations against civilians.
The group stated that strikes and "brutal bombing" since this morning have resulted in the deaths of 70 people, including children and women.
Hamas described the violence as a "bloody escalation" that contradicts Netanyahu's claims.
Indigenous resistance in Paraguay forces Peña’s government to back down
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6333975
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/72891
For several days, various Indigenous communities have been mobilizing and protesting in Paraguay against recent decisions of the right-wing government of Santiago Peña. Peña hails from the Colorado Party, one of the oldest parties in Latin America, which, incidentally, was the political base of the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner (1954-1989), one of the longest-serving dictators in 20th-century history.The protesters are demanding the resignation of the president of Paraguayan Institute of Indigenous Affairs (INDI) and the restoration of the institution’s headquarters.
On October 3, it was announced that this Indigenous struggle in Paraguay had been successful. The leaders of the protests said, “Our heroic resistance has paid off. Today, the first point of our demand was achieved: the dismissal of Ramón Benegas from the presidency of the INDI. Following this measure, we held a meeting with the new president of the INDI, Mr. Hugo Samaniego, to whom we reiterated our demands. The new president agreed to return INDI’s headquarters to Asunción, which will allow for the full reactivation of services to our brothers and sisters.”
In addition, the Indigenous organizations stated: “In light of this situation, we have decided to return to our communities and remain in permanent assembly, ready to take to the streets again if the commitment to reopen the INDI headquarters in Asunción, with all its services fully guaranteed, is not fulfilled. Once again, we have demonstrated the strength of our resistance and our struggle. Long live indigenous resistance! We continue to fight for life and dignity.”
However, the news has been silenced by the dominant national and international media, which have instead attempted to portray Paraguay as a country without significant social conflicts, even amid growing protests against the corruption of the Colorado Party. To better understand this moment of struggle, Peoples Dispatch spoke with Amado Arrieta, a Paraguayan journalist and member of the Popular Party.
Peoples Dispatch: What was the political context of the Indigenous communities’ protest?
Amado Arrieta: The political situation in Paraguay is quite worrying. We are in a state of regression. In Paraguay, narco-politics has taken over the powers of the state. In the last elections, phenomenal fraud was reported, but the institution responsible for the elections did not allow the voting machines and the envelopes where the records were kept to be audited. There were many complaints. In this context, the conditions were created for the Colorado Party movement, called Honor Colorado and led by Horacio Cartes, to have an absolute majority in Parliament. The United States canceled Cartes’ visa and declared him corrupt, among other things, and he is now unable to leave the country. He is practically the president in the shadows. Santiago Peña worked with the company linked to the Cartes family and obviously follows Cartes’ orders to the letter. And the other factor is that the United States evidently reached an agreement with that political movement, and Santiago Peña obeys everything the United States orders him to do.
PD: And what hold does the Cartes group have on Paraguay?
AA: There is a monopoly of all businesses by this political group [Cartes]. They own practically all the gas stations. The large chains, supermarkets, and the most important media chains were acquired by Horacio Cartes. So there is no critical journalism. There are very few alternative media outlets that try to highlight the other Paraguay that is not seen in the mainstream media. In line with this, our organization, the Popular Party, has a citizen media outlet that is about to celebrate its 14th anniversary and is the only left-wing media outlet in the entire country: Radio TV Paraguay. There is a feeling of weariness and hardship among the people, among many people. And within this hardship and mistreatment, Indigenous communities suffer the most.
PD: Why did the Indigenous people protest on this occasion?
AA: INDI, the Paraguayan Institute for Indigenous Affairs, is the government agency responsible for addressing and trying to meet the needs of Indigenous peoples. One day, Santiago Peña decided to close its headquarters in Asunción and supposedly open departmental offices with the excuse that this would facilitate administrative procedures. What the government really wants to avoid is Indigenous people coming to Asunción [the capital of Paraguay], because they often come and stage protests and camp around the INDI headquarters for months. That is why it closed the office. In fact, the government changed the INDI headquarters: it abandoned the historic building where the office had always been located and moved it to a military barracks to prevent Indigenous people from camping there. But it didn’t work, because the Indigenous people closed all the roads around it.
PD: So they requested the reopening of their headquarters…
AA: The Indigenous mobilization began with the demand that the headquarters in Asunción be reopened, basically because all the institutions that can help meet the needs of the Indigenous peoples are in Asunción, not in the departmental capitals. So it makes no sense to open several departmental offices with the excuse that this will facilitate the process, because it is not true. After all, ultimately everything is resolved in Asunción. [The Indigenous people] met, I don’t know how many times, with the president and other government authorities to try to negotiate the reopening, but it was impossible. So the Indigenous mobilization hardened, and what they asked for in the first place was the reopening of the headquarters. [And now] they are calling for the removal of the current president. They are asking for more budget for land acquisition and an end to the evictions and violent abuses suffered by the communities.
The mobilizations lasted 11 days and closed roads in the departmental capitals. [At the protest sites] riot police, prosecutors, and governors appeared, trying to engage in dialogue and threatening to evict them from the roads to allow free transit, which is a constitutional guarantee, but so is mobilization and protest.
PD: Which Indigenous peoples protested?
AA: Basically, they are all Indigenous peoples from the western region, or Paraguayan Chaco, and the eastern region.
PD: What were the Indigenous peoples’ means of protest?
AA: They blocked roads. In some places, it was intermittent, meaning they would close the road for an hour and then open it for 30 minutes. But in other places, they closed the roads for four or five hours. It depends on where the Indigenous people are most numerous, so in those places the measures are also stronger. Some roadblocks last four or five hours and cause traffic jams stretching for miles. Consequently, there were protests against the roadblocks. Only after several days of protests did the media begin to talk about the mobilization, but they said that the Indigenous people were breaking the law and preventing free transit, always criminalizing the measures and never talking about the underlying problem, what the Indigenous people are asking for and demanding.
PD: What was the response of the Peña government?
For several days, the government’s response was absolutely nothing. We have an almost dictatorial government that finds it difficult to engage in dialogue. Suffice it to say that Santiago Peña is currently in Brazil, where he went for two days. He cares little or nothing about what is happening. But the inconvenience caused by the protests, the hellish traffic jams, and the loss of time throughout practically the entire country forced him to engage in dialogue.

As Israeli Forces Seize Final Sumud Boat, Another Flotilla Sails Toward Gaza

By Jessica Corbett, Common Dreams, October 4, 2025
As Israeli forces on Friday captured the last remaining vessel from the Global Sumud Flotilla that aimed to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and deliver humanitarian aid, another group of boats was headed for the Palestinian territory.
The 11 vessels, most of which started sailing last week, are “carrying over 150 healthcare workers, journalists, and activists,” according to organizers, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) and Thousand Madleens to Gaza.
“As journalists and medical professionals, we carry the responsibility to speak truth and preserve life,” said Dr. Ricardo Corradini, a general surgeon from Italy, in a statement. “This mission is an appeal to our colleagues—and to the institutions that represent us globally—to break their silence, uphold their ethics, and stand on the right side of history.”
FFC highlighted earlier this week that the ship ”Conscience, bombed by Israel off the coast of Malta in May 2025, has returned to serve as a vehicle for medics and media determined to reach their colleagues in besieged Gaza.”
Huwaida Arraf, an FFC steering committee member aboard Conscience, said that it “is the latest and largest boat in this historic flotilla—and its name represents not only steadfast resistance to Israel’s illegal blockade, but a call to awaken the conscience of the world.”
Since Israeli forces began intercepting Global Sumud Flotilla vessels late Wednesday, a fresh wave of global protests has occurred. People around the world have repeatedly taken to the streets over the past two years, as Israel has responded to the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack by devastating infrastructure across Gaza, including healthcare facilities, wounding at least 169,165 Palestinians, and slaughtering at least 66,288.
Experts warn the true death toll in Gaza is likely much higher. Among the dead are many doctors and nurses—one count, from Healthcare Workers Watch, said at least 1,200 as of February. Israel’s killing of Gaza’s healthcare professionals continued this week with the death of Omar Hayek from Doctors Without Borders, or Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
The Israeli attack that killed Hayek and wounded four others “took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al-Balah. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers,” the group said Thursday. “We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir al-Balah.”
Also among the dead are over 200 journalists, with recent tallies ranging from 223 to 270. The Israeli government has prevented international reporters from entering Gaza—and has been widely accused of intentionally killing Palestinian journalists who have reported on the genocide while trying to survive it.
Global press freedom groups have frequently spoken out against Irsael’s treatment of journalists, including this week, when Israeli forces took members of the media into custody while blocking the Global Sumud Flotilla from reaching Gaza.
“Arresting journalists and preventing them from doing their work is a serious violation of the right to inform and be informed,” said Martin Roux, head of the Crisis Desk at Reporters Without Borders, or Reporters Sans Frontières (RSF), in a Thursday statement.
“RSF condemns the illegal arrest of the news professionals who were on board these ships to cover a humanitarian operation of unprecedented scale,” Roux continued. “The Israeli army, which has killed over 210 Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, is continuing its media blockade of the Gaza Strip with these illegal arrests at sea, with the obvious goal of covering up the crimes it is committing against the Palestinian population. RSF urges Israel to respect the status of journalists, protect them, and guarantee their safety in accordance with international law.”
Early Friday, the flotilla announced on Instagram that ”Marinette, the last remaining boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla, was intercepted at 10:29 am local time, approximately 42.5 nautical miles from Gaza.”
According to the flotilla, whose more than 450 members included politicians, actors, and activists from dozens of countries:
Over 38 hours, Israeli occupation naval forces illegally intercepted all 42 of our vessels—each carrying humanitarian aid, volunteers, and the determination to break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza.Marinette sailed forward with the spirit of sumud—steadfastness—even after seeing the fate of 41 boats before her.
But this is not the end of our mission. Our determination to confront Israel’s atrocities and stand with the Palestinian people remains unshaken.
As people rise up in cities worldwide to demand an end to these horrors and to take a stand for humanity, we rise together with one voice.
We will not stop until the genocide ends. We will not stop until Palestine is free.
Until the interception, the flotilla faced repeated attacks widely believed to be from Israel, whose Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday continued to smear the peaceful humanitarian mission as the “Hamas-Sumud provocation” and a “sham.”
“Already four Italian citizens have been deported. The rest are in the process of being deported. Israel is keen to end this procedure as quickly as possible,” the ministry said on social media. “All are safe and in good health.”
In a Friday statement about the Global Sumud Flotilla, Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil rights group in the United States, said that “the detention of these humanitarian volunteers, including American citizens, is deeply troubling and completely unacceptable.”
“These are civilians engaged in delivering essential aid to people in desperate need in Gaza,” he continued. “Denying them legal counsel, holding them incommunicado, and putting them at risk for simply performing humanitarian work is a flagrant violation of human rights and the principles the United States stands for. We urge the US government to act immediately to secure their safe release and make clear that targeting Americans performing humanitarian missions will not be tolerated.”
Under President Donald Trump and his Democratic predecessor, the United States has provided Israel with diplomatic support on the global stage and billions of dollars in military aid. Joined at the White House on Monday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who is wanted by the International Criminal Court—Trump unveiled a proposed peace plan for Gaza.
In a long post on his Truth Social platform Friday morning, Trump railed against Hamas and gave the group that has governed Gaza for the past two decades until Sunday at 6:00 pm Eastern Time to agree to his proposal. Trump wrote, “If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas.”
