"I was beaten by Israeli police," says European MEP Rima Hassan after Sumud Flotilla detention
French Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan, of Palestinian origin, said she was beaten by 'Israeli' police after the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza.
Speaking to Agence France-Presse at Athens International Airport on Monday, where she arrived alongside other deported activists including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Hassan said, “I was beaten while being put into a police car by two Israeli officers.” Wearing gray prison garments similar to those worn by Thunberg, she added, “We have a lot to reveal,” condemning the treatment they received and affirming that “some of us were beaten.”
Hassan did not provide further details about the alleged assault, stating only, “Sometimes there were 13 to 15 of us in a single cell, not on beds but on mats on the floor… in the high-security Israeli prison in the Negev. We lacked everything.” Thunberg, speaking from Athens, also denounced “mistreatment and abuses” during her detention but did not go into specifics.

Why some federal workers aren't scared by the threat of shutdown layoffs
As the federal government appeared headed for a shutdown early last week, Jenna Norton joined a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol to urge lawmakers not to be cowed by the Trump administration's threat of mass layoffs."As a federal worker, I am here to tell you that every awful thing that would happen in a shutdown — shuttering programs that Americans rely on, damaging our economy, firing federal workers — all of this is already happening," said Norton, a program director with the National Institutes of Health, who spoke in her personal capacity alongside other civil servants.
...
Now furloughed, Norton continues to implore members of Congress to reject a spending deal that maintains the status quo. Instead, she hopes they'll use the moment to assert their constitutional authority — their power of the purse — to take back control of government spending.
"They accepted a position of power and privilege of representing the American people," Norton said in an interview with NPR. "If they're serious about doing that, they need to stand up and represent the American people and push back against a president who wants to be king."

They didn't just let it happen, what the picture shows is all the cars Israel says Hamas burned, but Hamas does not have the means to inflict that damage, they simply do not have weapons capable of doing that. Israel mowed down their own people with apache helicopters to blame Hamas and justify the genocide.
They've been looking for an answer to the Palestinian question for 75 years, and this was just what they needed.
The thing is, none of this is new, we've had the evidence (and testimony) that they killed their own people since day one, not to mention the genocidal intent expressed nonstop and the acting on it. No one has the credibility to say they didn't know, no one can say they didn't know the extent of the genocide, no less anyone in a position of power. Just pure evil, and everyone who preached at us about human rights is still to this day celebrating and congratulating Israeli leaders. Nazis, the lot of them.
Israel mowed down their own people with apache helicopters
I'm all for shitting on Israel but what event is this referring to? All I could find were debunked stories about the IDF somehow shooting Israelis on October 7th without any Israelis noticing
It's a common IOF practice known as the Hannibal Directive.
They don't have to avoid "any Israelis noticing" when their impunity is the rule rather than the exception.
Debunked?

There's plenty more, if you want to dig deeper.
Make some contextual analysis here. Hannibal directive + Apaches flying for hours dumping their ammo and reloading, hundreds of cars destroyed by advanced weapons Hamas does not have access to, and Israel announcing 1,500 victims before revising it down several times as they started sorting through everyone they killed and found Hamas fighters amongst them.

Thanks, that's a different wording than I was using. I thought you were implying something different and I was mostly seeing substack blogs.
I have been pro-palestine since before all this, for what it's worth.
Uh... RPG attacks don't stop cars on mass like that
::: spoiler spoiler
This is the sort of thing advanced military aircraft with machine guns and bombs do, and I don't think Hamas has that, when they strike in October 7.
The implication is that the Zionist Entity's military won't allow any of the Israelis to be captured and would rather commit Hannibal Doctrine, which includes the possibility of killing any potential captives, than let it be the former

Context, these are cars that contained both Palestinian and Israeli people, that were destroyed by Israel due to the Hannibal Directive.
the IDF fired on Israeli civilian hostages while they were being driven by Hamas militants into Gaza
The IDF confirmed this to be true, stating
it would not be morally sound to investigate these incidents [due to the complexity of the situation]
TLDR: Israel felt it better to kill their own citizens than to let them be taken hostage.

If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories?
like this
I’m an amnesiac and one of the first things I learned is that memories don’t really matter. The past is over, what matters is what you choose to do and not what you did. Obviously people do terrible and sometimes unforgivable things. I can sympathize with people who can’t let stuff go, but I personally just can’t be bothered by it anymore though. I have and will offer support to even my abusers.
To me, a person is how they act and what they want in the present. Lived experience affects everything a person does, the parts of a person’s past that are relevant reveal themselves in the present through how a person is.
Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America
Before a federal judge blocked Donald Trump from putting members of California’s national guard on the streets of Portland, Oregon, late on Sunday, the state’s Republican party welcomed the planned deployment in celebratory posts on social media.
“President Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon after a judge ruled that the Oregon National Guard could not be deployed to keep federal facilities and personnel in Portland safe,” Oregon Republicans wrote on their official Facebook, Instagram and X accounts.
On all three platforms, the statement was illustrated with an image that seemed designed to support Trump’s false claim that protests against immigration sweeps in Portland are so out of control that the city is “burning to the ground”. On one side of the image, a line of police officers held riot shields; on the other, a crowd of young men held up flares that lit up a night sky filled with red smoke.
On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart.

Dell Latitude Touchpad Deadzone and Fingerprint
I recently got my hands on a Dell Latitude E7470 and installed Fedora Workstation. Even though I enabled two finger scroll (and disabled touchpad edge scroll), the right side of the touchpad still has a dead zone of considerable size. So, when I start a mouse movement too far on the right side, it wont register.
I tried a few things, like adding quirk configs, but the zone is still there. Bios had no option to disable. (I reinstalled with UEFI, prior installation was legacy uefi / bios, so I have to give it a look again).
Does someone have a way to disable the dead zone?
Also, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. From what I could research, it is a broadcom device with officials drivers for MS and Ubuntu. I tried some stuff to get this thing running, but it didn't work out. I still have to try a bios update after the reinstall. Is there a way to get this thing running under Fedora? It's not a crucial feature, but a nice to have for sure.

So it looks like the touchpad problem is a known issue with that particular model. A web search turned up an Arch Linux forum post from 2017 with the same issue. Unfortunately, there was no solution posted.
Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right? I have a ThinkPad A475 with a PS/2 trackpad that won’t function at all in Linux unless I add i8042.reset as a GRUB argument.
Maybe see if that helps?
Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right?
Yes.
I am not an expert with GRUB at all. For some reason, this sounds very aggressive and with a high chance of side effects. Theres nothing of worth on the device though, so I guess I'll give it a try.

Post could also be titled "Oh, Smurfette™, baby, come to Papa . . ."
Of course, Papa Smurf must've shaved off his beard, tossed the goofy red hat, and put on some Just for Men hair coloring . . .
Or they could be merfolk, and all this is really happening underwater—who can say for certain?
Or even—how bout this: Andorians with really great tans who both used Just for Men hair coloring and had their horns surgically removed?
If I stare at this long enough, I kind of think that Ms. Blue Ladyperson, whether Andorian, mermaid, or Smurf, might actually be strangling the guy and saying something like "Give me back my bra, goddammit! It's fucking freezing in the garden of earthly delights this time of year!"
