🔥✊ Rebellion Commune : Action de masse le 21 mars à Paris 🗼
🗳️ Les 15 et 22 mars, la France connaîtra une nouvelle phase d'élections pour élire les conseillers municipaux des presque 35 000 communes du pays. Ces élections se déroulent dans un contexte très particulier : normalisation de l'extrême droite et montée du fascisme partout dans le monde, déni de démocratie du président de la république lors des dernières élections législatives, décisions politiques irresponsables eu égard à la crise écologie mondiale (climat, biodiversité, pesticides, pollutions plastiques, etc.), répression policière extrêmement violente de tous les mouvements sociaux au cours des mandats d'Emmanuel Macron, déresponsabilisation des pays occidentaux dans les génocides en Palestine, Soudan et Myanmar, ou dans d'autres conflits armés comme en Ukraine ou au Congo, ainsi que dans le soulèvement de la gen Z contre le système en place un peu partout dans le monde, etc.
✊ C'est pourquoi il est de notre devoir, à nous les citoyen·nes, de nous réapproprier la démocratie et d'imposer le bon sens à nos élus** ! Alors rendez-vous le 21 mars 2026 à Paris, la veille du second tour des élections, pour une grande mobilisation de masse pour faire entendre notre voix haut et fort 📣

Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist who leads the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, said a person’s right to refuse a vaccine outweighed concerns about illness or death from infectious diseases.
This approach means a lot of dead and paralyzed kids. You can eliminate a lot of infectious disease if everybody who can gets vaccinated. You can't when 10% of the population refuses.

“If we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.” The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, was the darling of Davos this week as he rallied resistance to Donald Trump’s smash and grab politics and his voracious appetite for other countries’ wealth and land.
“Call it what it is,” he told delegates. “A system of intensifying great power rivalry, where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as coercion”. He urged “middle powers” to band together or be crushed, and was rewarded with a standing ovation.
Attended by thousands of business leaders, politicians and academics, the annual meeting in the Swiss mountain resort is usually focused on the state of the global economy and its toughest challenges, from the climate crisis to inequality.
This year, however, Trump’s dramatic threat to slap tariffs on eight European countries – including the UK, France and Germany – if they failed to back his attempt to seize Greenland, put dog-eat-dog geopolitics centre stage.

A breakfast restaurant, a bike shop, and a brewery: these are some of the hundreds of businesses across Minnesota closing their doors Friday as part of a general strike to push Immigration and Customs Enforcement out of the state.
“There’s a time to stand up for things, and this is it,” Alison Kirwin, the owner of Al’s Breakfast in Minneapolis, told the New York Times. Kirwin is closing up shop for the day as part of the wider strike to push “ICE out of Minnesota”—the motto for the protest. “If it takes away from a day of our income,” Kirwin said, “that is worthwhile.”
The general strike, along with planned demonstrations and a march, is a part of what organizers are calling a “Day of Truth and Freedom.” The event will involve protests, prayers, and fasting—whether it be from food, work, or economic activity. The day is being organized by a coalition of clergy members and supported by many businesses, movement leaders, labor organizers, and even the entire Minneapolis City Council.

Google Has Chosen a Side in Trump's Mass Deportation Effort
Google is hosting a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while simultaneously removing apps designed to warn local communities about the presence of ICE officials. ICE-spotting app developers tell 404 Media the decision to host CBP’s new app, and Google’s description of ICE officials as a vulnerable group in need of protection, shows that Google has made a choice on which side to support during the Trump administration’s violent mass deportation effort.
Google removed certain apps used to report sightings of ICE officials, and “then they immediately turned around and approved an app that helps the government unconstitutionally target an actual vulnerable group. That's inexcusable,” Mark, the creator of Eyes Up, an app that aims to preserve and map evidence of ICE abuses, said. 404 Media only used the creator’s first name to protect them from retaliation. Their app is currently available on the Google Play Store, but Apple removed it from the App Store.
“Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now,” Mark added.
💡 Do you know anything else about Google's decision? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.
The CBP app, called Mobile Identify and launched last week, is for local and state law enforcement agencies that are part of an ICE program that grants them certain immigration-related powers. The 287(g) Task Force Model (TFM) program allows those local officers to make immigration arrests during routine police enforcement, and “essentially turns police officers into ICE agents,” according to the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU). At the time of writing, ICE has TFM agreements with 596 agencies in 34 states, according to ICE’s website.

Apple dropped an ICE tracking app from its online store Thursday in response to the Department of Justice raising concerns that the app put law enforcement officers’ safety at risk.

As of today, the US is no longer a member of the World Health Organization—and it leaves the United Nations health agency with hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid bills, according to reporting by Stat News.
Khaled Al-Batsh, coordinator of the national and Islamic forces in Gaza and a member of the political bureau of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said the formation of the national committee to manage Gaza is “an urgent step and a bridge forward.”
Al-Batsh told reporters on Thursday that Palestinian factions “will not stop at simply supporting the national committee. We will monitor its work and performance, and provide help and guidance where needed,” according to the Palestinian Sama News Agency.
He added that Palestinian factions have no comment for now on US President Donald Trump’s peace council, but stressed that “what matters is that the committee performs its role professionally. The factions will not obstruct its work or place obstacles in its way.”
The Palestinian leader also called for national unity to end the political division and lay the foundation for a comprehensive national stage that restores the political system based on partnership rather than exclusion.
He urged the national committee to return to Gaza, start its work, and begin implementing plans for recovery, community relief, and ultimately the reconstruction of the territory.
Al-Batsh described Israeli threats to hinder the committee’s work as “a display of the bullying exercised by Netanyahu’s government in full view of the world.”
As the Times noted, he said that “he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after his loss in the 2020 election.”
As the Times observed, “Mr. Trump’s expression of regret … was ... a warning sign that he had not given up on the idea that voting machines were dangerous or that they could be seized in an effort to curb fraud.” We should take that warning seriously.
So far, the leaders of the Democratic party have not. They have focused on mobilizing to compete successfully in November, but have done little to ensure the election is not rigged through executive action, intimidation, or interference with vote counting.

You can even see the spike in traffic that brought down the site hard enough that I got my butt in gear to tune Anubis and turn it back on.
Based on the numbers here, there is a thirteen-fold decrease in activity (or a ~92% drop in traffic), all identified by Anubis as bots and blocked.
Selective adjustments were made to the nginx config and anubis bot policy to allow certain bits of traffic through (for unimpeded federation, etc.), but otherwise the site is now quite stable, on a small potato server. 🥔
Default bot policy does let search engine crawlers though (I think), so that is win-win.

More than 230,000 women and girls in Gaza, including nearly 15,000 pregnant women, are facing limited access to reproductive health services because of Israeli military operations, despite a ceasefire deal, the UN said Thursday, Anadolu reports.
Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric cited the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), which warned that “there is an increased risk of gender-based violence, child marriage, and exploitation of women and girls.”
He added that damage to health facilities, safe spaces and clinics, combined with displacement and flooding, has “sharply limited access to psychosocial support and medical care.”
UN humanitarian partners have reached more than 13,000 households since Sunday, he said, adding that they distributed “hundreds of tents” along with mattresses, blankets, warm clothes, cooking utensils and solar lights.
Capacity and funding constraints mean support currently reaches only about 40% of Gaza’s 970 displacement sites, he said.
Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza that began after an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, and lasted two years, has killed more than 71,000 Palestinians and wounded over 171,000, most of them women and children, and destroyed about 90% of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure.
Since a ceasefire took effect Oct. 10, Israeli attacks have killed 483 Palestinians and wounded 1,287, while Israel has sharply restricted the entry of food, shelter materials and medical supplies into Gaza, where 2.4 million Palestinians live in dire conditions.
Kurdish authorities have warned of a major ISIS resurgence since the start of Damascus’s assault against the SDF in the north
The US is considering a “complete withdrawal” from Syria, officials told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on 22 January, coinciding with Damascus’s assault against Kurdish forces in the country’s north.
“The head-spinning events of the last week have led the Pentagon to question the viability of the American military’s mission in Syria after the SDF’s defeat,” the US officials went on to say.
“If the SDF fully disbands, the US officials see no reason for the American military to stay in Syria. One factor is the difficulties posed by working with [Syrian President] Sharaa’s army. The force is riddled with jihadist sympathizers, including soldiers with ties to Al-Qaeda and ISIS and others who have been involved in alleged war crimes against the Kurds and Druze,” the sources added.
Around 1,000 US forces are scattered in bases across northern Syria. Last year, the US army began reducing its presence in the country, withdrawing from five out of eight major bases.
By that point, though, Lenin had lost a great majority of his childhood privledges. His father died at 15, and he was expelled from university for his radicalism and participation in demonstrations. By the time Lenin would have had this picture taken, there's no confusion about his material wealth.
I'm not sure bourgeois was the right label either, though his family was certainly well-off.
Yet another way in which capitalism creates the conditions of it's own overthrow: it creates a class of people with the time and resources to study and organize against it, and some of them do.
