#datocurioso #reflexion

Hace tiempo alguien me preguntó que cómo funcionaba eso de #mastodon y el #fediverso, mi respuesta fue muy simple: igual que lo hacen las comunidades paganas y los viejos gremios de magos y brujas pero en un ambiente digital.

Tal vez para algunos tenga que explicar mejor estas palabras: desde hace mucho, muchos siglos, dentro de las comunidades paganas, con sus covens y clanes, cada uno se gestiona a sí mismo, con sus reglas, sus normas y sus lineamientos, sin embargo existe buena comunicación, apoyo y fraternidad entre unos y otros, formando todo tipo de lazos, vínculos y conocimientos compartidos, de tal suerte que tenemos por ejemplo al clan de la luna llena conviviendo en armonía con el coven de arcoiris, el rainforest clan, el midnight clan, el coven de la Luna Azul y el clan del Blackforest entre muchos más, cada quien es libre de unirse al gremio que quiere y comunicarse con quien desee.

Cada comunidad sigue una Senda distinta con sus propios valores y principios pero existe buena comunicación, aceptación, tolerancia, respeto y alianza entre todos ellos, lo mismo pasa con mastodon y el Fediverso, claro que aquí en vez de clanes y covens tenemos servidores e instancias, cada uno con una serie de reglas particulares donde cada quien es libre de unirse a la comunidad que quiere, sin embargo aún cuando pertenezcas a cierto servidor o a cierta instancia tienes la completa libertad de poder comunicarte con otras comunidades de otros servidores, facilitando el intercambio de ideas y mensajes entre todos, como verán el funcionamiento es prácticamente el mismo, una idea que ha funcionado por siglos aún en estos tiempos modernos.

¿Que opinan?

Returning from our trip has been a harsh awakening. The contrast between my personal journey and the world's struggles has been a tough pill to swallow. It's left me feeling creatively blocked and uncertain about sharing our trip photos. They feel insignificant in the face of current events. Yet, I believe it's essential to hold onto hope. I'll continue to post, not in spite of current events, but because of them.

A better world is possible.

'Israel’s Manufactured “Looting Crisis”

Last November, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported the Israeli military was “allowing gangs in Gaza to loot aid trucks and extort protection fees from drivers.” Those looters were charging each truck a “protection fee” of $4,000 or taking over entire trucks and selling the aid in black markets.

Remarkably, the looting was happening at gunpoint while Israeli tanks and soldiers were positioned just dozens of meters away. Those troops usually shoot to kill upon the first sight of any Palestinian that comes within their scope, let alone stand in front of them with weapons.

Haaretz reported that Israel claims it refrained from action against those gangs “due to concern that harm to aid workers could provoke international criticism.” But in fact, Israel consistently bombed those same types of aid convoys on multiple occasions whenever local police or even unarmed volunteers carrying sticks approached to prevent looting. Cindy McCain, the World Food Program chief, has condemned Israel on multiple occasions for firing at or bombing aid convoys.

“It is clear there is collaboration between [the looting gangs] and Israeli authorities,” said Ayed Abu Ramadan, the chairman of Gaza’s Chamber of Commerce.

“Israel bombs anyone that gets close to the borders with weapons or even a stick, except for those gangs. They stop and loot trucks, then take cover in areas near the border and receive protection from the Israelis,” he told me.

Even more astonishing, according to an internal UN memo obtained by the Washington Post, these looting gangs established military compounds from where they launch attacks on trucks and reportedly set up warehouses with forklifts to unload looted truckloads and horde giant quantities of looted aid to drive prices up before selling some at astronomical prices. Those very warehouses are in Rafah, which the Israeli military has fully depopulated and rendered an extermination and destruction zone, meaning any Palestinian who attempts to enter is killed or kidnapped. Israel never raided or bombed Abu Shabab’s compound, prompting the UN memo to accuse Israel of providing “active or passive protection” to this gang.

According to Haaretz, the Israeli military said last November that the government considered putting those very armed gangs and the clans behind them in charge of aid distribution. This is despite the Israeli military admitting that “some of the clans' members are involved in terrorism, and some are even affiliated with extremist organizations like the Islamic State.” We are now seeing this strategy play out in real-time.

Apple appeals €500m EU fine

Heavily armed immigration agents descend on #MacArthurPark in #LosAngeles

By Melissa Gomez, Rachel Uranga, Brittny Mejia, Richard Winton and Ruben Vives
July 7, 2025 12:16 PM PT

"Dozens of immigration agents, some on horseback, others carrying rifles in armored vehicles, swept through MacArthur Park on Monday in an extraordinary show of force at the heart of Los Angeles’ #immigrant community.

"Heavily armored #BorderPatrol officers with a fleet of white minibuses partially blocked the streets surrounding the park, which has become a source of crime and drugs in the area in the last few years. #Activists with megaphones were able to warn locals at the park before the contingent arrived, according to police sources.

"The move comes days after President Trump signed a budget that will provide a mass infusion of funds to the Department of Homeland Security to ramp up its immigration enforcement to levels unseen before in the United States. Los Angeles has become the poster child of Trump’s mass deportation plan, as more than 1,600 people have been arrested between June 6 and 22.

"The agents appeared to arrive around 10:30 a.m. after amassing at nearby locations. Once they were at the park, they were met with crowds of people screaming 'get the f— out!' and 'get out!' #MayorKarenBass also showed up to the park, which sits just west of downtown Los Angeles. Activists, who have been on high alert for weeks, appeared to be prepared to deploy lawyers to the scene.

"At some point, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent David Kim handed his cellphone to Bass. Speaking to the other person over the line she could be heard saying, 'You’re getting ready to leave? Can you leave ASAP?'

"Demonstrators began to chant, drowning out her conversation. When asked to comment, Bass said the federal immigration agents needed 'to leave and they need to leave right now, they need to leave because this is unacceptable.'

"When asked who she was talking to on the other end of the line she said it was 'the head of customs.'

"Bass handed the phone back to a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Shortly afterward, she boarded a black SUV and left the area.

"It’s unclear if anyone was arrested during the sweep.

" 'This was just one big, perverse publicity stunt,' said #RonGochez, a member of #UniónDelBarrio, an independent political organization advocating for immigrant rights and social justice. 'It was just to show force, it was just to take pictures.'

"The chaos on #WilshireBoulevard around MacArthur Park had mostly calmed by 11:30 a.m., though a few protesters and members of the news media lingered afterward.

"Mikema Nahmir, 28, said he was out for his morning walk at 11 a.m. when he saw two women running down the street yelling that '#LaMigra' was at MacArthur Park.

"Nahmir joined the group of #protesters who chased and yelled after the #military-style trucks. At one point, he said, someone from the truck shot out an #irritant toward him and another protester.

" 'L.A. is ours, this is our city,' Nahmir said. 'This is what my morning walk turned into. They’re terrorizing our neighborhood.'

"Live video from the scene Monday morning broadcast on social media showed a line of white vans that have been used to transport arrestees as well as several agents on horseback. Agents cleared the scene by 11:20 a.m. and it was not immediately clear how many people they had taken into custody.

"U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino, who has been leading the operations on the ground in Los Angeles, was present during the operation.

"Bovino, who is based near the U.S.-Mexico border along with others in the Trump administration, was sued last week by immigrant rights groups seeking to block what it calls an 'ongoing pattern and practice of flouting the #Constitution and federal law' during immigration raids. They say raids have targeted individuals based on race, lack #DueProcess and some practices are akin to #kidnapping rather than legal enforcement. A hearing is set for later this week in federal court.

"Asked for comment on whether any arrests had been made, a senior DHS official, said, 'We don’t comment on ongoing enforcement operations.' "

Contents of the letters that Attorney General Pam Bondi sent to major tech companies like including Apple, Google, and Oracle claim a shutdown of TikTok would hamper the government's ability to execute national security and foreign affairs. Legal scholars indicate this logic is legally very shaky and future administrations would likely not be bound by these pronouncements.

TikTok's tech partners face massive legal risks by relying on Bondi's promises not to enforce the ban law, as courts rarely protect defendants who count on executive non-enforcement.
