Τουλάχιστον 146 νεκροί Παλαιστίνιοι σε ένα 24ωρο από τις ισραηλινές επιθέσεις

Democracies aren’t always as free as they seem. Instead of openly silencing people like dictatorships do, they often do it subtly—through courts, media, or civil society.
It’s not about banning ideas outright, but discrediting or isolating the people who express them. That’s the danger: when #censorship hides behind “justice” or “security,” it becomes harder to call it out—and easier for #democracy to quietly turn into something else.

An Autopsy of Opaque Persecution in a Democracy

The image features a person dressed in a stereotypical French style. They are wearing a red beret, a black scarf, and a white shirt with black horizontal stripes. The individual is holding a glass of red wine in their right hand and a baguette in their left hand, which is wrapped in a brown paper bag. The person is standing against a plain, light gray background. The overall impression is of a casual, yet iconic French look, often associated with Parisian culture.

Hey I'm all about HINT DROPPING;
Subtle Hint dropping.
So do me a favor, next time you're in an #Evangelical #Christian #Church, and there's a giant cardboard cut out, a Fathead of Donald Trump; stand next to it, wait for them to sing the "yes Lord" song; then start smiling and pointing rhythmically at it while singing the following alternate lyrics very loudy for the entire song:
"Death Lord,
Death Lord,
Death death Lord,
Death Lord,
Death Lord,
Death Death Lord, Amen"
You can think of it either as a prayer or a message to the congregation about #Gaza.

NEW by me: Australian national known as “DR32” sentenced in U.S. federal court
databreaches.net/2025/05/17/au…
His sentence seemed shockingly light to me, given his level of activity and some of the bold attacks he allegedly conducted that were not charged in the federal case.
I am not a conspiracy theorist type, but so much of the docket in this case was restricted or sealed. I'm wondering if some of the stories I had heard about DR32 were true, and the government doesn't want those other incidents becoming known for reasons of homeland security or international relations.

A giugno l’Europa lancia l’Open Web Index: un’infrastruttura pubblica per motori di ricerca indipendenti da Google e Bing. Una mossa legittima per difendere sovranità e pluralismo, ma anche il riflesso di tensioni geopolitiche. È l’inizio della scomposizione di internet da spazio globale a mosaico di reti nazionali e ideologiche?
