"In the nearly two years since Israel’s assault on Gaza began, at least initially in response to the Hamas attack on 7 October, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed. Entire cities lie in ruins, starvation is widespread, and a growing chorus of international legal experts warn of a looming genocide. Despite this, the European Union continues its preferential trade and research partnership with Israel under the EU–Israel Association Agreement — an agreement that is conditional on respect for human rights. Calls to suspend it are growing across Europe, yet EU institutions have so far declined to act.
Marc Botenga, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB/PVDA) and Vice-Chair of the Left group in the European Parliament, has been a leading critic of the EU’s response to Israel’s actions in Gaza and the occupation of Palestinian territory. In April 2025, he proposed a resolution on the immediate suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement with a group of fifteen MEPs. Recently, he spoke with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation’s Alexandra Gerasimcikova about his views and the next political steps the Left in Europe can take."

Das Video zeigt eine nächtliche Szene auf einer beleuchteten Straße in Berlin, Deutschland, am 29.8.2025. Es beginnt mit einem verschwommenen Bild, das die Straße und die Straßenlaternen zeigt, die das Licht auf die Fahrbahn werfen. Der Text "Critical Mass Berlin 29.8.2025" ist in der Mitte des Bildes zu sehen, was darauf hinweist, dass es sich um eine Veranstaltung handelt, bei der viele Fahrradfahrer zusammenkommen, um ihre Stimme zu erheben und die Bedeutung des Fahrradfahrens zu betonen.
Langsam werden die Fahrradfahrer sichtbar, die sich auf der Straße bewegen. Sie sind in verschiedenen Outfits und mit Helmen ausgestattet, einige tragen leuchtende Kleidung, was ihre Sichtbarkeit erhöht. Die Straße ist gut beleuchtet, und die Laternen werfen ein warmes Licht auf die Szene. Im Hintergrund sind einige Fahrzeuge zu sehen, die in der Ferne fahren.
Die Fahrradfahrer bewegen sich in einer langen Reihe entlang der Straße, und die Szene zeigt eine lebendige und dynamische Atmosphäre. Die Straße ist breit und gut gepflegt, und die Laternen werfen ein warmes Licht auf die Fahrradfahrer und die Straße. Die Veranstaltung scheint gut organisiert zu sein, und die Teilnehmer genießen die Fahrt.

FEMA Chief Information Officer (CIO) Charles Armstrong, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Gregory Edwards, and 22 other FEMA IT employees directly responsible were immediately terminated.
While conducting a routine cybersecurity review, the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) discovered significant security vulnerabilities that gave a threat actor access to FEMA’s network. The investigation uncovered several severe lapses in security that allowed the threat actor to breach FEMA’s network and threaten the entire Department and the nation as a whole.
The entrenched bureaucrats who led FEMA’s IT team for decades resisted any efforts to fix the problem. Instead, they avoided scheduled inspections and lied to officials about the scope and scale of the cyber vulnerabilities.
Failures included: an agency-wide lack of multi-factor authentication, use of prohibited legacy protocols, failing to fix known and critical vulnerabilities, and inadequate operational visibility.
FEMA spent nearly half a billion dollars on IT and cybersecurity measures in Fiscal Year 2025 alone and delivered virtually nothing for the American people. Despite burning hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, FEMA’s IT leadership still neglected its basic duties and exposed the entire Department to cyberattacks.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem fires 24 FEMA IT staffers, including the CIO and CISO; DHS says they failed security protocols and let hackers access Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) networks

Talk to people everywhere. Pass out flyers. Print out business cards. Make a website. Start a newspaper. Rent a billboard. Make songs and movies about freedom.
You might be the last one defending freedom, but you must live with your conscience.
Nearly 1,000 "Workers Over Billionaires" protests will be held across the US for Labor Day to protest the Trump administration's attacks on workers' rights and safety net programs relied on by millions.
"This is about workers showing up and demanding what workers deserve all across the country," said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
I’d love to see their evaluation of how much this will save, plus their evaluation of what the costs would be to switch to another system if it all goes pear shaped. Plus of course data privacy etc etc.
Even if they come up with some fictional savings, those are savings in *staff* costs. So they have - like good little capitalists - already ruled out improving services by spending the £500k on more *staff*. (Which would likely be a bigger service improvement.)
How did we get to a place where people managing essentially human activities are able to spend money on technology to reduce spend on humans?
They have swallowed the neoliberal mantra 'hiring people is inefficient'.
@onepict Presumably by the time something goes wrong with local government decisions, the people responsible have moved on? (In some cases with brown envelopes to fall back on...)
Is there any precedent for holding government decision makers legally responsible after they've changed jobs?

There’s a particular kind of person who cheers when the president deploys military forces against American cities over the objections of their elected leaders. They call themselves patriots. They wrap themselves in the flag while applauding the systematic demolition of everything that flag once represented. They claim to love America while celebrating the transformation of American governance into something the founders would have recognized as tyranny.

"[G]iven the post-neoliberal thrust of much Biden economic policy, why did Trump and the GOP end up walloping Democrats in last year’s election, especially among working-class voters? Khan’s answer, in short, is that the Bidenites didn’t have enough time.
“There’s no secret that people were very concerned about cost of living,” Khan says, by way of explaining Kamala Harris’s failure. “Initially, there was a surge in pricing during the pandemic, because there were legitimate supply-chain issues. As those supply-chain issues got resolved, prices didn’t come down as quickly. We have seen companies be quite open about how, be it the supply chain issues, be it tariffs, these can be very useful covers for inflating prices.”
Neoliberalism, she says, was too entrenched for post-neoliberalism to overcome in short order: “Big picture, the [Biden] administration in a whole bunch of economic domains really did break with the 40-year Reagan-Bush-Clinton neoliberal playbook…. But at the end of the day, you’re going to need more than four years to fully undo the destruction of that 40-year regime.”"
