While much worse tragedies are taking place in the world, a new company has bought the music platform Bandcamp and fired half of the employees. If this goes anything like the acquisition of Twitter, Bandcamp may cease to serve as a resource for do-it-yourself musicians and labels.

De Galilea a Gaza
Una voz de Palestina
Ahora mismo, el ejército israelí está bombardeando a la gente atrapada en Gaza. Ya han matado a casi 3000 personas y desplazado a más de un millón. Este es sólo el último capítulo de más de un siglo de violencia colonial contra los palestinos.

Four years ago today, a revolt broke out in Chile, wresting control of the streets from the police.
For a month, Santiago and many other parts of Chile were self-organized via a decentralized network of neighborhood assemblies employing a wide array of decision-making structures, each one shaped directly by the participants.

Although the revolt was ultimately trapped in the blind alley of constitutional reform, that illustrates the importance of developing a transformative approach to social change rather than falling back on electoral strategies.

Hundreds of Jewish protesters and their supporters have occupied the Congress of the United States, chanting "Ceasefire now!" in reference to the ongoing slaughter of people in Gaza.

At this point, it's widely understood that Benjamin Netanyahu helped to support the rise of Hamas. “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas,” Netanyahu said in 2019.
But there is less discussion about how US foreign policy set the stage for the events of October 7, 2023.
In an article published in 2006, we suggested that one way to understand the Bush administration's otherwise incomprehensible decisions in Iraq was to assume that they were not trying to suppress jihadism, but to foster it.
https://crimethinc.com/2006/09/11/mission-accomplished-why-bush-is-counting-on-the-islamic-resistance
At the time, the text was received as imaginative speculation—but 17 years later, it looks prescient. It foretold the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq, predicted the extension of the label “terrorist” to ordinary activists in the United States, and foresaw how the situation in Palestine foreshadowed other ethnic conflicts and forms of mass repression.

On the Republican Party, though it could just as easily be said of Netanyahu:
"By a process of natural selection, they have come to pursue policies that tend to get their supporters shot down, blown up, and kidnapped, because these unfortunate effects drive more supporters into their arms."

On the platform previously known as Twitter, Elon Musk has apparently given orders to automatically remove those who follow the account of Palestine Action US (@Pal_ActionUS). Many people have reported that after following that account, their accounts automatically unfollow it. We can confirm this ourselves.
Whatever your politics in regard to Palestine, this is an important precedent. It confirms that Elon Musk bought Twitter in order to make it impossible for people to communicate except in ways that align with his personal agenda as a billionaire and racist.
Relying on X/Twitter to communicate means enabling Elon Musk to personally determine whom we can hear and whom is silenced.

For decades, we've all known that the important thing to pay attention to in corporate media coverage is not the news itself, but rather, what their narrative framing can tell us about what they want us to believe.
Today, we can say the same thing about how social media presents us to each other.

A court in Rome has denied the request to release the anarchist political prisoner Alfredo Cospito from solitary confinement under the cruel “41bis” regime. Starting a year ago, Alfredo undertook a life-threatening four-month hunger strike demanding to be transferred. This coincided with solidarity actions throughout Italy and around the world.
Even Alfredo's worst enemies, officials from the anti-terrorism departments, recommended his transfer. But the court is determined to impose as much suffering as possible.
Background:
https://crimethinc.com/alfredocospito
"Alfredo’s situation represents a threat to all of us. When environmental protesters are charged with terrorism simply for occupying trees, it is common sense to anticipate that what is done to Alfredo today will be done to a wider range of arrestees tomorrow."
You can write to Alfredo here:
