The Autistici/Inventati collective is shutting down and will soon discontinue all of their services:
'In a world where allegations are disconnected from reality, we can only expect repression to be increasingly disproportionate. Under these circumstances, we are no longer able to maintain our original mission - offering secure and non-commercial digital tools.'

A quotation from Abraham Fortas
Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.

Ghost writing for activism
I think that the bravest thing I have done when no one is watching, I assume no one is watching, is ghost writing for activism. In some instances, I am paid to proffer fact-based and in-depth analysis on sensitive subjects. Subjects, in some cases, many fear to share opinions about in fear of attracting the wrath of powerful state actors. Contextualize within our part of the world, which is notoriously known for its writers, citizens, in exile. Our homeland has earned significant […] -

Lest we forget: This so-called Labour regime is the most authoritarian UK government in modern history. They’re not just coming for speech. They’re coming for thought as well!!!
“The UK Government Has Become a Security Threat to Its Own People”
by Nouri in Manufactuting Dissent on Substack
“This [UK Labour] government has stopped pretending it serves the British public. It serves foreign interests first, and it expects everyone else to swallow it quietly. The IRGC designation wasn’t about safety. It was about signalling obedience. It was about showing the Israel‑aligned security lobby that Labour will bend whenever told to”

Call for an Advertising Boycott: Debate on the Limits of Political Influence
In May 2026, an Instagram video by SPD politician Saskia Esken caused a stir.
The reason: a podcast interview lasting several hours conducted by Ben Berndt (“Ungeskriptet”) with AfD politician Björn Höcke. Esken called on companies to reconsider their advertising placements on such platforms.Critics, including FDP politician Wolfgang Kubicki, viewed this as an infringement on freedom of the press.
Esken rejected the accusation of censorship: As a member of parliament, she had no authority to censor, but had merely provided information.The case highlights a recurring tension: legitimate political criticism versus economic pressure on the media. In addition, the Streisand effect kicked in—the interview gained additional reach as a result of the criticism.

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

Das Motto des Internationalen Tages der Pressefreiheit am 3. Mai lautet heuer: „Eine Zukunft in Frieden gestalten: Pressefreiheit für Menschenrechte, Entwicklung und Sicherheit fördern.“
Während bei der World Press Freedom Day Global Conference am 04. und 05. Mai in Lusaka, Sambia, über diese Themen gesprochen wird, spinne, stricke und häkle ich im Atelier Mitzi für die Pressefreiheit: Mit meiner Handspindel stelle ich aus alten Zeitungen Papiergarn her. Daraus entstehen gehäkelte Körbe und gestrickte Stücke.
Ein herzliches Danke meiner wundervollen Tochter @hasi für die tollen Fotos!

A quotation from Henry Commager
A nation which, in the name of loyalty or of patriotism or of a sincere and high-sounding idea, discourages criticism and dissent, and puts a premium on acquiescence and conformity, is headed for disaster.

"Neudělal ani přestupek. Nebyl a není nebezpečný sobě ani okolí. Přesto se z obyčejného studenta posledního ročníku vysoké školy stal „pacient“ zavřený na oddělení, svazovaný popruhy, pod tlakem léků proti své vůli – a nakonec člověk, který z obavy o vlastní život utekl a je dnes v pátrání Policie ČR." -- "se Martin stal terčem brutálního pokusu o vraždu ze strany tehdejšího přítele své matky" -- "Na tento postup si stěžoval. Tím se rozjela spirála, v níž se z člověka bez záznamu stal během pár měsíců 'nebezpečný pacient'." -- "v ústavu opakovaně zažil svazování a nátlakové podávání léků, když se mluvilo o elektrošocích, zvolil jedinou cestu, které rozuměl: útěk. Z obavy o vlastní život." -- "nepadly konkrétní skutky, ale padla nejtvrdší opatření. Příběh mladého muže, který nebyl a není nebezpečný, ale přesto skončil za dveřmi, která zamykají život." -- "spravedlnost má nejprve dokazovat, teprve pak brát." -- "Spolek Šalamoun bude případ Martina Pavlaty dál sledovat a popisovat."

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
Government by the people means that the people have the right to do their own thinking and to do their own speaking about their public servants. They must speak truthfully and they must not be disloyal to the country, and it is their highest duty by truthful criticism to make and keep the public servants loyal to the country.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

I put up a small mini-lecture about how the right intuitively gets Freedom Of Speech mixed up with ”speech without consequences”, for the younglings.
Charlie Kirk’s murder presented a perfect opportunity to bring up Wilhoit’s Law and other fundamental topics that conservatism doesn’t recognise about itself!

The video of Gauri Lankesh’s speech that her assassins used to whip up hate
Investigators say that the trigger for the killers to identify Gauri as a target was not only her body of journalistic work, but also this video clip from a speech discussing Hinduism.
