  1. This @theintercept piece documents how Israel's asylum system coerces queer Palestinians into intelligence collaboration under threat of deportation. The article's subject, a gay man who fled a death bounty from his own family, was trapped between occupation and "protection" that came with strings attached.

    Indeed Israel brands itself as an LGBTQ+ haven, Startup Nation, the army with "purity of arms" and "the most moral in the world." Is it though? All marketing, not reality.

    LGBTQ "safe haven”: Antigay violence at record highs in Israel. The Aguda's 2025 report documented 432 physical attacks, lynch ambushes via Grindr, and a 127% spike in violent incidents. The government cut LGBTQ funding by 75%. No civil marriage exists. The minister in charge refuses to work with "gay organizations."

    "Startup Nation": High tech employs ~8% of workers while 20% of Israelis live below the poverty line. New startup formation fell 45% in a decade. 8,300 tech workers left in 10 months.

    "Purity of arms" / "Most moral army": IDF's own ethics code co-author Asa Kasher called the slogan "flimsy" and "dangerous." Former defense minister Moshe Ya'alon said the IDF is "not the most moral army." 88% of war crime investigations closed with no action.

    Each brand presents a sanitized, exceptionalist image that collapses under scrutiny. The claims are weaponized as shields, and the gap between marketing and reality is widest for those with the least power. Remember Wix: "Unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans."

  3. > Capgemini, entreprise de services du numérique française, a décroché des contrats pour l'ICE, la très controversée police anti-immigration américaine. Elle l'aide notamment à identifier et localiser des étrangers, avec un important chèque à la clé.

  11. Excellentes réflections sur le problème de valoriser le travail bénévole. Je me demande si les compas de @Framasoft ont pensée le problème du point de vue DisCO, où l'on valorise aussi les travaux de soigne et d'amour au nivel de la organization cooperative ou associative sans s'engager avec les institutions d'état.

  13. #Business: former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz started a company with the man behind the infamous Pegasus spyware, Shalev Hulio.

    The Israeli entrepreneur Shalev Hulio gained notoriety for designing Pegasus, a spyware that has been used by governments to hack journalists and dissidents. Today, he is selling an AI cyber security tool to European states and corporations.

    "Follow the Money" found that at least a dozen employees at Dream Security had worked for Hulio’s former spyware company NSO and other Israeli spyware firms.

  15. @jeeynet Quelle honte. L'école ne devrait pas être là pour rendre un enfant « salariable » mais lui donner les clés pour sa vie future, pour qu'il ou elle soit un être humain qui vive correctement en société.

    Et la dame se dit encore de gauche ?

  17. "En 2024, 70 % des Français ont acheté leur dernier smartphone car celui d'avant ne fonctionnait plus correctement, n'était plus utilisable, était perdu/volé ou son système d'exploitation n'était plus à jour, une hausse de 8 points par rapport à 2020."

    Dont moi. 😭

  18. "The goal of [#StartupNation] cities would be to have places where anti-aging #ClinicalTrials, #NuclearReactor startups, and building construction can proceed without having to get prior #approval from agencies like the Food and Drug Administration #FDA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency #EPA."

    Billionaire dictatorvilles with no civil rights, because venture capitalists are always ethical.

  19. #ProgressIreland, backed by (notional) billionaire Collison brothers (Stripe Inc), sounds disturbingly like the #deregulatory #neoliberal #billionaire #lobby group #StartupNation / #Próspera.

    progressireland.org/ - a veneer of "housing, infrastructure and innovation"

    independent.ie/irish-news/coll - a couple of billionaires tell us nobody wants "the red tape & ecological paperwork that prevent housing, energy infrastructure, transit & other important works" (or maintain standards & protect us).

  20. ‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting #Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’

    The architects of projects like #Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.
