👀 On our radar: Beware pre-shredded lettuce

💬 “Perhaps ironically, the bags of shredded lettuce that promise to be pre-washed and ready to eat are riskier than whole heads of romaine.”

mosab abu toha: “meta è contrariata dalla mia vittoria del pulitzer”

“Meta è contrariata dalla mia vittoria del Pulitzer” https://www.instagram.com/p/DJWXKgRNLJx/ (InsideOver)

Con queste parole, Mosab Abu Toha, poeta e scrittore palestinese originario del campo profughi di Al-Shati a Gaza, ha commentato la decisione di Meta di sospendere il suo account Facebook pochi giorni dopo aver ricevuto il prestigioso Premio Pulitzer 2025.

La sospensione è avvenuta senza preavviso e senza una spiegazione ufficiale da parte della piattaforma.

Abu Toha è noto per la sua intensa attività letteraria che dà voce alle sofferenze del popolo palestinese. Il suo primo libro di poesie, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear, ha ricevuto riconoscimenti internazionali, tra cui l’American Book Award e il Palestine Book Award. Nel 2017, ha fondato la Edward Said Library, la prima biblioteca pubblica di lingua inglese a Gaza.

Durante il genocidio a Gaza, Abu Toha ha contribuito con articoli e poesie a importanti pubblicazioni internazionali come ‘The New Yorker’, ‘The Atlantic’ e ‘The New York Times Magazine’, offrendo testimonianze dirette delle atrocità vissute dalla popolazione civile. Nel novembre 2023, mentre cercava di evacuare con la sua famiglia, è stato detenuto e torturato dalle forze israeliane.

(il vocabolario è importante: come da tempo tutti annotano e sottolineano, per israele quelli catturati il 7 ottobre sarebbero “ostaggi”; mentre le migliaia di Palestinesi vessati e torturati, stuprati e a volte uccisi nelle carceri-lager come Sde Teiman, sarebbero “prigionieri”, quindi marchiati anche linguisticamente come criminali, tutti, bambini inclusi)

Sharon Waxman about Laurene Powell "At a time when billionaire owners of cherished publications that hold government accountable are caving — The Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos and Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong most prominently — Powell is standing behind her editor. " "But at moments like this, she deserves our praise and our gratitude. Our democracy needs superheroes like her to make it through." - https://www.thewrap.com/laurene-powell-jobs-atlantic-praise-signalgate/ #TheAtlantic #Goldberg

Good explainer from #TheAtlantic about the coming end to all financial regulation in the US via #crypto.

> "If #Congress passes #FIT21 it would invent a novel asset class called 'digital commodities' - in essence, any financial asset managed on a blockchain. Digital commodities would be exempted from #SEC oversight. In the FIT21 bill any firm or person can self-certify a financial product as a digital commodity. The SEC would have only 60 days to object. This is a loophole big enough to fit an investment bank through"

> "Wall St is talking up "tokenization" meaning putting assets on a digital ledger. The putative justification is capital efficiency. [The real] justification is regulatory arbitrage: Investments on a blockchain would move out of the SEC’s purview & be subject to fewer disclosure, reporting, consumer protection, [#moneylaundering etc. rules]"

“we shall see a profound degradation in the ability of this nation to govern itself rationally & fairly, with freedom & political equality under the rule of law. Because that’s not actually a prediction. It’s a logical deduction based on the words & deeds of the president-elect, his enablers & his supporters
& a long & often sorry record of human history. Let us brace ourselves.”

- George Conway, American attorney

48) Tom Nichols at #TheAtlantic does an excellent job in detailing what is at stake in #Election2024, quite simply #democracy will be on the ballot.

#TheHeritageFoundation has provided a blueprint for another #Trump presidency which is a model for strongman despotism. Should that plan be implemented, there will be no easy recovery in reestablishing the rule of law.
