BREAKING: Trump administration is reinstating sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs, the world's leading investigator of Israeli apartheid & genocide in Palestine.
A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court just issued an administrative stay, allowing the Justice Department to restart punishing Albanese while the courts deliberate.
Judge Richard Leon had correctly blocked the sanctions, recognizing that Albanese's First Amendment rights are protected because she owns property in the U.S. and her daughter is an American citizen.
But the Justice Department is arguing that foreign nationals abroad have no constitutional rights—a dangerous precedent that would gut free speech protections globally.
The Court of Appeals has scheduled key filings for May 28 and June 2.
This isn't just about Francesca. It's about whether America will uphold free speech or become complicit in Israel's crimes through censorship and intimidation.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Sam Altman: “A kid born today will never be smarter than AI.”
They are framing humanity as inferior to AI so they can rewire our society and usher in their AI mass surveillance dystopia.
AI is not superior to humanity. It is fake. We are real. We must always put humanity first.
Unfortunately, as much as the accusations are obviously bogus to anyone who isn't braindead, when an Israeli agent with 112k followers on Twitter, who's being platformed by leading media figures, accuses me of being an "IDF spy who murdered Palestinians" (!), I have to respond. So here's me at age 15, on May Day 2002, saying on Israeli national TV that I'm gonna refuse army service. My shirt reads "After me, to become refusers!".
Jenrick: "..those people who are doing a 40hrs/week & then choosing to do extra hours to look after their family.. those people can do those hours without paying any money to the tax man"
Why not address the fact that people working 40hrs/week can't look after their families?
Israel tied up children and babies, KILLED them, then buried them in mass graves.
A French aid worker: “We found a mass grave in Gaza containing 300 bodies. Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs
EuroMedHR: Inside the mass graves, they found children & babies with their hands bound with zip ties
This photo is from 2 mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza, in April During the genocide, the EuroMedHR documented over 130 mass graves of victims of the Israeli genocide
You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.
The word "allegedly" is a small word that performs an enormous function. It quarantines doubt. It applies uncertainty surgically, to specific claims, made by specific people, specifically the people whose deaths & suffering the powerful would prefer you to hold at arm's length
The most important word in imperial media is "allegedly."
Palestinian health officials allege the death toll is 70,000.
Witnesses allege that the strike hit a hospital.
Survivors allege that soldiers committed acts of torture.
Allegedly.
Now watch how "allegedly" disappears when the victims are on the other side.
Hamas attacked. Hamas massacred. Hamas killed.
No "allegedly."
No "according to Israeli sources."
No epistemic caution.
The word "allegedly" is a small word that performs an enormous function.
It quarantines doubt.
It applies uncertainty surgically, to specific claims, made by specific people, specifically the people whose deaths and suffering the powerful would prefer you to hold at arm's length.
It is a one-word editorial policy.
It is a one-word verdict on whose testimony counts.
Israelis across the board are now wondering what it is exactly that has "degraded Israel's international stature". I swear. Optimistic ones talk about the wheel eventually turning. The pessimists go on about antisemitism. In all of these analyses, Palestinians don't exist.
I’m 43 now. I’ve worked 50-70 hours a week my entire adult life. I’ve lost years of time with my children and loved ones just so we could afford to live. This life is not only cruel, but unnecessarily cruel. A better world is possible.
Kentucky boomers fell for this fake AI ad showing Thomas Massie in a throuple with AOC and Ilhan Omar.
American boomers are the most propagandized generation in human history.
"Si queremos convertirnos en líderes en Inteligencia Artificial, hay que trabajar 60 horas a la semana, 12 horas al dia, ese es el punto perfecto de productividad. Hay personas que no trabajan esas 60 horas, son improductivas y desmoralizadoras para los demás".
Sergey Brin, cofundador de Google, quiere restablecer la esclavitud humana para poder pasearse en su yate de 118 metros de eslora, valorado en más de 500 millones de dólares, mientras sus esclavos trabajan 12 horas al día para llenar sus bolsillos.
Si los capitalistas quieren traer de vuelta el feudalismo, nosotros debemos traer de vuelta las guillotinas.
One of the biggest crooks on earth, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, is calling for trillions in investment in data centers and AI power grids.
He says the money should come from “Americans' savings, pensions, and insurance funds”, all to compete with China, even though the US already has 12 times as many data centers as China.
The billionaires now want to steal from Americans’ to bring about their AI mass surveillance dystopia.
I listened to an interview with @weizman_eyal and that left me overwhelmed & speechless - I can only imagine the impact his book would have.
His work leaves you without even a shadow of a doubt - Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
I finished @weizman_eyal's Ungrounding last night and it has left me overwhelmed & speechless. I'll have a lot more to say about it but suffice it to say for now that, while some extraordinary books have been written about Gaza, this one for me is the most important. Here's why:
The real welfare queen in America is Jeff Bezos, worth $279 billion, who pays wages so low his workers rely on food stamps and Medicaid while he sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.
Remember that moment when John McCain in Kyiv in 2013, was openly admitting on CNN that the US delegation was there to "orchestrate" a regime change in Ukraine?
He flaunted it, with Victoria Nuland at his side, actively manipulating the overthrow of the democratically elected President Yanukovych.
No subtlety.
No pretense.
Just raw, brazen intervention.
Meanwhile we are told this conflict is "unprovoked"
😂😂😂😂
Reform is proposing the deportation of 2 million people - including people legally here.
"Politically it feels quite clever doesn't it," says Trevor Phillips, and leads a discussion that revolves entirely around whether it is affordable and practical.
These are people who sweep our streets, look after disabled people, keep the care sector functioning. People who work incredibly hard and are invariably very badly paid. People who have families, lives, hopes, dreams. Without whom the economy simply wouldn't function.
This country has arrived at an appalling place.
In every case of police & workplace harassment it's the “IHRA definition of antisemitism” that's being used as a benchmark to adjudicate what is “legitimate speech”. The definition was designed as a data gathering tool & was never intended to become a law or be used in this way.
To allow genocide to continue: those who oppose genocide must be silenced, intimidated, threatened, repressed. https://t.co/NNC3hWwfGj
The IHRA definition of antisemitism labels those who oppose genocide as Racists. The states perpetrating the genocide then criminalise workers for speaking out against Israeli, British and US wars and genocide. THAT is its REAL role: WE MUST CHALLENGE IT!
In Britain and across the “western” NATO countries, thousands of doctors, lawyers, teachers, workers and citizens are under legal attack for defending Palestine.
I was suspended after criticising Israel’s actions in Gaza, and the US-Israeli and British war on Iran. Police arrested me at my home, leaving my children to look after each other. This is the third time I’ve been targeted by the police and I have faced multiple vexatious complaints and attacks at work - all coming from the state and the zionist lobby working hand in glove with our government. The management are complicit and collaborate in creating this politically repressive environment.

Theresa May adopted it for the UK together with Nicola Sturgeon in 2016 without any consultation. The major political parties followed suit (including Plaid Cymru, SNP, Liberal, Labour and the Greens). It was pushed on police forces, schools and colleges, and Wes Streeting has been pushing it actively into the heart of the NHS.
So now we have a situation in which existing laws (Public order act, professional regulatory frameworks, university regulations and constitutions) are being interpreted in its light, and the IHRA definition is therefore being “applied” as “law” - to silence legitimate speech on Palestine, and criticism of Israeli, US and British genocide.

It says everything that the moment the head of the National Endowment for Democracy openly starts bragging in Congress about ‘deploying’ 200 Starlinks into Iran, he immediately is cut off.
As if they suddenly realize the quiet part is being said out loud......
