"F*ck AI!"

Activists stormed Microsoft's Amsterdam data centre site, broke through fences, climbed cranes, and sprayed graffiti. Riot police showed up with batons.

The site will reportedly use as much electricity as every home in Amsterdam.

The British Empire may be gone. Its military infrastructure certainly isn't.

A 2020 investigation found 145 UK military sites across 42 countries and territories. Colonial outposts still project military power, largely beyond democratic scrutiny. https://t.co/ewHvFZR6VJ

Scores of trucks carrying new tents and caravans (mobile homes) have been waiting at Gaza's border for more than a year, but Israel has blocked them from entering despite a US-brokered and monitored ceasefire.

Israel’s deliberate and systematic cruelty to deprive displaced Palestinians of shelter and compound their suffering is part of an effort to drive Palestinians out of Gaza, and is continuing with full U.S. support.

Defeating Flavio Bolsonaro was the easy part

Lula da Silva beat Flávio Bolsonaro to win a fourth term as Brazil’s president.

Political scientist André Singer says the hardest fight is still ahead: Brazil’s bourgeoisie wants harsh austerity, and Lula’s coalition is split over it. https://t.co/5UBrXvwhLd

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said his reelection was a “victory for the world” and that Brazilians taught the world a lesson by defeating conservative forces at the polls.

During a live broadcast watched by nearly 700,000 people, the president reflected on the political significance of his return to power after losing the first round. Lula maintained that his triumph coincided with setbacks for right-wing leaders.

He cited Benjamin Netanyahu’s electoral defeat in Israel and said that victory foreshadowed the difficulties Donald Trump and the Republican Party in the United States would face.

The Brazilian president said the election's main message was defending national sovereignty. He added that Brazilians showed they would not accept being “anyone’s backyard,” a phrase he repeatedly used during the campaign.

Furthermore, Lula criticized his political rival Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro. He recalled that during campaign rallies, he displayed and kissed the Brazilian flag, while Flavio kissed the United States flag.

More than 100 activists broke into a Microsoft data centre construction site in Amsterdam, climbing cranes and hanging anti-AI banners.

This marks the start of two days of coordinated protests across 16 countries against the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure.

More than 100 data centres are currently being planned or built across the UK. Imagine living next to one of these monstrosities. Just listen to it.
