"EU to widen Iran sanctions to those who block Hormuz"
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/eu-widen-iran-sanctions-those-who-block-hormuz-2026-04-20/
Why do I have the feeling they don't mean Trump, out there loudly bragging about extorting the entire world by blocking the Hormuz Strait?
Antifascist classic "Bella ciao" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_ciao) with freedom guerrilla in the free areas of the Qandil Mountains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qandil_Mountains):
'Proposed antisemitism laws in France and Italy stir free speech debate
[...]
The French law, which is scheduled to be debated on Thursday, proposes to sanction "implicitly" justifying terrorism, calling for the destruction of a state recognised by France, and comparisons of Israel to the Nazis.
The Italian bill, if adopted, would make Italy the first country to write into law the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which lists certain criticisms of Israel as examples of antisemitism.' and which is in itself actually antisemitic as it without consent makes every Jew worldwide represented by the constitutionally racist State Israel and its systematic war crimes, genocidal warfare, which is just not how ethnicities work. A person can not be born guilty of the Netanyahu-government's atrocities and they can not be claimed to represent anyone except those who personally actively declare them to do so.

The France proposal effectively also bans the political ideology anarchism, which recognizing that the very concept of brutality- and exclusion-based States is bad, currently and historically worst harm to all humanity, and must be abolished, thereby abolishing all implementations of the concept, whether France "recognizes" them or not.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) UK,
new report on how "Israeli authorities have used access to water as a weapon against Palestinians, systematically depriving people in Gaza of water in a campaign of collective punishment"
The press release https://prezly.msf.org.uk/israel-uses-water-as-a-weapon-of-collective-punishment-against-palestinians-in-gaza contains a link to the 42-page PDF-document report.
Furthermore, it is still a war crime.
"Rule 53. The use of starvation of the civilian population as a method of warfare is prohibited."
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule53
Wherein for the definition of starvation it has been recognized that 'the ordinary meaning of the word “starvation” covered not only the more restrictive meaning of starving as killing by deprivation of water and food [...]' https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule54#title-5 (i.e. definitely includes water) and also even "Israel’s Manual on the Rules of Warfare (2006) states: [...] In cases where civilians do not have the opportunity to leave the besieged city, a duty arises to supply them with food, water and humanitarian aid." https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v2/rule53 for example.

But still, here's a faster cat:
It becomes the responsibility of every person with any sense of basic morality to do the jobs that they actively refuse to do when professional journalists and all major "news" prioritize higher than their jobs to instead abuse their profession to propagandize for continuation of genocidal war of aggression where the defender guerrilla follow the Geneva Conventions but the aggressor State instead is documented to have hundreds of times used chemical warfare, has extensive military occupation with hundreds of fortifications abroad from where they burn the civilian locals' crops and shoot those who try to extinguish the fire, where they incinerated live toddlers in basements while bombardment flattening entire city districts (yes, plural), headshot starving child under months of siege for daring to venture out to get bread, systematically uses torture, illegally abduct from and murder people on multiple continents because those people were for peaceful coexistence and grassroots democracy, and so on, and so on.
Then it's YOUR responsibility to do the jobs of those maliciously negligent "journalists" and major "news" agencies, by doing your part ensuring people worldwide get the information @b9AcE@todon.eu those journalists are systematically actively burying, to bury an entire people.

How will the Russian left play a decisive role in changes in Russia?
In Father Frost against Putin 2026-festival, Political and trade-union activist Mikhail Lobanov talked about what is happening to the active part of Russian society — and how Russian socialists and anarchists should make use of the growing demand for left-wing ideas in order to prepare for the future struggle to democratize Russia and the world.
Mikhail also spoke about the Radical Democracy project, through which many left-wing initiatives are trying to build the infrastructure and foundation needed for the emergence of a strong coalition political force in the future.

Note that the talk is translated to English simultaneously to the talk, so listen to the translator instead of trying to hear the original speaker if you need English. ;-)
Link to original audio variant, by different recorder, is in the video-description.
The Putin-regime being far-right authoritarian of course makes this from the direct opposite opponents important to everyone opposing imperialist aggression, reactionaryism, capitalism and/or tyranny worldwide.
So after >8 passed after I in detail explained how important it is YOU help humanity by spreading suppressed information to end ultimate atrocity: 0.
That's how many decided that was worth 1 or or 2 clicks or taps. Zero. Literally 0. Not even 1.
Fuck this place. Infinite source of disappointment in humankind. Shame on you all, who scrolled by. You are the reason things are as shit as they are, why genocides and systematic war crimes persist and expand, why mass-murderous authoritarianism is expanding. Next time you wonder: look in the mirror.
I may return, some time.
Oh, that's potentially quite bad:

Vimeo used to be popular among people with ethics before Vimeo switched away from being the option better than YouTube to instead focus on hosting videos for corporate propaganda, but a lot of people will probably have potentially sensitive information remaining in their accounts there still.

If this https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/27/openai-could-be-making-a-phone-with-ai-agents-replacing-apps/ turns out to be true and what they actually do, then that will extremely likely be an unfathomable advance over this @b9AcE@todon.eu in worst actual product in existence.
Astounding. Just... I... like... NO!
I would probably rather stop remote communications with anyone altogether than use that, if that's the future choice.
Sweden and the EU Commission are holding technical talks with the crimes against humanity Taliban-regime about persuading the Taliban to accept people to be deported to them, where they will be entirely surrounded by Taliban propaganda for murderous sexism, minorities persecution, religious intolerance, and world-terrorism.
The Minister for (actually against) Migration of Sweden, Johan Forssell (whose son was recently outed as a Nazi brute campaigner and fascism-group recruiter) tells the TT news agency that the far-right ruled government of Sweden has been "very forcefully pushing the matter" of getting to deport people to under Taliban rule, which will almost entirely certainly result in severe mass-lethal threat to the entire populace of Sweden long-term, instead of care and prosperity.
A right-wing opposition party's migration- and integration-policy spokesperson commented that "It is completely unacceptable that foreign aid money is being used to finance a terror-regime. Such funds must go to people in need, not to people in power who oppress their people".
Greens party migration-policy spokesperson said "It is a betrayal against Afghan-Swedes and all the girls and women who are deprived of their freedom and future by the Talibans' oppression, and a reckless use of Swedish tax funds".

International Rescue Committee (IRC), aiding people in the worst situations worldwide:
"Six months on from the ‘ceasefire’, IRC warns that Gaza’s deepening humanitarian catastrophe cannot be forgotten as world’s attention shifts away
[...]
More than 2 million people remain displaced within Gaza, with the majority sheltering in makeshift tents whilst facing flooding and storms in winter and high temperatures in the summer. Families are being forced to survive without access to the most basic and life-saving supplies, stripped of essential goods needed to live safely with dignity. People remain trapped in a cycle of violence as continued airstrikes and military operations put civilians in danger, as basic infrastructure such as health, water services and aid operations continue to be severely constrained."

@kde@floss.social @fedora@fosstodon.org @gloriouseggroll@fosstodon.org Hello! It would be really, really great if you would roll back from PLM to SDDM until PLM at least allows for fulfilling the absolute minimum for any greeter in any decent security policy, of at LEAST having the option of disabling the display of users on the system on the login-screen as all such policies of major and/or security conscious organizations will require. All the telcos, banks, govt agencies, etc I have UNIX-consulted at had prevention of leakage as an actual mandatory requirement.
It is very weird how you sacrifice SDDM which was working fine, for an implementation which will make your software actually non-compliant=banned by orgs following since decades established best practices, for the only apparent major change of making it dependent on the worst mistake in and threat against Open Source software, systemd.
Please at least revert until it is an upgrade instead of a major, potential showstopper, downgrade, instead of just leaving the bug marked as "CONFIRMED" since January.
Thank you!

Jîna is of course also the name of Jîna ("Mahsa") Amini, the Kurdish woman whose murder by the immoral "morality" police in Tehran sparked the Iran-wide antiauthoritarian feminist "Women! Life! Freedom"-uprisings.

"EU foreign ministers reject proposal to suspend association agreement with Israel"
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/21/eu-foreign-ministers-reject-proposal-suspend-association-agreement-israel
How many wars of aggression, how much genocidal warfare, how many systematic war crimes and other crimes against humanity must there be before the State Israel is at least treated according to their own supposed rules as a State having violated the foundations of humanity?
I understand it is embarrassing especially for authoritarian politicians to have to admit that they were wrong in the past, but remaining devastatingly wrong for longer will not leave a better legacy once they inevitably become actually unable to change it.
