“Ungrounding”: Eyal Weizman on Gaza Genocide & Israel’s “Permanent Architecture of Control” (Democracy Now!, 2026-10-30) https://www.democracynow.org/2026/10/30/forensic_architecture_eyal_weizman_gaza_genocice ——— >> We speak with Forensic Architecture’s #EyalWeizman about his new book, Ungrounding: The Architecture of Genocide, a meticulous investigation into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the physical destruction of the territory and its impact on the Palestinian people. >> … “ungrounding” is “a kind of destruction that we have not seen anywhere else,” with Israeli bulldozers “terraforming” the landscape to erase all traces of Palestinian life. With thousands of bodies still unrecovered from under destroyed buildings, Israel’s flattening, extraction and reshaping of the rubble in Gaza is a continuation of its crimes, says Weizman… #ForensicArchitecture #Gaza #palestine #DemocracyNow @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com

“Ungrounding”: Eyal Weizman on Gaza Genocide & Israel’s “Permanent Architecture of Control”

DemocracyNow reporting on a AI generated argument between Sam Altman and Naomi Klein is where we are now. The internet is increasingly LLM content, and because it's so much easier to generate soon it will be, or maybe already is, the majority. That will discourage actual content creators to create and readers to read, advertisers to advertise and hosters to host. This is the path to the dead internet. https://youtu.be/BbcC-hp687M #AIslop #SamAltman #democracynow #Naomiklein #deadinternet

Berlin’s Queer Commissioner on Fatal Car Ramming Attack on LGBTQ+ Pride Celebration

A man drove a minivan into a crowd of people near Berlin’s Pride celebrations on Saturday, killing one person and injuring 29 others. Authorities shot and killed the man during an operation on Sunday. The alleged suspect was identified as Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen. According to authorities, Ballout tried to join the Islamic State in 2025 and was released from prison in May after being jailed for preparing an attack. “The far right here in Germany is, of course, waiting for an a

Oooh - normally I'd rather use an RSS feed directly but this is one of those rare times that a fedi bot is on the side of good,I think. http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat was just shared by @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss@burn.capital which, yeah, kind of important to be forthright about this? Just a little? And corporate media isn't doing a great job of that. A third of a million climate evacuees this week! among the largest peacetime evacuations in France since World War II with important facets omitted in other coverage: the firefighters’ strike in Madrid? They had been warning for years about being underresourced, ... they are in, ... Madrid, a conservative-controlled area where the head of the region talks about, oh, climate change as being propaganda. #DemocracyNow #news #Spain #wildfires #climateChange

“Frontlines of a Burning World”: Climate Change-Fueled “Megafires” Sweep Europe & North America

France and Spain are battling catastrophic wildfires that have forced more than 350,000 people to evacuate their homes. The fires began in the southwest of France on Wednesday before spreading to Spain, where they have consumed more than 120,000 acres in what is now the most destructive fire in Spain’s recent history. Meanwhile, a new heat wave is expected to hit Europe this week, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Professor Ángel Luis Lara, who fled his home we

Replying to
these academics have context that bloviators lack: The extreme temperatures and severe drought conditions have created a new category of sixth-generation wildfires what's a sixth-gen wildfire? these are not normal fires. They are so intense that they create their own weather systems — right? — and making them virtually impossible to extinguish until the weather recedes just how cataclysmic? flames exceeding a hundred meters, so these are 30-story-tall flames and It’s extraordinary, kind of end times-class energy that is being released by these systems now. http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat #wildfires #spain #DemocracyNow #climateChange

He Saw ICE Agent Kill His Brother in Texas. Now He’s Detained and Facing Deportation

After ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas, last week, they quickly arrested three witnesses: the other men that the 52-year-old father of three was driving to work. The three men, including Salgado Araujo’s younger brother Victor, are now being detained by ICE and threatened with deportation. “There is a Trump militia roaming our streets, our towns, our cities, killing people regardless of immigration status with absolutely no accountability. … They are either not

U.S. Plans “Illegal Embassy” in Jerusalem on Land Stolen from Palestinian Families: Rashid Khalidi

The United States and Israel earlier this month signed a deal allocating land for a permanent U.S. Embassy in West Jerusalem — years after a temporary embassy was established during Trump’s first term in office. Palestinian families have pleaded with the U.S. government to reconsider the embassy’s planned location, saying the site in the area known as the Allenby compound was unlawfully taken from them decades ago.

Give MPs a vote on NHS pharma deal with Trump

Last year the UK government agreed a deal with Donald Trump that will see the NHS pay pharma companies much higher drugs prices. This will cost the NHS £45 billion by 2036 – yet it was barrelled through by Keir Starmer’s government without transparency or giving MPs a vote on the deal. Research in the British Medical Journal shows that diverting NHS funds to pay for it would result in more than 200,000 avoidable patient deaths by 2036. On this matter of crucial importance to the NHS, the UK must
