UPDATE 4-MAY-2026 18:23 UTC+7 348/560 — $212 left to cover May essentials. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed so far 🙂‍↕️ I’m disabled with no healthcare or fixed income, and I need ongoing support to stay afloat. If you can spare at least $5/month, it would make a real difference. If you prefer one-off support, that helps just as much. Please help amplify this so it reaches more people.

31 of the roughly 175 activists (including 3 Australians) were so-mistreated by the Israeli's they had to go to hospital in Crete after finally being released from illegal detainment after their illegal capture on open waters by the piritic-israeli terrorist regime. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/02/gaza-flotilla-australian-activists-released-crete-allege-mistreatment-by-israel-ntwnfb #BoycottIsrael #HumanRights #Piracy #Crime #Law #News #Activism #Flotilla #Gaza #Palestine

The Guardian | Working Americans are taking the streets for May Day. Will Democrats pay attention? | Claire Valdez by Claire Valdez AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. May Day on May 1, 2026 saw more than 3,000 protests across the United States as workers, students and families demanded a strike that halts school, work and shopping while ending billionaire rule. Claire Valdez, a New York assemblymember, union organizer and Democratic socialist running for Congress, argues that both the Republican and Democratic establishments have abandoned the working class—exemplified by policies that ignore the cost‑of‑living crisis, fund overseas conflicts, and deregulate labor protections. She links today’s struggle to the historic fight for the eight‑hour day, noting that modern oligarchs such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are undermining workers’ rights while private‑equity gutts hospitals and pensions. Valdez calls for organized action, quoting UAW president Shawn Fain that it is time to decide the world we want and what we are willing to do, and urges unions to set contracts to expire on May 1 2028 and prepare for a general strike and a progressive electoral surge. The piece frames May Day as both beautiful and devastating—a reminder of the high stakes and the power of collective action to secure dignified wages, benefits, housing, healthcare and a good life for ordinary Americans.

Israeli forces raid Global Sumud Flotilla boats in _International Waters_ which is clear Piracy & Kidnapping "Israeli military forces have intercepted boats travelling with the Global Sumud Flotilla, using drones, communications jamming technology and armed raiding parties to halt the humanitarian fleet in the middle of the Mediterranean.." So not only does Israel believe it has a "right" to steal ALL the lands, but all the open oceans now too.. Israel is a Terrorist State that MUST be STOPPED. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/29/israeli-military-speedboats-block-gaza-bound-aid-ship #BoycottIsrael #Piracy #Kidnapping #HumanRights #News #Activism #Gaza #Palestine

MAY ESSENTIALS $560 DEADLINE 16/05/2026 I need to cover $560 for groceries, utilities, internet, and basic necessities after an April shortfall carried into May. April’s goal was $625, but only $440 was met. The minimum for April was $375, but only $190 was received for April essentials. The rest covered overdue March costs and groceries for the first weeks of April. The remaining $185 groceries gap now carries into May. 🗒️ Breakdown: $185 April groceries gap $375 May basics • $250 groceries • $90 utilities + water • $35 internet + phone data If you’re able to help, please support today through the link in bio or by scanning the QR code. Monthly pledges are especially helpful due to disability and the constraints that come with it, but one-off support also helps greatly. Even small contributions make a real difference toward food, bills, and staying connected online. Sharing this post also helps greatly if financial support is not possible. This support helps keep me fed, connected, and able to continue sustaining a global mutual-aid network with comrades organising across borders. Every bit helps keep it going. Thank you.

"Anarchists often note that there is a difference between protest and direct action: Protest is an appeal to the authorities to behave differently; direct action, whether it’s a matter of a community building a well, trying to shut down a meeting, or occupying a factory, it is a matter of acting as if the existing structure of power does not even exist. Direct action is, ultimately, the defiant insistence on acting as if one is already free." - David Graeber #anarchism #activism #DirectAction #MutualAid #Protest

Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds We tried our best :'( April’s basic necessities were not fully met. The goal was $625, but only $440 of that was met. The minimum for April was $375, but only $190 was received for April essentials. The rest of that $440 covered overdue March costs and groceries for the first weeks of April. Since April’s overdue utilities and internet were already handled, the remaining $185 is the groceries gap. That shortfall now carries into May. Total needed: $560 🗒️ Breakdown: $185 — April groceries gap carrying into May $375 — May basic necessities • $250 groceries • $90 utilities + water • $35 internet + phone data Monthly pledges are preferred due to disability and the constraints that come with it. However, one-off support also helps greatly. Aside from Ko-fi, other support options and social profiles are here: https://wrzky.com/links Support keeps this work alive. Scan the QR code or visit wrzky.com/links to help keep me fed, medicated, connected, and able to continue mutual aid and solidarity work.

Hi folks. It's Andrew with another update on our battle over the "wrong to repair" bill that continues to move through the Colorado legislature, SB26-090. I am asking anyone, but especially those with a background as a cybersecurity practitioner, to please consider submitting written or live/virtual testimony TODAY to the committee who will be hearing this bill, starting at 1:30pm mountain time. This afternoon, in a little under four hours, a House committee will be hearing testimony on the bill. If you have been waiting for your moment, this might be the last chance you have this session to weigh in and express your support for this critical right we may lose in the next few days. Opponents of Colorado's right to repair law, which only came into effect on January 1, include companies like IBM and Cisco Systems. They are making outrageous and counterfactual claims about the right to repair in order to pressure lawmakers into accepting this bill that would exclude any technology classified as "critical infrastructure" as exempt from the right to repair law. One of the most egregiously wrong claims they have repeatedly made is that a "right to repair" items like a firewall somehow makes the products Cisco and IBM sell less safe from a cybersecurity perspective. After the committee hearing last month, I spoke in the hallway with the government affairs person from Cisco. I asked him to explain it to me, a cybersecurity professional, why being able to fix a broken firewall presents a cybersecurity risk. He could not explain it, simply repeating that giving people access to internal schematics in order to let them repair parts in a network edge device somehow presents a risk that adversaries would then be able to more easily reverse-engineer the product. The cybersecurity folks know where this is leading: They are claiming that the obscurity of their documentation about their products is the cybersecurity feature that protects them from attack. Those of us who are practitioners in this space know that obscurity provides no security whatsoever in the long term, and that giving people the ability to replace broken parts, like power supplies, does not threaten the cybersecurity of a router or firewall any more than replacing a power cord. After all, data centers have tight security about who is allowed in or out, and engage with cyber- and physical pentesters to routinely check the security of their facilities. The reality is that the west's biggest adversary, China, already has every model of every firewall on earth in its possession, and has thrown brigades of bodies at them to perform the reverse engineering Cisco claims they want to prevent. That cat is out of the bag. This bill will not provide any cybersecurity protection to any Cisco firewall. As I said to the Cisco lobbyist, if an adversary already has physical access to the device, it's game over. Adversaries don't swap out broken hard drives or power supplies. Beyond that specious argument, there is a secondary problem with the bill: It never defines with any necessary level of detail what comprises "critical infrastructure" - which means that, if a regular, commercial TV set you can buy at Costco is being used as a monitor in a SOC, it's possible that those commercial products will end up lumped into the category of "critical infrastructure." We all know that what makes electronic infrastructure critical is not what it is - phones, laptops, desktops, printers, scanners, even desk lamps - but how and where, and for what purpose it is used What this bill appears to be about, and why Cisco and IBM are fighting to advance it so hard, is that it enables the rent-seeking behavior of companies who want to lock their customers in to expensive annual support contracts, and lock third-party support companies out of the equation. That's literally all this is, a way to defend an ongoing revenue stream. Any arguments other than that make no sense. If you can, please consider testifying in person: The lobbyists have seemingly infinite time and access to these legislators, and have been steamrolling the entire process through, using ridiculous lies and arguments that make no sense to anyone with background as a practitioner. we want to focus on three core messages: This bill is ridiculously broad and would sweep up most IT equipment, limiting repair options for everyone from Fortune 500 companies to small mom-and-pop businesses, schools, hospitals, libraries, universities, local governments, law enforcement agencies and more. It is a false premise to claim that repair tools are a security risk and limiting those tools to the manufacturer's repairers is safer. This bill allows manufacturers to lock out repair competition and monopolize repair for their products; that drives up costs, reduces quality, and can undermine the secondary market. If you can share your personal background and experience and speak to how limiting access to repair tools will not make products safer would be great. You don't need to be a Colorado resident, or even based in the US. Here's how you do it: sign up to testify here: https://sites.coleg.gov/public-testimony/sign-up-to-testify/step-1 Search for SB26-090 Select the bill when it pops up Fill in your details including whether you are testifying in-person or remotely. Please select "Oppose" for your position. Enter your information Show up and, when called, give your two (or three, depending on how many/few sign up) minutes of testimony, and be prepared to answer questions The people pushing this bill are counting on the fact that this is happening in the middle of a workday, when we're all trying to wreck hackers. But this is a case where we, as a community, need to stand up for what's right. Not doing so will make all of our jobs harder in the future. I hope to see you there. #COpolitics #RightToRepair #activism #hackers #cybersecurity #cybersicherheit #cyberseguridad

Still no movement, sadly. It’s already the end of the month, and next month’s needs are going to pile up again. I appreciate any support rn. Scan QR code in pic 2 if you’re willing to support. If not, I’d appreciate it if you boost this.

If you've been wondering why I haven't published any new articles in a while, Just a reminder that I actually wrote 25 short articles just in February! They were all published together with the launch of Privacy Guides' new Activism section in March. They're short articles offering practical tips and resources. You can find them all linked here, on the Privacy Activist Toolbox page 🧰👇 https://www.privacyguides.org/en/activism/toolbox/ #Privacy #Activism #DigitalRights

At least 160,000 people to be removed from NDIS as Labor unveils “unavoidable and urgent” cuts

  • as the fossil fuel industry rubs their hands together grinning and awaiting the sweet sweet cash-influx..

“At least 160,000 people are expected to be removed from the National Disability Insurance Scheme by 2030, as the Albanese government looks to claw back savings by changing who can access the scheme.

The health minister, Mark Butler, also announced on Wednesday the $50bn scheme’s growth rate will be brought down to just 2% every year until 2030 in an effort to curb annual plan inflation and produce billions in savings.

The government will dramatically increase the categories of service providers required to register with the federal government, adding more higher risk activities, including personal care, daily living supports, and supports provided in closed settings.”

  • So while the responsibilities of the care providers are increased, their pay goes down.

“There are about 760,000 people on the scheme at the moment, meaning at least 160,000 will no longer be able to access the NDIS within four years.

“These are hard decisions – but they’re unavoidable and urgent,” Butler said.”

  • But apparently new gas projects, perks for the fossil fuel industry, paying the DT regime $368b for subs we’ll never receive, etc.etc.etc. are ‘Easy decisions’ for Labor.. Well done Labor, good job, as usual.. 🙄

Just In: ‘Goods over humans’: EU condemned for failure to suspend Israel trade deal Human rights experts, including Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International’s senior director for research and advocacy, have accused the European Union of “knowingly enabling” Israel’s “grave violations” after two EU countries blocked a move to suspend a trade agreement between the trading bloc and Israel. “The EU’s failure to suspend its Association Agreement with Israel is a damning betrayal of its own values,” Rosas wrote in a post on X after Germany and Italy blocked a move put forward by Spain, Slovenia and Ireland to suspend the deal. “Given the overwhelming evidence that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, maintained an apartheid system against Palestinians, and unlawfully occupied their territory, inaction becomes a deliberate choice,” Rosas added. Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, also condemned the decision. “Maintaining trade in times of genocide means valuing goods over humans,” she said in a post on X. “Markets over life,” she added. Before Germany and Italy stopped the bid on Tuesday, more than 60 human rights organisations, including Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, had called on the EU and member states to suspend the Association Agreement with Israel. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/4/22/iran-war-live-trump-says-ceasefire-extended-as-talks-with-tehran-in-limbo?update=4512088 #EUFail #GermanyComplicit #ItalyComplicit #Complicit #WarCrimes #News #HumanRights #Activism #Gaza #Palestine #BoycottIsrael

New more factual headline: "NDIS is costing too much and growing too fast because the fossil fuel industry is making people sicker and sicker, so we're going to abandon the sick by cutting NDIS in favor of continued support to the fossil fuel industry that's making everyone sick" There you go, wasn't that hard to tell the truth now was it? https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2026/apr/22/australia-news-live-ndis-savings-cuts-mark-butler-aged-care-cost-of-living-budget-jim-chalmers-labor-coalition-ntwnfb #LaborFail #NDIS #Corruption #AUSPol #News #HumanRights #Health #Activism
