Holy shit. America’s premier national police force and domestic intelligence agency had ALL of its personnel files stolen by a French hacking collective, including the job assignments of FBI agents in counterintelligence and undercover narcotics. How is this not bigger news?

David Graeber once wrote, "In its essence direct action is the insistence, when faced with structures of unjust authority, on acting as if one is already free."
And that is what they are doing at the protest camp in Madrid. Their direct action is acting as if they are already free.

New: iPhones have an automatic reboot feature which quietly reboots the phone after a certain time; cops were freaking out about this when we revealed it in 2024. Now, phone hackers have a way around it, according to a leaked video

Kenya's CBE education system has forced the nation to unwittingly continue to perpetuate the arts as something only the elite can pursue. By treating artistic expression as a luxury rather than a fundamental human right, the education system quietly executes a cultural heist – convincing us that creative legacy is reserved solely for the privileged. But creativity is not an elite commodity to be rationed. When a nation’s education system treats creativity as a luxury, are we genuinely nurturing a generation of innovators?

#Tigray
We know when what happens when communication is shutdown and the media on the ground is targeted by drone strikes. We have seen this during the 2020-2 campaign. The aim is to create a zone of invisibility in which harms to civilians go unnoticed by the world...
Enough is enough!
People in Ethiopia’s Tigray region are once again cut off from the internet + the world, with services disrupted since September 25.
The region has already endured a blackout lasting over two years in 2020. It must NOT happen again.

My book on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, published in 2022, ended with the point that intelligence assets engaged in blackmail, like Epstein, are no longer needed (and thus became expendable) because the surveillance state can retrieve blackmail directly from your devices or plant incriminating material on them.
Four years later, they are just saying it out in the open.

Karen Nyamu’s AI Bill 2026 borrows the EU’s AI framework — then adds the criminalisation of AI expression.
In 2024, Gen Z used AI, memes and social media to challenge power. Young Kenyans were subsequently targeted over political posts and AI-generated satire.
Now imagine giving the State a new offence, KSh5m fine and 2 years in prison — without an explicit protection for political satire. Tutakimbizwa hii taon vibaya!

Great article by historian Amsale Alemu exploring how Ethiopian radical thinkers developed and articulated their anti-imperialist analysis and their political vision for the nation via critiquing Selassie's Cold War strategy of becoming a US client state. read-dukeupress-edu.ezp.lib.…

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

❗️ The Dutch intelligence service AIVD is warning people not to hold confidential conversations in or near their cars, saying the microphones in many modern vehicles can technically be switched on remotely to eavesdrop.
Some state actors can request car data from carmakers and other companies or hack in to get it themselves, the agency says.
It advises skipping wireless charging and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing, using a USB data blocker and not taking a car with an external camera to a sensitive location.

A federal court told Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, and GM they can legally record and intercept your private texts and call logs the second you plug your phone into the car.
The infotainment system downloads everything. You can’t see it. You can’t delete it. Police can.
The judge said that’s not a privacy violation unless you prove it already damaged your reputation or your business.
You paid tens of thousands of dollars for a rolling wiretap. This is the surveillance state on four wheels.
