As Gaza faces over three months of Israeli blockade, a group of 12 activists is sailing to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid.

The Madleen ship was launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and initially planned to sail from Malta last month, but the group's ship was damaged in a drone attack.

The new mission includes the renowned Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who speaks with Democracy Now! live from the Madleen.

Hahaha I just saw someone call ChatGPT “Grand Theft Autocorrect” 😆

What’s worse than the government using a legal loophole to get around the 4th Amendment by buying Americans’ data from private companies?

How about creating a massive, centralized system of that data for the government to use virtually unchecked?

@znoteer I see that often. When we held DebConf16 in Cape Town, it was election year, and many people were amused by all the "Vote EFF" posters on the sign posts.

Wow the Rhamaphosa / Trump meeting is off the rockers, insane that Trump played EFF clips of Malema in the White House, as insane as that house is, never expected that.

@fkamiah17 Wow and he's so mild mannered. Boycot NYU.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded 70GBs of articles from JSTOR. He faced $1 million fine and 35 years in jail. He took his life in 2013.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models without any punishment.

If you have the power to offer someone a little relief, do it. You know what a little relief feels like? It feels like a lot.
