What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us
Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

Despite a new state law making it a crime punishable by a year of hard labor in prison to interfere with immigration enforcement, and mass surveillance of social media and Reddit by state and federal cops, New Orleanians are determined to protect immigrants from ICE sweeps -- and it's working.

404 Media is making a print zine about the surveillance tactics used by ICE, and how people are resisting this tech.
Why? Print media is cool. Also, 404 Media has watched ICE grow from an already horrifying organization into a deportation force that is better funded than most militaries.

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

“My charge is allegedly having a box containing magazine ‘zines,’ books, and artwork,” Sanchez Estrada said. “Items that should be protected under the First Amendment ‘freedom of speech.’ If this is happening to me now, it’s only a matter of time before it happens to you.”

Some rare good news: Journalists at the PEN Guild won their arbitration case against Politico, which deployed two separate faulty AI products (a "report builder" and a headline and summary generator on the homepage) without their knowledge or input.
That violated their contract, the arbiter found.

"Amid the war, the rubble, and the harsh life imposed on the Gaza Strip, young people like Al-Madhoun have turned to the things that remind them of their humanity, and that they were made to be creative, not to die."
Young creatives in Gaza are still singing, drawing, & dreaming, writes Ghada Abu Muaileq. Some use their artistic talents to soften the darkness of reality, some use them to portray that reality & others try to reclaim the passion that the genocide has stolen from them.
