Hey everyone,

Gaza Verified is now open again for verification calls in 2026.

The new process for signing up for verification calls uses sign in with Mastodon and should remove the last remaining technical hurdle that was giving some of our friends in Gaza a hard time (adding the verification link to your Mastodon account is not intuitive in the current Mastodon interface). With this new flow, you won’t have to, we do it for you.

Also, please remember that Israel, USA, and Germany are continuing their genocide of the Palestinian people with the complicity of the UK and almost the entire rest of the EU.

And we can help, if only a little. And even if it’s just a drop in the ocean it’s still a meaningful drop for those it helps:

I am very pleased to announce the release of my new video "Wannabe dictator — why Trump's regime will fall".

Every move Trump made to consolidate power in 2025 reminded me of something I have seen before. So I decided to investigate the historic parallels, and what I found will shock you. In this video I explain how meticulously Trump has copied the fascist playbook, and why Trump will ultimately fail.

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!

If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from Open Source, or if you're simply interested in questions about digital sovereignty, please visit https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en for details on how to contribute.

I put him to sleep yesterday. My sweet boy for 15 years. He’d come to me from an abusive home. You could see it in how he held himself those first months, like he was always bracing.

But he figured it out. Not all at once but in small surrenders. Picking up a toy. Playing so free. The way he’d eventually push his head under your hand, asking.

I miss him.

If you have a moment, I’d like to hear about your animals. The ones you still carry with you.
