Their persecution is meant to chill political speech broadly.

Central planners had a rational vision: replace the anarchy of the market with conscious coordination.
📰 In LIB, Vivek Chibber explains why calculation and incentive problems undermined that vision, but a different sort of socialism can still flourish.

The sanctions against Albanese, who previously recommended the ICC pursue war-crimes charges against Israeli officials, were announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in July 2025. But on Wednesday, a DC judged ruled the sanctions were a violation of free speech.
In August 2025, Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC, was locked out of the financial system and most online services. Why? The US had placed him on a sanctions list that includes al-Qaeda members and Vladimir Putin because the court issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu.
German journalist Hüseyin Doğru serves as another example. Doğru was placed on an EU sanctions list in May 2025, which barred him from traveling or accessing his personal financial accounts. The journalist said the sanctions were imposed because “the state was bothered by our critical reporting on the repression of pro-Palestinian activists here in Germany.”
The result? Doğru has struggled to feed his newborn child.

For the average American, a data center looks like an annoying physical and financial encroachment that doesn’t create local jobs but threatens to make the affordability and education crisis worse, all to enrich a distant tech bro’s AI product.

It’s 78 years since the Palestinian Nakba — the catastrophe.
Rather than a single point in time, we might think about it as a disaster whose legacies and possible outcomes are still unfolding. In its lifespan, a new geological time period has been anointed, the number of sovereign nation-states has jumped from seventy to almost two hundred, and communication has been revolutionized by IT.
Amid this dizzying kaleidoscope, the Palestinians have fought desperately — often in vain — to control the tide and meaning of their national cataclysm. In one direction lies survival. In the other, the way of the dodo. The Nakba’s ultimate legacy has never been predetermined. But the starkness of that binary choice has always been obvious to Palestinians.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
