The immediate threat now has a date. On September 25, the temporary U.S. authorization for institutions to wind down their relationships with A/I expires. Banks, technology companies, hosting providers and other institutions are being instructed to sever what remains. A/I built its infrastructure to survive the disappearance of a server. The United States is now attempting to make the collective economically and technologically untouchable. Join us as we explore what A/I is, its history, and what this newest attack might mean for the autonomous tech collective and the wider radical community.
It should have been a dark and stormy night in an Italian hacklab.
It was, annoyingly, a beautiful sunny Sunday.
On March 3, 2001, roughly ten people gathered at the LOA hacklab in Milan around a computer assembled from discarded machinery. A bank had sold them an old server for the symbolic price of 15,000 lire, about eight dollars.
They expanded it with scavenged components, including a hard drive pulled from someone’s home computer. Nobody arrived with a formal blueprint. Software packages were considered one at a time. Every decision was discussed until everyone agreed. Deliberately, the least technically experienced person was placed at the keyboard.
The process took far longer than necessary because efficiency was not the only objective. Everyone was supposed to understand what they were building. That day, one participant later recalled, was when they declared: “A/I now exists.”
The distance between those two events—from a recycled machine in a Milan hacklab to the machinery of the American national-security state—is the history of a collective that has spent a quarter century insisting upon one dangerous proposition:
People should be able to communicate without first surrendering themselves to corporations or governments.

On August 28, 2026, someone managed to gain access to the noblogs.org platform as a privileged user, exploiting a vulnerability in the software we use to provide the platform.
The access lasted for about two hours, during which the homepage of noblogs.org was changed, and we cannot rule out that the attacker may have had access to the users’ database, which contains the list of email addresses of the people who manage the blogs and their passwords (not in plain text).
No IP addresses, neither of those who write nor of those who read, are stored on the server.
Our blog Cavallette automatically publishes to our Mastodon profile, so a post written by the attacker was also reposted there.
We recommend that anyone with the Mastodon Autopost plugin enabled on their blog, as we do, immediately change the password of their social account and revoke Noblogs’ authorization from Profile Settings → Account → Authorized Apps.
For now, noblogs.org is UP and online in read-only mode.
We are working to restore all of Noblogs’ functionalities as soon as possible and in the best possible way!

€1 million in damages and 4 Carabinieri trucks set ablaze: a determined protest against the Lyon-Turin high-speed rail line
The annual march against the doubling of the Lyon-Turin high-speed rail line in the Susa Valley this weekend was particularly determined.
On the sidelines of the 10th edition of the “Alta Felicità” festival, 20,000 people mobilized against the ongoing destruction.
As every summer for the past 10 years, the Susa Valley hosted the “Alta Felicità” festival and a large march against the massive, unnecessary, and imposed project to double the Lyon-Turin railway line.
As a reminder, this major project, initiated in the 1980s, threatens 1,500 hectares of land, plains, valleys, and mountains across the Alps, in both Italy and France.
To force through its 270-kilometer route, its 202 kilometers of tunnels, and its 11 tunnels under the mountains, the operating company TELT is siphoning off tens of billions of euros invested by local communities and causing irreversible ecological damage.
While the route is more extensive on the French side, it is on the Italian side that work began earliest, and where mobilization has been organized since the early 2000s, with regular encampments (“presidio”) being set up to block the construction.
The mobilization called for this summer was marked by impressive participation, with more than 40,000 people converging from Italy and around the world on Venaus, according to local media.
Record attendance can be attributed both to the festival’s anniversary and to the 15th anniversary of “The Free Republic of La Maddalena,” a presidio (a self-proclaimed stronghold) established during six weeks of fierce struggle in Chiomonte, near Venaus, in 2011.
On Saturday, July 25, a large demonstration and a caravan of vehicles were called to depart from Venaus and Suza after the festival’s opening.

Right now, police are attempting to evict Kasa Invisivel, an occupied social center and housing collective in Belo Horizonte, Brazil that has served for many years as a hub for mutual aid.

The three formerly abandoned houses now occupied by this autonomous, anti-capitalist collective serve as a home for people in need.
While there are hundreds of building and land occupations in Minas Gerais alone, Kasa is one of only a few squats in the region that explicitly exist to support struggles against the state and capitalism.
While they aim to be a reference and inspiration for similar projects throughout Brazil for a long time to come, recent circumstances have put the future of their occupation in question, prompting them to call for solidarity from the international community to keep this vital center of resistance active.

HRW reports 300% rise in miscarriages during Israel’s …

Shocking news of a sudden over-threefold year-on-year increase of the number of miscarriages and stillbirths should be front page on global media.
But because it is one of the latest consequences of the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, it will probably go ignored by most Western corporate media.

In fact, since a ‘ceasefire’ supposedly came into effect in October 2025, media coverage of Gaza has decreased dramatically.

But – as with ceasefires prior – Israel has continued to kill Palestinians in Gaza on a near-daily basis, by bombing, machinegun fire, drone strikes, and by (continuing its near twenty-year siege on Gaza) not allowing in adequate amounts of humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and other things needed to just sustain life at the very basic level.
As of August 19, the Gaza Health Ministry reports 1,273 Palestinians have been killed, 4,223 wounded since October 11, 2025.

In mid-July, Ahmad Abu Foul, a Palestinian medic who I’ve known since I lived in Gaza, told me of the sudden increase in miscarriages, primarily among women living in displacement tents across the Gaza Strip.
He cited Dr. Mohammed Al-Bashiti, an obstetrics and gynecology specialist at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, as warning of this disturbing increase and attributing it to various environmental and physical factors, notably, severe malnutrition and anemia, and “extreme physical fatigue due to repeated displacement from one place to another.
Many are forced to carry heavy loads beyond their physical capacity, putting their pregnancies at greater risk.”
But it’s also caused by exposure to toxic chemicals – explosive residues, TNT-related materials, smoke – which put the baby at risk. Ahmad said that his sister just had a miscarriage at four months pregnant, and his niece had a stillbirth at eight months.
The Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, on July 30 published an article highlighting the dramatic rise in miscarriages. It cited a recent UN report stating from January to June 2026, 3,950 miscarriages had been reported.
This is over triple the 1,197 miscarriages reported from July to December 2025. The miscarriage rate, it notes, is one-sixth of all pregnancies.
Haaretz cited Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, head of the pediatric department at Nasser Hospital as likewise saying the contributing factors to the increase in miscarriages are malnutrition and stress and also water shortages:
“We have reached a point where each person has three liters of water a day, far below the minimum required. Ninety percent of the water is not fit for drinking. The water shortage leads to infections, weakening the immune system and worsening malnutrition.”
With the complete destruction of the Gaza Strip by Israel, and with Palestinians constantly forced to suddenly move their inadequate tents elsewhere, the lack of clean drinking water, and the near-complete dependence on financial and humanitarian aid from the outside world set the stage for a host of food-, water-, and hygiene-related illnesses, and now this dramatic increase in miscarriages.
Although it was stipulated in the ‘ceasefire’, Israel hasn’t been allowing sufficient food, water and medicines to enter Gaza.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported on August 9, 2026, that, “Israel enforces a comprehensive policy that disrupts the entire supply chain, starting from the entry of goods and aid through crossings until they reach the population.”
It notes the dearth of aid trucks entering Gaza in the first place, and that those which are permitted entry are not guaranteed to reach those in need, “due to the destruction or impairment of the transportation, storage, and distribution infrastructure.”
It also notes that delays in shipping “cause frozen food, medicine, and other vital materials to spoil before reaching those in need.”
Euro-Med points out that Israel, “as the occupying power, has an obligation under Articles 55 and 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention to guarantee that the population receives food and medical supplies when local resources are insufficient.”
From a logistical perspective, many of the illnesses plaguing Gaza could be eradicated were Israel to adhere to international law and allow in sufficient food, water and medical aid.
Israel is of course aware of this, as it has been since enforcing a full siege on Gaza in 2007. But the Israeli authorities know no international body or state – certainly not its biggest backer, the US – will force it to stop its genocide and allow in aid.
Israel has been expanding its control of Gaza via a constantly-expanding, mostly-invisible, ‘Yellow Line’ – a demarcation line set out in the Israeli-US ‘peace plan’ of 2025.
The Palestinians can mainly only guess at where it lies, aside from some yellow cement blocks which are periodically moved still further into Gaza, to claim more land.
Palestinians report being fired upon by Israeli forces even if nowhere near where the Yellow Line might be.
This is reminiscent of the Israeli ‘Buffer Zone’ imposed inside the Gaza Strip in the 90s and widened in the 2000s, expanding from 50 meters to 300 meters to much further. It was imposed in the name of “security” but was, in reality, another landgrab device.
Having accompanied Palestinian farmers for years when I lived in Gaza, I’m acutely aware of how Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition on any – elderly to child – Palestinian civilians, whether near what Israel deemed off limits, or hundreds of meters or even a kilometer away.
We routinely came under this fire, bullets whizzing close by our heads and bodies, Israel maiming or killing Palestinians who were simply trying to work their farmland.

TRT World noted in a July 27 article that since October, “the so-called Yellow Line has expanded from covering roughly half of Gaza to nearly 65 percent of the territory by June, and more than 23 kilometers of berms have gone up alongside it.”
Many Palestinians, including Ahmad, the medic mentioned above, report being told suddenly one morning to move west as the Israeli occupying forces shift the Yellow Line still further.

Wish Nikita a Happy Birthday!

On August 17, Nikita Uvarov will turn 21. It’s hard to believe, because when we began the campaign in support of Nikita and the other defendants in the “Kansk teenagers case”, he was 15 years old — and he was only 14 when he was detained. In 2022, a court sentenced Nikita to five years in prison, and he was supposed to be released at the age of 20. But Nikita is now turning 21, and he is still behind bars. How did this happen?
In the summer of 2020, in the city of Kansk in Russia’s Krasnoyarsk region, Nikita Uvarov and his friends, who shared anarchist ideals, put up leaflets supporting political prisoners and criticizing the state. One of the leaflets was posted on the building of the local FSB office.
Some time later, the teenagers were detained. Security officials put pressure on the young people and their parents and forced them to unlock their phones. Later, based on messages found on the phones and statements obtained under pressure from Denis Mikhaylenko and Bogdan Andreyev, the authorities fabricated a case accusing them of “training for terrorism” — alleging that the teenagers had been preparing to blow up the FSB building in Kansk.
On February 10, 2022, Nikita was sentenced to five years in prison, while Mikhaylenko and Andreyev received suspended sentences. By then, Nikita had already spent almost a year in pretrial detention and was due to be released in the spring of 2026.
A month before his release, a new case was fabricated against Nikita, accusing him of participating in the “AUE movement,” which has been designated extremist in Russia. Investigators claim that while in the penal colony, Nikita allegedly spread the “laws of the criminal world” among other prisoners. Yet Penal Colony No. 31, where he was serving his sentence, is a tightly controlled, or “red,” colony, where prison subculture exists only to the extent that the administration finds it useful.
