A Call for Solidarity from the Universities in Rojava/Northern and Eastern Syria*The following statement was issued by the Universities in Rojava/Northern and Eastern Syria (University of Rojava, Kobani University, and University of Al-Sharq) on 22 January 2026.*
> *We call on you, wherever you are, to stand with Rojava. Raise your voice. Organize on your campuses, in your unions, and in your communities. Use your positions, however limited they may feel, to push for action, to demand accountability, and to refuse silence. Strengthen the networks of solidarity that make resistance possible. Stand up for the revolutionary aims of freedom, women’s liberation, ecological life, and democratic communal life. Your solidarity is part of our self-defense, and it can help shift the balance and prevent yet another genocide in the region.*

**The Anti-AI Protests Have Arrived in Portland, and This is Only the Beginning**
By @npub15z3…0xrp | @npub1309…us9c
According to reports from pro-#AI attendees at a business meetup in #Portland, #Oregon, anti-AI protesters showed up outside, throwing eggs and paint at cars and distributing pamphlets with the following message:
> *“BUTLERIAN JIHAD AGAINST AI*
> *never ending destruction and death propels the machine of progress. AI rides on the front of this beast, annihilating humanity, leaving nothing in its wake but sterile boxes to lock us in and apps to keep us sedated. while the techies are inside sipping their cocktails the rest of us are faced with a choice: to accept our position at the bottom of the social order or find our people and bring the whole thing down. only we can decide to smash the screens that are brainwashing us into submission.*
> *the time is now,
> the day is here,
> ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!”*

Sabot in the Age of AI
Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.

🔻 Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @npub1uyd…ma7v

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @npub14j3…2nd9
