🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Ed Martin has sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation accusing it of violating the conditions required to maintain its nonprofit status, The Washington Free Press reported. Martin claims the online encyclopedia is "allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public," and further alleges that its board is "composed primarily of foreign nationals" who are "subverting the interests of American taxpayers."
The letter comes amid a broader wave of criticism from the U.S. right targeting Wikipedia. Martin is reportedly particularly concerned about "edits on Wikipedia related to the Israel-Hamas conflict that are clearly targeted against Israel to benefit other countries."

10,000 soldiers have surrounded Maoist fighters in India's largest military campaign against rural resistance in decades, according to Indian officials. Villages have been sealed off, water sources captured, and supply lines severed, leaving fighters and civilians trapped without food or escape.
The government calls it a “decisive campaign,” unleashing drones, explosives, and paramilitary squads across Chhattisgarh’s forests. Three women Maoists have already been killed under siege.
But this assault is only the latest phase of a silent war: over 300 Maoists have been killed in the past two years, deaths officials present as victories in a war against “internal threats.” Beneath the language of "development," the assault clears the way for mining corporations to seize the land and displace its people.
