Reactionaries can’t resist injecting sexual innuendo, can they?

Giving more weapons and negotiating an end to the war are not mutually exclusive. Biden is Giving Ukraine their best hand possible before the US is likely to duck out.

So let me get this straight, Ukraine will loose even more land of we give them more weapons? Lol okay.

Just in time for FDR Jr to take the helm and… Oh God 😳 I guess I should stockpile TP, masks, and hand sanitizer. Did I forget anything for the next pandemic?

GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

Seriously good read on what to do next: https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/

The fascist power structure is unjust and so it is like an upsidedown pyramid being propped up by pillars: people who do the actual work are the pillars. This pyramid topples when those pillars are removed. This can be a workers’ strike in a certain sector (example given was the eastern shoremen refusing to load weapons for a war).

I’m also struck by how the article says to handle fear. We need to act as community and flip the script on their fear tactics.

The author of the article also has an interesting interview with Sam Seder where they talk about more historical examples: https://youtu.be/YLBM2SEL6Rc

Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.

Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.

Surrendering power and appeasing dictators, famous for not backfiring. /s

Underated article. Do not surrender political space, find community, trust yourself, make strange alliances.

Oh, I think the people getting rid of Lisa Kahn have other ideas about competition.

The call is coming from inside. Google CEO claims it will be like alien intelligence so we should just trust it to make political decisions for us bro: https://www.computing.co.uk/news/2024/ai/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-urges-ai-acceleration-dismisses-climate

Political parties don’t learn, they respond to power.

That or the many other demoralizing speeches. We did not need to hear Clinton talk about human shields.

But then how will billionaires get to say they’re literally thinking of the big picture because they got to go on a brief space joy ride?

For many months we have heard claims of imminent death starvation of millions and that evacuation from Rafah would be impossible. These claims didn’t materialize

Just thousands of deaths from starvation, not millions, totally not a genocide. /s

The majority of the dead aren’t even of voting age.

The state-wide weed markets are another example of what happens when the US government decides your business shouldn’t be recognized by banks abroad.

When the situation changes would you prefer they are part of a union or solidarity group or that they know to vote 3rd party in a past election?

Lots of people foolishly think political parties can learn lessons.
