Ok. This isn't my typical kind of content, but here we go.
A lunatic #christian attempted #serialkiller murdered a christian pastor. He planned on killing a bakers dozen+. In gruesome ways.
He's a #radicalized christian.
Because his mugshot shows #hebrew letters tattooed on his neck, #rightwing white power losers and #leftwing anti-#Israel campaigners are spreading that he's #Jewish.
Mostly on X and truth social, but I've seen it on well-known, lefty anti-Israel #fediverse accounts already.
You MFers are going to get us killed with this kind of shit.
This is not anti-#war #activism.
This is how you start anti-Jewish #violence.
Fix your fucking house. Aware instance owners that don't block these accounts are complicit.
"He was asked if he was ever victimized by anyone in the Christian faith. He said no, that his family is Christian, and that he had a good childhood."

"The leftists I know are all engaged and committed to fighting back. They’re not cowering doomsday preppers. They are working hard and showing more ambition than anyone else in politics. It’s the liberals and centrists who are the pessimistic, unimaginative ones who think we must take baby steps and that nothing good is possible. In fact, I think the excess negativity on the left here is Guastella’s. He is telling us we’re all a bunch of failures unworthy of the great Karl Marx. (“Are there any intellectuals of the Left today whose insights and commitment to humanity’s long-term horizon rival those of Karl Marx or Karl Polanyi?”)
But look, I believe in solidarity. I don’t want a rift with Guastella and Jacobin here, because I have immense respect for Jacobin and warm, comradely feelings toward them. I don’t feel Guastella is being fair to me or to Melonio, Taylor, Klein, or Steffen, but the important point is that we all agree, actually. He writes that “without a flag staked in the future — a clear vision of the world we want for our children and theirs — we lose track of where we want to go.” Well you don’t have to tell me, Dustin. I write things like that all the time. So let’s not bicker, eh? There’s no need to write articles in Jacobin castigating fellow leftists as “unserious, misanthropic, and bound to lose.” Just join with us as we build the glorious socialist future together. Solidarity forever!"

“The spirit of Bandung: 70 years on”
by Hanna Eid in Al Mayadeen English
“70 years after the Bandung Conference, the spirit of anti-imperialist unity lives on through Gaza, Yemen, Burkina Faso, and China, rising voices of the Global South against a world still marked by neocolonialism”

A couple of messaging ideas for the Democratic Party and those on the left, here in the U.S. and elsewhere, for more direct, easy to understand and more difficult to confuse or subvert communication with the general public:
Progress, moving forward, progressive; not socialism or socialist.

Very tempted to not even vote this year...
some #nonvoters are #rightWing turds too
we see the #toxicIdealism on the #left, the "it's not perfect so i won't #vote" because we're on #mastodon and in other social silos on the left, which amplifies our impression
still, it's a lot of people like that, enough to make a difference
which is why some of these toxic idealism voices we see are just #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop, cosplaying their fake #leftWing bonafides and working hard to suppress the vote on the left

President #DonaldTrump is on the #WarPath again, this time railing against the #media and publishers whose stories he doesn’t like.
#Trump took to his platform #TruthSocial ( aka the #MinistryOfPropaganda ) to suggest that any negative #press is a result of #LeftWing media attacking him for the “Best Opening Month” of presidency the U.S. has ever seen.

"If the #liberalleft are going to get back on the front foot it will require a much more deliberate approach to meeting people where they are, and engaging with the old-fashioned work of persuasion, rather than expecting people to be on board with #socialchange from the outset.”

2/2 #Harris and the #Democrats were never going to fix this. At best, they would have slowed #Americas decline. Why? Because #neoliberal #capitalism eats itself. #Liberals are Neoliberals. It is a right-wing position, just a kinder, gentler capitalist philosophy (lol). And that’s why they would never fix what needs fixed. That’s why, even when the Dems were in power, they did very little to correct an unsustainable direction. America hasn’t had a real #leftwing movement since #FDR. The malaise of the #1970s should have been an indicator things weren’t working. Instead, the #US kicked the can down the road with #Reagan, and then #Clinton.
THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO CONCERNING THE #ECONOMY #jobs NO MATTER THE #GOV #inequality WILL KILL THE #ECONOMY:
#garyseconomics stop with the #red (#republican #rightwing) vs #blue (#democrats #liberals #leftwing) #bullshit: the real problem is #inequality and over decades no #government has significantly addressed or fixed this ever growing problem = #trump will #fail on the #economy, #starmer will #fail on the #economy because they do not want to touch the #rich #wealthy, #taxtherich or create a completely #newsystem that works for the 99%!!! (BEFORE the #RICH START ANOTHER #WORLDWAR!) state your #demands or you and your children will get #poor and #poor and #poorer and yes they might create #war to keep you fighting for #survival, so #teamup #organize #risupe and come up with new innovative way (have some ideas, can anyone #help?)

Want american Democrats to ACTUALLY DO something already?
Consider Direct Action instead!
But as well as that, we *do* need a non-corrupt (yet! there's always time, ofc) replacement party that is ACTUALLY left-wing.
Tea Party and MAGA supporters did it. Don't follow their strategies completely, but DO LEARN FROM them. We All deserve better, even the Leopards Eating People's Faces party.
How many of them would have supported having their faces eaten if they KNEW it wasn't hyperbole or something?
Or if they took time to imagine and plan for the risks: their or loved ones' faces being eaten by leopards?

Now we just need a name and bunch of furries to advise how to protect our information technologies.
It's good to remember that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is not some left-wing/"woke" concept but is based on science and civil/human rights. You could almost forget because of all misinformation the Trump administration spreads.
Any manager knows for example, diverse teams perform better.

I have this thought for some time and now I need some questions answered.
I noticed that quite often good ideas like #foss #privacy #sustainability and others develop features of a religion, in particular in the form of blaming and pointing fingers inside the community on everyone who is "not ... enough".
I'm looking for a proper term to popularize and normalize the idea that doing little is better than doing nothing.
