I have just come from a #Council meeting not directly associated with my #Politics but facing similar #community #communication #Issues. On the '#Liberal #Left #Socialist ' wing we are fragmented, Many #narcisstic #Officers . I always argued for one #media #office to speak for all. 'We' had the £'s pre #StopBrexit & after to fund an office & the talent to staff it. Now? No one single voice speaking #Truth to #Power @NRM @PeterCorr

#GonzoNotes: I bought an ebike about a year ago, and going to sit in the park with a book or riding one of our greenbelt trails keeps me breathing. I wrote a short update about holding onto joy and finding a sense of purpose during dark times...

Breaking the Silence (on FB):

The following statement was published in #Haaretz’s #Hebrew print edition on Friday, in collaboration with many of our partners in #Israeli civil society.

“Say no to the Israeli government’s policy of death

Tens of thousands of deaths, entire cities razed, millions of human beings emaciated from hunger, hostages abandoned to suffer and die - none of this satisfies the bloodlust of the #Netanyahu-Ben Gvir government.

For the sake of its political survival, and in the name of the war of attrition it declared against the Palestinian people, the Israeli government is prepared to continue committing the gravest crimes.

This is what dictatorship looks like - when a leader is prepared to trade in human blood for his own selfish interests.

It’s time to say loud and clear: We will not continue to follow him on this path of doom.

We all have a duty to resist the Netanyahu-Ben Gvir government’s policy of death.

Another example of superior German coverage of America that I wish would be translated as an example: "The word fascism is appropriate." An interview with political scientist Natascha Strobl.

"We may be at this resistance business for a while, so take care of yourself so you can keep taking care of human rights, truth, justice, and the natural world."

Beautiful stuff as always from Rebecca Solnit, and a necessary read.

A video was shown of Israeli soldiers raiding a restaurant in the Occupied West Bank, throwing food on the floor, and arresting one of the workers.

In Ukraine, Radio Free Europe is trusted by 95% of the general public, according to the BBC. Trump is destroying Radio Free Europe. For many decades, no one could imagine an American president acting as destructively as Trump acts. Many of Trump's actions could be predicted by asking: "What would Putin, America's enemy, want an American president to do?" Trump is #PutinsPuppet. #politics #NationalSecurity #media.


A key problem with Rachel Reeves plan to save £5bn by cutting disability benefits eligibility is that many of those costs will need to be picked up by Councils (who are already in grim budgetary position).

So not only is this a policy penalising the vulnerable to free up money for defence, it will also likely compound local problems while ensuring for many disabled people any (posited) reforms of the system will be way too late to help them.

Its a disgrace!

Voting in capitalist democracies is like hitting the 'close door' button in an elevator. It doesn’t actually do anything, but it gives you a fleeting sense of control while the system takes you where it wants.

Elon Musk Is the One Who Set Tesla on Fire

Protesters are the least of this company’s problems.

"Musk’s business troubles go well beyond the #TeslaTakedown protests... The myriad #safety issues plaguing #Tesla point to much broader issues with the company’s #business model. Its competitors might just be better at making #cars. The #Trump administration’s own policies aren’t helping, either."

Text from article:
Dissenting crowds in deep-red Wyoming should be a warning signal to Republicans around the country. In November, state residents voted to send Trump back to the White House by a whopping 46 percent margin. But on Wednesday, roughly three-quarters of the hostile, 500-person crowd were there to oppose Hagemen and elements of Trump’s agenda, reported the Cowboy State Daily.

Musk has eyed slashes to Social Security. Changes are already underway: By DOGE’s demand, the Social Security Administration is nixing some 7,000 employees, or roughly 12 percent of agency staff, and closing offices around the country.


MARCH ON WASHINGTON
STOP THE GENOCIDE!
SATURDAY, APRIL 5 • 1pm • Washington D.C.

[Sponsors include #Palestinian Youth Movement, #Jewish Voice for Peace, and others]

"For over 16 months, #Gaza has endured a brutal, ongoing genocide carried out by #Israel with the full backing and support of the US government. Israel continued to violate the terms of the ceasefire reached on January 19th, breaking it over 980 times...

The movement against genocide in North America has risen time and time again in support of Gaza and will not rest now. The #Trump administration, building on the tactics of the Biden administration, is now increasing its attempts to silence pro- #Palestine, anti-genocide voices. "

Israel inflicted serious damage on Hamas this week, but Palestinian and Israeli sources say the group has shown it can absorb major losses and still fight and govern. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/22/world/politics/hamas-remains-potent-threat/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #israelhamaswar #israel #hamas


So, take all I write here with a pinch of salt. What do I know? But like the rest of you.. I have thoughts #politics

Put aside the morality of whether a given country, under hostile assault, deserves to be protected. Put aside whether commitments to do so were made. Before either becomes relevant are the questions *can* they be protected and *can* those who made commitments fulfil them

Obama was the last true president of the United States. The presidency stopped being a legitimate position after Trump interfered to win his first election, and Americans did nothing about it.

America itself has been collapsing since 9/11. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda won the War on Terror.
