Noise protest greets Netanyahu's White House visit.

On July 7th, the Butcher of Tel Aviv, Benjamin Netanyahu, visited Washington DC. He was there to meet with Donald Trump, who fancies himself King of Turtle Island.

Outside, protesters brought the noise and street theater, complete with "Netanyahu: in mid-20th Century prison stripes and chains.

Note that there are valid arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court out for Netanyahu.

El Estado Islรกmico multiplica su actividad en Siria y un atentado contra cristianos pone en entredicho la transiciรณn


Mientras el Estado Islรกmico aumentรณ mรกs del doble sus ataques en mayo respecto al mes anterior, otro grupo radical sunรญ ha reivindicado este mes el รบltimo y mayor atentado suicida contra cristianos desde el fin del rรฉgimen de Al Asad ยฟQuรฉ esperar de los islamistas de Hayat Tahrir al Sham en la nueva Siria?

Despuรฉs del colapso del rรฉgimen de Bashar Al Asad en diciembre de 2024, se vaticinรณ que el Estado Islรกmico (EI) podrรญa renacer de sus cenizas en medio del vacรญo de poder en Siria โ€“donde el grupo controlรณ amplios territorios durante varios aรฑosโ€“. Aunque las nuevas autoridades han querido mandar un mensaje de tranquilidad al mundo โ€”y en concreto a Occidenteโ€” sobre la presencia y actividad de grupos radicales en suelo sirio, el EI ha incrementado notablemente sus ataques y otros grupos terroristas estรกn muy activos en el paรญs.

El pasado mes de mayo, cuando el presidente Donald Trump se reuniรณ por sorpresa con su homรณlogo sirio, Ahmad al Sharaa, en Arabia Saudรญ, le pidiรณ precisamente expulsar a todos los โ€œterroristas extranjerosโ€ de Siria y ayudar a Estados Unidos a evitar que el Estado Islรกmico resurja en el paรญs รกrabe, segรบn informรณ la Casa Blanca en ese momento. Esta semana, el presidente de EEUU ha firmado una orden ejecutiva levantando las sanciones al paรญs.

No sรณlo el llamado Daesh representa una preocupaciรณn, sino otros combatientes radicales que durante aรฑos lucharon en Siria contra el rรฉgimen, incluso en las filas del grupo islamista que lideraba Al Sharaa, Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS). Muchos de los milicianos de HTS han sido integrados en las nuevas fuerzas de seguridad sirias despuรฉs de que la agrupaciรณn armada liderara la toma de Damasco el pasado diciembre, pero varios meses despuรฉs sigue siendo un reto para el nuevo Gobierno la presencia de miles de combatientes extranjeros radicales que fueron a Siria para luchar contra Al Asad โ€“en los pasados mรกs de diez aรฑos, esos hombres se han casado, han tenido hijos y se han afincado en el paรญsโ€“.

Aumento de los ataques terroristas


El 22 de junio se produjo el mayor atentado suicida desde la caรญda del rรฉgimen hasta la fecha. Un atacante accediรณ a la iglesia de Mar Elรญas en Damasco y abriรณ fuego contra los feligreses; posteriormente hizo detonar su chaleco explosivo, matando a 25 personas e hiriendo a otras 63, de acuerdo con el recuento oficial. Las autoridades sirias responsabilizaron al grupo yihadista Estado Islรกmico (EI), aunque otra agrupaciรณn radical de reciente creaciรณn fue la que asumiรณ la autorรญa del atentado: Saraya Ansar al Suna.

El Ministerio del Interior sirio anunciรณ pocos dรญas despuรฉs que todos los miembros de la cรฉlula que planificรณ el ataque fueron arrestados y que tambiรฉn se incautaron armas y explosivos. Segรบn la versiรณn del Ministerio de Interior, la cรฉlula estaba liderada por un ciudadano sirio, quien facilitรณ la llegada del atacante suicida (de nacionalidad no siria) a Damasco desde el infame campamento de Al Hol, que alberga a miles de familiares de miembros del Estado Islรกmico en el noreste del paรญs.

La organizaciรณn ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data), que recoge y analiza datos de los conflictos en todo el mundo, ha contabilizado al menos 13 ataques contra ciudadanos cristianos y sus propiedades. Los ataques han sido perpetrados por varios actores, incluidas las nuevas autoridades sirias.

Por otra parte, ACLED ha registrado unos 50 ataques del Estado Islรกmico entre el 1 de mayo y el 23 de junio de 2025. En el mes de mayo, aumentaron mรกs del doble respecto a abril, llegando casi a 40, la cifra mensual mรกs alta desde la caรญda del rรฉgimen de Al Asad cinco meses antes. Ademรกs, el EI asumiรณ en mayo sus primeros ataques contra las nuevas autoridades.

El investigador jefe para Oriente Medio de ACLED, Muaz Al Abdullah, destaca que hay โ€œun riesgo continuado de violencia sectaria en la transiciรณn siria, que se extiende mรกs allรก de la comunidad cristianaโ€. La comunidad alauรญ (una rama del islam a la que pertenecรญa Al Asad) ha sido la mรกs golpeada con diferencia desde la caรญda del rรฉgimen.

Respecto al ataque contra la iglesia de Mar Elรญas, reivindicado por Saraya Ansar al Sunna, Al Abdullah cree que โ€œsi bien iba dirigido contra un grupo especรญfico de la sociedad siria y una religiรณn en particular, tuvo como blanco al mismo tiempo el nuevo Gobierno sirio. El experto explica a elDiario.es que el objetivo es el de โ€socavar los esfuerzos para construir un nuevo Estado tras la caรญda del rรฉgimen de Al Asad y presentar al nuevo Gobierno como una entidad frรกgil y dรฉbil, incapaz de lograr la estabilidad civil y social. Por lo tanto, su objetivo principal es el Estado sirio emergenteโ€œ.

Al Abdullah destaca que, ademรกs, el ataque pone el foco en โ€œun tema de especial importancia en Occidente: la cuestiรณn de las minorรญasโ€. Precisamente, Saraya Ansar al Sunna ha declarado que sus principales objetivos en Siria son las minorรญas. El experto agrega que esa agrupaciรณn sunรญ radical no ha declarado abiertamente su lealtad al Estado Islรกmico, pero no se puede descartar una conexiรณn entre ambos grupos. โ€œHemos visto escenarios similares con organizaciones que operaban principalmente bajo el Estado Islรกmico sin [haber declarado] una lealtad explรญcitaโ€ a este grupo.

Los รบltimos movimientos del EI, con el aumento de sus acciones en Siria desde mayo, โ€œreflejan una respuesta adaptativa frente a una vigilancia mรกs estricta y a la mayor presiรณn de las fuerzas sirias e internacionalesโ€, dice Al Abdullah en referencia tanto a las autoridades sirias como a los kurdosirios, que luchan contra el EI con el apoyo de EEUU. El analista afirma que el grupo sigue siendo mucho mรกs dรฉbil que durante su auge entre 2014 y 2017, cuando estableciรณ su califato en Siria y en Irak, pero no hay que olvidar โ€œsu constante ambiciรณn de recuperar su relevancia y perturbar la frรกgil transiciรณn polรญtica [ante] los riesgos que enfrenta el orden polรญtico emergente de Siriaโ€.

Combatientes yihadistas extranjeros


Ese orden polรญtico tambiรฉn estรก amenazado por la presencia de otros actores armados. Un reciente informe del centro de anรกlisis e investigaciรณn Soufan (con sede en EEUU) sobre los combatientes extranjeros en Siria advierte de que los desarrollos de la transiciรณn en el paรญs รกrabe tendrรกn implicaciones a largo plazo, no sรณlo a nivel local, sino para โ€œel panorama de la amenaza terrorista en generalโ€.

Los combatientes extranjeros (entre los que hay uigures, albaneses, uzbekos, tayikos, rusos, turcos, etc.) adquirieron una gran experiencia en la guerra civil Siria y enseรฑaron a sus compaรฑeros locales a luchar frente a las fuerzas del rรฉgimen, explica el informe. Ahora pueden ser fundamentales en la formaciรณn del nuevo Ejรฉrcito sirio, pero tambiรฉn โ€œdeben ser vigiladosโ€ porque podrรญan tener โ€œobjetivos futuros fuera de Siriaโ€, alerta el centro Soufan.

Esos grupos de combate โ€“de los que el informe excluye el Estado Islรกmico y Al Qaedaโ€“ โ€œno sรณlo estรกn altamente entrenados, sino que tambiรฉn estรกn fuertemente motivados ideolรณgica y religiosamenteโ€. Ademรกs de cooperar entre sรญ, tambiรฉn han colaborado estrechamente con HTS y otros grupos sirios, y participaron directamente en la ofensiva que los rebeldes lanzaron en noviembre del aรฑo pasado en el noroeste de Siria y que acabรณ derrocando al rรฉgimen en Damasco.

โ€œMuchos de los combatientes extranjeros en las filas de HTS llevan muchos aรฑos en Siria; algunos se han casado con mujeres sirias y han tenido hijos durante su estancia en el paรญs. Si estas personas no se incorporan a las fuerzas armadas sirias, podrรญan unirse a Al Qaeda o al Estado Islรกmicoโ€, seรฑala el informe. โ€œTambiรฉn existe la posibilidad muy real de que, si son abandonados, esos combatientes extranjeros podrรญan volverse contra el propio Gobierno interino sirio, desestabilizando al paรญs en un momento crucialโ€.

โ€œPara los grupos yihadistas y sus aliados extranjeros, el teatro de operaciones sirio ha sido un escenario donde entrenarse y adquirir experiencia, un paso crucial para expandir la lucha yihadista a otros teatros de operacionesโ€, destaca el centro Soufan. Ahora que la guerra en Siria ha terminado โ€“aunque el informe recoge que los grupos siguen publicando fotos y vรญdeos de su entrenamiento militar en el paรญsโ€“, el objetivo que tienen es el de โ€œregresar a sus paรญses de origen y luchar para liberar sus tierras de aquellos a quienes consideran opresoresโ€, al igual que antes lucharon contra Al Asad.

Recientemente, EEUU dio luz verde a la integraciรณn de algunos combatientes extranjeros en el Ejรฉrcito sirio, en una divisiรณn creada especรญficamente para ellos, junto a soldados sirios, despuรฉs de que Trump pidiera a Al Sharaa su expulsiรณn del paรญs. La expulsiรณn de miles de combatientes, yihadistas en su mayorรญa, no es factible para el Gobierno sirio y generarรญa inestabilidad tanto en Oriente Medio como en sus paรญses de origen.

EEUU y las Fuerzas de Siria Democrรกtica


Washington ha desempeรฑado un papel destacado en la lucha contra el EI en Siria desde hace una dรฉcada y ha contado con un aliado sobre el terreno: las milicias mayoritariamente kurdas llamadas Fuerzas Democrรกticas de Siria (FSD). Las FSD operan en el noreste del paรญs, donde los kurdosirios establecieron su autogobierno durante la guerra civil. Desde la caรญda del rรฉgimen siguen actuando contra el EI y gestionando los centros de dentenciรณn de excombatientes y sus familiares, como el campamento de Al Hol.

Las tropas de EEUU desplegadas en el noreste de Siria han empezado a retirarse desde que Trump volviรณ a la Casa Blanca el pasado enero. La Administraciรณn de Trump dijo en junio que reducirรญa su presencia militar de ocho a una sola base en Siria (todas ellas en la regiรณn controlada por las FSD).

El comandante de las FSD, Mazloum Abdi, declarรณ a la agencia de noticias Reuters que โ€œla amenaza del Estado Islรกmico ha aumentado significativamente recientementeโ€ y que unos pocos centenares de soldados estadounidenses no van a ser suficientes para hacer frente a dicha amenaza. โ€œEste es el plan del Ejรฉrcito estadounidense. Lo sabemos desde hace mucho tiempo... y estamos trabajando con ellos para asegurarnos de que no haya brechas [de seguridad] y de que podemos mantener la presiรณn sobre el Estado Islรกmicoโ€, afirmรณ.

Abdi asegurรณ que cรฉlulas del EI se han reactivado en varias ciudades sirias, incluida Damasco, y que un grupo de yihadistas extranjeros que en su dรญa combatieron al rรฉgimen sirio se han unido a sus filas. Tambiรฉn seรฑalรณ que en medio del caos tras la caรญda del rรฉgimen los extremistas se hicieron con armas y municiones de las fuerzas armadas de Al Asad.

El analista Muaz Al Abdullah asegura que hay โ€œmuchas cรฉlulas durmientesโ€ del EI en Siria que pueden actuar en distintos puntos del paรญs, pero el grupo โ€œactualmente no puede lanzar una gran campaรฑa de reclutamiento ni atraer nuevos combatientes a sus filasโ€.

The experience of intense solitude is also the healing of solitude.

In Field Tests In Mining Areas, How Effective Are Mobile Stone Crusher Technologies?



As mining operations evolve, so too does the need for more agile, efficient, and sustainable solutions for on-site aggregate processing. The introduction of mobile crushing units has been a game changer for many mining operations around the world. In particular, mobile stone crusher plant technologies have demonstrated strong potential in reducing logistical burdens, lowering operational costs, and improving adaptability in the field. But how effective are these machines in real-world mining scenarios? This article explores the performance of mobile crushers through the lens of field tests and site reports.

Advantages Of Mobile Stone Crusher Plants In Mining Areas


Field tests in various mining regionsโ€”from hard rock quarries to alluvial stone sitesโ€”consistently show that mobile stone crusher plants(planta de trituracion movil) outperform stationary units in terms of flexibility and efficiency. Their ability to relocate and operate directly at the mining site eliminates the need for hauling raw materials long distances to fixed crushers, thereby cutting fuel costs and labor time.

These mobile units are particularly effective in remote mining areas where infrastructure is limited. By reducing the dependency on external transport and batching facilities, operators can streamline workflow and improve productivity even in the most challenging conditions.

Crushing Different Materials: From Hard Rock To River Pebbles

Performance As A Gravel Crusher


One of the most common tasks in mining operations is the production of high-quality gravel for construction and road building. In field tests, mobile crushers equipped with jaw and cone modules consistently perform well as gravel crushers(trituradora de piedra para grava), processing materials such as granite, basalt, and limestone with high efficiency.

Thanks to their adjustable crushing ratios and real-time control systems, these units produce uniform grain sizes that meet strict grading requirements. This precision makes them ideal not only for large-scale road base production but also for concrete-grade aggregates.

Effectiveness As A Pebble Crusher


In some mining environmentsโ€”especially in riverbed or coastal areasโ€”the primary material is not rock but river stones or pebbles. Here, the machineโ€™s ability to serve as a pebble crusher becomes crucial. Tests show that mobile impact or cone crushers with fine chamber designs can crush pebbles into usable aggregate sizes without generating excessive fines or dust.

This application is particularly important in mining areas where natural pebbles are abundant and need to be repurposed for infrastructure development or concrete batching. A well-configured mobile plant can handle these tasks without the need for additional secondary crushers.

Real-World Efficiency And Energy Savings


One of the most praised features of the mobile stone crusher plant is its energy efficiency during field operations. Field studies indicate a reduction of up to 30% in fuel consumption when compared to traditional hauling and fixed crushing models. This is largely due to the elimination of intermediate material handling and the integration of multiple crushing stages within one mobile unit.

Additionally, mobile systems equipped with hybrid or electric drives contribute to lower carbon emissions, a factor increasingly important in environmentally regulated mining zones.

Operator Feedback From Field Tests


Operators and site managers across various regions report that mobile crusher technologies significantly reduce downtime and simplify maintenance. Because the systems are designed with modular components, replacing wear parts or reconfiguring the setup for different material types can be done more quickly than with stationary systems.

Another critical advantage noted in field tests is automation. Advanced mobile plants come with intelligent control systems and remote monitoring, allowing operators to make real-time adjustments to crusher settings. This ensures consistent output quality and helps detect equipment stress before breakdowns occur.

Challenges And Considerations


While mobile crushers offer significant benefits, field testing has also revealed some challenges. For example, in areas with uneven terrain or extremely hard stone types, mobility and wear rates can become issues. Proper ground preparation and regular maintenance are essential to ensure long-term performance.

Furthermore, operators must be trained to manage the more sophisticated control systems often found in modern mobile plants. However, with short learning curves and built-in user interfaces, most teams adapt quickly.

Conclusion


Field tests confirm that mobile stone crusher plant technologies offer highly effective solutions for on-site aggregate production in mining areas. Whether functioning as a gravel crusher or a pebble crusher(trituradora de piedra de rรญo), these machines deliver consistent results in terms of output quality, energy savings, and operational flexibility.

Their performance in real-world mining environments has solidified their role as an essential part of modern quarry and aggregate workflows. As the industry continues to prioritize sustainability and efficiency, mobile crushers are set to become the preferred choice for mining operators around the globe.

Do any #Linux/#KDE users have an idea why an app, on a #KDEPlasma desktop, might start fine on the terminal, and application launcher, but not on #KRunner?

This has been happening for a long time now for me with #virt-manager - tho that wasn't the case in the past for just as long. That being said, IIRC it's happened with the application launcher too, tho that works for me atm, but KRunner almost always fails to launch it - only the app icon appears to be loading on the dock/panel, then it disappears.

When it does happen, journalctl would report this error:

We Are All Palestine Action: NY War Crimes


โ€œIf we defeat the governmentโ€™s attempts to destroy our organization, victory in our fight against Elbit is near,โ€ a spokesperson for Palestine Action told us this week. โ€œIf they do proscribe us, then let a thousand Palestine Actions bloom.โ€

Writers Against the War on Gaza
July 2, 2025

On Friday, June 20, two members of Palestine Action rode into the UKโ€™s largest military base on e-scooters, carrying a Palestinian flag and fire extinguishers filled with red paint. After spray-painting two military airplanes, effectively (if temporarily) grounding them both, the actionists escaped. This bold direct action forced the media to cover what it had long ignored: the participation of the Royal Air Force in the war on Gaza. On Wednesday, July 2, a humiliated and reactionary British parliament voted to proscribe Palestine Action as a โ€œterroristโ€ organization, threatening members and supporters with up to 14 years of prison.

The same moribund empire that first authorized the Zionist project in 1917 continues to abet mass death and displacement in Palestine. The UKโ€™s F-35 jet fighter program supplies 15% of the components making up Israelโ€™s warplanes โ€” including ejector seats, rear fuselage, active interceptor systems, targeting lasers, and weapon release cables. Its bases in Cyprus are likely waypoints for the transfer of arms to the genocidal state, and the R.A.F. itself flies planes over Gaza to provide the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) with intelligence.

In the five years since its founding, and particularly over the past 20 months, Palestine Action has put the death-dealers on notice like no other political organization in the U.K. or the U.S. By strategically and systematically targeting Elbit Systems, Israelโ€™s largest arms company, they have already brought about the closure of several Elbit factories; forced dozens of companies and contractors to cut ties with Elbit; and helped bring about a โ€œdebanking crisisโ€ for the entire so-called defense industry.

Proscription would endanger the whole of the Palestine solidarity movement, criminalizing word and deed alike. It would punish not only members but supporters of Palestine Action: To publicly praise their brave acts would be to risk a 14-year prison sentence. We call on our British readers to take this risk. The label of โ€œterroristโ€ has long been wielded by Western powers to brand their sins onto all those who challenge their impunity. In this way, it is an honor.

But the epithet is also a threat. It is through this designation that the West has justified the imprisonment and slaughter of journalists, activists, poets, musicians and cultural workers throughout the history of our movements. We must remind ourselves and the world that terrorism is the true legacy of Western imperialism and colonization, and resistance is the real counter-terrorism.

Palestine Action has offered us a template for resistance in the imperial core, for an insurgency that strikes unflinchingly at the supply chain of death. Proscription may force the organization to formally disband, but it cannot stop the action happening everywhere, every day, in the name of Palestine.

The entire movement must defy the draconian criminalization of resistance, which haunts us with the specter of incarceration. We cannot allow fear to distance us from our conscience or our will. Thousands of political prisoners โ€” many who are Palestinian, others who have been radicalized by Palestine โ€” have already shown us that while the cost of resistance can be high, it can never outweigh the power of a united front. The effectiveness and popularity of anticolonial resistance is why organizations like Samidoun and Palestine Action have been targeted by fascist governments and other counterinsurgent forces attempting to divide the movement with fearmongering and hysterical finger-pointing. As Samidoun wrote in their July 2, 2025 statement of solidarity with Palestine Action, โ€œThe British colonial mandate was the first to introduce โ€˜administrative detentionโ€™ โ€” imprisonment without charge or trial โ€” to occupied Palestine, a policy enthusiastically adopted by their Zionist colonial successors.โ€

Almost two years into this genocide, the Zionist and Western powers have sent clear signals to the world that their final solution is the extermination of the Palestinian people in Gaza and beyond. Day after day, we see images too horrific to comprehend and hear the unforgettable screams of children. But as Israelโ€™s attacks intensify, so does our conviction. Popular support for the Palestinian cause continues to build, both despite and because of escalating fascist repression. Hundreds of people have joined Palestine Action in the past 10 days. โ€œIf we defeat the governmentโ€™s attempts to destroy our organization, victory in our fight against Elbit is near,โ€ the groupโ€™s spokesperson, Max Geller, told us this week. โ€œIf they do proscribe us, then let a thousand Palestine Actions bloom.โ€

There have been significant attempts to isolate Palestine Action by liberal forces within the movement. We maintain that โ€” as with resistance in occupied Palestine โ€” there must be a visible, aboveground movement that serves as a popular cradle for underground militancy. WAWOG will always stand with militants in the imperial core. We call on all people of conscience to do the same.

Death, death to the IOF.

Free Palestine.

A version of this statement appears in the eighteenth issue of The New York War Crimes, out July 4, 2025.

This proposal from @leaverou looks really interesting ๐Ÿ‘€

Now that we have `:has()` it should be possible to create `inverted` combinators.

A new parent combinator `B < A` could be syntactic sugar for `A:has(> B)`. Similarly we could add previous sibling and ancestor combinators.

The symmetry could make it easier for students to learn, and it could improve readability.

Child selector: `A > B`
Parent selector: `B < A`

What do you think?

Una idea para construir un mundo un poco mejor. Cuando encontrรฉis un contenido que os indigne profundamente evitad compartirlo. Si necesitรกis responder podรฉis hacerlo sin difundir el contenido.

Por ejemplo con lo de que nos sobran bosques. Es algo que intentan instalar en el imaginario colectivo, no sรฉ muy bien quiรฉn, no sรฉ muy bien con quรฉ interรฉs.

Es evidente que no tenemos tantos bosques y que no sobran. Pero si desde la indignaciรณn compartimos el argumentario del que dice que sobran lo instalamos en el imaginario colectivo. El personal tiene argumentos para argumentar en ese sentido y acabamos pensando que sobran bosques.

La alternativa es explicar quรฉ es un bosque, por quรฉ necesitamos mรกs y mejores bosques. A ser posible obviando el argumentario contrario que, quien mรกs quien menos ya conoce y ha tropezado con รฉl.

Quizรก no es el mejor ejemplo, pero es lo que intentรฉ hacer en su dรญa con esta entrada en mi blog: productordesostenibilidad.es/2โ€ฆ

An attack on a #DeutscheWelle news crew in the #WestBank by zionazi settlers.

Members of a Deutsche Welle television crew in the West Bank were attacked by fascist settlers, according to a statement from German service. To guarantee the safety of the media personnel, the #German government pleaded the #Zionists at the same time as it attacks and arrests every German citizen who opposes the #Genocide

"... our leaders and all businesses and organisations need to stop fearing the Israel lobby and being intimidated by it. ... Jews not in the Israel lobby camp say enough is enough and Australia should act decisively and loudly in not giving Israel a leave-pass ..."

This horrendous thought @tsyum is talking about here is in fact for many MAGA voters the explicit goal of all this immigration cruelty, except for the job market instead of used cars:

โ€œfewer immigrants โ†’ smaller labor supply โ†’ $$$ for me yayโ€

in reply to Paul Cantrell

But thatโ€™s not the endpoint. Oh no.

In a move alarmingly close to outright chattel slavery, there is talk of ICE capturing immigrants and then โ€ขselling them back to their former employersโ€ข, presumably under much-worsened employment conditions.

Hereโ€™s the thing: these two goals are in โ€ขdirect contradictionโ€ข.

A bunch of ICE cheerleaders want inhumane treatment of immigrants in order to shrink โ€” and thus strengthen โ€” the remaining (white) labor pool.

A bunch of other ICE cheerleaders want inhumane treatment of immigrants in order to โ€ขweakenโ€ข the labor pool.

They canโ€™t both get their way.

People are still not paying nearly enough attention to what @pluralistic wrote here:

pluralistic.net/2024/07/14/fraโ€ฆ

โ€œThe American right is a brittle coalition.โ€

The topic above is a prime example. There are two MAGA constituencies here โ€” employers and workers โ€” who think theyโ€™re about to get exactly opposite things. Both are going along with the ICE program because they think theyโ€™re the ones who will really get what they want in the end. At least one of them is going to get screwed over.

in reply to Paul Cantrell

You think ICE is going to โ€œbring the jobs back?โ€ Bullshit. Theyโ€™re gearing up to sell imprisoned immigrants back to employers as slave prisoners who work for free. You think your wages are going up? Youโ€™re a sucker. Your wages are going down.

You think ICE is going to sell you imprisoned immigrants as cheap labor? Bullshit. Theyโ€™re too beholden to the radical white supremacist extremists. Those people will โ€ขneverโ€ข let those immigrants stay in the country. ICE is going to steal your labor force and you wonโ€™t get them back.

I fear some of them may have a plan for managing that contradiction; that white labor pool only needs fooled for a few months. Theyโ€™re buying a bit of consent now to bridge them into the next crunch.

Concentration camps stateside to lease convict labor, concentration camps abroad to traffic people permanently - why both? The white nationalist project. Impoverish & criminalize en masse, exile non-whites to a new worst outcome, remake a frightened, paler, part-convict labor pool.

@cwicseolfor
I meanโ€ฆmaybe? It takes an extraordinary amount of squinting to imagine all of that working out.

Thereโ€™s an almost compulsive urge on the part of the Thoughtful Left in these situations to figure how to resolve the contradiction, how to square the circle, how to say that these people really are all the same โ€” and thatโ€™s just doing the rightโ€™s work for them! Weโ€™ve got to stop that!

Focus on what you said on your subsequent post: the cracks are there, the window of opportunity is short, theyโ€™re feeding the base a fantasy, and we need to FUD that fantasy to death.

in reply to cwicseolfor

This is still a strategic opportunity to break the coalition because itโ€™s showing that they absolutely will cannibalize each other the moment they see a chance. The cracks are there. But the window of opportunity feels very short; theyโ€™re still feeding a racist base the comforting fantasy that theyโ€™d only treat Other People that way, and that base has hardly ever caught on before, because even as their material conditions worsened, things were usually worse for minorities *faster.*

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world.

โ€˜Tipping pointsโ€™ experts issue urgent message to world leaders.

โ€œEvery fraction of a degree above 1.5ยฐC matters. And every year of โ€œovershootโ€ matters too.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s ultimately a matter of survival.โ€

#Israel / The state has informed the Supreme Court that it will continue to ban foreign and Israeli journalists from entering Gaza to report freely on the situation

This ban has been in place since October 2023, with multiple legal challenges filed by the Foreign Press Association (#FPA). While some limited access with military escort has been granted, Israel maintains that free movement for journalists poses unacceptable security risks.

The FPA has stated journalists will bear responsibility for any harm they face in Gaza, but Israel disputes this, fearing potential legal challenges and risks to operational security.

A court hearing on the FPA's petition is now scheduled for October 23rd, over a year after the initial request.

[...] The FPA's petition, filed approximately ten months ago, was originally scheduled for a hearing last April. However, the hearing was postponed due to "court calendar constraints." Subsequent hearings planned for May and June were also canceled, in part due to Israel's attack on #Iran.

Analysis: "Tony Blair Institute linked to Gaza plan condemned as ethnic cleansing".

"Documents show TBI staff were involved in discussions on a Gaza plan condemned for promoting ethnic cleansing."

"A British charity associated with former prime minister Tony Blair displays a map on its website including the occupied Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of Israel."
