Someone commenting on today's lies from the trump regime. Saying: "these politicians are thinking people won't notice" (on whatever it is they are lying about today).
Can we just -skip- calling them "politicians"? Especially when it pertains to concentration camps? I hate to say it, but the word "politician" is way too good for what these fascists really are.
Can people just get used to calling them fascists, pathological liars, or criminals occupying government positions?
Yeah, I get that, but there are some sick losers out there who think what they are doing is cool**.
I call them total losers, failed adults, POS, etc…. To call them sadists, while true…seems like it might give the fools who think they are cool for being abusive losers... too much power. YMMV
They are the weakest fools out there.
** Not to knock on anyone's kink: CONSENSUAL kink: bdsm, power games, etc w/safe words and enthusiastic consent is -entirely- different.
The difference between a sadist and a BDSm enthusiast is that one doesn't have boundaries and will abuse others, while another just enjoys the play and will stop if things get uncomfortable.
@trabex right: ...you and I might get there is a difference, but there's often not one to the screwed up losers who sign up to be goons.
I worked with offenders on probation for a long time. They -usually- took it as a badge of honor if you said they were in a gang, imagining people feared them as a bad ass.
Whenever possible we'd reframe it and say they were involved in social groups of losers. Sabotage their already fragile egos -whenever possible- for that life and those behaviors.
Στη φράση του Μητσοτάκη "στηρίζουμε το λιμενικό, δεν υπονομεύουμε τους ένστολους μας" υπάρχει η ξεκάθαρη κυβερνητική εντολή "πνίξτε τους " προς τους δολοφόνους της Πύλου
Updates on the Prison Situation of the Anarchist Alfredo Cospito
THE TOTAL BLOCKADE OF CORRESPONDENCE TO THE ANARCHIST COMRADE ALFREDO COSPITO PERSISTS
Update at the beginning of July 2025. In these days there is again news regarding the particularly afflictive situation that the management of the Bancali prison, probably in concert with the Ministry of Justice, is imposing on our anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, in particular with regard to correspondence.
We remind you that the censorship of incoming and outgoing mail is a constituent element of the 41 bis regime to which the comrade is subjected. For a long time Alfredo has not received letters, postcards, telegrams and communications of any kind. This despite the fact that many of us are continuing to write to him, even with collective correspondence initiatives such as the one that took place in Foligno on May 31st. In addition, the prison management has long since stopped communicating to the prisoner the notification of censorship, a document against which to appeal to receive the correspondence material seized. The mail simply disappears into thin air.
This behavior is added to a long series of persecutory provisions, aimed at the psychological and political destruction of the comrade: from the denial of access to books already ordered and authorized, to CDs or headphones to listen to music, to the reporting to the bar association for his defenders guilty of having shaken his hand and given him a kiss at the time of the interview – that is, guilty of treating him as a human being.
All this in an already enormously afflictive context such as that of 41 bis which provides for two hours of air a day in groups of up to four people decided by the ministry, one hour of interview per month with a family member separated by glass or alternatively ten minutes of phone call during which the authorized family member must go inside a barracks to call. As well as, as already mentioned, the censorship of correspondence and the impossibility of reading books that concern topics considered sensitive (and the great difficulties in finding any book in general).
We firmly denounce that this persecution is evidently a state revenge for the intransigence and determination with which the 2022-23 hunger strike and the international solidarity mobilization were conducted, putting the spotlight on that gray area that is 41 bis with unprecedented intensity, going to undermine that false celestial aura that surrounds the anti-mafia-anti-terrorism structure.
A persecution that also occurs the day after the sentencing of Undersecretary Delmastro to 8 months for disclosures of official acts, which arose precisely in the scoundrel attempt to smear Alfredo Cospito during the hunger strike.
The misery of these characters in the face of the coherence of an anarchist who has never bowed his head jumps to the eye. On the one hand, those who kneecap a nuclear sorcerer, on the other those who on New Year’s Eve high on cocaine in a moment of rare coherence shoot themselves in the legs.
In the climate of world war that we breathe these days, we reiterate that these episodes must be read as real war policies towards the internal enemy. Great are the challenges that engage revolutionaries in a historical period of this type, but all the more reason we cannot and do not want to leave anyone behind. For whoever forgets the prisoners of the revolutionary struggle forgets the revolutionary struggle itself.
In view of the possible renewal of 41 bis for Alfredo Cospito in May next year, let’s ensure that this too returns to being a battlefield full of contradictions for the State.

@DBG3D also how do you imagine people like Lenin were able to do their work, you think they just did it part time while working full time job to make sure they don't starve?
They also relied on support to keep them going and allow them to focus on revolutionary work full time.
Is the incongruency of follow the same capitalist system that he is denouncing and from a media platform that settles even more that same capitalist system. 🤷🏽♂️
@DBG3D capitalism is when you're exploiting other people's labour as a business owner to produce capital for yourself. Using your own labour to earn a living is not capitalism.
You cannot magically extract yourself from capitalism. Its hegemony means you can't just get away from everything and still survive. You still need to pay rent, so you still need to earn money, so you still need to ask for it on platforms that maximize the chances of earning it. There's no magical solution. @yogthos
@rakoo I dont agree. He could use non manipulated social networks. The algorithm in Tik Tok will put his content at the bottom. And if the buyout of TikTok happens, maybe he could not even post content like that ever.
He needs to earn money. Try earning money on capitalist networks, and then on non-capitalist networks. I'd love it if the second worked, but it isn't true yet @yogthos
@DBG3D have you actually used the platform yourself? Because having used TikTok extensively, I can definitively tell you that's not the case. In fact, TikTok is basically the main reason people in the west even know that there's a genocide in Gaza happening. It's pretty much the only mainstream platform that doesn't censor communists, and it's been a crucial education tool.
It really helps to learn about things before you form opinions.
Yes I used it for a brief period. And definetly didn't liked the content that was suggested to me. And the huge quantity of time you can loose using it, if you are not careful. So I deleted it.
@DBG3D it takes a bit of time to train it on the content you like, but I've seen plenty of very useful content on there that I rarely see anywhere else.
And any social media platform can be a time waster if you're not careful. There's nothing specific about TikTok here.
You're just moving goal posts now because your original claim was that it's somehow a right wing platform like X which is a nonsensical claim.
Problematic TikTok Use (PTU) is a psychological condition marked by compulsive and excessive engagement with the app, often characterized by prolonged scrolling, content interaction, and seeking user feedback. This qualitative study, conducted from .
@DBG3D again, absolutely nothing new here, and you keep moving your goalposts. Your original complaint was that somebody was asking for donations to continue doing their work. Then you started complaining they do it on a platform you don't like that you slandered as being right wing. Now you're complaining it's doing what every other social media platform does.
@DBG3D @rakoo TikTok as been one of the most successful platforms for the left in a while. Also, the whole buyout thing will never happen. There's no chance in hell that China would allow that.
a. Ancient democracy was dictatorship of thetes (the ancient name of proletarians). Thetes class was the far majority, 50-60% of the citizens, the whole state was paid lowest wages, so, the state positions was filled by thetes. You had gov of thetes and state of thetes 😛
b. Since the majority its no rule in the modern democracies, then are not democracies de facto. All from 18th century until now are agree it is oligarchy of the wealthy (i..e. plutocracy).
Sad to report the passing of Steve Benson, a dear friend of over 40 years. Great, Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist and an even greater, courageous human being.
I admired Steve most for his bravery in the face of personal retribution. His family was royalty in the Mormon Church. His grandfather was Ezra Benson, pres. of the church and served as Ag. Sec. in the Eisenhower admin. After years of being out in the real world, working at the Arizona Republic, Steve came to the realization that the church was a cult and voiced that publicly. He always stood on principle for what was right, no matter what.
You can imagine the pressure of the Mormon Church and his entire family coming down on him with their retribution. The courage it took to stand up to that incessant onslaught was superhuman.
I've been forcing myself to get out and do things but I'm not sure it's the best idea.
I went to get the car washed the other day and I wanted to jump out of the car and hug and apologize to the poor woman working there. To work a survival job like that on her feet all day **and** have to fear being hauled off for no good reason other than the color of her skin?

In Sweden, as of 2025, 63.1% of all rape and attempted rape convictions are linked to individuals with a migrant background — first or second generation.
And it gets worse.
As Ellie Hodges exposed: Afghan Muslims commit rape at 69 times the rate of native Swedes. Algerians? 122 times more.
Let that sink in.
Is this the “diversity” you were promised?
Or is it the destruction of Western safety, culture, and truth?

I hate to ask again, but my friend's wife needs lots of health karma. She's looking at 5 months of chemo, and a mastectomy, and probably radiation treatment. The cancer spread to her lymph nodes, and was only derected by the PET scan as the nodes hadn't changed in size yet.
it's really survivable. At least the fucking pandemic is over and she'll be able to have your friend there during the chemo and after surgeries and stuff.
Maybe take your friend aside and mention that they sometimes want to clean out downstairs, too, just in case, especially if there's lymph involvement.

robot vacuums are great until you have to use them and they run over something and get caught in it for the billionth time. feels faster and less aggravating to run the vacuum a few times a week. which if you think about it is a great analogy for working with AI.
That's an apt comparison because my experience with a robot vac was a lot like AI. It fumbled around terribly and I spent more time "training" it than it would have taken me to just do it myself.
And neither one can count the letter "s" in "Mississippi" correctly.
I still love our RoboRock for day to day runs. It lets us go longer in between pulling out the full vacuum ;) Between us, the dog, and having hardwood floors it can gritty pretty quick.
It is another bubble to be burst when all the money sunk will show minimal return. Kind of like all the home agents like Alexa were supposed to drive sales but all they do is turn the lights on and off.
i love the "left behind" part of this, like if I decide to use AI someday I'll be hopelessly at sea because I haven't been training myself to use this tool that has "you don't need to learn anything to use it" as its primary selling point

5 ans de prison et 75.000€ d’amende pour un propos «antirépublicain»: Philippot met en garde contre la loi #1535. «Vous mettez cette loi dans la main d'un juge militant ou zélé et il pourra vous faire condamner n'importe quel opposant au gouvernement» Déposée le 10 juin, la loi «vise à ériger en infraction la production, la diffusion et l’apologie de propos ou contenus contestant les principes républicains fondamentaux» En omettant soigneusement de préciser ce qu’est un «propos antirépublicain».

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins says the federal government will keep deporting farm workers, and staff farms with "100% American participation."What you need ...
US Politics, Medicaid work requirements, farm work
Sensitive content
Oh lordy. I never worked crop farming but as a teenager cleaned stalls for $5/hour (back in the 90s that was good money). Add to that that many of us on medicaid are disabled. And it is hard, backbreaking, body wearing work to pick crops or do any sort of farm work. Clearly they have no clue about the physicality of the job and what's involved.
I tried to find self-employment info for the work requirements. Not available.
Here locally a farm will pay $10 per hour and deduct your "housing costs" from your check and have you live on site for their benefit. It's such a scam. Farmers won't like it but they need paid better and their laborers need paid much better.
"Rollins hasn't the foggiest clue what she's on about."
I honestly don't think that's a critical qualification with these people... knowing too much is probably a liability in their clique. Being uninformed is practically an emphasized skill set in their CVs.
I just have this vision of her and other politicians working for just 1 hour in a field so that they realize the hard way that they couldn't even last for that one hour.
It’s just a way to legitimize mass incarceration. The project itself is to reduce America to a permanent under class.
The federal government has entered in to the human trafficking business with private companies and cabinet officials directly involved in that activity.
They are incarcerating people, regardless of immigration status and they are incarcerating citizens. These are the kind of businesses who embrace explosive growth..
And the prices on food, you know, that stuff you need every single day, yeah you fired/deported all those workers, you know, the ones picking that stuff that you eat, every single day, yeah they are kind of necessary for you, the every day average American, who likes to eat stuff every single day, you need them to live the life you lead.
Someone needs to ask Brooke if they partnered with Home Depot for sponsored rope to tie the "able-bodied" that aren't actually able, to rickety stools from Amazon to shuck corn for 16 hours. And how much her investments are expected to spike from the slavery of human beings. Like, for 29 straight hours.
I give thanks at every meal for the people who work so we can eat. Cropworkers, processors, grocery workers ALL deserve 🙏🏽 Fair & livable wages 🙏🏽 Safe & decent working conditions 🙏🏽 The respect & dignity befitting their important place in our common life
I watched your video. Cool, and I think you make great points.
As a subpoint, for me, "34 million able bodied on Medicaid" doesn't pass the sniff test with me.
I just don't believe approximately 10% of US citizens are on Medicaid and capable of reliably working (physically and/or mentally). I don't believe that number is even close to being correct.
during dump's first squat in the white house, she did actually push for a nonstupid thing: a prison reform act that even dump's first Justice Department couldn't sabotage.
soooooo here’s the thing. The 13th amendment says slavery is ok if it’s a punishment (paraphrasing). And here are all these prisons (private or otherwise) and concentration camps (dido) which I’m sure are financed by the very people pushing the “deport them” agenda, who are receiving the “prisoners” to be churned out back to the very fields they were grabbed from as “rent-a-slaves”.
Anyway. Pretty sure this is where things are going.
I wonder if for stuff like this, they actually know it is not feasible, but they know that most people won't actually verify the feasability of these things. They assure people its all fine, and if it fails later, they can just blame someone/something else.
Sure a few people may realise, but their propaganda machines are pretty effective at convincing people and drowning out criticism.
Conservatives tried this in Germany in 2006 and failed spectacularly:
"The use of the long-term unemployed as harvest workers has not proven successful
[Off the offered] 7839 helpers […], only 5233 candidates appeared for the interview. Of these, 2859 ultimately started work, of which only 1264 fulfilled their contract until the end of the work."
16% 🥳
The Farmers Association called for an end of the experiment. Back to Eastern European seasonal workers.
Der Einsatz von Langzeitarbeitslosen als Erntehelfer hat sich nicht bewährt. Nur 1264 der von der Bundesagentur für Arbeit angebotenen 7839 Helfer hätten ihren Arbeitsvertrag bis zum Ende erfüllt.
It’s a laughable statement for anyone who can do some basic math: so apparently 10% of Americans are “able-bodied on Medicaid”? Really? 1 in 10 of all the people you know in your community, your neighbourhood, are “able-bodied on Medicaid”? The level of ignorance or gullibility required for them to be able to get away with saying things like that is astonishing.

Visā Latvijā, jo nu uz Rīgas vidusskolām jau piesakās no jebkurienes. Un tad vēl tas, ka skolām atšķiras rezultātu paziņošanas datumi. Un ja tu tiki savā izvēlētajā skolā, tev vēl būtu jāpasaka pārējām "backup" skolām, lai tevi izņem no sarakstiem, ko daudzi nedara.
Šis labi nebeigsies. Man ir aizdomas, ka kādu nāksies sadedzināt Doma laukumā uz sārta, lai sabiedrība nolaistu tvaiku. lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/09…
9. klasi Rīgā šogad pabeiguši ap 6200 skolēnu, bet galvaspilsētas vidusskolās un ģimnāzijās uzņemt var tikai aptuveni 70% no viņiem. Un tas attiecībā tikai uz Rīgas bērniem.
@Arta@toot.lv aizmirsu pateikt vēl labo lietu, viņi saka, ka skolu esot daudz, bet tur ir anormali daudz krievu skolu. Jā, oficiāli tādu vaira nav, bet reāli tajās ir tikai krievvalodīgie bērni un skolotāji, nekas nav mainījies. Tās principā vienkārši var neskaitīt. Reālais skolu skaits ar izglītību latviski ir daudz mazāks.
@normis, nē. Pagaidām tikai skaidrs, ka eksaktie iet labāk. Par profesiju vēl jādomā. Tīri mans subjektīvais viedoklis - eksāmenu rezultāti pēc 12.klases ir bēdīgi - grūti tikt universitātē, grūti mācīties. Profesionālās zināšanas ir labas, bet akadēmiskās klibo.

@Faelyn no it just sits out there year round. I might bring it in if there was going to be a hurricane. maybe. I have it 3' off the ground on an upended 300 gallon tub, and there's no risk of it becoming submerged. It has a built in heater for the winter. you can also tell it to "stow" which makes it vertical, so that could protect it a bit too. I need to put mine on a pole. so even in a bad storm it'd still be out there.
luckily they're cheaper now than when i got mine, and smaller.
Thanks so much for the "real life" info. I wanted to get a Starlink dish to use at home but looking at it, I thought, is this thing weather proof and works in storms? Mine would need to be stationed outside on a pole as well.
I will have to look into this and see what installation entails. A Starlink chain comes right over my house. If I'm outside, sometimes I will see it, it will light up because of all the flying planes after dark.
@Faelyn well, i have the second iteration, the large rectangular dish that can aim itself. So it came in a box with a Power supply, "router", dish, and a 30' cable or something. So you just plug the router in, put the dish outside, connect the cables and power supply up (they're gasketed plugs that look like usb-c for the dish, and NEMA 13(i think, like a computer plug) gasketed for the router. Connect to the router via wifi on yer phone with the starlink app, and then it just goes

I worked with offenders on probation for a long time. They -usually- took it as a badge of honor if you said they were in a gang, imagining people feared them as a bad ass.
Whenever possible we'd reframe it and say they were involved in social groups of losers. Sabotage their already fragile egos -whenever possible- for that life and those behaviors.
