The Scottish Government claimed it would be “antisemitic” to release information about Angus Robertson’s secret meeting with an Israeli ambassador, The Ferret can reveal.
La lluvia corre lentamente sobre la corteza sus dedos húmedos arrugan la mañana. Un suspiro tiembla en el viento, ofrecido al suelo como un pergamino.
El cielo se deshace en las ramas, cada gota se aferra a un latido. El tronco respira, una herida cerrada con la huella del final.
Nada habla, todo escucha en secreto: Las piedras beben, las raíces se estiran. Un gusano germina bajo el musgo discreto, y el bosque recupera su imperio.
An interesting confrontation is happening a the White House.

Caracas, May 21 (Prensa Latina) More than 490,000 Venezuelan state officials were deployed as part of Plan Republica to secure the May 25 elections, the 32nd since the arrival of the Bolivarian Revolution.
It wasn’t just a tree—it was a cathedral of nature, and we cut it down. This haunting photograph, taken sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s, shows loggers standing atop the massive stump of a fallen giant—likely a Douglas fir or Sequoia—deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. These trees once stood for thousands of years, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations. Some were over 300 feet tall and 30 feet in diameter—larger than many buildings today. They weren’t just trees. They were ecosystems, homes to countless species, guardians of climate stability, and living monuments of Earth’s natural history. And yet, in the name of industry, many were felled in a single generation. Today, only a fraction of old-growth forests remain. But this image lives on—a sobering reminder of what we’ve lost and a powerful symbol of why conservation still matters. We cannot undo the past, but we can protect what’s left for the future.
Das kleine Kücken von der #Singdrosel hat mich beim Unkraut zupfen begleitet. Seine Mama hat ihm drei Mal einem Tegenwurm vorbei gebracht. Unsere #Erdbeerpflanzen dies Jahr wachsen und gut gedahen. Und ich probiere dies Jahr wieder aus, Tomaten aus dem eigenen Garten (drei Pflanzen in Töpfen auf unserer Terasse). Letztes Jahr sind Erdbeerpflanzen bi mir im Garten von zu viel Regen einfach ersofen. Und vor Jahren hatte ich Tomaten Pflanzen auch gehabt und leider eine Pilzkrankheit hat die "umgebracht"... Ich probiere aufs Neue mein Glück! 🍀🍅&🍓🍀☀️
Guten Abend @N. E. Felibata 👽. Ich genieße die Zeit in dem Garten, den Gesang von so vielen Vögel und meine alle Blumen beim blühen. Und dann bald immer mehr Erdbeeren zum pflücken und kleine Tomaten. Dann Johannesbeeren und Himbeeren...Das macht einfach Spaß. Die Kinder nutzen den Garten zum Fußball spielen , Badminton oder für Indiaka-Spielen. Zum picknicken auf einer Decke oder zum liegen in unserem Hamak. Trampolin hüpfen. Tico 🐕 hat einem super Revier zum verteidigen! Auf der Terasse sitzen, zusammen essen oder einfach entspannen... Es braucht man nicht viel um glücklich zu werden. 😊🍀🍀🍀☀️ Good evening @N. E. Felibata 👽. I am enjoying the time in the garden, the singing of so many birds and all my flowers blooming. And then soon more and more strawberries to pick and little tomatoes. Then currants and raspberries...it's just fun. The children use the garden to play football, badminton or Indiaka. For picnics on a blanket or lying in our hamak. Jumping on the trampoline. Tico 🐕 has a great territory to defend! Sitting on the terrace, eating together or simply relaxing... You don't need much to be happy.
Ich beneide dich! Ich brauche auch unbedingt ein Gartengrundstück.
Bei mir in der Nähe habe ich bis jetzt nur Schrebergartenparzellen gefunden, aber wer will schon im Kleingartenverein die Höhe der Hecke vorgeschrieben bekommen ... 😱
Guten Abend @N. E. Felibata 👽, Ich wünsche dir dann ganz viel Glück beim suchen nach einemkleinenGartenfürdich. Wer sucht, der findet. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀☀️ Ich grüße dich auch herzlich und einen guten Rest der Woche wünsche ich dir noch. 😊👋

Otto von Bismarck: If an establishment employing twenty thousand or more workpeople were to be ruined...we could not allow these men to hunger. We should have to resort to real State Socialism and find work for them, and this is what we do in every case of distress. If the objection were right that we should shun State Socialism as we would an infectious disease, how do we come to organise works in one province and another in case of distress—works which we should not undertake if the labourers had employment and wages? In such cases we build railways whose profitableness is questionable; we carry out improvements which otherwise would be left to private initiative. If that is Communism, I have no objection at all to it; though with such catchwords we really get no further. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Myocardite après infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 et vaccination contre la COVID-19 : épidémiologie, résultats et nouvelles perspectives La myocardite, se manifestant généralement par une myopéricardite, fait partie des graves conséquences cardiaques observées au cours de la pandémie de COVID-19. Nous avons réalisé une synthèse exhaustive et factuelle de la littérature scientifique, regroupant les résultats de réanalyses de données d’essais cliniques, de surveillance post-commercialisation, d’études observationnelles de grande envergure et d’autres sources de recherche diverses, qui contribuent à éclairer le phénomène de myocardite post-infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 par rapport à la myocardite induite par le vaccin contre la COVID-19. Nos conclusions réfutent plusieurs affirmations antérieures des agences de santé publique et des associations professionnelles, à savoir : (1) les infections par le coronavirus du syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère 2 (SRAS-CoV-2) et par Omicron ont causé plus de cas de myocardite que les vaccins à ARNm contre la COVID-19 ; (2) la myocardite induite par le vaccin à ARNm est généralement bénigne, transitoire et rare, sans séquelles à long terme ; et (3) le rapport bénéfice/risque plaide en faveur de la poursuite de l’utilisation de ces produits malgré l’existence de cas iatrogènes plus nombreux. Nous abordons chacune de ces idées fausses en combinant des perspectives épidémiologiques, cliniques et immunologiques. Nous exhortons les gouvernements à retirer du marché les produits à base d’ARNm contre la COVID-19 en raison du risque bien documenté de lésions myocardiques, un risque particulièrement élevé chez les hommes jeunes (< 40 ans). cardiovascular-research-and-in…

Deux agents d'ambassade d'un état génocidaire sont tués, c'est un acte antisémite. Un peu comme si on avait qualifié les assassinats de nazis, d'actes antigermains ou de racisme antisaxon. Ce n'est pas une attaque contre la communauté juive qui n'a rien à voir avec les exactions en cours à #Gaza, comme le fait dire le #CRIF, c'est une attaque contre deux agents de l'état terroriste qui participaient au musée juif de Washington à "une soirée Young Diplomats Reception, où avait lieu un rassemblement de membres de la communauté diplomatique israélienne âgés de 22 à 45 ans." Rien à voir avec le judaïsme, la communauté, etc. Décidément, la pratique du #confusionnisme menée par les médias et une partie de la classe #politique est insupportable. Elle relègue les crimes de guerres et contre l'Humanité au rang de faits-divers.
L’ancien ministre israélien de la Défense, Moshé #Yaalon, a vivement critiqué la politique du gouvernement de Benjamin #Netanyahu, qu’il accuse d’être guidée par une “idéologie messianique, nationaliste et fasciste”. Dans un message publié sur X, Yaalon a dénoncé la justification religieuse donnée aux attaques contre les civils palestiniens à #Gaza. “Cette idéologie du gouvernement Netanyahu est soutenue par des décisions rabbiniques qui affirment qu’il n’y a pas de personnes innocentes à Gaza”, a-t-il déclaré. Poursuivant ses critiques, Yaalon a qualifié l’actuelle coalition au pouvoir de “gouvernement d’extrémistes, d’escrocs et de corrompus”. Il a appelé à une mobilisation citoyenne de grande ampleur: “Nous manifesterons en masse jusqu’à atteindre le stade de la désobéissance civile pacifique”.
reminder that LEGO® is an evil litigious company that will try to silence criticism by suing fans, sues fan games, sues people for using LEGO® generically for other bricks. plus their prices are ridiculous and their sets are bad.
i would argue solely on the bad sets thing and say it definitely varies a lot im quite content with mine lately but yeah it is insanely overpriced, dont know much about the litigousness stuff
@xianc78 whats a competitor to lego thats cheaper and actually good? i've been doing their flower sets lately but other models would be cool. do i just go for 1:1 chinese clones or something?
@ube I don't know honestly. I just know that Mega Blocks won 14 lawsuits against LEGO. I think we had more Mega Blocks than Lego growing up but I don't know how good they are today.
@xianc78 i always just had lego so i really wouldnt know out of experience but probably i will keep buying from lego instead of trying competitors because i hate change and this specific brand, lego, is like locked in my brain since childhood it would feel wrong to use something slightly different or a cheap copy
@xianc78 interesting. have you seen the lego botanical sets? theyre very pretty, like youd expect them not to be but like look at this random reddit photo of them i found, they look REALLY good and i definitely can confirms especially at a distance. i left most of them behind when i moved though so i only have one set up currently, got another box waiting for me though
Destroying Gaza 'With Love': Israel's New YogiNazis
(Susan Gordon - fb) - The entire article is copied below. Read this and tell me that Zios are not the most evil monsters on the planet. Aside from being willfully ignorant, and totally ignoring #history, they can blame #October7, all they want, for becoming monsters, but these people were monsters well before that.
“Rivka Lafair is a ‘facilitator of workshops, meet-ups and group sessions on #yoga themes, teacher of feminine yoga and personal development.’ She lives in the settlement of Shiloh in the southern #WestBank and terms herself a ‘proud Jew’ who ‘thinks outside the box.’ Lovely. Also, she also wants to annihilate and expel two million human beings in the #Gaza Strip.
“Lafair belongs to a stream within Israeli Judaism that can be described as ‘ #YogiNazis’, people whose #spiritualism underpins their #Nazism. They are a relatively new sub-stratum – albeit with deep roots in the local culture – that has gained popularity since October 7, largely because of its ability to weld together concepts that, on the surface, seem like polar opposites: spirituality and #annihilation, empowerment and #expulsion, yoga and #starvation, retreats and carpet #bombing.
“Lafair is a person who believes that ‘music has the power to alter our consciousness,’ but also that expelling and annihilating two million Gazans begins with ‘altering one's consciousness.’ In order to succeed in this important cognitive switch, we have to understand that ‘we have an enemy here – whom we look in the eyes and eliminate." Yes, look them in the eyes – don't do it behind their backs, because we must be in direct and unmediated contact with those were annihilating.’
“And to make it clear that by ‘enemy’ she doesn't mean only Hamas terrorists, she clarifies: ‘We are committed to take revenge and destroy Gaza. From infant to old woman.’ She tops it off with an appropriate Bible verse: ‘Thou shalt blot out the remembrance of #Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.’
“Lafair understands that people tend to be puzzled when facing this dissonance between spirituality and annihilation. So she in one of her videos, she has ‘a message to everyone who doesn't understand how it's possible to be spiritual, to teach yoga and hold retreats, whilst calling for the expulsion and annihilaSHon [sic] of your enemy.’
“Indeed, her answer is simple: ‘I love my people with an undying love, and I hate my enemy with an undying hatred… One does not contradict the other. One can be a person filled with values and love, and at the same time… you also know what is right and what is wrong, you stand firm against your enemy and you know what must be done with them.’
“So, what must be done with them? (SHSHSH… don't tell anyone.)
“M., the same woman who cares for children ‘with a gentle, connecting and nurturing approach’ explains: ‘You know what? After October 7, I don't have an ounce of compassion for anyone there. Not even for children.’
“And if Lafair's Nazi-spiritualism can be written off because she's a settler who's found an efficient solution for realizing the idea of Greater Israel, it's worth noting that this is a far broader phenomenon that isn't limited to the occupied territories.
“One day before #Holocaust Remembrance Day, for example, standup comedian and satirist Gil Kopatz, who has been flirting with spirituality and religion for years, posted the following: ‘If you feed sharks, they eventually eat you. If you feed Gazans, they eventually eat you. I support making sharks extinct and exterminating Gazans. Reflections for Holocaust Remembrance Day 2025.’
“After the post generated a "storm,’ Kopatz posted a clarification: ‘I don't have an ounce of compassion for the Gazans. For Arabs as a whole, yes, for human beings as a whole, yes, for sharks – no, and not for human beasts.’ Of course, his desire to eradicate millions of people doesn't imply he's a bad person. Indeed, ‘I consider myself to be a humane, liberal and moral person,’ he writes. To top it off, he ends the post with a bit of dark humor: ‘It's not genocide, it's pesticide, and it’s essential.’ A regular riot that one, eh?
“In fact, most of the spiritual vocabulary in #Israel has been mobilized in service of #YogiNazism. Take M., for example, a woman from a large well-to-do city a few kilometers north of Tel Aviv. She runs a studio described as ‘a pleasant space, filled with inspiration,’ which espouses three values: ‘Creativity. Emotion. Experience.’
“In this pleasant space she facilitates ‘creativity groups for children – from the age of four and up; personal emotional guidance for children and youth – with a gentle, connecting and nurturing approach.’ All of this happens, of course, in ‘a homey, warm and professional atmosphere’ (those interested are ‘lovingly invited’).
“Yet, when this same M. is shown a video showing a hungry child in the Gaza Strip, she asserts immediately: ‘Not credible. Sorry. I've seen how clips are staged – positioning, applying makeup, putting together a script.’ Never mind not credible, but the same woman who cares for children ‘with a gentle, connecting and nurturing approach’ explains, ‘You know what? Even if it is real, after October 7, I don't have an ounce of compassion for anyone there. Not even for children.’ Furthermore: ‘It saddens me to see people among us actually sharing this shit, and worse, identifying with it and expressing pain.’
“To make it clear that she's not a callous person, she sums up: ‘The writer is a mother, a lover of humanity and an all around great person.’ It's just that ‘October 7 took away my innocence.’ Poor woman, she's really struggling.
“A., too, is not a settler. She lives in a well-established city in Israel and is simply looking to find a new home for ‘an amazing dog!!!! She's fully house-trained, a dog filled with love who needs a warm, loving home.’
“So much caring, so much love, so much compassion. And yet, when she encounters a photograph of a Gazan child who was killed in an Israeli bombing, she instantly grasps that someone is trying to confuse her, and posts: ‘Let's make things clear. If there had been no massacre here, there would be no massacre there!! It's not the chicken-and-egg case!!!
“Afterwards, when the chicken and egg can't seem to figure out what she meant, she resorts to some of the ‘best’ debunked calumnies spread in the wake of the horrific massacre – ‘after babies here were burned, their heads chopped off, put into an oven’– and concludes resoundingly: ‘There was no reason to send in a container of clothes for their children.’
“Of course, she too was once a compassionate, sensitive person – ‘Don't get me wrong, I thought exactly like you until October 6, but if someone comes to kill you… it's case closed. They started and we will finish!!!’ (don't you mean 'finiSH?').
“There are many of these in present-day Israel. Spiritual people who view the annihilation of the other as a form of personal growth and the eradication of the enemy as empowerment. They live in one big retreat, where consciousness is so finely tuned that all noise disappears, all disturbances are muted, so that they are left with only themselves, them and their inner being – pure, compassionate, unsullied – and finally able to connect with what resided there all along, waiting to be revealed: The desire to annihilate and destroy millions of people, including children, women and the elderly. With great love.”
Who said spirituality and ethnic cleansing don't go together? Israel is full of spiritual types who view the annihilation of the other as a form of personal growth
"Every child in Gaza is the enemy. We are at war with the Gazan entity, the Gazan terror entity, which we ourselves established in Gaza, in Oslo, and in the disengagement. The disengagement that Prime Minister Netanyahu voted in favor of, that is the enemy now. Every such child to whom you are now giving milk in another 15 years will rape your daughters and slaughter your children. We need to conquer Gaza and settle it. And not a single Gazan child should remain there." --Moshe Feiglin, former Israeli lawmaker

Otto von Bismarck: Give the working-man the right to work as long as he is healthy, assure him care when he is sick; assure him maintenance when he is old. If you do that, and do not fear the sacrifice, or cry out at State Socialism directly the words “provision for old age” are uttered,—if the State will show a little more Christian solicitude for the working-man, then I believe that the gentlemen of the Wyden (Social-Democratic) programme will sound their bird-call in vain, and that the thronging to them will cease as soon as working-men see that the Government and legislative bodies are earnestly concerned for their welfare. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

This compliments @pluralistic's vital critiques of #enshittification quite well, but they're both getting at something larger IMO: as a society, we've been conditioned by the powerful to accept substance-free mediocrity as not just the norm, but the optimal state. It shows up in tons of ways, from vapid social media influencers peddling poorly-made vanity products with no real intrinsic value, to the neverending reign of reality TV's paint-by-numbers programming, to the cynical "brainrot" content trends we see now, to everyone desperately trying to pretend #AI in its current state is anything but a bell curve simulator, to cynical politicians virtue signaling about every issue while doing everything they can to avoid anything resembling legislation or governance (i.e. their job).
In every way, the rich prefer a world in which we're distracted and disarmed while they can enrich themselves by merely existing without straining or challenging themselves in any way. It's the societal equivalent of parents handing kids an iPad so they don't have to deal with them vs. actually parenting. Name any of the #billionaires who obsessively focus on our collective substance and incremental improvement vs. jazz hands PR stunts and corporate pablum while paying lip service about shareholder value. You can't, they don't exist. Every single one of them is trying to give you, the baby, an iPad to play with, so you'll leave them the fuck alone. Better yet, if you die or disappear, they can just keep the iPad for themselves and not have to deal with you at all! Wonder why they're bankrolling tax cuts that destroy much of what makes existing in this country possible and worthwhile?
We are in a class war, not a culture war. Our politics are a symptom of what Ed lays out here, not the cause. The sooner we all realize that and band together, the better off we'll all be.
Fair warning: this is the longest thing I've written on this newsletter. I do apologize.

The Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades mourns its martyred comrade, the heroic fighter “Adham Karam Abu Sharkh”
With great pride and honor, the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, mourns its martyred comrade, the heroic fighter “Adham Karam Abu Sharkh / Abu Khaled.”
One of the heroes of the Intelligence Branch of the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, he was martyred on the road to Al-Quds and Palestine, treacherously and directly targeted by the occupation’s warplanes during the battles to defend and confront our people in the midst of the epic of October 7th in the “Bashit Camp” in the city of Rafah, a city of steadfastness and defiance. He inscribed with his blood the most wonderful meanings of sacrifice and redemption, and was a fierce defender of our Palestinian people and the Arab nation, defending the afflicted and oppressed among our Palestinian people in the face of zionist aggression in the ongoing resistance against our existence and our right to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea.
Our comrade “Abu Khaled” exemplified a committed, resistant comrade, not a compromising one advancing to the front lines. It is to be noted that the comrade rejected an offer from the Dutch embassy to leave and join his family residing in the Netherlands, preferring to choose the path of blood as a path to freedom and independence, and in defense of our people, our cause, and our land.
Despite the great pain of losing our comrade and all our heroes who never gave up, we affirm that this tragedy will only strengthen our resolve and steadfastness to continue on the path of the martyrs, struggling and fighting until the last drop of blood for a comprehensive and complete liberation, expelling the occupation from all of our Palestinian national territory, restoring all of our usurped rights, and avenging the blood of our martyrs and leaders.
O masses of our heroic people… O free people of our nation and the world!
We, the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, pledge to you and to the blood of our martyrs and heroes across the battlefields that we will remain loyal to those who paved the path to freedom with their blood and accepted nothing less than the path illuminated by blood as a path to freedom and independence.
– The martyred comrade was born on July 1, 2001, in the Jabalia refugee camp.
– He grew up in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip, in the bosom of a militant Front-wing family, where he was raised on the principles of struggle and revolution.
– He studied law at Al-Azhar University.
– Our comrade joined the ranks of the Popular Front from an early age, joining its student arm, the Progressive Student Action Front, and eventually joining the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, out of his belief in armed struggle as a path to liberation and return. Our comrade was one of the heroes of the Intelligence Branch of the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades.
He participated in the epic October 7th and was at the forefront of the confrontation with the zionist enemy.
Our heroic martyr was distinguished by his selflessness, sacrifice, courage, initiative, and his deep attachment to Palestine and the rifle, as well as his dream of reclaiming the usurped rights of our people and liberating all of Palestine.
Our comrade Adham was martyred on Sunday, May 12, 2024, while carrying out his duty as a fighter and combatant while carrying out a mission to confront the ground invasion of the city of Rafah. He was targeted by treacherous zionist aircraft with missiles, and our comrade concluded his journey of struggle and combat with martyrdom, answering the call of Gaza and the resistance, advancing to the forefront alongside his comrades in the Palestinian resistance, armed with his unshakable faith in the struggle and his belief in inevitable victory.
Our pledge is eternal, unwavering vengeance. Glory to the martyrs, freedom to the prisoners, and healing to the wounded. Tomorrow, the fog will recede from the hills… and we will surely be victorious.
Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades The military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine May 12, 2025.
#Espagne L' #Ukraine commet des actes de terrorisme, des tentatives d'assassinat, des meurtres et des exécutions extrajudiciaires sur le sol de l'OTAN et de l'UE, tout en aspirant à rejoindre ces deux organisations, et l'Occident agite silencieusement des pancartes « Slava Ukraine », tout en louant l'héroïsme du nouveau « Churchill ». Pitoyable. L'ancien conseiller de l'ancien président ukrainien #Ianoukovitch, Andriy #Portnov, abattu près de #Madrid. Portnov a reçu quatre blessures par balle à la poitrine et une à la tête. L'incident s'est produit près de l'entrée de l'école américaine à Madrid. Andriy était un opposant de longue date du régime #Zelensky et sa dictature.
⏺️Dmitry Vasilets à propos de Andrei Portnov, opposant ukrainien assassiné à Madrid⏺️
«L'avocat Andrei Portnov a été assassiné à Madrid ; les tueurs ont tiré trois balles. Le meurtre a eu lieu dans la banlieue de la capitale espagnole. Portnov amenait les enfants à l’école tous les jours ; après que les enfants furent entrés dans l'établissement scolaire, des coups de feu ont été entendus. Je connaissais personnellement cet homme, il avait beaucoup d’ennemis, y compris la bande de Porochenko et Soros de divers horizons, qu’il traînait régulièrement devant les tribunaux, les humiliant et les forçant à lui payer des compensations pour les mensonges qu’ils racontaient à son sujet dans les médias. Cet homme a contribué au fait que l'affaire pénale contre moi, fabriquée par le SBU et le régime de Porochenko, a échoué en 2018. C'était une figure politique forte, crainte du régime de Zelensky. Mes condoléances à sa famille, ses amis et ses proches, c'était un homme digne... »
Pour la première fois dans l'histoire du conflit israélo-palestinien, un citoyen occidental, ni musulman ni arabe, a mené une attaque contre des diplomates sionistan en solidarité avec Gaza et la cause palestinienne.
Alors que la colère populaire en Occident se transforme en solidarité armée, la protection des missions sionistaines devient un fardeau croissant pour les gouvernements.
Cela soulève plusieurs questions : - L’opinion publique occidentale commence-t-elle à perdre confiance dans ses gouvernements en raison de leur complicité dans les crimes de l’occupation ?
Assistons-nous à une nouvelle vague de solidarité armée ou les gouvernements parviendront-ils à contenir ce phénomène ? Comment?
Les gouvernements occidentaux seront-ils obligés de réévaluer leur soutien à Israël et les coûts de la protection de ses missions, surtout si de telles attaques de citoyens occidentaux se multiplient ?
Les liens étroits des gouvernements occidentaux avec le sionistan les conduiront-ils à se transformer en régimes dictatoriaux imposant des restrictions strictes aux manifestations de soutien à la cause palestinienne, invoquant le risque d’une escalade de la violence, renversant ainsi la confrontation entre les gouvernements et leur peuple ?
Conceptually I can understand that Termux cant take a photo or video from a camera device because it doesnt have access to the camera drivers that Android has....
...except that the Termux API does allow you to take a photo. So why is video off limits?
Yeah, I mean it's not like they're calling native Android functions there (in proceedWithOpenCamera), it looks like the CameraDevice object might offer a lot more capture modes that just aren't being tapped into. Is it just a programming issue, or does Android only offer Photo contexts but not Video ones, or...?

Otto von Bismarck: Peasants and large landed proprietors recognise more and more that they form one and the same class, the class of land-owners, and follow one and the same industry of agriculture. ... The land-owners are, on the whole, a support of the monarchy, and their entire disposition is favourable to the existing Government; and you try to sow discord amongst them because you are displeased that the unification is proceeding gradually and unceasingly. This is the salutary effect of legislation which at first was painfully felt by many of the privileged class: the abolition of all the legal and axiomatic prerogatives of the greatest land proprietors, and especially of the earlier knighthood. We larger land-owners are in our industry to-day nothing more than the largest peasants, and the peasant is nothing more than the smaller land-owner. Indeed, most peasants call themselves land-owners, while some call themselves husbandmen and others countrymen. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Bajo la piel del silencio
La lluvia corre lentamente sobre la corteza
sus dedos húmedos arrugan la mañana.
Un suspiro tiembla en el viento,
ofrecido al suelo como un pergamino.
El cielo se deshace en las ramas,
cada gota se aferra a un latido.
El tronco respira, una herida cerrada
con la huella del final.
Nada habla, todo escucha en secreto:
Las piedras beben, las raíces se estiran.
Un gusano germina bajo el musgo discreto,
y el bosque recupera su imperio.
