US President Donald Trump signed a memorandum reinforcing the US blockade on Cuba and banning all US tourism to the island. The move targets Cuba’s economy and aims to isolate the Cuban government.
Lincoln should be shamed as one of the worst, if not the worst, American Presidents.
He never freed one slave - in fact he sold them. He did not fight to end slavery, he fought to keep the tax revenue of the departed States. His concern about slaves were black people. He worked to export all blacks. He oversaw war crimes gleefully to destroy his enemies. He consolidated unconstitutional power and we live with that today.
Unted States' ,notice the apostophe, free, sovereign and idependent States
This treaty and the separate peace treaties between Great Britain and the nations that supported the American cause, including France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic are known collectively as the Peace of Paris.[3][4] Only Article 1 of the treaty, which acknowledges the United States' existence as free, sovereign, and independent states, remains in force.[5]
2 Temmuz 1993. Sivas’ta bir otel yakıldı. İçinde insanlar vardı. Aydınlar, sanatçılar, ozanlar, çocuklar… Canlı canlı yakıldılar. Dışarıda toplanan binlerce kişi “yakın, yakın!” diye bağırıyorlardı. İçeridekiler ise insanlıktan medet umuyordu. Gelmedi...
Bu bir halk isyanı değildi. Bu bir linçti. Bir katliamdı. Devletin gözetiminde, devletin bilgisiyle, devletin gölgesinde yaşandı. Herkes izledi. Herkesin izlediğini tarih kaydetti.
Ve sonra ne mi oldu?
Tansu Çiller çıktı, “Çok şükür otel dışındaki halkımıza bir zarar gelmedi” dedi. Yani içerde yananları “halk”tan saymadı. Onları bu milletin parçası olarak görmedi. Bu, yalnızca bir cümle değil, bir zihniyetti.
Süleyman Demirel ise “Olay münferittir. Halkla güvenlik güçleri çatışmamıştır” dedi. Sanki bir tesadüfmüş gibi, sanki binlerce kişi bir anda “aniden” galeyana gelmiş gibi… Sanki öncesi yokmuş, yıllarca biriken nefret yokmuş, devletin ideolojik mühendisliği hiç yokmuş gibi…
Erdal İnönü ise sorumluluğu başkalarına devretmeye çalıştı: “Benim kadar onlar da sorumlu.” Hayır! Siz hepiniz sorumluydunuz! Çünkü o gün orada susan herkes, yanındakinin çığlığını bastırdı.
Fehmi Koru, Aziz Nesin’i suçladı. Mehmet Gazioğlu, inançlara hakaret ettiğini iddia etti. Yani bu insanlar, “Aziz Nesin vardı, o yüzden insanlar yakıldı” diyebildi. Faili suçlamak yerine, mağdura yöneldiler. Tarihin en alçak diliyle konuştular.
Bu sözler rastgele değildir. Bunlar bir zihniyetin, bir devlet aklının, bir cezasızlık geleneğinin göstergesidir. O gün orada yakılan yalnızca insanlar değildi. O gün insanlık da yandı. Vicdan da, adalet de, hakikat de…
Bugün hâlâ Madımak Oteli bir utanç müzesi değilse… Hâlâ faillerin bazıları korunduysa, bazıları serbest kaldıysa… Hâlâ devlet yetkilileri o gün söylediklerini düzeltme gereği duymadıysa…
Bu, bir devam halidir. Sivas katliamı geçmişte kalmadı. Sivas sürüyor. Ve o gün “yakın” diye bağıranlar bugün başka meydanlarda, başka isimlerle, başka sloganlarla hâlâ aramızdalar…
Ama artık yeter. Çünkü devlet sustuğunda, katiller konuşur. Ve biz sustukça, tarih yanmaya devam eder.

🔖 Title: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Mississippi Masterpiece Lists for $2.5 Million 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T19:02:14+03:00 📄 Summary: The rare Usonian home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Mississippi has been listed for $2.5 million. This architectural gem stands out as one of only four Wright designs in the state and holds the distinction of being the sole Wright property on the National Register of Historic Places in Mississippi. A true treasure for enthusiasts of modernist architecture and Wright’s lasting legacy. 🔗 news.artnet.com/art-world/fran…
Chilling statistic. Wrong on so many levels. Guilty of living in a territory. Or of presumably believing in a different religion. And being slaughtered because of it. Evil.
Turns out bunker busters work better than $150 billion cash on pallets. The total cost of the recent U.S. bombing campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear sites is estimated to be around $500 million, reflecting a complex and costly military operation. This figure includes the deployment of seven B-2 stealth bombers, each valued at approximately $2.1 billion, which delivered at least 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker-buster bombs costing $15-20 million apiece. Additionally, about 30 Tomahawk missiles, each costing around $2 million, were launched. The operational costs—including fuel, maintenance, aerial refueling, support aircraft such as F-22s, F-35s, AWACS, electronic warfare platforms, and personnel—added tens of millions more, with total mission expenses likely exceeding half a billion dollars. Over 125 aircraft participated in the mission, underscoring the extensive logistical and financial investment involved[1][2][3][5][6][8].
Beyond the direct military expenditures, the strikes have also contributed to broader economic impacts, including increased volatility in global oil prices and inflation concerns due to fears of disruption in Iranian oil exports and potential retaliatory actions. These indirect costs, while harder to quantify, amplify the overall financial and geopolitical consequences of the bombing campaign[2][5][7].
In sum, the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities represent a significant financial outlay in both direct military spending and wider economic ramifications, with the immediate operational costs alone estimated at around $500 million.
To understand **how many water systems and power plants could have been built for \$500 million**, we can estimate based on average construction costs of these infrastructures. Below is a rough breakdown using typical U.S. figures (note: actual costs vary significantly by location, scale, and technology):
---
### 💧 **Water Systems**
**Average cost to build a new municipal water system** (small to mid-sized community):
* **\$5 million to \$15 million** (Includes treatment facilities, distribution pipelines, pumps, etc.)
#### 🔹 Conservative estimate:
* **\$10 million per water system** ➤ **\$500 million ÷ \$10 million = 50 water systems**
---
### ⚡ **Power Plants**
There are various types of power plants. Here are a few types with rough average costs:
#### 🟢 **Small Solar Power Plant (\~10 MW):**
* **\~\$15 million** ➤ **\$500 million ÷ \$15 million = \~33 solar plants** (Can power \~2,000 homes each)
#### 🔵 **Small Natural Gas Plant (\~100 MW):**
* **\~\$100 million** ➤ **\$500 million ÷ \$100 million = 5 plants** (Can power \~75,000–100,000 homes each)
#### 🟠 **Small Modular Nuclear Reactor (SMR):**
* **\~\$300 million to \$500 million** ➤ **Could build 1 to 2 SMRs**
---
### Combined Estimate
| Type | Average Cost | How Many for \$500M | | ----------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | | Small municipal water system | \$10M | 50 | | Solar power plant (10 MW) | \$15M | 33 | | Natural gas plant (100 MW) | \$100M | 5 | | Small modular nuclear reactor | \$400M | 1–2 |
---
### 🧾 Summary
For the **same \$500 million**, instead of being spent elsewhere (e.g., military aid, overseas projects), **the U.S. could build:**
* **50 municipal water systems**, or * **33 small solar power plants**, or * **5 small natural gas plants**, or * **1–2 small modular nuclear reactors**
This kind of investment could power hundreds of thousands of homes or deliver clean water to entire regions in need.

Here's a thought for cis men who, when women tell you to stop performing toxic masculinity because it is harming you, say "but do you have any idea what that would cost me socially? Men and women both constantly demand that I perform their idea of masculinity."
Women who have refused to perform the requirements of femininity absolutely know what it can cost, and we are telling you, it is better to accept that price than continuing living in a system that destroys you.
If we refuse to have babies, people lose their minds. If we refuse to be nice and sweet, people scold us. If we refuse to dress in ways that are socially acceptable for feminine women (whether by being too masculine or too "provocative") that opens us up to assault & transphobic violence (funny how those bathroom bills make it dangerous for any woman to go out in public without looking sufficiently feminine).
We know.
So don't tell me that you can't refuse to perform masculinity.
We have a federal constitution that is limited. All not listed in the constitution is the purview of the States.
Since 90% of the federal budget is unconstitutional, it should be scrapped. There would be no ability to 'promise' anything since it is unconstitutional.

Hi friends, My name is Cyara, and I’m a transgender refugee living in Gorom camp, South Sudan, along with other queer community members. We came here after fleeing severe persecution and violence in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya where many of us were harassed, attacked, and denied safety.
We thought we would be safer in South Sudan, but here too we face discrimination, abuse, and daily threats. Then, on June 20th, the government gave us an eviction deadline: leave the camp or face prison. They gave us no plan, no support, just a deadline. That day came and passed. We are still stuck, scared, and exposed.
I know posts like this can feel overwhelming but please believe me when I say: this isn’t easy to write. I’m not trying to guilt anyone. I’m just desperate to get help for me and my sisters.
We are trying to raise $1500 USD to rent a shelter in Juba for 3 months, to house 8 of us while we try to find longer-term safety. We’ve raised $121 so far I’m grateful beyond words for that, but we’re still far from safety.
Please — if you can’t donate, just boost this post. Share it. Let people know we exist. That alone could save a life. Also please mods, my cause was really verified by Qaz. Please don’t take it down. I can still verify my situation
I think that you are not allowed to speak freely on most platforms. And when i say speak freely i dont mean to have right to offend people, just to have right to normaly tell your opinion.
It's mostly the people, not the services themselves. I guess the services don't want to look anti-democracy and toxic lol. They have the "it's fine unless I disagree" philosophy while promoting various "freedoms" (often including freedom of speech) which is definitely not meant for establishing literal minority supremacy.
I don't even see a reason for proving this tbh. It's something you have to see yourself to be sure and from my experience people who don't see it are just highly delusional and deranged or something from that category. People that I know personally and that don't struggle with severe mental illnesses (as those can cause comprehension issues obviously) do see this problem btw.
Yes you are, they are advertising their platforms like you are free to comment anything and most people beleave that. Ask anyone if they think youtube will delete their commen even if they didnt offend anyone and they will tell you no way! So people definitly think that you are free to say anything freely, while you are actualy not. Meaby the sites have it vriten in small letters somwhere deep beried in papers but thats obviusly not clear to people. And its beried on purpose. If they are more clear with that people would searc for another platform that wont do that.
Yes you are, they are advertising their platforms like you are free to comment anything and most people beleave that.
I hate to break it to you, that's your fault for making an assumption (and a bold one at that) or you're just quite naive. Most places that you sign up for will either have you agree to a Terms of Service, or they'll make you agree to the rules. I have even more bad news for you: Advertisements usually try their best to show only the "good" of what is being advertised (such as how an advertisement for a toy doesn't usually make it very clear that batteries are required to use it).
Ask anyone if they think youtube will delete their commen even if they didnt offend anyone and they will tell you no way!
No, they might be angry that their comment was removed, but it's a pretty common understanding that moderators will remove content at their discretion, even if people don't necessarily agree with the decision.
I'm not sure why I'm even engaging in this, usually it's pretty clear when someone gets upset that their "free speech" (that they were never entitled to) is being violated that their intent is to spread hateful content.
Perhaps that isn't you, but nonetheless that is the group you're putting yourself in (even if unintentionally) whenever you ride under that banner.
It would also be worthwhile double checking what actual "Freedom of Speech" is and what it covers. Assuming you are referring to the US' first amendment, it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone other than you and the government (and even then it has its bounds).
As an example, let's say you're a writer for a newspaper. The government cannot take down an article that you write in which you criticize them (because that would fall under protected speech, unless you are making direct threats towards someone), but your boss could absolutely say "No way, we're not publishing that" as they are not a government official.
This doesn't even just include "Freedom of Speech", as another example, with the right to assembly you can publicly assemble and protest the government - but it wouldn't allow you to start a protest on someone's private property.
Found the libertarian that doesn’t understand the concept of free speech. 😂
As BlueBerryDreams aptly put it:
Freedom of speech is a protection from persecution from the government, not an obligation for all other parties to be exposed to your speech. Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It's their right to make those rules whatever they want, and people can choose the rules that make a more pleasant space to occupy.
Nobody is obliged to broadcast your opinion if they don’t like what you say.
True and that's why closed communities (women only, trans only etc) exist. But if a community presents itself as open, not broadcasting something does say something about its morality imo.
No actyaly noone have to read my comment if they dont find it interesting. Or noone have to read my post if they dont see it interesting. Removing of comments and posts are directly wiolating freedom of speach.
Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It's their right to make those rules whatever they want
That includes removing whatever post they like or dislike. If you post something against the terms of service and your post gets removed, that’s on you.
Noone is amplifing my opinion, they are just letting us all have our opinions. And they are not removing comment that are violating their terms of service they are removing coments that they dont like, even if they dont violate any terms. Also they are making terms of service very shady and unclear and brod so it gives them right to remove anything they dont like. Also they are not up front about it. If they honestly say yes we will remove any comment that we dont like than people would search for another platform that wont do that. This way they are directly deceiving people in thinking that they have freedom to tell their opinion when in reality they dont.
What do you think the terms and conditions when you make accounts are? That’s why they make you agree to them up front. You chose not to read them and ignore them.
On YouTube the channel operator and the company have a say in how they want their space to be. You have no right to insist on being heard in every damn room you enter. That includes “just leaving a comment for those that want to read it”
If the person or company doesn’t want your opinion in their room it is their right to remove it. Like it or not.
No you are wrong, is it realy fair to put one small “i agree” button and have milion pages of text behand it? Is it ok to let people agree to all that text vithout realy reading it? No ofcourse not its built that way on purpose. Its by design made to lure you to just click ok without reading it, because thats what they want. They dont want you to read it, they want you to just clikc ok so they can continey to do what they want without you even knowing anything. It should be forbiden by law that you make text longer than 10 sentenses. Because realisticly noone can read it. Imagine that you need to read a 100 pages of text for every single app that you want just to try out. Imagine that you need to read 100 pages whenever new small update comes out for your system on your smartphone. And imagine doing the same for your pc, and also for every single app that you have. Every time new update comes out you need to read a 100 pages. Thats not posible and that should be ilegal!
Ok. So here the fun bit. I’m one of those people that does read them. I look into the privacy policy of the technology and websites that I use.
Most terms of service are very similar and are broken down into categories usually. Finding the content and privacy sections doesn’t take long and once you read a few they all become easier to understand.
You might not like it but “I agree” is enough to be legally binding. Just because you didn’t want to read doesn’t mean others don’t. There are a lot of laws and 10 sentences won’t cover that.
As of youtube, first of all thats not their space thats public space and they souldnt have pover to controll it. And im not hierd automaticly because i left a comment. There are many comments on video and i dont read them all so they are not hierd as you sad. But if someone wants to read my comment they should be free to do so. You dont have right to delete my comments. No its not their right to remove it, becayse i dont leave comment for them i leave comment for all the people that are watching a video.

If you want the freedom to be hateful and hostile to people, feel free to hang out on 4chan. Forums are typically more tightly controlled, especially specific topic forums, with discussion tightly controlled to keep things on the subject so the site stays useful and not buried in irrelevant content.
Dude if you dont want to read my comment on youtube video than dont, just skip it. But deleting my comment is direct violation of freedom of speach. Noone is forcfuly listening to me. Let me speak freeli and noone is exposed forcfuly to my speach. If you dont want to read my post on forum than don read it. Deleting my post is violation of freedom of speach.
Deleting my post is violation of freedom of speach.
Repeating it doesn't make it true. Sorry, but that's simply not what the first amendment is about. 'Freedom of speech' means you can't be arrested for a YouTube comment criticizing our glorious Cheeto (yet). It does not grant you control over the content other people choose to publish to private websites.
These spaces are not free, public spaces, and they have never been. Stop living in this fantasy world. Twitter is not a town square, it's Elon's private club and he can do whatever the hell he wants. The only thing I can do is choose not to use it, and focus on sites run by people I'd rather support.
Second sites are not honest about freedom on them. If you say that everyone are free to comment whatever they want, as long as its not directly offencive and than delete all comments that are just reviling the truth without offending anyone, than you are straight up lying people. If you honestly sad that you will do that kind of things, people would search for another platform. So you are directly scaming people.
That was the big problem on sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. They advertise themselves as a public square. Then they would censor speech in various ways unknown to the speaker. A lot of people in this thread don't understand that. In case you are not familiar, sounds like you are, Martin v. City of Struthers (1943). I know these sites aren't just U.S. citizens, so a lot of the comments come from foreigners who only familiar with their limited freedoms their government allows them.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Trump administration has formally updated the safety labeling on all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to reflect what many Americans have been warning about for years: a disturbingly high risk of myocarditis—particularly in young men—and ...
the possibility of long-term, irreversible heart damage.
The revised warnings apply to both Pfizer’s Comirnaty and Moderna’s Spikevax vaccines and follow months of mounting pressure over transparency and accountability regarding the true risks of these experimental injections.

Its utterly amazing to me that some people are soooo retarded that they haven't figured out that modern education credentials are utterly usless in identifying expertise or intelligence.

This is the kind of content the .ml admins cultivate through their bans and censorship. They'll frequently remove articles from credible good sources that directly go against their narratives, while allowing misinformation and conspiracy websites to include RT, Sputnik and (as shown) random substack blogs as long as they tow the narratives that align with them.
E.g. Ukraine is a Nazi regime and Russia is just "liberating" the Ukrainian people
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
Unfortunately, the "block" isn't really a block on Lemmy, it's barely a mute and that goes for user and instance blocks. Because dessalines refuses to implement a proper system (unsurprisingly). It's been 4 years since "blocks" rolled out
In any case it still allows their toxicity and misinformation to spread, trolling new users who come here unaware of the need to block and such
Really, the best answer is to call for wide defederation like the rest of the Tankie Triad is treated
Is piefed a Lemmy alternative? There are so many new things (very cool!) out there, and Lemmy starts to lose it's luster IMO, not very much interesting news or discussions, lots and lots of "gEnOcIdE" troll bullshit (I mean you can't even ask questions to these people).
Yea, for the most part, but it's still fully federated so you'll still be part of the Threadiverse and will be able to fully see and interact with all of Lemmy's content and users without issues
But, on PieFed, at least block means block, blocking lemmy.ml or any other instance on PieFed blocks comms and users alike and blocking an individual user on PieFed means they won't be seeing any of your comments or posts. So none of this mute BS on Lemmy where problematic users can still brigade your content and comment "behind your back" on your posts/comments without your knowledge

This text was written in the context of the anti-fascist three-day conference of June 20-22, but its typing and publication was delayed.
Responding to the call of the anti-fascist days of actions (20-22 June), of antifa Maja T. who has been on hunger strike since 5/6 in Hungarian prisons, we send our own signal of solidarity to their struggle. Two years ago, during the day of honor (anniversary of the mass extermination of Hungarian and German Nazis in 1945), where a fascist rally-march takes place in Budapest, where hundreds of neo-Nazis and fascists gather. In response to this call, anti-fascists from Europe have decided to return to them some of the violence they produce.
The far-right Hungarian government began a series of arrests, openly supporting the fascists, with inflated indictments of criminal organizations and inhumane conditions of confinement. Other European states cooperated with each other, engaging in a series of deportations and persecutions. Germany played a leading role in characterizing the German anti-fascists persecuted by the Hungarian state as dangerous criminals, culminating in the overnight extradition of Maja T. Many of the people involved chose to go underground, refusing to surrender their freedom in the hands of either the German or the Hungarian state. One of these people was Maja T. until their arrest and extradition.
We are going through a period of vertical rise of the far right and nationalism in the West. More and more people are turning to fascist and nationalist formations. The incompetence of the left and the retreat of the revolutionary movements left room for all kinds of fascist formations to develop and expand their audience. A disappointed audience that found in its face the anti-systemism it was looking for.
Fascism and nationalism have always been the other side of systemism. Especially in times of crisis, when neoliberalism is rotting, fascism emerges as a solution to the problem. The narrative of the national core, racial superiority and the necessity of militarization is used. Militant anti-fascism is the only solution to this problem. We have no illusions about the education of the descendants of the blackshirts, nor do we obviously seek their imprisonment. After all, fascism is crushed in the streets.
Defending anti-fascism, Maja T found themself imprisoned in Hungarian prisons in conditions of extreme isolation. Conditions that led them to embank their own body, starting a hunger strike from 5/6. From our own cell, the least we can do is stand by it, sending strength and solidarity.
Victory in Maja T’s hunger strike. Solidarity with those who are persecuted for their anti-fascist activity Solidarity with the two persecuted comrades, accused of attacks on the offices of Golden Dawn Kyriakos Ximitiris present
It’s easy to show solidarity with powerless victims who endure their suffering with stoicism. But Palestinians chose to break free of their cage, even if it shattered the image of perfect victimhood.

New SpaceX report on Starlink conjunctions and deorbits (a.k.a. dumping tons of metal/plastic/solar panels/computers into the upper atmosphere) scribd.com/document/883045105/…
Scariest part: 472 Starlinks were burned up in the atmosphere in Dec-May. Assuming each satellite is 800kg, and 50% aluminum by mass, that's 1 ton of aluminum PER DAY.
The natural infall rate of aluminum from meteoroids is 0.3 tons per day. Starlink has been ~3x that, for the last 6 months.
Kessler Syndrome update: They report 144,000 collision avoidance maneuvers across the whole constellation in Dec-May. That's about one maneuver every 2 minutes.
Every 2 minutes there's a chance for a mistake that would lead to a very bad day in orbit. And as this paper shows (with Dr. Kessler himself as a co-author!), a very bad day at that altitude would lead to a runaway collisional cascade. No more satellites at that altitude! conference.sdo.esoc.esa.int/pr…
SpaceX spends a lot of time saying how safe they are with their threshhold for collision avoidance maneuvers, which is great. But they HAVE to be! With those densities, high collision probability conjunctions happen many times per day. It is impressive that they have been operating perfectly, but how long do they think they can keep this up with zero mistakes?
And what if all the Starlinks are not all fully burning up as they claim? That's a lot of stuff hitting the ground...
did you write the thread on what Kessler-Syndrome would look like with a timeline description of the fireworks? I saw it a year ago here on mastodon, but didn't bookmark and don't remember the author :/
Do you have a reading tip for laypersons about the effects aluminum has in the atmosphere? I'm often asked by people who have no idea about satellites and believe that "everything vanishes in the air".
Welp, in case we needed even more things to worry about, apparently in 3 days we're going to stress-test Starlink's current orbital configuration with a severe geomagnetic storm.
dang, I really thought these things were smaller and lighter. 800kg really? Who would've thought that burning up space debris in the atmosphere wouldn't always be a low-impact solution 🙄 yikes
Just found out that the 3 NASA WB-57 aircraft often carry a cosmic dust collector on their high-altitude missions. Think satellite debris would be detectable in it soon?
a) how does this compare with baseline other satellites without Star Link and previous generations like iridium?
B) so starlink could theoretically offload the expense of running its own collision avoidance unit to some world government entity because the risk is shared even though the gain is not. Like doing now what would happen if they were to go bankrupt and cease operations
Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven't looked back.
Lag? And discontinuous of stuff like X11 and PulseAudio. They even tried to pass removal of 32 bit packages recently. It may not sound important for 64 bit systems but actually a lot of apps (especially proprietary ones) are in themselves 32 bit.
You only have to replace it if the disadvantages affect you. Usually they affect old hardware, specialist hardware and NVidia GPUs. If you have none of those, you should probably be fine.
