Very proud of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who worked around the clock to get the “ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT” approved in the Senate. He is tough, smart, and knows how to GET THE JOB DONE. Thank you John!
For all the phases of the war, Palestinian factions (with Hamas as forefront) show a great ability on the negotiation tables, fighting diplomatically for the best possible future. Paragraph by paragraph. Day by day. The problem is that the rest of the "players" look less like negotiators and more like sellers in an open market. There are no clear (written) proposals, no guarantees for agreements, no willingness to have a "serious" profile while negotiate. Nothing. The level of Hamas leadership is much greater than (even) the american delegations.
"Amid ongoing rumors, Hamas says it will officially announce its stance on the Gaza ceasefire proposal after completing talks with Palestinian factions." t.me/QudsNen/173423
It also turns out that whatever decision gets on the table is a collective decision and not a "we decide and we order" decision from Hamas. (source Al Jazeera)
There are very few chances for agreement on a #ceasefire. Israel is not a serious negotiator with this kind of demands. The "document" says that #zioNaZis will restart the slaughter whenever feel comfortable to do it...
“All factions welcomed this unified reply,” the statement noted, adding that the response was forwarded to mediators “in a positive spirit and with full unanimity” after both internal and external consultations were finalized.
PIJ confirmed that Hamas consulted with them and provided detailed feedback on implementation for a responsible reply.
A #PFLP leadership source told Al-Hadaf that the Front met with Hamas to seriously discuss the draft. They offered feedback and amendments, which were approved, to stop the war and allow aid without obstacles. The PFLP’s changes concerned the wording of clauses to avoid exploitation by the occupation and a return of the aggression.
#DFLP affirmed that they held consultations with Hamas and #PIJ in #Egypt, and the unified national vision for the day after the war.
Among the apparent concessions to #Hamas in the document, one involves the timing of the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza. Israel had wanted ten living captives released within a week of a ceasefire taking effect, while the new proposal would see eight released on the first day and the remaining two on day 50. Hamas has expressed concern that Israel would resume the war after retrieving its captives. The proposal states that negotiations for a permanent ceasefire should be concluded during the 60-day truce, but, if necessary, “the temporary ceasefire may be extended.” It adds that the U.S., Egypt and Qatar “will ensure that serious negotiations continue for an additional period,” if necessary. Palestinian negotiators believe this language allows too much leeway for Israel to resume the military assault on #Gaza should it decide it no longer wants a ceasefire and instead to continue its war of annihilation and conquest. dropsitenews.com/p/trump-netan… #ceasefire #gazagenocide #IsraelTerroristState #CeasefireViolations
@Proletarian Rage Israeli newspaper Maariv: The current understandings with Hamas are not new, and were proposed since March but Netanyahu rejected them for political reasons; Hamas has not changed its demands and insists on ending the war or serious negotiations; Netanyahu presented Washington with a partial agreement for prisoner release aimed at stabilizing his government domestically.
You know those brown indigenous people, always breaking ceasefires. You can’t trust them. That’s why the white man must bring civilisation to the savages! It’s good the colony is constantly breaking the ceasefires as it shows the savages how to be civilised. The natives should be thankful really…
Great job by the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who spearheaded the drive in Congress for the approval of the “ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT.” He has Great Strength and Wisdom, and will go down as one of the most successful Speakers of the House in History, maybe even the BEST OF THEM ALL. Thank you Mike, and congratulations on a job well done!

Good job everyone blocking and boycotting .ml! It's having an effect, users are noticing and MAUs on their comms are falling!
And for anyone asking "Why are we boycotting/blocking lemmy.ml?" Here's a quick recap:
Lemmy.ml is an instance run by admins who are hardcore tankies and will enforce their ideology on their instance through various means from allowing (and pushing it themselves) propaganda (Such as Russia being justified in some way to invade Ukraine) and known propaganda outlets (Like RT) to removing content on their instance critical of their favored authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China and even banning users for such speech or speech critical of them if it's off their instance (Just like the Reddit mods of ol!).
If it was just some random instance it would have been defederated from long ago like the rest of the "Tankie Triad" (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), but they've positioned lemmy.ml as the "flagship" instance and abused that position and influence to become large enough to keep other instances from defederating from them.
Which I believe is harmful to the Lemmy-verse's overall growth and outside reputation. I have seen it come up before on Reddit threads (and other testimonials from people who came back and tried it again) that "They tried Lemmy but it was a bunch of tankies and went back to Reddit"
I don't know about you, but I'd prefer Lemmy to not end up with the reputation for being "Tankie Central " or even worse "Voat 2.0".
So if you haven't joined the boycott yet, join today and help us foster a better healthier Lemmy-verse!

This irony is pretty thick. OP is crying about propaganda while promoting overt imperial propaganda (radio free europe, etc.). Libs and tankies are the same damn thing with different imperial branding. That's all that this is.
Radio Free [Region] is a perfectly credible news source that does a fair job of minimizing bias
In any case, bias != Mis/Disinformation. They're vastly different beasts. One just tries to subtly write things in a way that makes the reader favor their position the other is just straight lies and made up conspiracy theories to force a certain narrative among the populace
Radio Free [Region] is literally a mouthpiece of blatant western imperialist
Ok prove it then, surely something so widely known and "blatant" to be an outlet for misinformation would have numerous online, credible, sources with their evidence
Radio Liberty was literally initiated by the CIA and has been controlled by the "United States Agency for Global Media" since it was privatised, please look it up...
Even fucking Wikipedia has it listed in the first 3 paragraphs
Additional considerations apply to the use of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). RFE/RL should be used cautiously, if at all, for reporting published from the 1950s to the early 1970s, when RFE/RL had a documented relationship with the CIA.
RFE/RL may be biased in some subject areas (particularly through omission of relevant, countervailing facts), and in those areas, it should be attributed in the article body. There is no consensus as to what subject areas require attribution. The scope of topics requiring attribution of RFE/RL should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
It hasn't been true for some time now and is generally found to be credible and fairly unbiased and RFA is seen in even a more positive light:
Radio Free Asia can be generally considered a reliable source. In particularly geopolitically charged areas, attribution of its point of view and funding by the U.S. government may be appropriate. Per the result of a 2021 RfC, editors have established that there is little reason to think RFA demonstrates some systematic inaccuracy, unreliability, or level of government co-option that precludes its use.
LEAST BIASED These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced.

❗️Israeli forces open fire at returning residents to prevent them from entering Maroun al-Ras in south Lebanon, following the end of the 60-day ceasefire period.
BEIRUT: Israeli army fire killed 22 people in south Lebanon on Sunday, including a soldier, health officials said, as residents tried to return home on the day Israel was supposed to withdraw under a truce deal.
From the live feed of Guardian: Lebanese president concerned that #Israel may not fully withdraw troops from south by Tuesday deadline Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has expressed concern that Israeli troops may not fully withdraw its troops from southern #Lebanon in line with the truce agreement tomorrow.
“We are afraid that a complete withdrawal will not be achieved tomorrow,” Aoun said, adding that “the important thing is to achieve the Israeli withdrawal, and Hezbollah’s weapons come as part of solutions the Lebanese agree on”. _____ Qassem said any Israeli military presence on Lebanese soil after 18 February would be considered an occupying force.
Israel carried out an air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday. The attack occurred despite a ceasefire that came into force five months ago which put an end to the conflict between Israel and the military group.

"Israel" launched a series of airstrikes on Lebanon on Thursday, targeting several areas in southern Lebanon.
Israeli forces carried out a series of airstrikes along the Litani River, hitting the area between the southern Lebanese towns of Zrariye and Deir Seryan, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Additionally, Israeli warplanes also struck the Al-Mahmoudiya and Burghaz regions in the south, according to our correspondent.
Earlier, Israeli forces targeted a civilian vehicle in the Khaldeh area, south of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, as reported by Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, while the Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed in a preliminary toll that the airstrike killed one person and wounded three others, marking another escalation in Israel’s ongoing attacks on Lebanese territory.

New blog post! I wrote about one of the weirdest CDs in my collection - a CD single with a few lo-fi music videos and the distinct vibes that this is the leftover wreckage of what was supposed to be a much bigger project that never came to pass.
curious if it has any of the official ‘enhanced cd’ logos or if it was similar to the ‘rainbow cd’ i was discussing recently where there was sort of a panic moment by execs wanting to release mixed media stuff, and being impatient about the blue book getting finalized/the initial proposals being kinda wonky…
The main feature is a single by Ai Orikasa, aka the voice of Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo, but her name doesn't even show up on the cover and the music video is distinctly lo-fi. I wonder if any of her fans even knew this song existed?
My first foray into these CD's was a similar disc which had a data track for the first track, on it was a installer for the newly released WordPerfect 6.0, also without any Enhanced label. Since then I have collected over 70 Enhanced CD's. All a bit different. My favorite being Weird Al. preservation.tylerthorsted.com…

Because individual blocks, be it for a user or instance, are not blocks. It's a barely functioning "mute", and is likely the way dessalines wants it since it was implemented this way 4 years ago and not a peep on fixing it since. Even now as they barrel towards a 1.0 release, nothing.
The only true block on Lemmy, is defederation or site bans (for individuals)
Even if it did work as expected, it still allows their toxic misinformation and propaganda to spread throughout the Threadiverse. Scaring away new users and making it look like we "accept" it because there's ever decreasing push back to it
.world has not defederated from Lemmy.ml, I really wish they would, being the largest it would be of huge boost to the health of the Threadiverse
But the others are Hexbear and Lemmygrad (if you wanna see some of the things they say, check this thread out (viewed as a local post outside your client) lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48132283)
Thanks for the heads up. I’m surprised that the support channel/community on .world doesn’t have a post requesting outright defederation from .ml. I’ve searched through nearly two years of posts there but found nothing substantial.
I don't think it was on the support comm, but they did respond on a thread about it once on why they don't defed from them like they did the other 2.
It boiled down to 3 things: big comms, official Lemmy support comms and the fact the devs rolled out instance blocking tools
The 1st one, I'm hopefully solving with my cross-posting and calls for boycotting, the third one is by calling attention to the fact that it doesn't work as one would think. Pretty sure everyone thought block meant block when it was being discussed.
I have a copy. A long the same line is Robert Anton Wilson. At the time I read very deep, they were surprisingly on target. I read them both during the same period.
