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.

So my sister's friends daughter who live with her father in Florida has gone missing. Side note I don't know why anyone would wear crocs or slippers outside the home. You can't run in them or kick . I apologize for my digression. By all accounts she's a good kid with no problems in school or at home. My sister asked to post this here to get Awareness and the chance it might help . She's half Greek and half Spanish as far as looks . But anyway hers the photo . This is hours old . Thank you
Well you guys are amazing your prayers really have an effect. They really do. They found the girl ! She was alive and " found being held with people * " . Who these people are or were is not being explained. What they do know is she , the girl made friends with a girl from another country who seems to have been a recruiter or scout for the "people " they found her with. Why so vague? Idk but important thing is she alive and going home! Praise God . And thank you all again
Raging conflicts, disasters and climate change are responsible for the displacement of tens of millions of people, with #Gaza and #Sudan hit the hardest. The lack of progress toward reining in global displacement marks 'a #policy #failure and a #moral stain on humanity.'

On Thursday, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in three consolidated cases concerning the propriety of the nationwide injunctions entered against the Trump Administration barring implementation of the president’s birthright citizenship executive order.
While President Trump seems assured of scoring a victory from the Supreme Court in these cases, a win will do little to stop the lower courts from continuing to flood the country with nationwide injunctions interfering with the Trump Administration’s execution of its American-first agenda.
The reason why is simple: The issue before the Supreme Court is narrow and does not concern the propriety of nationwide injunctions in cases brought under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
And the majority of nationwide injunctions entered against the Trump Administration since the president returned to Washington came in cases challenging decisions under the APA.

Utah Oil Tycoon James Jensen and Wife Arrested in $300M Mexican Oil Smuggling Scheme — Feds Raid $9.2M Mansion with Battering Ram
Federal agents have arrested Utah oil magnate James Lael Jensen, his wife Kelly Anne Jensen, and two of their sons, Maxwell Sterling Jensen (aka “Max”) and Zachary Golden Jensen, in connection with a sprawling $300 MILLION smuggling and money laundering conspiracy tied to Mexican criminal organizations.
Court records reveal that all four members of the Jensen family were arrested on Wednesday, April 23 — with sons Max and Zachary taken into custody in the Rio Grande Valley, while James and Kelly Jensen were apprehended at their 26,893-square-foot mansion in Sandy, Utah, reportedly worth over $9.1 million.
The arrest was carried out by the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Apprehension Team, equipped with a battering ram and tactical gear, according to KSLTV.

President Trump Extends Olive Branch to Iran with a Firm Warning: Peace or I will Inflict Maximum Pressure
“I’m here today to not condemn the past chaos of Irans leaders, but to offer them a new path to a far better and more hopeful future.
As I’ve shown repeatedly. I am willing to end past conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even if our differences may be very profound.
My mother in law, now 98, was a Jewish child immigrant from Germany in 1938 or 39 (not actually on the KinderTransport). Her parents also later managed to escape to Britain before war broke out, but were interned on the Isle of Man as enemy aliens for the duration. Most of the rest of their relations died in the #Holocaust.
The British government knew about the condition of Jews in Germany in 1939. Yet it was extremely difficult for German Jews to qualify for asylum in the UK. Of course, the systematic murder of Jews did not really get under way until after the outbreak of war, but systematic persecution was already well established. It did not become easier for European Jews to obtain asylum in the UK after the systematic killing had started.
Similarly, the UK government has known about the systematic persecution of #Palestinians in #Gaza for DECADES, yet it has been hard for Palestinians to obtain refugee status in the UK. Since the beginning of the #GazaGenocide campaign in October 2023, it has become virtually impossible.
indeed. My grandparents were refused visas and subsequent perished in the holocaust. My father survived. He died in his 90s, but lost his parents, older sister, younger brother, grandparents and other relatives.
The only difference is, eighty years ago, British factories were building the weapons which were being used to fight those committing the #Holocaust (even if stopping the Holocaust was not in itself a war aim).
Now, they're building the weapons with which the Holocaust is being committed.

With asshole mods and asshole users running amok around instances unchecked while playing victim when the favor is returned to them. I find that the fediverse as a whole is just like any other socializing platform. No different, just a different coat of paint and a neat little mechanic in how it operates. But, still the same old shit.
No, this is not the same old shit, because while yes of course humans are still humans and will do shitty human things the difference is that there is no easy way to enclose the Fediverse and force an opinion, censor people speaking out against injustice. or hold the entire network hostage to push a profit for investors.
The Fediverse is still definitely vulnerable to those things, and who knows if longterm whether a large corporation or constellation of authoritarian regimes can critically undermine the Fediverse (we will certainly see attempts at some point), but no matter what happens, anybody can still spin up their own instance of Mastodon, Lemmy or any other fediverse software and start creating a new community.
From the perspective of an authoritarian ruling class, the problem of quelling dissent in the masses has gone from buying the one or two tv conglomerate networks that provide news for 100s of millions of people, buying Twitter and sabotaging it, or buying Reddit and paying someone to manipulate it with bots and ban people saying things they don't like, to a Sisyphean hell of having to keep stamping out Fediverse communities wherever they pop up, in whatever country or legal context they happen to pop up all over the globe.
If you think that the Fediverse taking off and reaching a critical mass where lots of people use it daily for normal social media stuff isn't a strategic failure for the dictators and ruthless capitalists willing to create mass murder if it nets them a profit, I don't know what to tell you...
editmaybe this is going too into the conspiracy weeds here to be useful to conjecture about, but until the Fediverse took off virtually ALL online communities with any vibrancy were moving to Discord, and it scared the hell out of me because it would have made the attempt to silence dissent right now across the world and more specifically in my country a trivial task if there was simply no alternative that was anywhere near ready to function for people as a basis for their community. Corporate social media is full of voices refusing to be silenced about the Palestinian Genocide... but would those activists feel so comfortable and would corporate social media companies feel restrained at all if there was no truly no alternative to their social network for communicating online?
I will never forget how almost everybody in my life would basically laugh at me years ago when I voiced concern about Discord vacuuming up seemingly every significant online community, but just think about how right now would be vastly different if activists had NOWHERE to go online if they got banned from Twitter or Discord or Reddit............
What is a black hole? Well, the name is actually a little misleading because black holes aren’t actually holes. They’re regions in space that have a gravitational pull that is so strong that nothing can escape, not even light.
