Just a friendly reminder: the way we hold politicians accountable to the will of the people is boycotts and strikes. Voting alone, even if your team wins, will never be useful without that accountability.

after a phone call where the employer account specialist could not tell me how to identify which login *does* have permission to access the account, I waited 20 min to chat and then they wrote “One moment while I review your information” and then closed the chat immediately. Was that a question?!

Mexico: *starts reaping gains from more socialist policies and replaces entrenched oligarchs including democratically electing entire supreme court.*
US: You can’t even visit our carceral slavery/human trafficking-based country anymore!

This single screenshot from the Wikipedia page on the Sicilian Worker’s Leagues goes so fucking hard. They declared the unions and uprisings to be crisis actors paid by S̶o̶r̶o̶s̶ France, so they sent the military to invade the region, banned unions, killed/imprisoned socialists, and purged voter rolls.
![From the Wikipedia page on Sicilian Workers Leagues (Fasci; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasci_Siciliani) the end of the section titled “Rising Tensions” is followed by the start of the “Crackdown”section. If you are familiar with the state of the US, this all should feel very familiar:
The disorders were not the product of a revolutionary plot, but Crispi chose to believe otherwise. On the basis of dubious documents and reports, Crispi claimed that there was an organised conspiracy to separate Sicily from Italy; the leaders of the Fasci conspired with the clerics and were financed by French gold, and war and invasion was looming. (33][431(44]
Crackdown
On January 3, 1894, Crispi declared a state of siege throughout Sicily. Army reservists were recalled and General Roberto Morra di Lavriano
was dispatched with 40,000 troops. 45][46] The old order was restored through the use of extreme force, including summary executions.[33] The Fasci were outlawed, the army and the police killed scores of protesters, and wounded hundreds. Thousands of militants, including all the leaders, were put in jail or sent into internal exile.[31] Some 1,000 persons were deported to the penal islands without trial. All working-class societies and cooperatives were dissolved and the freedom of the press, meeting and association were suspended. A solidarity revolt of anarchists and republicans in the Lunigiana was crushed as well.[33] The government also seized the opportunity to 'revise' the electoral registers. In Catania 5,000 of the 9,000 electors were struck off.[47]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ln55xirtjyfhflkvkhl44txq/bafkreiasondmaivtx4zwq3tqr3xkseal3tjxdujvjehu3ai453popi7psu@jpeg)

Last night I was trying out the new brushes in Procreate while listening to Hasan Piker going over the Kirk memorial and accidentally made an album cover for the rapture.

Oof! Trying to rebuild on mastodon and see all these people wearing N95s and talking about how caring for others is not weakness or fear, and then realizing last post was 2022 and many have completely flipped since then.

Remember how we all sang along to Ding Dong the Witch is Dead when we watched the Wizard of Oz? Do the Dems and Neolibs have a new take on that now?

I just saw last week’s Politico article on how @ama-assn.org wants to work with RFK Jr including this quote:
"A large majority of the AMA, including those on the left, do feel like he is representative of our views and has our concerns at heart," said Dr. Ray Lorenzoni, an AMA delegate.

Yes, the executive auditor is expected to censor grants based on these characteristics of the grant recipient. The target is not the content of the grant by itself, it is the grant recipient and employed staff.

And guess who took the lead in US Lobbying $ starting in 2020 (picking up since 2008 for some reason)? National Association of Realtors. They literally spend half as much in non-election years, so they're clearly buying elected officials. Wonder if they like work from home? Source opensecrets.org

Ya think we might have a problem in the states? As far as I know, there are no laws limiting speech (and remember divestment/investment is speech in the US) about any other foreign country. Just Israel.

I hope Madison and Milwaukee are ready for this. They already arrested a judge and threatened to arrest our governor. The time for denial is over. Get ready, make sure you have networks of people who are working together to take care of each other.

You can assign a shortcut to Quick Actions (AKA Context Menus) to just wipe out all arguments after the question mark and it almost never causes the URL to fail to share (with the exception of some amazon links). I did the same with a javascript bookmarklet in browser.

I went five years, lost tons of friends and acquaintences due to my strict precautions, endured ridicule from strangers, skipped many opportunities that would have helped our clinic and my life, only to get COVID during an outdoor visit with a careless relative. SMH
