An NYC-DSA member explains their electoral strategy and campaign history after the success of Mamdani. Its a very long and detailed read.

One thing to note: Mamadani wasn't someone who joined DSA to get an endorsement like Bowman. He was an active member campaigning for other DSA candidate for years before hand.

IIRC the letter was sent regardless.

Twitter requires an account to view replies too though right? So is the unique obstacle is payment to make an account?

Do we not have something like xcancel for truth.social? Its just a mastadon server like bluesky right? Or maybe its been forked for a long time.

One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World.

What does this even MEAN? His brain is as cooked as Brandon's but they can't hide it. There's a very good chance he is talking about physical heat.

Holy fuck. Holy fuck. There's so much to unpack like every three sentences, but I'm stuck on this one:

Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein.

  1. OK Yes President Trump the Epstein conspiracy is exclusively the domain of the RADICAL LEFT, thank you.
  2. ActBlue?

What conspiracies does the far right have around ActBlue? Like theres the clear material explanation that this is a major source of DNC funding and the GOP wants to cut it off. But there's probably some conspiracies around it if he's begging the qanon crowd to focus on it.

ActBlue, along with NGPVan, is a major obstacle to starting a third party, such that DSA is internally constructing replacements for both of them.

No fucking way that's real. No way qanon freaks are actually making him cry like that.

  1. The Anubis homepage uses the new meta-refresh strategy which should work on lynx since its doesn't use JavaScript.
  2. I doubt you even saw an Anubis challenge. Anubis normally configured by User-Agent. IDK what lynx's User-Agent is but I bet Anubis wasn't configured to challenge it.

Related turn your app into a residential proxy.

Ethical way to monetize apps on Windows, Android, and Fire Stick

By ethical it means you bury an agreement in the terms and services.

The FSF is ideologically incapable of implementing bot management strategies because they value internet anonymity. Bot evasion strategies are literally just advanced ways of being anonymous. You can't tell if a person is a bot or not without violating their anonymity or internet freedom.

Anubis is a modest compromise. It checks if you can run JavaScript and blocks those who can't. It's not perfect. It'll block elinks/lynx users or a real person using curl. But it'll also block any bot that doesn't use a browser, which accounts for most of the volume.

The "cryptomining" and "malware" comparisons against Anubis or hyperbolic but sort of true. Proof of Work is the dumbest and most wasteful possible strategy to combat bots. It's not the hashing that stops bots, its the check if they can run JavaScript that does.

Anubis has a new javascriptless metarefresh which uses HTML to refresh the page after a few seconds. This is a much better solution than the computational proof of work, in my opinion. This line from the docs though is perplexing:

This is not enabled by default while this method is tested and its false positive rate is ascertained. Many modern scrapers use headless Google Chrome, so this will have a much higher false positive rate.

The false positive rate will be the same as proof of work minus however many bots run headless browser with JavaScript disabled. Proof of Work doesn't give you positives or negatives, it's a flat tax.

 

I've know some local orgs that could absolutely make use of a shared bank account for accepting and dispersing donations for mutual aid. The problem is these orgs are far too small to incorporate into a legal entity, have a stable mailing address, or even an official phone number. Only thing that's stable is an email address.

Most common solution I've seen is one person just has all the money. They setup a PayPal account and are responsible for receiving and dispersing all funds. This obviously isn't very secure. First there is the obvious risk of embezzlement. But assuming you've picked a trustworthy comrade, they're now more exposed and there's severe consequences if something happens to them. Like if this person is running a bail fund they might get hit with bs RICO charges and you lose all your donations.

I've tried to setup a PayPal using a google voice number but PayPal seems to recognize and block that. Crypto is supposed to address this issue but we still need dollars in and dollars out so that might be more complicated than worthwhile.

Any ideas or experience with this issue?

 

Luigi is indicted for doing terrorism for the political motive of... wanting a better healthcare system. So now Healthcare-Terrorism is now an official form of terrorism like eco-terrorism or islamic-terrorism. Its fucking absurd to be a society where that is actual real thing that exists. And not only does it exist but its already has bipartisan support amongst the public.

Like I don't actually think Luigi is a terrorist but if they're going to throw the "terrorist" label on him they should follow the reasoning through and realize what abject failures they are and commit seppuku. Yeah I'm a leader of the "free world" not some absolute joke dystopia.

Please, swing state voter, vote Harris and we swear, we promise, two Harris voters will vote 3rd party.

 

I'm not old enough to remember. I known the basics of the armed struggle of the ANC, bantustans, Cuba in Angola, etc. But not enough to compare it to Israel today. My general suspicion is Israel is worse but the US is way more committed to backing Israel than it was apartheid South Africa. I'm mostly want to gauge how the anti-apartheid movement was going then compared to now. Any resources or personal experiences.

 

Did you forget what time it is?

 

The Atlantic is calling for Biden to drop out.

Allegedly the fix is less tone deaf.

Edit: Lol y'all aren't even getting past the first image. The second one is more rage inducing IMO.

 

This person does not speak for the entire uncommitted movement. Many people participating will not be voting for Biden come November. And more importantly they won't be participating in any GotV campaigns for the general. There won't be any "heroic" GotV campaigns that carried Biden in 2020. I won't call it for Trump yet. He might not have any juice left in him either. But its going to be close.

If Biden wants my vote he can show he has the strength to twist Bibi's arm. The longer he takes the harder he better twist. His October surprise better be a No Fly Zone over Palestine, '67 borders. Obviously, he won't. But if we can pretend he will I can pretend I'll vote for him. Asking thousands of activists to not just vote for genocide but actively campaign for it is more futile than harassing Biden.

 

Feb 24, 2024.

The Indigenous Embassy in Jerusalem does not represent a specific state or country. Rather, it embodies the voices of indigenous leaders and their people from across the world.

“I want to apologize to the people of Israel for the horrible thing the South African government did. We are sorry.” Regent Xami Thomas, leader of the Khoi Kingdom of Southern Africa, delivered this message to a packed audience at the Friends of Zion Museum (FOZ) in the heart of Jerusalem on the night of February 1. The crowd cheered their approval.

Emphasis mine: this is the only Indigenous group present that was named in the article. Other groups are only mentioned by their origin country.

The guest list for the evening included ambassadors, several tribal chiefs, a princess, and a king. One by one, the indigenous leaders – all committed Christians who love and support Israel – took to the stage, bringing messages of hope, love, and encouragement to the Jewish people.

Amen.
