As I understand DSA was in the core coalition of the campaign that recruited those volunteers. The most meaningful mechanism to hold him accountable would be to pull that core of volunteers from any reelection campaign.

The local chapter can expell him by vote too but that would really just be a cherry on top. Pulling volunteers is the critical one.

There's no way NYC-DSA wasn't recruiting from the volunteer pool and seeing an increase in meeting turnout during the campaign. Idk how many and how much of a priority it was though.

And how many of them are spies sent by Bill Ackman?

I'd assume NYC-DSA already has spies running surveillance for the NYPD already. Its only wreckers/saboteurs trying to get into leadership positions that you have to worry about.

What needs to happen now is you need to find the most willing to organize ones of that group, and get them into more structured organizations while the iron is hot.

The good news is that this is the baseline understanding of every organizer in the DSA. Don't make the mistakes of Occupy, build permament structured organizations.

How do those compare to M-150s?

It really depends on where the calendar itself is hosted and what is responsible for syncing it. There's a bunch of different standards and protocols for syncing calendars and you have to filter apps by what they support.

But if its syncing to Ms365 and you need it to run on windows then Thunderbird is probably your only option. Otherwise there's stuff like KOrganizer or GNOME Calendar.

Lots of libs about to get radicalized when the Dems back an independent Cuomo campaign in the general.

This seems obvious: Non flowering plants haven't evolved ways to attract ~~pollinators~~ prey. What non-flowering plants deliberately attract animals?

Who's missiles going where? Is it Iran shooting at US bases or visa-versa? Or is this Iran following through with shutting down Hormuz? Bonus guess: Israel has declared war on Al Jazeera?

They can't just chill and be happy with getting away with genocide. They need existential threat.

 

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.

 

Yes their both fascists of a decaying empire but you need to vote for the lesser fascist.

The OP is one of the semi-weekly Have you considered how bad Gaza will be under Trump? posts on lemmy.world. Obviously these people dont give a shit about Palestinians or else they'd have different priorities. So there's no point actually trying to debate them because they aren't being honest. Its just wild to see how far they will bend to the left's framing and rhetoric while offering them absolutely nothing.

I bet I can get one to say "Please vote for the turd currently sponsoring a white-supremacist settler-colonial apartheid state's genocide of the indegenious population, or else the other turd will sponsor it more." if I said it would make me vote for Biden and I was in a swing state. They're so fucking desperate. My man, that shit ain't gonna work. The jpeg of a hundred mediocre things Biden's done because you couldn't point to any one good thing was working more than this.

PS: Of course they said yes to the bottom question.
