You may be right, but often Socialist means Social Democrat or Progressive Liberal.

I met a self proclaimed Socialist the other day and she wrinkled her nose when I mentioned Central Planning and clarified that she was a Market Socialist, ie, not the bad kind (her words). This was before she started quoting Michelle Obama. I wish I was kidding.

Bad phrasing on my part. I was not “looking into it.”

Oh, the latter. But I agree, completely implausible. The coincidence just jumped out at me so I mentioned it. I wasn’t trying to be sly. In a larger sense, a growing leftist “scene” shows people are activated by Gaza, by the ICE renditions, by the brutality against the peaceful protests, by income inequality, housing insecurity…

What if the cope cages were made of drones? Is that a thing because it seems like it could be a thing.

On an unrelated note, have you seen any Chinese fireworks displays lately.

I really don’t know. I see posts making the point that the reaction seems muted.

There was Rubio’s Israel purity test to get a Visa, announced 2 days ago. Although I assume it was being rolled out anyway.

It is the fascist playbook to crack down harder and harder.

Conditions are riper than ever for organizing. Mind your op-sec, as always.

I get your point but use your imagination. They will widen the net and ramp up the brutality.

The internet limits the scope of “optimism” that can be expressed.

I’m watching a video of the ICE raid in San Diego and there’s a man interviewed who “asked to be identified as John Brown”

It was around the same time had an event not too far away. And they don’t have many events in this (notably conservative) area. I’m not saying it’s related, but worth noting.

Shitty embedded vid but here’s the link

TIL there were other podcasts on Club Random besides Maher’s.

For months the site has not worked great for me, going back to before the urls were lost. Mostly it’s impossibly slow or won’t load at all. It seems to be working fine at the moment. (I’m mostly phone based) o7 to the people doing the work.
