I can't believe the Democratic Party of the US is heading into another catastrophic election season without working out a better plan for Gaza.

I can't believe the Democratic Party of the US is heading into another catastrophic election season without working out a better plan for Gaza. It's going to split the party, again, and maybe cost them the election, again.
@evan Based on the analysis I've read, Gaza didn't split the party last time, at least not in a way that made a difference. In terms of vote counts, Democratic candidates did well in swing states, comparable to 2020, but Republican turnout was significantly higher than usual. Not a defense of the Democratic party or platform though.

I say this as I fund my pro-Palestinian, pro-arms-embargo primary challenger in #sanfrancisco
It's interesting to see men of South Asian descent involved in progressive politics in the USA. There's probably a lot of conflation of ethnic backgrounds in voters' minds.
If pushed, I'd estimate that a double-digit percentage of the New York electorate believes mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is Arab.
Maybe that will happen with Chakrabarti also.

@evan pretty simple plan this time: arms embargo on Israel, authorize use of military force to protect a humanitarian mission in Gaza, and push a Palestinian state.
@mcnado it's honestly what we'd do anywhere else without a second thought.

@evan I'd prefer a better position from many elected Dems, but I don't think a lack of one hurts them in the house elections. Someone could maybe make the case for harm in specific Senate races. They can run on anti-Trump sentiment do well.

@elplatt and Democrats stayed home.

@evan He's African-American, no?

@evan It's just not true. Look at the swing states. A comparable number of Democrats voted in 2020 and 2024.

@elplatt about half a million fewer in swing states with raw numbers.

@evan If the democratic party wants to fracture over foreign policy...while a fascist movement is gaining strength, they deserve the pain.
@ethanOS I agree. We have to concentrate on our shared values, like democracy, multiculturalism and fundamental human rights.

@benzinazero so entrambe le cose, volevo solo dire che ci sono casi in cui si tratta di mancanza di volontà ma anche casi in cui è oggettivamente meno facile usare la bici

Era un'uomo che dialogava co sinistri wok, li smontava co la dialettica e poi metteva er video su Youtub cor titolo "Ciarlie sfonna na stronza femminista" o "Ciarlie fa a pezzi un cojone che vole i diritti ai negri" 😍 ❤️
Er mio idolo da senpre. Peccato solo de nun averlo mai sentito nominà prima che lo sparavano 🥲

Vecchi errori
@anarchia
Ricopio qui sotto un articolo pubblicato sul settimanale anarchico Umanità Nova, numero 2 del 22 gennaio 2006, Anno 86. Lo faccio per due ragioni: perché, contrariamente a quello che avevo scritto nel finale dell’articolo alla fine, anche se dopo anni, si...Vedi l'articolo

@marcoboh 1. esistono le biciclette elettriche a pedalata assistita; 2.. A Tokyo il 70% dei cittadini usa la bici almeno una volta alla settimana, il 15% tutti i giorni. Non è una città 'piccola' e non è tutta in pianura.

At Piefed office hours, rimu@piefed.social and I got to talking about what's next for Piefed and the Threadiverse WG.
One of those things is moving stuff between communities (or in bbs parlance: moving topics between categories/forums).
Rimu suggested we use the already-existing as:Move activity, sent by the community (a group actor), with origin and target set, and with object being the post id itself.
I suggested we update this to use the resolvable context collection as object instead, which Piefed has supported since v1.2.
That should be enough to get a proof-of-concept implementation going between Piefed and NodeBB... a question remained as to whether this should be Announce(Move(Object)) or simply Move(Object).
Argument for former was that it was similar verbiage to other 1b12 actions.
Argument for the latter was that this is merely 1b12 adjacent and needn't follow prior art.
We'll likely put together an FEP for this.
