It can't be overstated

Putin is getting a huge return on his money. EU asleep as the far right spends and spends and spends and hammers on unfettered immigration

And it works.

@flexghost Different take. Europe has thrown itself in the arms of US-NATO its warmongering and supremacists ideologies see Gaza, see defense spending ballooning. Embraced buying american dirty and expensive energy, liking it. It would have been easier not to corner Russia, push puppets in Ukraine, not follow USs bombs over diplomacy solutions. Bringing Israel to account. Also, not modelling their economies on that of the US that only outputs misery and riches en masse, and fascism for all.

@DrALJONES Second generation settler-colonialists showing solidarity to 3rd generation settler-colonialists. Shame on them.

@dacig@mastodon.social avatar

@DrALJONES I was thinking of waves of settler-colonialists. Countries like mine, México were a first long wave, then came Australia, US, South África, Argentina maybe. Third one would be essentially Israel. 2nd wave shows a lot of solidarity with Israel. Except for South África of course.

"CBS News, in partnership with The Trace and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, reviewed records from hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the United States and found that many had routinely resold or traded in their used duty weapons -- a practice that has sent thousands of guns into the hands of criminals.”

The new account timeline feels so empty, so pardon me while I furnish it with this @Vox infographic of how the US had somewhat decent passenger rail and got rid of most of it.

"The decline of passenger railway service in the US 1962 - 2006" A line map of the continental US in white on grey. A fast-moving 48-frame animated GIF shows lines that are Non-Amtrak, have service less than daily, service daily, service 3+ times daily, and service 6+ times daily. The source is the National Association of Railway Passengers. The initial frame shows service > 6x/day on much of the East Coast, routes in Chicago and major Midwestern cities as well as routes from LA to Las Vegas and from SF to Sacramento in California. Much of the rest of the map has major routes going 3x daily and more that are less frequent. Even having been reduced by 1962, it's still remarkably good coverage of a large nation. It drops off hard by 1967, and even more by 1971. Some lines are restored by 1975, likely in response to the OPEC crisis, but start to get reversed again after Reagan is elected. But it never goes back to the relatively good coverage of 1962. It is still largely 6x/day or more on popular commuter lines in New England, Chicago to Milwaukee, LA to San Diego, and SF to Sacramento.

@meganL @Vox It's gotten worse Even in Europe for regional lines. Here in México we are trying to re-invigorate passenger trains, theres of course the tren Maya, but also the trans-istmico. Prívate raíl operators that where handed over lines in the late 90s privatization drive are being forced to either reinstate passenger service or get their asses nationalized. Maybe getting somewhere...

@meganL This is what trains looked like in France 100 years ago vs now. before car-centrism.

    In 5 months Israel extracted 2 hostages through bombing Gaza while killing 30,000 Palestinians.

    Meanwhile diplomatic negotiations during the temporary ceasefire led to the release of 136 hostages & 0 Palestinians killed.

    Yes diplomacy. No killing. Stop this atrocity.

    @JamesTown_ @Migueldeicaza The goal is destruction. Of culture, livelihoods health and education infrastructure homes families , memories, parks orchards, trees and also buildings, and Palestinian people. Obliteration. So that the remaining Palestinians are driven elsewhere, the desert, Egypt. ..Who cares? Most Israelis many ‘mricans and Europeans don’t. Genocide is not wiping a people to the last person, it’s doing your worst to erase them from the face of earth.

    Mark this moment. It may not seem like it, but this is the moment when the United States—the United States the world has known for better than a century—died. This is the moment when every ally saw we were feckless and every enemy breathed out in relief. The Republicans aren’t helping Trump. They’re setting the world ablaze.

    And they don’t even know why.

    @cakeisnotalie @dacig @Devilstower Every war has found an end, and most via some kind of diplomatic solution. More so, many wars have been averted via diplomacy. But of course this last war is special and unique, and this last evil enemy is more badder… Liberals like opposing every war except the current war. And the US has had current wars for over 90% of its history,150% if you count proxy wars. Maybe Putin is not the issue, or Sadam, evil Iranians, communists…

    A broad cross section of Germans are taking to the streets and the squares to protest the rise of the far-right in German politics.

    Their brilliant slogan:
    In English,

    I hope the slogan goes viral, whether in German or in translation. It reflects exactly what is needed: for lots of us to show up together, and not allow the far right fascists to take over.

    WE are the firewall.
