If Mamdani loses the general that should be a wake up call to Americans that even the illusion of their democracy is dead. The man behind the curtain isn’t even hiding anymore.

Meaning, if Mamdani loses it is only because the full forces of the capitalist class from both of their parties were able win.

You seem to think that there is some major difference between New York and some southern town in Georgia for example. And to many degrees there are. But it’s not because the people have fundamentally different wants and goals. The people throughout this country want a good job, a place to live, healthcare, and an end to wars of the empire. The major difference between them is how their concent is manufactured.

The difference isn’t in policy or even in politics. The difference is in the ability to break through the existing lies they are distracted by. Racism, xenophobia, queerphobia, etc.

Most working class people in America will be open to progressive policies when they see them actually implemented successfully in major blue cities.

I’m not saying to run as a socialist in Savannah, GA. I’m saying that we do not give away ground. We continue to push for further leftists politicians like Mamdani where we can win. And that will literally shift the entire nations politics.

These are the only wins we can hope for in electoral politics right now. Because by the time we’re voting for another president it’s going to be to late. The fascist state will have been fully established.

Yeah. We should keep running more milk toast politicians with vague policies like “affordability” or “abundance” (I think that’s their new term for more neoliberalism now) that’ll show em!

Dude, free busses, rent control, and public grocery stores are not some “far left” policy. They are standard in much of the world.

The Democratic party is the failure that it is today BECAUSE they tried to convince you that democratic socialist policies would not win. They do. Fucking Kentucky has a publicity owned and operated Internet provider. There is nothing radical or far left about Mamdani’s policy plans.

The only people that use to drive through there were tourists that put the location in their GPS and then got stuck.

Them and delivery/Uber drivers.

Ugh. The amount of Uber drivers that actually dropped people off in the middle of Pike Plac was infuriating.

Not really. Could be something entirely fine but requiring monthly medication. If you can’t afford that. You’re fuck.

We have people rationing insulin in this country for Christ sake.

For a lot of people in this country it’s hording. But I get what you mean.

I’m talking about the normalization of Islamphobia that followed. Racism towards Arabs in this country has reached the point of 1930s Germany and it’s antisemitism.

You not easily recognizing it isn’t your fault. But you denying it and playing defense for it is absolutely your fault. Do better.

Because he was a child. Sadly he wasn’t even given the chance to grow up and learn what the police really are.

This. People can make more in the US because the country doesn’t give a fuck about it’s people. It’s like gambling the health and wellness of you and your family to horde up some Cash.

ICE will absolutely be outside every voting box just waiting to harass anyone with an even slight tan.

You’re not wrong. America has used Gaza as a testing ground for their suppression and terror on population. The biggest difference is that Palestinians are united against their occupiers and even still are resisting the fascist Ethnostate of Israel. They have perfected their terror in drone and AI weapons.

We, we are not united. And we have too many liberals standing on the sidelines hoping the next vote will make things normal again.

Absolutely. ICE should not feel safe getting out of their vans. Especially in Blue cities.

In Seattle one thing we’ve been doing is trashing the exit of the ice facility with those green scooters. Blocks their vehicles. Every little bit helps.

Yeah. The ballot box method is over guys. Any vote that’s even close is gonna be “guarded” by ICE agents. They’re about to hire every racist Trump supporter in every state with their budget. This is it. We are past the Rubicon and I can’t even see it when I look back at the horizon.

This administration is not worried about votes.

Fuck ICE and all. But Jesus Christ the level of resistance needs to be stronger. These brown shirts need to be afraid to get out of their vans. They shouldn’t be able to get onto school grounds. Let alone piss in them.

Fuck these Nazis.

If there is ever justice for Palestine the trials will be short. These bastards are so proud of their support for genocide.

I think being born during the time of 9/11 has broken your and many Americans brains. Muslim fear mongering and racism is such a fundamental part of America that you can’t seem to recognize how insane what she said was.

So much so that a half ass “apology” like she gave is enough for you I guess.

I did a “rm -rf *” in the wrong directory today.

I got the absolutely beautiful “argument list too long” in return.

I had a backup. But holy shit I’m glad the directory had thousands of files in it and nothing happened. First time I got that bash error and was happy.

I usually have rm aliased to “trash” or whatever that cli based recycle bin is. But just installed a new OS and ran this on a NAS folder today by mistake.

I’ve heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can’t say I’ve tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it’ll be like she’s sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.

Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate “grandma” setup. Connect her router/modem power to remote power cycle. But I digress.

For some reason I get permission errors on jellyfin every time I use it. Never with Plex. I’ve gone through the steps to fix it before. But when you change your shit as much as I do. I just stay with Plex because it’s plug and play. And I have the pass. I don’t have the time to fuck with stupid shit with jellyfin.

Plex still good for the boys that bought the lifetime pass. I understand why people would change. But it’s still the best plug and play option. Waiting until they break the “lifetime” thing and fuck us over.
