The absence of any voice from "#radical" #feminist groups in the West about the #zionist regime's rapes of #Palestinian prisoners, both men and women, says a lot about their "#radicalism". https://todon.nl/@prolrage/112886796452786900 On the contrary, the Zionist feminist narrative ran from the very beginning to reproduce an emotional lie (which turned out to be a lie) about mass rapes in the settlements attacked by the Resistance forces. This proved to be a clever move to maintain racism against "Arabs" and also worked as a preventive measure to stop active solidarity with the massacred Palestinians and their Resistance. This shows that "feminist" groups in the West are not equipped with the political tools to manage the basic propaganda tactics of the bourgeois, patriarchal system and remain in a sentimental analysis of reality - which ultimately makes them harmless and idle. And of course we can see the deep #racism against Arabs... #Palestine#Solidarity#FromTheRiverToTheSea#feminism#critics#capitalism#ClassWar
This #bandcampFriday, due to declining health I haven't much new but remixes. But I do have a roof over my head.
So I'm asking that if you might enjoy some dark oontz, #ebm, #industrial, synthpop, noise, powernoise, soundscapes, tech, house or even sound assets for music and game building, please go get all my #faircamp things for zero.
* United Auto Workers' "Stand Up Strike" could be turning point for U.S. labor movement * cross-union solidarity turns up heat on Big 3 to end tiers, make green jobs * boosts strikers’ morale & builds enduring connections

Sharks dive deep before hurricanes, Wolves howl when a storm is approaching & Snakes slither away from earthquakes. Something’s happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear. Unfortunately, our intellects don’t provide us the instinctual early warning system our animal cousins possess as plagues, massacres, political repression; Wars in Palestine, Ukraine, and Sudan, threats of nuclear weapons impose.
Both retailers were founded in Portland, and had local ownership, but that was long ago.
The stores are shells of familiar brands that siphon away local dollars. Only remaining local connections are the employees and regionally produced products.
"A second theme was evident in the choice of progressive firebrands like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and UAW president Shawn Fain, sharing the stage with institutionalists like Rep. Jamie Raskin and Hillary Rodham Clinton. These primetime slots highlighted the importance of coalition."
A broad tent. People united for a common purpose, to turn back fascism, a purpose that transcends our petty differences and squabbles. Solidarity.
Really fantastic article from Rick Perlstein. He describes here how Chicago, however imperfectly, came together and took care of migrants sent here from TX.
I love #Chicago. Over the years, I've become more angry at its reputation among many who have never been here and use it as a pillory board for all their anxieties. It's a good city with a big heart and much tougher than anything that can be thrown at us.
Whoa! It seems like Trump may have messed up by lying about the crowd size at last week's #Detroit rally, where #UAW members were out in force. Their president, Shawn Fain, just dropped a scorching ad going after him and his billionaire overlords. Never in my life have I seen anything like this before. #HarrisWalz2024#Solidarity#UnionStrong
James Davison Hunter is the distinguished UVA #sociologist whose 1991 vol “#CultureWars” first brought that term to wide attention. His fascinating new book, “#Democracy & #Solidarity,” includes an observation essential not only to rebuilding the solidarity he rightly thinks we need but also to #understanding what’s going on in the 2024 campaign. “It is critical,” Hunter writes, “that we rediscover #HumanBeings underneath the abstractions of our #inflammatory symbolic #politics.” #HarrisWalz2024
Last night, police in the UK issued warnings about another wave of far-right riots around the country.
Communities responded in force, mobilising across Britain in much larger numbers.
In the end, last night was a powerful display of tolerance, #solidarity, and anti-fascism, rather than another terrible tour of senseless destruction and hate.
We Are Many. They Are Few
Could YOU make sure you go to your barricade should there be a next time?
If you align with the ruling class you are not progressive. If you are not pro working class, you are right wing. If you are pro #capitalist, you are right wing. Feeling a certain way and self identifying a certain way does not change the definition of #workingclass#solidarity vs ruling class alignment.
Seven major #union just sent a joint letter to Biden calling on him to "immediately halt all military aid to Israel" ahead of Netanyahu’s visit to Washington: --SEIU --NEA --UAW --UE (electricians) --APWU (postal workers) --AFA (flight attendants) --IUPAT (painters) LFG!!! #Solidarity#BDS#Gaza#freepalestine
"History tells us that #fascism wins when anti-fascist forces refuse to come together to defeat it, with the center fearing a strong left committed to redistribution more than the cruelties of the extreme right."
