As an individual, you’re mostly just stuck with “symbolic solidarity”.

Ideally you would have prepared beforehand and talked with your fellow employees. Hopefully, as a group, you all would decide to take part in the general strike with some prepared talking points and statements to be made to your employer/customers/local media.

Ideally, on such a large scale, the impact could be in the “All of them combined” category.

Your paid time off is your pay, its something you’ve earned and your employer owes you. Use it.

The Los Angeles Times reported that demonstrators hit the U-Haul and ripped off a sign attached to the vehicle that had a message in Arabic and another in English: “No Shah. No Regime. USA: Don’t Repeat 1953. No Mullah.”

Four people killed after starving Palestinians burst into UN food warehouse in Gaza

Hmm… who was killed? Oh… it was four Palestinians.

Why did they have to “burst” into a warehouse? Oh… the doors were closed and people with guns where trying to keep the Palestinians from being able to get something to eat as they are being intentionally starved by the Israeli government.

“Hordes of hungry people broke into WFP’s al-Ghafari warehouse…"

Hordes of Palestininans being intentionally starved

“Humanitarian needs have spiralled out of control after 80 days of complete blockade of all food assistance and other aid into Gaza,” the statement said. “Gaza needs an immediate scale-up of food assistance. This is the only way to reassure people that they will not starve.”

Incorrect, more food aid being sent isn’t going to be able to get through the Israeli state’s ability to restrict the flow for the purpses of genociding the Palestinians.

If nobody has money to buy land and build a house, doesn’t this just mean well capitalized entities like Blackrock will just be able to put twice as many rental properties on a lot?

“I was told to bed myself down for three nights and wait for someone to turn up.”

That’s some “Grimm’s Fairytales” level of broken.

So… what you’re saying is, during an actual ongoing war, any civilian causalities should be used as a pretext to continue the war that is resulting in civilian causalities?

Makes perfect sense.

All the more reason to move forward with peace talks, right?

The longer shit goes on, the most desperate things get, the more accidental and intention targeting of civilians becomes for both countries.

Weird way to allow the Russian courts to make new legal precedents.

There different reasons for wanting privacy or advocating for for personal data privacy and implimenting strategies to support that.

If ever you are in trouble with the state or make the wrong person on the internet angry, the more you’ve publically shared the easier it will be for them to find something to use against you. So… you can try not to get on anybody’s bad side to limit that possibility or you can do your best to compartmentalize your online activities.

It should be possible to ask for help or show vuneralbility online without telling anybody (or thing) absolutely everything about you every time.

When both parties are conservative parties, everybody gets to be a right winger no matter what color your jersey is.

That is a very hard to understand headline…

School superintendent put on leave after ex-teacher husband is arrested on [CP] parole violation

Probably should be,

School superintendent’s husband arrested on CP parole violation, superintendent put on leave

The Israeli military should stop using Israeli citizens as human shields then.

No. As much as there are cynical takes about accelerationism by us tankies, no.

Capitalism in a state of crisis cranks up the dial on fascism. Shit is going to get really bad for a whole lot of people who don’t have the power to survive the violence of an unashamedly fascist state.

People being snatched up and disappeared to other countries, is a bad thing.

People being unable to get a job or healthcare due to being a member of one minority group or another is a bad thing.

Destroying the systems that try to keep our food and water safe(ish) to eat and drink is a bad thing.

Destroying universal vaccination programs and seeing outbreaks of diseases that were considered contained to the point of being erradicated is a bad thing.

There is not enough of a coherent “left” in the USA to be the vanguard that marshalls the workers you think are going to be comrades against Trump, Fascism, and ultimately Capitalism.

Don’t go there unless you want violent communist revolution

I mean, it doesn’t have to be violent but beggars can’t be choosers.

Find some place… as an example, hexbear’s instance has c/slop… to drop a link to the offending user’s comment or post and whatever happens… happens.

You’ve got the option of Reporting the post/comment to the moderators. Which will require you knowing the moderation rules of the community in question to take advantage of.

Short bullet point/talking point responses. Replies with things like, “This is racist/sexist/genocide denial/etc”, then disengage. You don’t need to get into a long drawn out comment war/debat bro situation.

Make fun of them for being a goober.

How many years has Russia been bogged down in Ukraine now?

Went from salting our hashes to salting or posts

Ukraine legacy is on display as the Administration refuses to level with Congress and the American public about its strategy to win the war.

I guess nobody really cares to keep up the act that the USA had nothing to do with instigating this war and keeping it going all these years anymore, huh?

Damn… reality needs to stop making my Uncle Ted right about things…
