Politico: US commentators Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur denied UK entry. “Britain has barred left-wing U.S. commentators Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker from entering the U.K. Uygur — a Turkish-American political activist who hosts the ‘Young Turks’ YouTube channel — and his nephew Piker, a prominent Twitch streamer, were due to speak at the SXSW London Conference this week, and then at Oxford […]

"A secret #bunker, an underground #tunnel and an armband bearing the #StarofDavid are among the rare findings in a house in southern #Poland that was used by #Jews, including young members of the #resistance, to hide from the #Nazis.

“This armband is a witness, it’s like directly touching that evil which people created for other people,” Karolina Jakoweńko from the #CukermansGateFoundation, which organized the search, told The Associated Press. Seeing it felt like a “jolt," she said.

#Jakoweńko spoke inside a two‑story redbrick house in the town of #Bedzin, within the former #Jewish #ghetto during the #WorldWarII. The house served as the site of a “#kibbutz” organized by youth from #leftwing #Zionist groups — in this case, a network that relied on each other to try to ensure its members survived and resisted the Nazi occupiers.

Each piece of rubble may hide a treasure."

I was watching a video with Matt Kennard in it and he mentioned how during the rise in #fascism in both Italy and Germany, the right took advantage of the disenfranchised while the left was not well organised.

This is what's happening now in the US and UK and probably a lot of Europe.

I think about things like this and I think about the role of tech. I'm pretty certain for the left to be properly organised they need independent means of communication that are not corporate owned. The censorship on corporate platforms prevents meaningful discussion, and the left need safe spaces to says the things they need to say without fear of censorship or arrest.

I also think more organisation needs to be in the real world. That is, an actual network of people meeting regularly. And I think at first, this group would be better simply to quietly work out a strategy rather than to join protests and make noise.

But also, if a rise in fascism is coming and people's powers are diminished, there needs to be a strong counter force to that. A network of people ready to resist. And that needs to be outside of corporate channels.

Co łączy liberałów i konserwy?

W sumie są tym samym, ale jedno używa flagi i karnacji skóry jako argumentu, że są postępowi...
