@reflex I think there are a lot of light-woke liberals going Full Woke at this moment in time. But don't really know what to do with that. That's what I mean by leadership. It doesn't have to be via the Dems. Lots of ways that could happen. My talents don't lean towards organizing, or Id' have something more specific to say about how that might look. But American politics has completely flipped on its head before my lifetime, where the established orders fall apart and something new happens.
Thing is, even liberals, when polled, want progressive or even socialist/communist policies, or even want the whole system rebooted. Dems are not providing what they want. That's what I mean by leadership. If that's a conversion effort to "The Left" or a new party or just influencers giving people the messaging we talk about on here all the time about mutual aid, etc. Rather than dismissing them, "Oh liberals are the problem." Most liberals don't even have the context to know what that means, and I don't see why they can't be given that context.
I do agree that a focus on communities is where it's at. Local is always where it starts. And this is where I'm a hypocrite. It's something I'm not very good at, especially given my disabilities. I have shown up at a few local things, and made contact with the human rights taskforce, etc. I do what I can.

The #Iran war and impact on fuel costs have the same solution as the Russian invasion of #Ukraine - #GreenEnergy
European leaders should announce a national mobilisation effort to build distributed renewables - incl European production of solar panels. Build on gov and military sites. Subsidise homes.
This will break the #FossilFuel monopoly forever.
Trump’s Threats to Europe Put Its Leaders in a Double Bind Over Iran https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/world/europe/iran-trump-hormuz-europe-dilemma.html
European politicians risk angering their voters if they join America’s war. Yet they could also face domestic upheaval if they take no action to reopen shipping routes that Iran has blocked and ease an energy crisis.
Friendly reminder: last year I built FediMod FIRES, a protocol and reference server implementation for sharing moderation data.
I haven't yet been able to get anyone to adopt it or even signal intent to adopt. But regularly I see people complaining about the lack of data sharing when it comes to moderation, especially for combating spam, scams, and harassment. The tool is there, please use it!
Whilst I'm not actively working on FediMod FIRES this quarter, I did apply in November for a grant to continue that work, and last I heard a few weeks ago is that the grant made it to the next stage, so I may have some money again to fund development.
It's not 1.0.0 yet, because I decided it needed more work for me to be happy to call it that, but it is usable!
Installation is also super simple for data producers, literally two commands on debian or ubuntu boxes.

Trump Aligns With Putin - Again!
The Trump regime has made its offer of security guarantees needed for a peace deal in Ukraine conditional on Kyiv ceding all of the country's eastern region of Donbas to Russia, President Zelensky told Reuters in an interview.

I agree with @Caitoz 100%.
And attending "No Kings" isn't tolerable as "baby's first protest, to get them ready for more effective protests later." Fuck that bullshit.
"No Kings" is a Dem party psy op to misdirect anger back toward supporting the same evil system that made ICE and Trump possible.
It's not a step forward, it's a step back.
Fake "leftists" like Mamdani, Bernie, and AOC, and psy op "protests" like "No Kings" and 50501 are immensely harmful for the same reason: Contrary to what your naive mind might think, it's not a baby step forward in the right direction, it exists to misdirect anger toward supporting the evil system.
That anger should be channeled into actually disruptive and possibly violent protest and revolution to overthrow capitalism/fascism... Yesterday.
Until that happens, fascism continues and more people die.
By stopping badly needed revolution, Mamdani, AOC, Bernie, "No Kings," etc. are amongst the most harmful politicians.
"The problem with the 'No Kings' protests is right there in the title. They’re saying 'We don’t want a king, we want a president!' But Donald Trump is not a king. He is a president. And that’s the real problem: US presidents are extremely evil men who do extremely evil things...
Trump is not some freakish aberration; he is the product of the same American political status quo as his predecessors. He became president the same way they did, and the powers he now wields were given to his office via mundane executive, legislative and judicial decisions and precedents before he was ever elected.
But because the 'No Kings' protests are organized by liberal defenders of that same political status quo, the demonstrations cannot address any of this. The whole thing is designed to be as large and inclusive as possible while also ensuring that it doesn’t disrupt the established order in any meaningful way. They make no real demands. They coordinate the demonstrations with police and government officials. Protesters show up for a few hours with their brunch signs and their orange guy shirts, and then they go home without inconveniencing anybody...
The problem is US presidents, not kings. The problem is the US empire, not Trump. The United States needs drastic, revolutionary change, not daytime protests designed to be as inoffensive as possible. As long as Americans are protesting against fictional monarchies and easily replaceable oligarchic puppets instead of resisting the actual imperial machine, the abuses are going to continue."
