Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.

I’m a LOTR nut and we actually look at it as a good outcome if no more LOTR shit can be made, period. I guess Trek is not like that, though a lot of people seem to think some shows/movies should never have been made. Just trying to offer a positive spin on franchise death.

Lebanese PM Nawwaf Salam has condemned Iran for Israel’s war of aggression in southern Lebanon, in a deranged interview with the Murdoch Times. Nawaaf claimed that Tehran rejected a supposed ‘ceasefire’ ‘deal’ in Israel’s invasion of Lebanon because: Tehran wanted to say Lebanon is a card in our pocket, that ‘we decide on Lebanon’s behalf … we are the decision-makers’. The one-sided ‘deal‘ involved Israel being free — its usual modus operandi — to continue attacking and seizing territory in southern Lebanon. By contrast, resistance group Hezbollah would have to cease all operations, lay down its arms and leave the territory, giving the invaders free rein. But Israel would supposedly stop bombing Beirut. Instead, Iran has continued to refuse any ceasefire in its own war with Israel and the US that does not include Israel leaving all Lebanese territory and ceasing all aggression against Lebanon. And when Israel bombed Beirut this week, on 8 June 2026, Iran struck Israel in retaliation, having warned the occupiers it would do so. Lebanon’s ‘Vichy’ government Despite Shia Muslims forming the largest group in Lebanon, Lebanon’s so-called ‘National Pact’ mandates that the country’s president must always be a Maronite Christian and its prime minister a Sunni Muslim — while the speaker of parliament is Shia Muslim. Salam’s government is widely considered a ‘Vichy‘ regime collaborating with its occupiers. This collaboration has led to accusations of “high treason” and “servile collaboration” with Israel and its US backers despite Israel’s bombing of Beirut. This has triggered renewed street protests against the regime demanding resistance to Israel’s invasion. Salam clearly isn’t listening, too busy parroting his sponsors’ narrative that absolves Israel of its land theft and murder and blames Iran for daring to resist.

We recently reported that Xbox seems to be having some troubles, with significant layoffs and a 100-day plan on the cards to bring the ship around. Some of Microsoft’s issues include plummeting revenue, an affordability crisis, and low adoption rates. According to Xbox Gaming’s Chief Stragety Officer, Matthew Ball, ad-supported tiers may be one potential tool to help improve things at Xbox. In an interview with The Game Business, Ball addresses the rising costs of gaming, saying that “the costs have gone up way too high on development, and at the same point, everyone feels terrible with prices going up on hardware or software or microtransactions. That is a challenge. It’s not good if that is the only option.” He goes on to compare it to streaming, noting that the vast majority of new streaming subscriptions in recent years have been on supported subscription tiers. The comparison to ad-supported streaming services suggests Ball is mostly talking about services like Xbox Game Pass, where there have been rumors of ad-supported tiers, or potentially even steeper subsidies for console hardware—an area Xbox is leaning into more and more since Asha Sharma took over as CEO in early 2026.
Incarcerated activist Malik Muhammad’s standing client call in March with their lawyer had been canceled without any real explanation. When Muhammad’s attorney, Lauren Regan, went to check their status on the Oregon Inmate Tracker, she found nothing. They seemed to have vanished without a trace. Friends and family feared the worst. Muhammad, an army veteran and activist serving the longest federal sentence of any 2020 Black Lives Matter protester, had been a target inside the state prison because of their outspoken political beliefs and organizing efforts while incarcerated, several of their friends and supporters told The Intercept. “We were calling everyone,” said Christopher Kuttruff, a close friend and supporter. “We were terrified that they were in the hospital or dead …your mind obviously goes to the worst places.” For weeks, the activist disappeared from all tracking systems. The best Muhammad’s supporters could ascertain by early April was that they had been transferred to a “confidential location.” Late that month, Muhammad was able to get a letter out to their partner from Kirkland Correctional Institute, in South Carolina, an intake facility 3,000 thousand miles from Oregon — or, as Regan puts it, “as far away from me as possible.”

A federal judge may have dealt the final blow to President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “weaponization fund” on Friday, indefinitely blocking it and ordering his administration to state unequivocally that it’s no longer happening. In the face of bipartisan backlash, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche had publicly backed off plans to use the money earlier this month, and a court temporarily blocked the transfer of the money to what opponents had dubbed a “slush fund” for Trump’s supporters, including January 6 rioters who claim to be victims of government “weaponization” by the Biden administration. But The Atlantic reported on Thursday that even as the US Department of Justice (DOJ) publicly swears that the payouts are dead, administration officials have been reassuring Trump’s cronies behind the scenes that they’ll get their checks and that the administration simply needs to wait for the legal blowback to die down or find an alternative way to award them the money, which was set to follow a DOJ-brokered settlement between Trump and his own Internal Revenue Service (IRS). That may prove more difficult after Friday, however, when US District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema issued a preliminary injunction indefinitely extending her previous two-week pause on the fund. She described the arrangement, to have taxpayer funds disbursed without court rulings to “an extremely small group” that many Americans feel engaged in “unacceptable” conduct, as “problematic.” The DOJ had attempted to have the case against the fund dismissed, arguing that it was now a moot point, since Blanche had publicly declared it dead. But Brinkema said, "The [government’s] mootness argument, in my view, doesn’t go anywhere.” While the DOJ stated that the fund has “not been set up and is now not going forward," Brinkema noted that Blanche had declined to state that under oath, while Trump has publicly continued to champion the fund even as his administration has backed away from it. During the hearing in the Eastern District of Virginia, Brinkema pressed DOJ lawyer Andrew Block on why, if the fund was truly defunct, the administration had not formally rescinded the order setting it up. He said he didn’t know. The judge gave Blanche, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr., and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, whose department would have overseen the fund, one week to sign a “clear, unambiguous” declaration stating under penalty of perjury that the fund is dead, and wrote in the order that they must affirm that it “will not proceed in any manner, or under any name.” She said in order for the lawsuit to be thrown out, the government needed to put it in writing because “we don’t have the kind of absolute certainty that this fund wouldn’t rear its head.” CEO @SkyePerryman and Senior Counsel Pooja Boisture break down our major slush fund win from court. pic.twitter.com/ngneLRsl8R — Democracy Forward (@DemocracyFwd) June 12, 2026 Outside the courtroom, Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of Democracy Forward—the watchdog group that sued the DOJ—celebrated that the court had “put the brakes on Donald Trump’s slush fund.” The group is representing several plaintiffs who say they’d be harmed if the fund were to be enacted. They include a former federal prosecutor fired after leading January 6 cases; the city of New Haven, Connecticut, which has been targeted by the administration over its sanctuary policies; the National Abortion Federation, which says the fund could reward anti-abortion activists convicted of clinic-related offenses; and the watchdog group Common Cause, which argues that the opaque scheme could embolden January 6 defendants. “We were thrilled that the judge understood the significant harm that our clients face as a result of the fund, as well as the American people,” said Democracy Forward senior counsel Pooja Boisture. “We were thrilled that she got it right. She understood that this was not a partisan issue.” It remains unclear whether the order would stop the administration from pursuing other methods for rewarding Trump’s allies. Reuters reported on Friday that his legal allies have discussed dusting off a 1946 law called the Federal Tort Claims Act, which would allow individuals to file administrative claims and lawsuits that could be settled out of court with a lot of flexibility for the government. “The Trump administration cannot be trusted with the public’s money,” said Omar Noureldin, Common Cause’s senior vice president for policy and litigation. "We’ve successfully locked the president’s personal slush fund for now, and we’ll keep the pressure on until it’s shut down for good.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

Personally, I can’t wait for the about-face in 5-10 years when US xenophobia/propaganda rhetoric softens on China and dipshits start saying things like, “well that was under the CCP. The CPC are the good guys!” as if they are separate entities.

My mom is always so sure about the political landscape because of what the algorithm feeds her, she believes that everyone sees what she is seeing and knows what she knows. It’s hard to make her understand people are living in completely different worlds now, receiving completely different feeds.

I finally made the leap to Lemmy. It’s a little confusing, but it’s doing a pretty good job of scratching that reddit itch. Some random thoughts: I just need a place to spit out my random thoughts and have random conversations and make random jokes; it’s really not that demmanding. Do I miss having 400 upvotes instead of 11? Sure, but the main thing is that I’m communicating with people. Definitely get an app. I’m using Voyager on my phone with a KBM–how I mostly get around. Big difference from Reddit: Those 400 upvotes come at a cost–posts are dead within a few hours. There’s almost no point to leave a new comment in an active thread–nobody is going to see it. And there’s also no point in leaving a detailed explanation of anything on reddit for the same reason. On Lemmy, I’ll get replies to posts and comments DAYS later, and people seem more willing to be helpful; maybe because things are less contentious, and maybe it’s just people are naturally more helpful to strangers in smaller communities (see cities vs small towns)… So really, the only downside to lemmy–the small size of the population–ends up being one the best things about it. It’s definitely nice not having to compulsively check to see if my comments have been shadowbanned–which happened quite frequently and seemingly without reason on reddit. It’s nice to be in a space where I can be more frank about political remedies. It’s nice that I can view the comment histories of people I’m talking with to determine if they’re an inveterate asshole or just having a bad day (only found one asshole so far). That’s it! 10/10. I’ll try not to burn my reddit account in case I have a tough question, but I honestly think a technical question is more likely to be answered on Lemmy with it’s small platoon of nerds with little to chew on than the hordes of ignorami on reddit rapidly trying to solve everyone’s problem by free associating the title of the post.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/48650874 Once the guardian of the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus, it is now a polarizing force in the party. June 12, 2026, 5:01 a.m. ET When Brad Lander opened his Democratic primary bid for New York’s 10th Congressional District late last year, he made a promise that would once have meant political suicide: He would not do “AIPAC’s bidding” in Washington. Now the June 23 primary is almost here, and AIPAC has been a recurring theme throughout the campaign. A progressive Jew and self-described liberal Zionist, Lander challenged his opponent, the pro-Israel incumbent Dan Goldman, to take a “people’s pledge” to limit money from super PACs. He has sent a steady stream of text and email blasts comparing AIPAC with Wall Street and crypto — a new, unholy trinity of corrupting influences in democratic politics.
Morrowind kinda does this. Unlike the other Elder Scrolls games that came later, you don’t have any quest markers, or anything really to help you find where you’re looking for. Most of the quests give directions like, “follow the road south till you get to the fork in the road with a big tree. Go on the eastern branch till you find a cave entrance. If you get attacked by cliff racers you’re either on the right path or you went too far. Good luck.”

One breadfruit tree produces hundreds of pounds of tasty, nutritious fruit within a few years of being planted. Apparently all they need is high temperatures, good soil, and plenty of water. That’s it. No maintenance. Capitalists don’t use them because there’s no way to profit from them. I think I learned about this from a random tiktok video. I remembered Herman Melville’s other book, Typee, a memoir about how he ran away from a ship in the South Pacific and lived among indigenous people for six months or a year or so and had the time of his life. He loved those people, and they lived on breadfruit. All they did (simplifying obviously) was hang out, swim, and eat breadfruit. And meanwhile, we are here breaking our backs and/or brains, paying more for groceries every week while wages stagnate, and none of it has to be like this. Of course people want a little variety in their diets, of course there’s already enough food for everyone, but with breadfruit alone we could provide basic nutrition to everyone for free or next to nothing with no questions asked. Food insecurity, starvation, food deserts, malnutrition, animal suffering, pollution, none of this needs to exist. It’s all there so that the Epsteinists can buy more yachts. I know I’m preaching to the choir here but I was just thinking about this. I’m not even sure I’ve tasted breadfruit.
