I've always found the best people at foodnotbombs, which has local chapters in most cities. Start there.

What? Anarchism is generally anti-statist and socialists sure love to shoot anarchists. By the logic of AES, Anarchists should support Assad and not the YPG since one is "anti-imperialist" and the other exists due to US military support.

Homey, she's vice president today. If she gave a fuck, we wouldn't be where we are.

I mean, I get the point, but it's not like rewriting the 1917-1945 history is uncommon in Europe.

The anti Soviet museum in Lithuania doesn't talk about the Holocaust of Jewish people at all, for example.

There was a well organized campaign to promote revisionist history on the Croatian Wikipedia.

And Poland codified denialism into law.

The Jewish population of the region that used to be the Western Russian Empire remembers the violence as starting in 1917, not in 1939 when the Germans showed up. This had been a recurring thing, but nobody seems to remember that.

a variety of independent news sources.

Wikipedia is notoriously susceptible to bias when it comes to history and politics and has a noted left center bias (according to researchers at Harvard, not my words).

I'm not saying it's a terrible sources but it definitely should not be the last stop and anything controversial (or the lack thereof) isn't a meaningful indicator of whether or not something is actually true. Note the numerous examples of historical revisionism in the linked article.

You can install Plex on your mobile device and toggle the "share media from this device" setting. Otherwise, a steam deck would have everything an RPI has plus a GPU and a touch screen. Since there are two radios (2 and 5Ghz) on the device, you should be able to set it up as a bridge device, but I've not tried this personally.

I prefer the term "ballistic blender", by the way. Sounds better than knife missile.

I don't disagree, homey. Seems like the militias are going to be a growing problem regardless of the election. What we disagree on here is the solution.

For me, the solution is for the Dems to call the genocide what it is and force a ceasefire.

I'm not judging people for pulling the only lever the US system gives them. I don't advocate for voting for Trump and don't recommend anyone does, but I do understand how some people might choose to vote against the people who are currently bombing them with the hope that the only other option won't.

There are currently armed militias targeting bureaucrats for violence due to Republican misinformation. How many more escalations really remain before a full-blown civil war?

I'm not advocating for revolution, but it certainly seems more likely than the Democrats dropping their unwavering support for Israel.
