"New polls released this week show U.S. voters breaking just 20-30% in favor of the way ICE is enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. Polls on things like zip-tying children during raids, detaining U.S. citizens, ICE agents wearing masks, &, of course, shooting and killing citizens such as Renee Good show a public that is moving dramatically away from the president on his once-best issue."

@FediTips I gave Bluesky so many chances, I was hopeful communities like Blacksky would flourish and push decentralization, but damn, it continually feels like a leftist honeypot there, just the successor of Twitter. Stuff like this, I worry Fedi is next for enshittifcation if servers like mastodon.social keep growing unchecked.

@Mastodon

"We're forever grateful for every dollar we receive"

From the 7 options to donate, there's 1 european (german) , and 6 US (including corporate offers).

I wonder if there is any 'europe' left in mastodon or if it has been swallowed up by the US allready like all other european competitors.

@random_sapiens our our fiscal sponsor in the EU is WE AID, and there's a SEPA Direct Debit option via that route. We're aware we can do more to make it easier to donate, and will see what we can do to improve this.

UK Politics 

Watching UK politics from a distance, it's getting hard to know whether people will vote Tory and get Reform politics or vote Reform and get Tory politics. It's fairly clear they won't vote Labour and get Tory politics (like they did last time).

Surrendering to and capitulation is a failure...

But Tariffs are also a way to try force people to sell out (their country - e.g. saying tariffs will be put on Brazilian coffee if they don't accept US anti-circumvention laws - so those countries (all of them) give in and take on pressure.

"I asked on the internet, and I got a lot of fantastic advice, including from someone who replied and said he had a whole series, and offered to send them.

So he did, and I happily paid for the postage as soon as he said he'd sent them.

The box arrived! I had no doubt that they would, a random person who I did not know at all, said they would do something really nice, and I was sure it would be so.”

YOU WOULDN’T FIND THIS IN THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA:

Thousands of Orthodox Jews lined up in London to oppose Zionism while chanting “Israeli Government Shame On You!”

Our voice is silenced that’s why you don’t hear from us, but NOT because it’s not there.

Torah Observant Jews understand the dangers of Israel’s false claims of representing Jews & are pushing back strongly!

Help us get our voice heard!

Look, I am a white man and even I get that we were ever only a nation of laws for white men.

We are not going to fix this with "law".

People are lost in External Politics

Personal Politics is for the way -
which includes external BUT DOESN'T GET SUCKED IN and endlessly distracted.

1 ➡️ Be personal on Mastodon and create , (Build up yourself and similar individuals)

2 ➡️ Add Your own etc along the way... (Build something else within Mainstream - usually a regular circle of chats solves the 'What do we build with who we have here'

Personal Politics
+ Practical endeavors
= Better than following the

What you are thinking and DOING (at the same time) is better then hammering your brain with and etc / ad infinitum
