Kick-Ass Women from History #1: 郑一嫂 (Zhèng Yī Sǎo)
I acknowledge this is a bit tangential to c/piracy's usual topics but I just thought Zhèng Yī Sǎo deserves a bit more recognition for her anti-imperialist stance and amazingly successful career. All credit to the author of the original post (@[email protected]).

If I were to ask you who the most successful pirate in history was, I'm guessing you'd come up with names like Captain Kidd or Blackbeard or any number of others of that crowd in the Caribbean. But what if I told you that history's most successful pirate was in China, and was a woman? Would that surprise you? Intrigue you?
Prepare to be intrigued as I introduce you then, today, to one of the single most feared pirates in all of history: Zheng Yi Sao (this is the name I will be using here; she went by others), the pirate queen who was hunted by not one, not two, but three imperial powers, yet who retired peacefully and

Just waiting for the yptb post about this lol. It's as though they like the abuse.

This is a lefty memes community for leftists. It's supposed to be chill. It's not a place for Democrats to come and argue politics. So fuck off.

Exactly. These idiots are all like "while we have the 2 party system, you have no choice but to vote for one of two parties". Well duh dumbass, that's the whole problem. And neither of those 2 parties intends to do anything to ever change that, because its entirely to their benefit.

I don't think they are particularly political tbh. I guess you can choose to take it seriously or choose to find it funny. You do you Philip.
Ngl it's quite a funny ban reason 😂 but you really shouldn't take any sdf communities seriously, they are just screwing with you.
Your question was valid:
Source for Biden orchestrating it?
But they could have simply replied "Ok, maybe aiding and abetting would be a better choice of words" or something similar.
Bernie Sanders has police drag away anti-genocide protesters at “Fighting Oligarchy” rally
The large rallies headlined by Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez demonstrate the growing audience for anti-capitalist, anti-war and socialist politics. But if this healthy impulse is to be developed, it must break free from Sanders and the Democratic Party.
Sad to know that even Bernie isn't immune to genocide denialism and is apparently only interested in domestic political issues.

On Monday, during an election campaign-style rally in Nampa, Idaho Senator Bernie Sanders had two anti-genocide protesters ejected from the event by police for unfurling a banner depicting the Palestinian flag with the phrase “Free Palestine.” As the protesters were dragged away by police, thousands in the arena erupted into cheers of “Free Palestine,” drowning out Sanders’ attempts to quell their anger.
For nearly two months, tens of thousands of people across the United States have been attending rallies held under the banner of “Fighting Oligarchy” and headlined by Sanders and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member and New York Representative Ale

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Trump is committing genocide for Israel after publicly admitting to being bought and owned by the Adelsons.
All the worst shit happens right out in the open. You don’t need to come up with any elaborate conspiracy theories to see it. It’s right there, completely unhidden.
It’s not hidden, it’s just spun. Disguised by the propaganda of the mass media who frame this holocaust as a war of defense in response to a terrorist attack while constantly diverting our attention to other far less significant issues.
It says so much about the power of the imperial propaganda machine that Trump could openly admit to having been fully controlled by Adelson cash on the campaign trail, get elected, and then facilitate a blatant extermination campaign in Gaza while aggressively stomping ou

Technically I think it should be M4735 or M4T35 in 1337/L33T, but that is nowhere near as readable for most folks.
Some people get caught up in the righteousness of their cause and fail to consider how their actions affect others.
Seems to me that's exactly what you are doing right now.
It is content censorship
Yes, exactly, it's censoring transphobic content. That's the whole point.
To be honest we were just getting sick of all the posts complaining about Blajah's policy of banning folks who they consider to be transphobic from their instance. No pressure was applied from Blajah, we just felt it was the right thing to do. Your whole narrative is bullshit tbh.
In reality, the fediverse is (mostly) quite left wing compared to most other social media spaces, so obviously the majority of instances are gonna be supportive of Blajah's attempt to create a safe space for those folks who need or want that. While we don't run dbzer0 as a safe space, I think it's great that those spaces exist. And they only exist at all because Ada and her team go to a lot of effort to keep it that way.
And by way of comparison, we recently had a vote in our governance community about defederating from another instance because their admin initially didn't want to take action against some right wing communities, and we felt it was becoming a nazi bar situation. The whole point of having the vote was to apply pressure on the admin to deal with it. And there was a positive outcome because the admin did deal with it and so we didn't defederate. I mean sure, the admin didn't like being pressured, but it got the job done.
Hopefully feddit.uk will change their policy to explicitly ban anti-trans dogwhistles, and the fediverse will be better for it imo. Freeze peach instances all become nazi-bars before long.

A number of party leaders are frustrated that Hogg, who has a leadership position in the party, is pushing primaries against some incumbents in deep-blue seats.
It's apparently fine for the DNC ghouls to aid and abet "centrist" (aka right wing) candidates who want to run against sitting progressive Democrats, but the moment someone does the reverse, suddenly they leap into action. Classic DNC.

A number of party leaders are frustrated that Hogg, who has a leadership position in the party, is pushing primaries against some incumbents in deep-blue seats.
Democratic party leaders Thursday morning admonished officers to not take sides in primaries, addressing a situation involving activist and Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg.
"Let me be unequivocal. No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger," DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a press call. "Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership. Our role is to serve as stewards of a fair, open and trusted proc

Following the massive demonstration that gathered hundreds of thousands of people in the streets of Belgrade on 15 March, the popular uprising shaking Serbia shows no sign of losing momentum. For nine days now, students have been blocking the entrance to the Serbian public broadcaster (RTS), accusing it of ignoring the movement and serving the authorities’ interests, resulting in disrupted programming.

To lift the blockade of RTS, Serbian students are demanding the appointment of new leadership at the helm of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM), whose role is theoretically to ensure pluralism of opinion and sanction incitement to hatred and violence.

President Donald Trump’s attempt to deport pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil marks one of Trump’s most egregious assaults on democratic liberties since taking office. Yet too many Democrats, particularly in party leadership, are responding to Trump in the most mealymouthed way possible. But this is a problem of Democrats’ own making: Their trepidation stems from their own history of repressing speech critical of Israel — and now we’re all at risk of paying the price for it.

At the exact moment when Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are actively dismantling democratic institutions and working to silence critics, a group of Democratic Senators have decided to collaborate…
Because of course they are.
