So the shutdown was averted, which of course was a relief for many people who need the funds, but I question whether it made sense politically for the Dems to save the Rs. If a shutdown had happened, it would have been the Rs along with Trump and Musk to blame.

Musk is really the power now. Johnson said he spoke to Musk ahead of the vote Friday and they talked about the “extraordinary challenges of this job.”

I hope organizations will invite this creep to every commemoration of civil rights history, every dedication of roads, schools, etc. to POC and women heroes, every military event honoring WWII. He won't attend, & we get to publicize his snub of true American values.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as tankies. This wouldn't be much of an issue if they didn't regularly abuse their admin/mod status to censor and silence people who dissent with their political beliefs and for example, post things critical of China, Russia, the USSR, socialism, ...

As an example, there was a thread today about the anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. When I was reading it, there were mostly posts critical of China in the thread and some whataboutist/denialist replies critical of the USA and the west. In terms of votes, the posts critical of China were definitely getting the most support.

I posted a comment in this thread linking to "https://archive.ph/2020.07.12-074312/https://imgur.com/a/AIIbbPs" (WARNING: graphical content), which describes aspects of the atrocities that aren't widely known even in the West, and supporting evidence. My comment was promptly removed for violating the "Be nice and civil" rule. When I looked back at the thread, I noticed that all posts critical of China had been removed while the whataboutist and denialist comments were left in place.

This is what the modlog of the instance looks like:

5290546


Definitely a trend there wouldn't you say?

When I called them out on their one sided censorship, with a screenshot of the modlog above, I promptly received a community ban on all communities on lemmy.ml that I had ever participated in.

Proof:

5290548


So many of you will now probably think something like: "So what, it's the fediverse, you can use another instance."

The problem with this reasoning is that many of the popular communities are actually on lemmy.ml, and they're not so easy to replace. I mean, in terms of content and engagement lemmy is already a pretty small place as it is. So it's rather pointless sitting for example in /c/linux@some.random.other.instance.world where there's nobody to discuss anything with.

I'm not sure if there's a solution here, but I'd like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.

So, when y'all see me harping on why the Patriot Act was bad, and that nobody should vote for anyone who supported or reauthorized it, Luigi Mangione and Briana Boston are stark reminders of how "terrorism" charges are abused.

The racist shooter in the Buffalo Tops market massacre never caught a terrorism charge. The Jan 6 protestors and their active supporters in Congress never caught a terrorism charge.

The idea of terrorism as a US felony, or making terroristic threats, is wholly vibes based and has no place in a system that purports to objectively charge defendants.
