You know you can see western Europe following the US and stuff like this makes me a bit anxious as a migrant. Especially considering my political activism against the state.

Though my possible deportation would be far less impactful and dramatic than any non Westerner living here of course.

Also, the guts to talk about illegal immigration on stolen land even.

I have seen it as some sort of fringe and mostly online behavior within the communist movement.

I’m active for what I think can be considered one of the more serious and successful communist parties within the west, without wanting to sound like I’m bragging. And I don’t see how we would be off any better by being maoist third worldist compared to how we are operating now. We are organised trying to better our own country while at the same time recognizing the unequal exchange between north and south, trying to improve it from our own position by, for example, lifting sanctions, handing out sanctions to Israel, seeking cooperation with other movements around the world.

The mosque in my city that got send a letter with a bullet in it the other day just received another one and it shocks me to see how little people care.

Cancel culture experts right now: 🦗🦗🦗

Leave it to the ‘concerned citizens’ to do this protest and show up with Nazi flags

Something about this being in my hometown makes me absolutely furious. Get the fuck away you fucking wankers.

I was thinking: maybe I’m whiny about the heat. And then I heard sirens because some dude around the corner collapsed and died. Send help.

Semi related but there seems to be this view by many people of LLMs as some sort of all knowing Oracle. Saw a comment the other day of someone answering a serious advice question based on ChatGPT and I was like: ‘Just because ChatGPT says so doesn’t make it true’ and they acted like I was insane.

Like, it’s a machine that produces output based on whatever the input is. I’m not saying it is wrong all the time but it’s outright dangerous to abandon critical thinking as a whole and accept ChatGPT as some sort of deity. It’s not a real sentient being.

So in my Dutch hometown there will be an anti migration protest at which some far right leaders will join. It’s near the city hall. A counter protest is expected.

My mom works at the city hall and she has to evacuate the building after 16h otherwise safety can’t be properly guaranteed. Wild to think that my mom is now at danger from actual fascists.

So a woman stabbed a man after a night out when the man started attacking her friend out in the street at night. The guy is now in a stable condition after fighting for his life for a few days.

The woman got arrested and might face attempted murder charges now. Fuck this world man.

Well thank you for being here too 🫡

I used to work several physical demanding jobs, from a steel factory to carpentry to a warehouse dragging beer kegs for 12 hours a day but I have never been as fatigued as my current office job. That is not to say that office work is harder than back breaking work but I do feel like the toll it takes on your psyche and body gets underestimated a lot.

Absolutely scorching right now. And the stupid thing is that as soon as the sun is away the humidity ramps up to above 70 so you just lay the rest of the night sticking to whatever it is you’re touching. Tomorrow will be even hotter.

Can’t imagine being any further south where it is even hotter. Though I had to be in the middle of the city at the hottest time of the day today so I got to experience the radiating concrete. Sweating away at the commie meeting.

A new law was implemented here today that will see capital gains taxed at a higher percentage (only slightly so). It will be free of tax until a 10k profit is reached.

Now, people are swarming to the comments online saying this will just target the ‘middle class good intentions father’.

I hope these people get a reality check soon. 10k in profits (FROM INVESTING!!! PER YEAR!!!) is not middle class.

Here’s a pic of Man Utd player Onana posing with Ibrahim Traore for some reason

He’s still a politician in the Third Reich and nowhere near a revolutionary marxist that some people make him out to be. When the other candidates are genocidal maniacs you can see the ‘maybe let’s not do that’ candidate as a good guy but ultimately we need much more than what Zohran is.

We’ll see what he turns out to be. Hopefully the comrades in the NY area use this as a way to get in touch with more people.

Currently I grow flat beans which is a more generic sort I picked up at the store. I wasn’t sure if they’d manage as my balcony is kinda shady and my squash plant didn’t do too well last year (though it did gave some squash). But it is going well so far. If I could pick another sort right now I’d pick lentils as I eat them literally every day and I love them lol.

Radish is kinda picky as it needs a bit cooler temps and moist soil so I’m guessing the Hawaii climate might not be ideal lol. It could also be the month you sow that makes the difference. Right now I’m growing red meat radish and they need to be spread no earlier than June.

For this year I decided to grow legumes on my city balcony and I had the first harvest of the year this weekend. I picked 50 grams of legumes from the plant and there was at least 2-3 times as much coming up for the next round. It’s fun to see what you can do with such limited space. I also grow strawberries, lettuce, different tea herbs, thyme, spinach, radish, peppers, basil and some other herbs.

At what point do we have enough of their grotesque display and just [redacted]?

That sounds like such a weird thing to ban someone for

Best I can do is this:

Actual recently renovated square in the middle of the city

There have been studies in my city that concluded that the air temperature in the city during hot days can be between 4 to 9 degrees hotter than outside the city. So on 35 degree days it can easily reach 40+ in the center where virtually no shade is possible. Also no fountains or other water works whatsoever.

We as a party keep putting up actions for more greenery and water but to no avail for now.
