Capitalism is so broken that even the conservative centrist Tim Miller of the Bulkwark has to admit it & chants "DSA".

Combine the "Trump Card", announcement of UAE "investment in US companies", propping up of #Tesla & this ridiculous #Newsmax IPO. This 💩 stinks to high heaven.

On a related note, a new targ- I mean billionaire just dropped.

The EU is collecting €58m in fees to enforce the Digital Services Act. But Big Tech is already fighting legal battles to avoid responsibility.

The EU shouldn't be put off by big tech lobbying from the US. The #DSA is really important for protecting people from the abuse of digital power and for limiting foreign influence in our democratic processes.

Why we formed a #Degrowth Caucus in the Democratic Socialists of America

By C.P.B. Murphy, originally published by Degrowth.info

November 7, 2023

"At the end of August this year, I and a number of fellow ecosocialist and internationalist members of the Democratic Socialists of America — the largest U.S. socialist organization in decades and an increasingly powerful force in our country’s politics — launched a new, national caucus called #CaracolDSA: the Degrowth Ecosocialist Caucus.

"Our purpose is to advance #DSA’s understanding of, and engagement with, both the degrowth framework and the international movement surrounding it in order to develop DSA’s #ecosocialist vision further. Forming a national caucus in an organization as large as DSA is no small endeavor, so I wanted to take the time to explain why we made this collective dedication."

resilience · Why we formed a Degrowth Caucus in the Democratic Socialists of AmericaOur interpretation of degrowth centers anti-imperialism and internationalism in addition to ecosocialism because degrowth, and global ecological justice, necessitate such a politics.

Does anyone know anything about this group? I’m really excited to learn that they exist, I think I need to throw myself into the degrowth movement since this is also the phase in life I am in, and I am excited to find this group. If they’re legit.

#PineAndRoses #NewEngland #DSA protests #ICEDetentions

Posted by #MaineDSA and Wes Pelletier | Mar 27, 2025

"Last week, the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine organized a protest of ICE detention of #ColumbiaUniversity student leader #MahmoudKhalil. Since then, ICE has operated as the #Trump Administration’s #SecretPolice, abducting a growing number of immigrant organizers for exercising their right to #FreeSpeech and protesting the U.S.-sponsored #genocide in #Gaza. The list includes #RumeysaOzturk, #YunseoChung, #BadarKhunSuri, #MomodouTaal, #RanjaniSrinivasan, as well as #farmworker organizer #AlfredoJuarezZerefino. Maine DSA member and Portland District 2 City Councilmember #WesPelletier spoke at the Portland Mahmoud Khalil protest and DSA chapters around New England issued a joint declaration reprinted below against the ICE abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk.

New England DSA chapters demand freedom for Rumeysa Ozturk

"Yesterday, ICE agents abducted Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student and pro-Palestine activist at Tufts.

"The kidnapping comes after almost 400 #ICEArrests in Massachusetts, as well as the #doxxing of Ozturk by the pro-Isreal website #CanaryMission.

"ICE’s abductions—of Ozturk, Khalil, and many others—is an unprecedented attack on basic #CivilRights in the name of U.S. Empire, whether those detained are peaceful #PoliticalActivists or undocumented #migrants seeking safety, jobs, and a better life.

"We must stand up against this brazen attack on #Palestine, #FreeSpeech, and the #RightToProtest.

"We must stand in solidarity with our neighbors and communities under attack from Trump, ICE, and all agents of #imperialism.

"Governor Healey, the courts, and the Democratic Party establishment are not coming to save us—we must mobilize, agitate, and organize in our workplaces and campuses to defend working-class rights.

In Solidarity,

Jo, wie gesagt, halbernster Devil's Attorney. Die 3W20-Probe macht definitiv mehr falsch als richtig.

Aber ich mag Ein-Würfel-Systeme überhaupt gar nicht, weil da die Wahrscheinlichkeit so trivial zu berechnen ist. #PTBA und #Splittermond mit den 2 Würfeln gehen gerade noch so, richtig warm werde ich erst bei z. B. #FantasyAGE mit seinen 3W6.

Denn ganz ehrlich, wenn ich nur einen Würfel werfen soll, dann kann ich auch Mensch ärger dich nicht spielen 😉

Ich spiel mal halbernst den Devil's attorney:
Bei #Cthulhu / #BRP stört mich, dass ich so detailliert die Erfolgschance einer Probe abschätzen kann. Bei einem Wert von 57 weiß ich, dass meine Chance bei 57% liegt - das kann ich "in character" nicht abschätzen.

Da gefällt mir 3W20 von #DSA viel besser. Bei 14/14/14 und TaW 8 habe ich bessere Chancen als bei 10/10/10 und TaW 5 - aber wie sieht es bei 16/8/12 und TaW 7 aus? Absolut unberechenbar und damit viel immersiver.

@HeyeBodo Ich komme immer noch nicht über diese #DSA Talentproben hinweg. 3x W20 würfeln, schauen wie weit man pro Attribut drunter oder drüber liegt, und das mit den Talentpunkten verrechnen.

Viel umständlicher geht es wirklich nicht mehr. 😦
