GOP Bill Would Stop 'Furries' From Invading Texas Schools
> A Texas Republican bill would prohibit students from cosplaying as "furries" and using litter boxes in classrooms.
Li Andersson, MEP of the Finnish Left Alliance party, gave an interview to the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation regarding the #UkraineWar and Trump in the US.
tl;dr: it makes me happy we have a firm, morally consistent, sharp-witted and brave MEP like Li Andersson
Andersson notes that Europe should not be dependent on the US, and a mistake by the European left has been not to develop a credible European defense alternative.
She also notes that the hypocrisy by European countries regarding the war on #Gaza has been astounding. And Andersson is right: our calls for a rule-based international order don't seem credible, if the rules don't apply to all. In #Finland, the Left Alliance and Andersson have consistently critiqued the #GazaGenocide in addition to the Russian attack on Ukraine.

Germany weighs massive defence spending deal before far right can block it.
A sense of urgency is rising as parties on the extreme right and left may be able to block defence spending when Germany’s new parliament convenes.

Although there aren't many original/surprising takes on the Russian war in #Ukraine in this interview to my great relief Mr #Žižek (whose interpretations of the classic Hollywood cinema I very much enjoyed) stands on the right side and finds the right words:

Note: It took nearly a full 24hours for the CBC to pick up on the #Democrat #Republican hashtag issue we were all experiencing and reporting on on Monday night. Nice work #Fediverse!!
"Social media users noticed searches for #Democrat, #DNC and other related terms like #TheLeft were not returning any results for at least several hours, while searches for terms like #Republican, #RNC and #TheRight yielded millions of posts.”
"Dann Downes, a professor of information and communication studies at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, says the hashtags being hidden on Meta platforms so soon after Trump's inauguration suggested it was no coincidence. "

Meta is facing accusations of political bias after Democrat-related hashtags were hidden on its Instagram app following Donald Trump's presidential inauguration Monday. Social media users noticed searches for #Democrat, #DNC and other related terms like #TheLeft were not returning any results for at least several hours, while searches for terms like #Republican, #RNC and #TheRight yielded…

#Meta blocks the hashtag #theleft on #Instagram, thus blocking postings by an entire official fraction in the European Parliament. Zuckerbergs new definition of #FreeSpeech

#Meta blokkeert de hashtag #theleft en dus een hele fractie van het Europees parlement op #instagram In het kader van meer vrijheid van meningsuiting?

#TheLeft: Instagram bloqueou pesquisas do grupo europeu da Esquerda: Quem pesquisar pela hashtag #TheLeft nesta rede social de Zuckerberg recebe em resposta um aviso de que os resultados foram ocultados por se tratar de “conteúdo sensível”. O mesmo tinha acontecido nos EUA com as hashtags #Democrat e #Democrats. A Meta diz que está a tentar corrigir os “erros” com as hashtags políticas. https://www.esquerda.net/artigo/theleft-instagram-bloqueou-pesquisas-do-grupo-europeu-da-esquerda/93623?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
The left's Puritan streak strikes again.
Kamala Harris ditched Joe Rogan's podcast interview over fears of progressive backlash. When Sanders went on Rogan (who came as close to endorsing him as possible), he faced an avalanche of criticism.
The left would rather be right than in power.
#ViktorOrban’s Auftritt war heute sehr umstritten im #Europaparlament.
Die Abgeordneten von #TheLeft , gefolgt von #verdi und #socialisti standen am Ende seiner Rede auf und sangen #BellaCiao
How to alienate “#theleft” about voting concerns, speedrun, any%

I've deliberately used “#theleft™” as Ben Royce has the misconception that “#theleft©” is an ideologically consistent and unified bunch.
Unfortunately we at #theleft©™® know that is not the case.
and before you lies the tragedy of the inflexible #idealism on #theleft, and why it is so #toxic to their own interests
if the left voted as dependably as #MAGA, they would own the #democrats. like MAGA owns the #GOP
instead the left expects perfection, gets frustrated on this or that issue in brittle weakness instead of seeing the big picture and the #strategy, doesn't #vote, and so everyone ignores them
you vote
period
there is no other way to matter
none
