Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

RE: mastodon.social/@eff/11650084919594… Very cool to see Bridgy Fed featured in the latest @eff.org piece 🙏🏼
Bridging is an important facet of POSSE, but also something more people should consider, even if they don’t run their own websites. For example, if you don’t want to create a Threads account just to interact with your one friend who uses that platform, you shouldn’t have to. The good news is, you don’t. There are several bridging services, like Fedisky, RSS Parrot, and pinhole, but Bridgy Fed is currently the simplest to use, so we’ll focus on that.

I mean what do I even say? Despite all my issues with Hezbollah, it is a fact that they did respect the ceasefire and even the BBC acknowledged that. Israel broke the ceasefire over 15,000 times in 13 months (yes, literally 15k) But the ceasefire apparently ended when Hezbollah broke it one time
“This new cycle of violence was all too predictable. For months, Israeli officials had signalled an escalation of their campaign against Hezbollah. Despite a ceasefire that ended a devastating 13-month war in 2024, Israel had continued with its bombing of Lebanon almost every day, saying the group was trying to rebuild its capabilities.
Hezbollah, however, had remained quiet, aware that any move would inevitably be met with a powerful retaliation.”

Meanwhile, IDF former chief of staff Gadi Eizenkot: “The Dahiyeh Doctrine has never been more relevant than right now, and it must be implemented.” The Dahieh doctrine is literally about committing war crimes as a matter of state policy. The goal is to destroy life itself. x.com/gadi_eisenko...
צפון ישראל מופקר ומשותק תחת אש תופת של חיזבאללה, שנה בלבד אחרי מלחמה שעלתה במחירים כבדים והסתיימה בהודעות יח״צ ורהב על הסכם מעולה ועל פגיעה קשה בארגון הטרור - זהו מחדל נוסף שאסור להשלים איתו בשום פנים ואופן! 

‏דוקטרינת הדאחיה מעולם לא הייתה רלוונטית יותר מהעת הזו וחובה לממש אותה.
‏מאות הרקטות שסופגים תושבי הצפון כבר 12 ימים הן תזכורת מהדהדת לממשלת ישראל כי את המערכה הזו אסור לסיים ללא פירוק ופירוז מוחלט של ארגון הטרור- ועליה לתת חופש פעולה מלא לצה״ל לצורך זה.
‏כל תוצאה שתשאיר את חיזבאללה מתפקד בלבנון, תהיה פגיעה חמורה ובלתי נסבלת בביטחון אזרחי המדינה ובחוסן הלאומי, לדורות.

CHARLES RAFFERTY

The Problem with Early Warnings

People don't like to leave a party
unless the house is actually 
on fire. Even then, if the flames
are far enough away
to be pretty, they'll finish
their drink, take one more pass
at the hors d'oeuvres.
How things happen has always been
unclear. Hurricanes begin
in a place where no one lives.
Agents of the government start
to wear masks. 𝘍𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘮 is
a word my neighbors won't use
yet. They are following
the law, they say, and the sirens
are coming for someone else.
