Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I just chipped in to help Cairo Takeaway fight a defamation case born of a tabloid hit job. They could use your support too.
Cairo Takeaway Legal Defence: Our Community, Our Values
Cairo Takeaway has been a cherished part of our community, serving delicious food and fostering connection in our neighbourhood. They've also been outspoken in their support for Palestinians. Now, they need our support.Why We're FundraisingThe owners of Cairo Takeaway are facing a defamation lawsuit. Legal defence costs are mounting, and like many small businesses—especially those who speak out for Palestinian rights—they're facing this challenge with limited resources.If, after a successful defence, legal costs are recovered from the individual who is suing Cairo Takeaway, contributions will be applied to defence costs and administrative costs only to the extent that these costs are not otherwise paid by that individual (as agreed or ordered by the court). Any surplus funds will be donated to Palestine Australia Relief and Action.If the defence is unsuccessful and legal costs are not recovered, and there are any surplus funds after paying for defence costs and administrative costs, all surplus funds will be donated to Palestine Australia Relief and Action.Our Community, Our ValuesCairo Takeaway has always been more than just a restaurant—it's a place where community happens, where solidarity with Palestine is openly expressed and where everyone, regardless of background, is welcome if they come in good faith to support justice. The owners have served us with warmth and dedication, and they've never been afraid to stand up for what's right.
