I am not going to talk about "low morale" because I really don't care, but the tags are extremely wrong.

Source: I spent the last two years in a city in 45 kilometres away from the frontlines (Zaporizhzhia). Air strikes and air defense sound different. While I can't say for sure that there was no time Ukrainian air defense misfired into a residential building ever anywhere, I can guarantee that the most notorious destructions of residential buildings here were all air strikes.

This is what I am direct witness of, but what I saw from destruction of Kharkiw doesn't resemble air defense misfire either. I didn't pay close attention to other cities, but I can believe in situation there being the same.

HEADS UP BRISBANE!!

The European Australian Movement (aka shameless fucking NAZIS) have been doing mail drops across various suburbs for the past few months.

Please boost the shit out of this, even if you don’t live in Brisbane. Check on anyone you know who lives in the city and make sure they’re not being drawn into this bullshit.

Spam the hell out of these fuckwits. It’s time to make nazis afraid again.

opinions?

I mean I definitely think it's worth it to sign petitions for these causes, because it's a fairly easy way to demonstrate to the federal government where the Australian people stand on these issues. and like. a lot of politicians are much more likely to respect these traditional forms of political participation more than anything that happens on social media

that being said, it's definitely not the be all and end all with regards to communicating to politicians about Palestine. it's also important to call representatives or send an email or a letter! it's also important to go to protests! political movements are multifaceted things, and the more ways we talk about Palestine, the harder it is for it to be ignored. if your local member holds office hours or town halls, you can also go along to those and talk to them in person if you're able to

that being said, I also encourage people to stay on top of Australia's other actions with regards to foreign policy, beyond just in Palestine. Australia is a major colonial power in Asia and the Pacific, and it's important that we resist against our involvement in colonial projects that have led to the displacement of First Peoples around the globe. I think it's particularly important that Australians, as citizens of a major settler-colony make sure we're well-versed on anticolonialism anti-colonial projects

March 21 - Truman Signs Loyalty Order On this day in labor history, the year was 1947.

That was the day President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9835.

It is commonly referred to as the ‘loyalty order.’

It required the screening of millions of federal civil servants and applicants.

9835 is considered one of the key preconditions for the rise of the McCarthyite Red Scare.

It established the criteria for investigation, review and dismissal.

These included a Loyalty Review Board, a master index of those investigated and definitions determining alleged disloyalty.

Disloyalty could mean sedition, espionage, or advocating revolution.

It could also mean membership or sympathetic association with movements considered totalitarian, fascist, communist or subversive.

Soon, the Attorney General’s List of Subversive Organizations was published.

It amounted to a black list.

In their book, The Fifties, Douglas Miller and Marion Nowack comment: “Between the launching of his security program in March 1947 and December 1952, some 6.6 million persons were investigated. Not a single case of espionage was uncovered, though about 500 persons were dismissed in dubious cases of ‘questionable loyalty.’ All of this was conducted with secret evidence, secret and often paid informers, and neither judge nor jury. Despite the failure to find subversion, the broad scope of the official Red hunt gave popular credence to the notion that the government was riddled with spies.”

President Dwight Eisenhower would revoke 9835 with his Executive Order 10450.

But this order dismantled the Loyalty Boards by transferring power to federal agencies. 

It also expanded investigations to include those engaged in “immoral” or “disgraceful” behavior.

This included what it considered sexual deviance and led to the witch hunting of and discrimination against gays and lesbians in the civil service.

I am passionate about my stances. I stand for freedom and equality unless you’re an Israeli because even though the Nazis committed a real genocide on your people, and even though 850,000 other Jews were forcibly removed from their homes, jobs and lives and had to flee all Israel-neighboring Arab countries, and even though Arabs are native to the Arabian peninsula and not the Levant, Hamas should be allowed to fulfill its Charter.

Florida joins conservative states severing ties with national library group

And why are they doing this?

Details on their snowflakiness after the jump.

"...The agency in charge of Florida’s public libraries issued a new rule in October forbidding any grant activities tied to the American Library Association, a 150-year-old organization that aids thousands of libraries across the country with training and funding.

"The move by the DeSantis administration puts Florida in line with a cadre of Republican states and lawmakers leveling scrutiny on ALA, labeling the group as 'toxic' and a 'conduit' for exposing children to pornography — claims refuted by the organization and its supporters."

And why did they do this?

"Conservatives in a growing number of states, including Alabama, Wyoming, Missouri, Texas and now Florida, have severed affiliations with the ALA, in part over the group choosing a new president, Emily Drabinski, who in 2022 tweeted that she’s a 'Marxist.' "'I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of @ALALibrary,' Drabinski posted on social media after she became president of the group. 'I am so excited for what we will do together. Solidarity! And my mom is SO PROUD. I love you mom.' "She later deleted the tweet and was shocked at the backlash over it. "Conservatives also raised concerns about a library bill of rights from the association that opposes efforts to restrict access to books based on age, a nonstarter in states that are attempting to limit what content is available to students in schools, particularly surrounding sexuality, gender and race."

So they're offended that:

The ALA doesn't think they should make decisions about who gets to read what,

That the elected President of ALA is a lesbian

That said elected ALA President additionally believes that the workers should own the means of production.

A piece of ALA policy that has been around for literally 84 fucking years.
