L'idea alla base della storia è interessante.
Purtroppo 4 puntate da 45 minuti sono, secondo me, troppo poche per dipanare tutto il racconto.
Peccato.

Trump just declared war on #Portland. He's sending troops authorized to use "full force." Well, that's a game two can play and the US government has lost seemingly every guerrilla war they've ever fought.
Portland will be AmeriKKKa's Iraq at home. Troops out now-US out of Portland!

It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
Lecture (1933-06-10), “On the Method of Theoretical Physics,” Herbert Spencer Lecture, Oxford
Origin of "Einstein's Law": "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

You have one job:
Vote no until you extract major compromises. That's it. It's really not that hard. You don't even have to come up with a platform until an election year. Just say "whatever they're doing? Not that."

The shutdown game is all about public perception played out in the media, not reality.
Dems *should* use every means available to block every possible GOP initiative. By and large, though, the public won't know or care that any of that is going on, no matter how many press conferences Dems hold or how many times Dems tweet.
Dems need headlines that say "Republicans Provoke Shutdown" not "Congress Shuts Down Government."
The image features a social media post from "Financian" with a headline stating, "Samsung is putting ads on its $1,800 refrigerators." The post discusses Samsung's Family Hub refrigerators in the US displaying ads on idle screens after a software update. The ads can be dismissed but not fully turned off, and disconnecting from the internet disables smart features. The image shows a Samsung Family Hub refrigerator with a large touchscreen display on the door, showcasing various ads. The refrigerator is in a modern kitchen setting with a window in the background. The text "FINANCIAN" is prominently displayed at the bottom of the image, emphasizing the source of the information.

Remember: The answer to being overwhelmed is to refocus. The fairest thing to do is to focus on the first appeal you see. ALL of them on Mastodon are criminally under-supported. They are all facing equal need, they are all real people (and if you aren't sure, check with Aral) who are exhausted and do not want to be asking strangers for help.
Our feeling of overwhelm is a misunderstanding of what we’re being asked to do—to pay very serious attention, and to try, and to treat Palestinians with basic respect and dignity.
Remember a simple thing: you alone cannot do it. It doesn’t depend on you. It depends on all of us. Chipping away. Finding new, bold ways to share.
Can you dedicate JUST five minutes a day to sending the link to someone, handing out flyers at a rally or church or DnD club, selling your creative work in exchange for donation receipts, hosting a poetry reading or lecture or stream online or in-person, texting a groupchat, emailing family and friends—all real examples happening every day? (I've done almost all of these personally, so ping me if you have questions! I'm always extremely ready to help.)
Five minutes a day. ONE family only. And you will transform their ability to survive.
Then...can you find new, bold actions to pair with your giving and sharing?
Our giving circle's ethos has been the following:
- Removing the indignity of asking for help
- Providing privacy to several families who put a hard limit on sharing names/photos online
- Ensuring steady and reliable support through weekly giving
- Standing by families who weren't receiving any help at all
That last one is key. We never position the giving circle as superior to any individual fund; it's just six individual funds put together because we, as organizers, couldn't give each family enough sustained attention individually. There's no corporate structure, it isn't an NGO, we don't make purchases, and we don't dictate how the money is spent. I am just a fundraiser host like anyone else in the West who hosts a GFM/Chuffed link.
These are families just like every other one on socials—frustrated, exhausted, and desperate, forced by a genocide to turn to asking strangers for help online.
Meet this with grace. Assume Palestinians in Gaza are reading your posts—because they are.

“Scattered amongst the crowd at Tommy Robinson AKA Stephen Lennon’s September rally were wooden crosses. They were flanked by flags which read ‘Jesus is King’ and ‘Jesus the way, the truth, the life’, as well as Orthodox Christian symbols; upon closer inspection, there were religious figures in full attire participating in the parade. Christian nationalism, the fusion of British identity with Christianity, was at the forefront of the day’s narratives.
where the far right previously attached themselves to cultural Christianity, the movement has shifted towards overt religiosity. There are explicit references to God and Jesus, with the Lord’s Prayer being performed both in local anti-migrant protests and Lennon’s larger rally.”
