Can't wait to see the excuses on this one, if it's even acknowledged
⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported. Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia. The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

“dictatorship” overthrown by ‘voting’ ????
Number of right-wing dictatorships overthrown by "useless" voting in the last 10 months: 2 Number of right-wing regimes overthrown by communist revolution in the last 10 years: 0

idk why people still have this perception of the cartels as like a bunch of scrappy gangsters with AK-47s. they have billions of dollars. they can afford to buy nice weapons and gear for their soldiers, and there's no shortage of actors willing to sell them those weapons.
how the FUCK did they get this gear???😭

This kind of pitiful political thinking is in every way identical to Qanon stupidity.
Imagine having a DSA endorsed candidate leading in the polls & unironically thinking now would be a good time to un-endorse cuz she’s trying to Trojan horse socialism to liberals in a literal CNN interview and it didn’t satisfy your LARP signifiers and say the magic words for you

People hopping on this as if the USSR had a great record with ethnic minorities. The deportations & subsequent Slavic settlers/demographic engineering happened barely over a decade before the depicted propaganda was put out. The Bolsheviks inherited an empire, that's just reality
Indigenous people forced to assimilate into Western colonial society: bad Indigenous people forced to assimilate into Soviet colonial society: good Ok champ.

Just because they weren't as bad on this stuff as something like the United States shouldn't excuse it. If you oppose the "lesser evil" logic of liberals propping up Kamala Harris during a genocide she oversaw, why apply that logic here?

Hila Klein partaking in an IDF raid on the West Bank passively watching Palestinians get abducted and denying an ongoing genocide of those same people are both more repugnant than having an affair by a thousandfold. She deserves what she's getting right now.
This is disgustingly stupid. How misogynistic to dunk on a woman because her husband was a piece of shit. Congratulations Adam you accomplished nothing

Support for Hila Klein is pivotal right now

If the past bit has been indicative of anything, it's that what I wrote about post-left anarchists would only apply to hardliners, my problem was writing as though it's a monolithic tendency. Still disagree on aspects of organization broadly speaking, but that's not here or there

If opposition to hierarchy is the commonality that unites anarchists, then singling out post-left anarchists is a bit needlessly sectarian. If I align with synthesism or big tent strategies, I should be above that kind of dogma. I might not have a decent personal conception of—

—what cooperation might look like between a formally structured synthesis federation and informal affinity groups that post-left anarchists prefer, but then that's on me to read more and learn from experience.
