politics @lemmy.world•New York Post slammed for smearing Ms Rachel after Mamdani inauguration pick
45·17 days agoBefore giving me a lecture, how about looking at the source? It’s not the New York Post, its the Middle East Eye, a very reputable and non- MSM source. Knee-jerk responses are really not helpful.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do I notify followers/subscribers to a PeerTube channel?
1·1 month agoToday I will create a crude little video using my phone with the announcement along with a screenshot. That should do it. Thanks for the ideas. :-)

21·1 month agoI post videos that are already created elsewhere, so I haven’t created one except for ones I’ve taken with a phone camera.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do I notify followers/subscribers to a PeerTube channel?
3·1 month agoThanks, sounds like a good idea. I created a single PNG with the announcement and then tried to convert that to a webm using 3 various suggestions I found online, all involving ffmpeg. All failed. Any suggestions?

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Bigotry, Jew Hatred Take Center Stage in GOP Mainstream
11·2 months agoWhat specifically are you talking about? The people mentioned in the article are true right-wing Jew-haters, not defenders of Palestine. And the publication has a consistent record of anti-Zionism.

Cuba@lemmy.ml•‘Cuba Is the Moral and Political Compass of the World’ (I)
2·2 months agoInterview with Cuban Leader Ernesto Limia Díaz (Part 1 of 3)
Nov 7, 2025Limia acknowledged that this economic crisis is caused, to a large degree, by an intensifying #US economic war aimed at asphyxiating and overthrowing the Cuban Revolution. However, he focused his essay on “the problems that, in my humble opinion, are within our means to solve as soon as possible.”
Among other important points, he noted that “we cannot ignore that formalizing a private economy presents challenges to the Cuban model. One thing we must be clear about: under socialism the blind laws of the market cannot govern ― or to be precise, the ‘blind’ laws of those seers who control the market. Under socialism the market cannot dictate the trajectory, it must establish a harmonious relationship with the interests of society. Achieving this requires planning, audacity, control, and solidarity education.”

World News@lemmy.ml•Microsoft revokes cloud services from Israel’s Unit 8200, following +972 exposé
1·3 months agoI’ve been reading a lot of articles from 972, and I don’t see evidence of that. Do they explicitly call for the destruction of the Zionist state? No, but that doesn’t make 972 a liberal Zionist rag. (In fact, their latest issue explicitly takes on liberal Israelis on the Gaza genocide.)
If you have some examples where they took bad positions on something concrete, please send them to me. I could be wrong.
