A dozen memes (in a thread) of the foreign policy moment: capitulation, surrender, losing the war.

A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk,…

I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong.

This agreement is far worse than I expected.
To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible.

Donald Trump took us to war without a plan.
Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This "deal" he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska?

Seems like a player could be shown a card and not know the color. Does it matter with sufficient contrast and only 2 cards?
Could be easily solved by adding a symbol to the card or by having two different shapes.

This image captures a serene and picturesque mountain summit, blending natural beauty with a touch of human presence. The foreground is dominated by vibrant blue gentian flowers, their striking color standing out against the rugged, rocky terrain. The flowers are in sharp focus, drawing the viewer's attention to their delicate petals and adding a sense of vitality to the scene.

The background features a wooden cross, a common marker for mountain peaks, standing tall against the clear blue sky.…

Logistics in the technical sense (part of supply chain management) is a subset of logistics in the vernacular sense ("the handling of the details of an operation"). You can explore this second and more general sense, and thereby build an understanding of the first and more technical sense, by iteratively asking the question, "how does one make that happen" and follow questions from there.
A big part of organizing is figuring out the (vernacular) logistics (and helping others figure it out). You want to organize a seed swap? Ok. How does one make that happen? Well, you need seeds, people, a place, and perhaps a time. How does one make that happen? You can forage seeds or you can buy seeds for a garden and swap extras. How do you get people to come? Well, figure out where you want people to come from and choose an accessible place. What's the easiest thing to do? Get people from your neighborhood. How does one make that happen? Well, maybe put up flyers. How does one make that happen? Well, print them on your printer if you have one, or at a library, then go post them up. Etc.
Keep asking questions until you either find a roadblock that you can't find a way around, or you find things you can do yourself (one of those things you can do yourself is asking friends to help).
If you practice the exercise of thinking about how things happen, you can start to find things that you can do yourself. You can start to understand what exists now, and you can imagine what's possible. By thinking about logistics, you can figure out how to replace things when they collapse or are dismantled. You can also identify things that can't easily be replaced, and try to figure out alternatives.
This practice is good for figuring out how to build, but it can also be a valuable practice for figuring out how to resist. Concentration camps and ethnic cleansing also require logistics. Mass displacement means moving people. How does one do that? People are generally going to be moved in planes or buses. How does one do that? Well, people get loaded on to planes or buses in specific places. Planes and buses need fuel. Planes are fueled at their airports, which may well be the same places where people are loaded on to them. There is a fuel depo and a fuel truck that makes flying people out of a specific place possible. How does the fuel get to that fuel depo? Well, that fuel is probably also delivered by truck. Someone drives those trucks. Someone fuels those planes. Someone clears the planes for takeoff. Someone fuels those busses. Someone drives those busses. And so on.
Logistics networks can be highly complex. The more complex the operation, the more possible points of failure and more possible points where pressure can be applied, where operations can be disrupted. Ethnic cleansing is a complicated operation. The logistics of disrupting complicated things tend to be much less complicated than the logistics of the complicated things themselves.
The Right has exploited this fact for a long time. Centralized social services are logistically complex. Public infrastructure is logistically complex. By destroying these things, they can loot public resources by privatizing the infrastructure and functionality.
But the things that support the Right are even more logistically complex. Oil, cars, AI data centers, internal paramilitary, these are extremely complicated and fragile. There are numerous pressure points, all of which can respond to numerous strategies.
If we want to win, we should reduce the influence of politics over the things we care about. We should focus on building distributed mutual aid networks that don't rely on state funding and aren't subject to the whims of politicians. This is also known as "dual power." That is, creating counter-institutions outside of the dominant political system. The Right already does this in the form of churches and corporations.
As we reduce our complexity, we can then press our complexity advantage against the things for which the Right *needs* the state: the apparatus of violence needed to maintain capital and enforce the dominant order.

O&C – ownership and control – *that’s* the lens by which we should be evaluating data and technology.

1. Data about and technology for the commons must be owned and controlled by the commons.
2. Data about and technology for people must be owned and controlled by individuals.
That’s it.

“Stand up if you know someone who’s been affected by community violence,”
Dr. Khalid Griffin prompted the group of Fort Wayne high schoolers.

The counter-terrorism strategy made no mention of white supremacist violence or young people who are being radicalized online,
even though federal officials have previously acknowledged the risks these networks pose.
In the past year, researchers and the …

NUMBER GIRL - タッチ

Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger,
but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world.

Executive director of the International Energy Agency
Fatih Birol warned that while oil stocks were eroding, no new oil was coming from the Middle East and the demand was increasing, mainly caused by the travel season.
“This may be difficult and we may be entering the red zone in July-August if we don’t see some improvements,” Birol said.
Adding that he had “never seen the dark and long shadow of geopolitics so dominant in the energy sector”,
Birol also said he feared…

Under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the pace of investigations against Mr. Trump’s perceived enemies has accelerated
— most strikingly, the indictment of the former F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, for posting on social media an image of seashells that prosecutors cast as threatening.
Blanche has used his new perch to boost debunked election conspiracy theories promoted by the president.
But the moves that most starkly illustrated Blanche’s evolving approach came th…
