Yeah, leftist foreign policy can be annoying. One the one hand, they'll (we'll?, I am a socialist) correctly point out how violent occupation creates the material conditions for Palestinians to want to join reactionary groups like Hamas and that the only way to end Hamas is to end the occupation.

But as soon as America/any western nation is involved, all analysis is thrown out and they'll just start reiterate verbatim the talking points of some of the most reactionary groups on Earth, because all western foreign policy is just forever wars for the MIC.

Also, you should use they/them as they don't specify their pronouns in their name or bio.

One, the strikes killed five Houthi members and injured four others, zero civilians were harmed. Second, how does firing missiles at civilian ships, many of which have no links to Israel, put pressure on Israel?

We have ruthlessly changed the Labour party, put ourselves in a position where it can credibly contend in the election this year, and the overwhelming majority of Labour party members and supporters are delighted.

They're so pleased that they've been leaving the party in droves.

Their press release does talk about SMRs:

The Civil Nuclear Roadmap will give industry certainty of the future direction of the UK’s ambitious nuclear programme, on top of the government’s historic commitment to Sizewell C and world-leading competition to develop small modular reactor (SMR) technology.

[…]

Following its launch last year, Great British Nuclear (GBN) will drive the UK’s nuclear ambitions forward, including through the game-changing SMR competition which will soon invite short-listed companies to tender.

Unlike conventional nuclear reactors that are built on site, SMRs are smaller, can be made in factories, and could transform how power stations are built by making construction faster and less expensive. Alongside large gigawatt power stations, SMRs will play a key role in delivering on the expansion of UK nuclear capacity.

I not sure if these count as explicitly antifascist, but I really like Kingmaker by Great American Ghost and Saurian King by Shadow of Intent. Kingmaker's about QAnon and Saurian King is about the rise of the Nazis.

Ah my bad, I remember one of the Miskey forks saying it had Masto API and just assumed it was a Miskey thing.

Maybe they can implement Lemmy's API, like what Misskey et al. does with Mastodon's API, so it can use the same apps.
