@BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (1) The #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes campaign was drowned out by the FTV movement. Today, the FTV ppl on the ground in DC r condemning Squad votes 4 Pelosi. Way too little & way 2 late.

 @IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (2) But, a more important 1, is that the Squad felt free 2 decide how 2 vote on Pelosi w/o consulting the ppl's movement. These advocates of bottom-up democracy did not practice it all when it came 2 the most important decision they would make during the next 2 years.
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (3) They're not the only ones of course. Bernie Sanders did the same thing when he dropped out of the pressidential race. His "Not me. Us!" movement suddenly turned into an "it's my decision alone", affair. That enraged me at the time. It still does. After extracting all that ...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (4) work & money, often from poor ppl, he didn't feel he had to consult w/anyone else but, at most, his inner circle about whether it was time to support Biden or not. Going beyond progressive "leaders" however, I think all our politicians in our "democracy" feel free 2 take ...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (5) support of all sorts from us w/out involving us in decisions they are taking that are critical to our lives. Very few of them talk bottom-up democracy, but even those who do, practice top-down democracy, in which they mobilize us for fundraising & 4 coming out to vote 4...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (6) them, but when there is that big issue to weigh in on, we don't hear from them asking about what they ought to do and why. What percent of Squad supporters do you suppose wanted them 2 vote to re-elect Pelosi & her team of oligarchs 2 lead the D party in the House. 5%? 2%?
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (7) Pelosi has approval from 20% of Americans, but among the progressive movement ppl who contributed so much to Squad elections I'd be surprised if even 2% think she's done a good job. Yet the Squad felt free 2 vote 4 her? Ridiculous! Anyway, my point here is that the left
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (8) needs 2 develop 2-way communications channels ppl can use easily & rapidly 2 influence decision making of elected leaders on a daily, continuous basis. The lobbyists 4 big money r there every day in Congress grabbing mind share of Reps, but ppl r not. That has 2 change.. .
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (9) Take the Speaker election issue; the day after the election was over Pelosi began lining up ppl 4 her re-election fight. But where were we? Were we lining up the enhanced Squad 2 oppose her? We wanted MFA in the worst way, were we telling the Squad what we wanted & would ...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (10) not tolerate a leader who had said we would never get it, who was also opposed 2: the GND, free college, student debt elimination, paid family leave, expanded SS, inexpensive public housing, a JG, a BI, a House where floor votes r controlled by an oligarchy? No! We ...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (11) ignored the upcoming leadership issue, or procedural issues in Congress, or others important 2 our futures & focused on Trump, Covid, s-checks, & Biden's cabinet . All understandable, but inattentive 2 what was around the next corner that would shape the next 2 years.
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (12) The progressive movement needs a way of anticipating key votes & mobilizing 2 influence them way before they happen. We all knew the vote 4 Speaker was coming; we knew Pelosi was weak; we knew she was opposed to most of what our movement wanted. So why the hell did we ...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (13) wait 2 mobilize until a bit more than 2 weeks before & more than a month after convos started between Pelosi & progressives in Congress. & why the hell did we then mobilize around a policy issue that wasn't even going 2 come up until after key issues of institutional . ..
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (14) power were settled that were going to have a profound effect on the key policy issues we cared about? These failures were ours, but also the failures of the Squad & other progressives. After all, when those convos started the Squad & the CPC leaders could have been ...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (15) transparent. They could've alerted us 2 the beginning of bargaining. They could have asked us 4 our views. They could've done their part in getting us involved w/a process that was going to affect our lives. It's on us 4 not being alert & demanding they do so, but it's on ..
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (16) them 4 not including us in the process. So, 4 the future there are some things we need to do. (a) We must make our reps understand that they owe us both transparency + inclusiveness in their decision making if they want volunteers & funding. Second, we must slow down on . .
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (17) contributing either work or funds 2 them until they acknowledge error in voting 4 Pelosi & promise transparency + inclusiveness in the future. (c) We must continue 2 pressure them to force a floor vote on #MFA & other key issues in the House; (d) We must pressure them 2...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (18) change the rules again 2 completely eliminate #paygo, & even more importantly, 2 adopt a new rule of the House that will trigger automatic floor votes 4 any bill that gets 20 co-sponsors in the House. Such a rule is of enormous importance because it would do a great ...
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (19) deal 2 democratize the House by reducing the power of the Speaker & the Committee Chairs to determine what gets to the floor and what does not. BTW, if such a rule had been in place in 2019, #MFA would long since have gotten a floor vote in the House.
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (20) And finally, (e) the movement needs to set up its own early warning system 4 key votes likely 2 come before Congress. Perhaps that's a service #MPP could do 4 the movement, increasing its own credibility, & would set it up as center of resistance 2 the oligarchy.
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (21) Btw, a good way 4 the Squad to acknowledge its errors in lack of transparency & inclusiveness towards their base would be 4 them 2 file a motion 2 #VacateTheChair #ForceTheVote See: https://t.co/6CWZ1aMXxV"motion_to_vacate_the_chair"_rule_last_used_in_Congress

Jacob Rees-Mogg has admitted the Tory leadership coup looks like being delayed to December - after the 'meaningful vote' on the PM's Brexit deal.

Speaking on his @ConHome 'Moggcast': "Some people don't want a leadership vote now, they would like it when the meaningful vote comes up and think that is the time to put in letters."

JRM: "I think the strength of feeling against the meaningful vote is much stronger than the number of letters that has gone in. If there are letters in, very few of those letters will be withdrawn - so the hurdle is much lower when the meaningful vote comes."

He tells @ConHome the apparent failure of the coup could be a blessing in disguise: "In a way it is better that there has been this delay, though I can't pretend that there has been some cunning plan, because we have allowed time for people to see the failures of the policy."

Full report on the delayed coup from @NatashaC on @TheSun now:

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.

Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.


I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.

But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.

Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

After the video went viral, Shringi Yadav was arrested last night for mercilessly beating Asif for drinking water inside Dasna Devi Mandir. A look at his Facebook profile shows he is inspired by hate speeches of Dasna Mandir Mahant Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati. Thread 👇


Here is a video of him with Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati.


Here are a few facebook posts of Yati Narsinghanand shared by Shringi Yadav. But who's Mahant Yati Narsinghanand?


A few years ago, Bajrang Dal organised a ‘show of strength’ in Dasna Devi Temple in Ghaziabad, where a dozen people were seen firing guns in the air. The caretaker of Dasna Devi Temple, is Mahant Narsimhanand Saraswati. Do watch full video

In a speech, Yati Narsinghanand advocates for the killing of Muslim 'jihadis'. Via -

Several Hindutva supporters, BJP members, Far RW propaganda websites and a few prominent handles (Journalists, Singers etc) were supporting this hate monger Mahant Yati Narasimhanand Saraswati. Let me share a few things he said about, The Missile Man of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam. 👇

This hate Monger claims, Dr. Abdul Kalam had a huge role in making Atom bomb for Pakistan.


He claims, The person who you (Hindus) chose as your role model, He (Dr, Abdul Kalam) was one of the biggest Jihadi India has ever produced. One of the biggest...


He further vomits, 'When Abdul Kalam visited USA, He was stripped naked. When Dr. Manmohan & Sonia G Objected, USA sent 124 files & said, He might be a Scientist to U, but according to our files, He is a terrorist, guardian of Pakistan & Father of Pakistan's Atom bomb'


He says, 'Anyone can recite a few slokhs of Gita & fool u.. Not once did Abdul Kalam miss Namaz. Yes, He was a vegetarian, But if he hadn't been a Vegitarian, How would've he got a Padam bhushan or Bharat Ratna. How would have he fooled you & made a Atom bomb for Pakistan..."

SRI KALAHASTI KSHETRAM, CHITTOOR (AP)
#bharatmandir

Panchbhootasthalam representing vayu element, also called Dakshin Kailasha.
As per Shiva’s boon, Vayu is incarnated here as Shiva and worshipped as Kalahasteeswara.
The kshetram is also associated with Rahu and Ketu.


The Kshetram is named after 3 devotees of Shiva- a snake, spider and elephant who worshipped a lingam in the forest. Elephant did jal abhishek with water from its trunk, spider protected it from dust by weaving a web on it and snake adorned it with his jewel.
@GunduHuDuGa


Once, the web and jewel got washed away when elephant sprayed water on the lingam. Angered snake entered elephant’s trunk and bit him but died in the process. The agitated elephant trampled the spider accidentally. Shiva gave moksha to all three.


Hence the name-Sri for Spider, kaal for snake n hasti for elephant.

Shiv bhakt Kanappa is said to have plucked his own eye to put it on the lingam here when he saw blood oozing from the eye on the lingam
This place is the ultimate location for Rahu Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana.

AHOBILAM NARASIMHA SWAMY KSHETRAM: KURNOOL (AP)
#andhratemples

Ahobilam is the place where Prabhu appears in his fierce form, called Ugra Narasimha, who is Svayambhu (self-manifest).
Ahobilam is one of the 108 Divya Desams. It has 9 shrines for different forms of Narsimha.


Ahobilam was the exact place where Sri Narasimha appeared and tore apart Hiranyakashipu to save Prahlad. At that moment, all the Devas appeared and praised him as Ahobala (Aho is mighty and bala is strength). So the place came to be called Ahobilam.


Out of the 9 shrines, most famous is the Ahobila Narasimha Swamy where Prabhu is seen as Ugra Narasimha.
In another shrine, Prabhu appears as Malola Narasimha Swamy. Malola means beloved of Lakshmi. Here Prabhu is in peaceful mudra with his consort Ma ChenchuLakshmi.


Jwala Narasimha Swamy shrine is the actual spot where the fierce anger of Prabhu reached its culmination when he tore Hiranyakasipu.

Ugra Stambham is the pillar from which Narasimha appeared with such force that the entire hill split into two.

GHATI SUBRAMANYA, DODDABALLAPURA (KAR)
#bharatmandir

One of the most important place for snake worship.
The murtis of Kartikeya and Narasimha are self-manifested.
There is an anthill which is opposite the shrine. Bhaktas pour milk on it as part of rituals.


Here Subramanya performed penance in the form of snake. He sought protection from Narsimha for Nagas from Sri Vishnu’s vehicle Garuda, known for his dislike towards serpents.
The Pushya Suddha Shasti is one of the biggest festivals here believed to be appearance day of Subramanya


It was in this region where Subramanya vanquished Ghatikasura, the demon. Hence called Ghati Subramanya.
Childless couples visit here to seek blessings for getting a child.
The installation of snake murtis near the shrine is believed to be an auspicious act.


The murti of Karthikeya with a seven headed cobra faces eastwards while Narasimha faces westwards.
To ensure that both are visible to bhaktas at the same time, a huge mirror is placed in the rear in the sanctum sanctorum.

Wracając do sedna dzisiejszego zamieszania z artykułem autosportu / motorsportu. Kubica mówi w nim, że podejmie swoją decyzję w ciągu kilku dni. Rozważa opcję z Williamsem lub posadę kierowcy symulatora w Ferrari. Więc za kilka dni dowiemy się co go czeka za rok. #F1PL

Autosport / motorsport zmienił nagłówek swoje tekstu, bo pierwotnie sugerował on że Kubica jest numerem jeden na liście Williamsa na tytuł mówiący tylko tym, że nadal jest na liście kandydatów. Zrobili to po interwencji zespołu. Same wypowiedzi Kubicy z wywiadu się nie zmieniły.

Trudno powiedzieć czy autor się pośpieszył i wyciągnął inne wnioski niż powinien, a może wie coś więcej, ale nie mógł tego otwarcie napisać. Słowa Kubicy brzmią jednak jednoznacznie: decyzję podejmie w ciągu kilku dni.
