Time is running out for Kamala Harris to distance herself from U.S. policies enabling mass murder in Gaza. Polls show a pivot towards moral decency could boost her chances against Trump. Will she continue to echo Biden's unconditional support for Israel's atrocities, or will she take a stand for jus...

Hours after Kamala Harris gave her acceptance speech at the Democratic convention, the president of the “pro-Israel, pro-peace” organization J Street took a victory lap in an effusive e-mail to supporters. “Wow,” Jeremy Ben-Ami wrote. “What a week! As J Streeters leave the Democratic National Conven...

The media was obsessed with comparing this year’s DNC to Chicago 1968. But given the party’s rejection of the Uncommitted movement, Atlantic City 1964, when Democrats refused to seat Fannie Lou Hamer and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, is more apt.

The split between Democratic voters and the party over Israel is deep and has been widening for decades. One election won’t change that.

Iran’s theocracy took power through a counter-revolution in the 1980s. The clerics crushed the independent struggle of Iranian workers and peasants who had carried out a popular uprising in 1979. That social revolution had reverberated across the region and the world. The mobilization of working peo...

Iran and Israel traded direct airstrikes on each other’s territory, for the first time, in a confrontation in April that raised the danger of a full-blown regional war.

You were correct about flair - doesn’t help with Masto-to-lemmy. Thanks. (last night I posted this in the wrong place. It's where I want it now.) :-)
You were correct about flair - doesn't help with Masto-to-lemmy. Thanks.
I replied to maegul with some observations elsewhere in this thread. But if you want to see my first good Masto-to-Lemmy post, you can look here: https://lemmy.ml/post/19510351
Thanks a lot for your help. You are right about placement of community - I have mine way down in the post, but it is before other non-Lemmy groups.
One silly error I made when I started testing was that I tried to send the message non-public, so I wouldn't send garbage to Mastodon followers. That didn't work for getting it to Lemmy - I had to have my test post be public before I started seeing them in test lemmy.ml.
Also, I found that putting "[News]" in front of the title in Mastodon post doesn't carry over well to Lemmy, so I don't do that now.
Here is my simple prototype:
Title of news article
text, text
URL of article
hashtags (too many)
@palestine AT lemmy.ml (but entered correctly there)
2 more @ mentions to gup.pe groups
================
Thanks again for your posts!
