On the 21st of August 1971, the popular socialist president of Bolivia, Juan José Torres, was deposed in a US-backed coup following his move to convene a People's Parliament of workers and peasants. He was replaced by a violent right-wing military dictatorship, with Nixon's support.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

This would be a denial of our rights as Canadian citizens, so sign! Imagine if the government followed us into every library, every magazine and book and podcast we read and listened to, every forum, and every social media site we access online. The state shouldn't be there. Ever. #CdnPoli

Yep. I've a record player due to arrive next week, and am thinking of getting a small CD player.
I no longer sub to any video streaming services, and instead put that money into getting a VPN and a 5TB external drive. I now do most of my TV and film watching via a Jellyfin media server.

For ICE, US activists need to look back to the Panthers. Form a response team. Have a team lead that is an attorney or with a law degree to talk with ICE on the scene. The rest of the team should wear masks like ICE, be armed to the teeth and stand behind the speaker. Make illegal arrests have risk.
