Read the case study detail.

A third term ? Not so fast

La Marcha de los Cuatro Suyos.

Perú
Dictador

nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/peru...

On July 27, 2000, La Marcha de los Quatro Suyos or the March of the Four Directions began. About 20,000 demonstrators, from the four corners of Peru and many of whom had to travel by bus for several days, peacefully marched down the streets of Peru's capital, Lima, to protest against Fujimori's illegal third term election. Peasants and city-dwellers alike shouted ";Abajo la dictadura!" ("Down with Dictatorship!") and paraded all day long. That evening, reportedly 100,000 demonstrators convened in the Paseo de la República, one of Lima's principal avenues. The leader of the opposition movement and the organizer of this campaign, Alejandro Toledo, had arrived in Lima two days prior to this demonstration. The organizer had anticipated that the gathering would be massive and without violence.

That post sunset glow

Bicentennial Park, Glebe looking over the Rozelle Interchange, the ventilation stacks visible in the distance

From my archives, April 2024

#BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #sunsets #sunset #photography #skyline

Not long after sunset, with an orange glow grading through to a purple sky above a silhouette of yacht masts, cranes, dwellings, trees and three linked exhaust stacks. A body of water is below the silhouette, the glow from the sky seen on the surface, along with a motor boat travelling right to left. Land is in the lower left corner, where the photo is taken from, with long grass visible in silhouette.

Whoa - how often have we had more than one >7 earthquake over the same 24 hours period, and in different places in the world? Surely that's not very common. 🧪⚒️

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

Last night as the congress reads articles of impeachment, America Televsn had this screen up showing people singing and playing Andean music outside the Ecuador embassy in Lima, another frame had the president's house and another Palacio de Gobierno simultaneously. A necessary exercise in democracy.
