you know what this is, there is a term for this
ICE took an 8-year-old Haitian boy into custody after calling him in for a check-in Wednesday, sparking outrage among San Diego Unified School District leaders, who said Friday they were unsure where the child was being held. nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i…

🇫🇷🚨- CENSURE (encore) : Notre post montrant des policiers déshabiller un lycéen, jeter son pantalon, puis le traîner au sol en caleçon afin de l'humilier a été censuré.
- Nous remettons la vidéo ici. Et nous continuerons de dénoncer la violence de la milice du régime.
🇫🇷🚨- CENSURE : Notre compte a été suspendu pour une durée de douze heures en pleine journée de mobilisation nationale.
- Nous avons notamment dû supprimer une vidéo où l'on voyait des manifestants (que nous avons qualifiés de résistants) se défendre et rendre les coups face à la police (qualifiée de milice).
- De nombreux comptes voient leur visibilité grandement restreinte lorsqu'ils postent des vidéos du mouvement en cours.
- Nous savons que le gouvernement a donné des instructions aux plateformes et a même envisagé d'interdire totalement les réseaux lors des manifestations.
- Nous continuerons de poster ce que bon nous semble et d'utiliser les mots que nous pensons justes.

En 1969, a sus 90 años, Elizabeth Cotten subió al escenario del programa "Guitar Guitar" y ejecutó "Vestapol" sin perder ni un solo compás.
Su historia es la de una autodidacta que, siendo zurda en un mundo diseñado para diestros, tomó la guitarra de su hermano mayor y la volteó.
Sin saberlo, estaba inventando un lenguaje nuevo: al haber empezado con un banjo con las cuerdas invertidas, su estilo de fingerpicking desafió toda la tradición musical, usando el pulgar para las melodías agudas y los dedos para las líneas de bajo.
Así, reescribió las reglas del folk y el blues desde la intimidad de su propia cocina, para ser descubierta por el mundo cuando la mayoría ya se habría retirado.

Rogue mafia. Just committing its crimes right out in the open.
🇵🇸 Israeli settlers seize Palestinian homes near Jericho, say they are “dismantling the Oslo Accords”
Around 30 Israeli settlers, some of whom were armed, took over eight homes in Ein Al-Duyuk Al-Tahta on the outskirts of Jericho in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.
Activists warned that settlers could be reproducing the situation in Hebron, where armed Israeli settlers live in enclaves inside the Palestinian city, contributing to displacement and severe restrictions on Palestinian freedom of mobility
🔴 The operation near Jericho was organized by the Nachala settlement movement, which claims to have secretly purchased the properties.
🔴 Sixty-five Palestinian residents fled after settlers attacked them with stones, an activist told the Times of Israel. Residents said that Israeli forces subsequently blocked access to the area, leaving homeowners afraid to return.
🔴 Yisrael Gantz, head of the West Bank settler council, framed the move as an effort to dismantle the Oslo Accords, declaring: “Today we begin reversing the trend, dismantling the Oslo Accords through actions, house by house, family by family.”
🔴 Palestinian National Council Speaker Rawhi Fattouh condemned the takeover as “organized terrorism” carried out under Israeli government protection, charging Israel of encouraging settlement expansion and forced displacement.

Dirigido por el cineasta checo Karel Zeman, El fabuloso barón Munchausen (Baron Prá šil, 1962) es un hito del cine de fantasía experimental.

Being right years ahead of others isn’t nearly as satisfying as people think. Nobody apologizes for treating you like a crazy. They just come back years later, repeating what you told them as if it’s some groundbreaking revelation because they finally heard it from someone else.

Now that the midterms craze is coming to an end, it's important to remind everyone that the U.S. IS CURRENTLY IMPOSING A FUEL BLOCKADE VS CUBA THAT IS LITERALLY KILLING CHILDREN.
Thank you for the attention to this matter.

A lesson from the Obama “we tortured some folks” years too. When Patrick Leahy proposed a truth commission-style investigation of the Bush years, Arlen Specter responded with “This is not Latin America.”
