The details I do have:
- Opting not to post location here; I don’t think that’s helpful
- Folks on the scene think it was a community member who was shot; definitely was not an agent
- Agents pulled guns on a doctor who attempted to administer first aid
- Conflicting reports on how many people hit and their condition
- There is video
Just grim.

Part 3 - Moving forward
One of Mastodon's strengths is its decentralized structure. That also means no centralized marketing or development strategy focused on growth, particularly in Canada. Perhaps a volunteer group could take on that development plan and grow the Canadian user base.
- A vision of what an ideal future state would look like would benefit the planning and action steps. Collecting input from Canadian admins is recommended.
- We shouldn't burden existing admins beyond their current responsibilities. Volunteers would take actions like reaching out to politicians or government agencies.
Potential next steps:
1) Host a web meeting with interested Canadian admins to collect input on a shared vision for this project.
2) Collect volunteers who would be interested in reaching out to politicians or government agencies about creating a presence on Mastodon.
3) Select members of the group to be part of a steering committee.
4) Create a unique hashtag for this project for reporting and followers.
At a hearing last week, members of the "Senate Special Committee on Aging" criticized generic drug manufacturers
for routinely concealing the locations of their drugmaking plants
as well as the suppliers that provide key ingredients.

Is there any legal justification for the US attack on Venezuela?
International law experts expect Washington to claim self-defence and face little serious pushback [from the UN]

'President Claudia Sheinbaum said “Mexico condemns the military intervention in Venezuela.”
'She also included in her post an article in the UN Charter which states: “The Members of the Organization, in their international relations, shall refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”'
Video I was watching: "members and representatives of the ultra wealthy have created a report that points out the obvious fact that infinite growth has to end because the world is finite. They have assured us that this is bad for us because it's bad for "the economy." But there's hope. If we only take several steps towards fascism, we will only need to take the remaining steps in order to sustain their economic dominance for a little while more.
It will only cost everything we care about and the habitability of the planet, but some of us can still benefit from the crumbs they will feed us until they have to systematically murder us all for just a little more time on top."
