On October 18, 2019,
protests erupted in Santiago, Chile,
over a hike in the cost of public transportation.
But the demonstrations quickly grew into more than that.
Those in the streets demanded change—real change.
They demanded more rights.
They demanded a new Constitution.
Police cracked down with impunity.
Videos went viral of riot police beating people in the streets.
Chemical water guns.
Shooting rubber bullets at point blank …

#Drumpf deeply callous and caustic caged animal energy insults fired at female reporters in his orbit are nothing new, as dozens of immature sickening remarks have been attributed to him in the past year, but ominous autocratic threats against TV networks do raise the bar and cause constitutional alarm.

Portland's weird, effective resistance
We live in strange times, and the people of Portland are responding with their trademark whimsy. Despite US president Donald Trump's best attempts to portray the City of Roses as a "war-torn" "hellhole," folks who live there are demonstrating that these are lies – lies intended to bolster his authoritarian efforts to deploy the National Guard in cities that oppose him and his tyrannical policies

Trump Orders States Not to Protect Children From Predatory AI: "States have been the only effective line of defense against AI harms."
On the topic of states rights, Donald Trump doesn’t exactly follow the party line. During his first term, he couched himself in populist, small-government rhetoric — even as he attacked individual states that dared to defend migrants and legalize marijuana.

The current "Never Post" episode on DIYing your "cloud" is great. Not just cause it shows what is possible, that you actually can do a lot, but also the cost (financial and others). Because hosting things (especially for others) is and requires care work. Great interview.

In BC, Abbotsford and other border areas are under flood evacuation orders, especially from the Nooksack River. The Tyee recently reported on the lack of an agreement on flooding of the Nooksack, which is a perennial problem that the US government has ignored.
British Columbia and Washington need to work on a Cascadia-focused agreement on how to manage the Nooksack without meddling from the United States or Canada, which are apathetic to the real issues facing our region
