How to deal with a corrupt and violent president:

"Serbia’s students have effectively challenged the entrenched corruption and state-sponsored violence.

As a result, thousand of Serbian citizens have taken to the streets to express their unheard grievances, including by storming into municipal buildings to demand accountability from local representatives."

I heard that #Tesla dealerships are company-owned, not franchises, so the cars on the lot would be owned by Tesla Corp.

"The resistance is working y'all. Tesla is tanking, protests are erupting, Elon looked like he was about to cry on live TV. That used car show at the white house was spectacularly hilarious. Keep going (don't attack private person's property though). #resist #resistance #fascism"

This is one of the most useful and insightful pieces I've read in a long time. While focused on what's going on in Serbia right now, it's chock-full of lessons and strategies that can help opposition movements anywhere. And yes, I'm pointing at those of us here in the US.

(If you are really impatient, skip down to the '5 lessons on bringing down a dictator' section.)

#Turkey detains 37 over 'provocative' social media posts following arrest of #Istanbul mayor

Thousands rally outside Istanbul city hall for 2nd night over mayor’s arrest

by Mehmet Guzel and Susan Frazer, March 20, 2025

ISTANBUL (AP) — "Thousands of people gathered outside Istanbul’s city hall for a second consecutive night on Thursday to rally against the arrest of the city’s mayor, a prominent contender against President #RecepTayyipErdogan, which many view as a politically driven attempt to eliminate a key rival from the next presidential race.

"Mayor #EkremImamoglu was arrested after a dawn raid on his residence on Wednesday as part of investigations into alleged corruption and terror links, escalating a crackdown on opposition figures and dissenting voices. Several other prominent figures, including two district mayors, were also detained.

"The detention of a popular opposition leader deepened concerns over #democracy and sparked #protests in Istanbul and elsewhere, despite a four-day ban on #demonstrations in the city and road closures. "

#Bruxelles 20.03.25

On se sent souvent demuni,seul, en colère face à la technologique impossible à suivre pour l'humain,
des politiques qui ne connaissent rien des besoins des non-nantis,
des intérêts d'une poignée d'individus qui possèdent ce monde, le façonnent à leur guise, détruisent la vie,la diversité.
Impuissance, isolement,tensions jusqu'à ne plus pouvoir être, juste oser être. "J'existe"
