On March 25th, 2023, some thirty thousand activists marched on a construction site in Sainte-Soline, a small community in France, to halt work on several mega-basins, which would monopolize access to rainwater and harm local ecosystems. The french state deployed some 3'000 cops and gendarmes to prevent the activists from reaching the site.

Pigs and activists clashed, with the cops indiscriminately firing tear gas and "less-lethal" explosives, including at journalists, while they themselves were continually pelted by a hail of rocks. 200 people (activists, journalists, observers) were injured, of whom 10 had to be transferred to the hospital. The french state claimed 24 injured pigs, with one hospitalized (given that I am writing about this on the day it happened, these numbers may change in the future). Despite the brutal police repression, one finger of the convergence managed to briefly enter the construction site and destroy a pump and a central pipe in one of the basins.

We have documented another sighting of the legendary "mud wizard," who became famous in January for tipping a police officer into the mud during the mobilization to defend #Lutzerath from a destructive open-pit mine.

Today's footage comes from a livestream of clashes in #Sainte-Soline, France, where ecological activists set several police cars on fire during a protest against an industrial mega-project. These clashes come amid intensifying unrest in France in response to Macron's government forcing through an unpopular pension reform.

En su reciente artículo, @festal propone que las universidades provean a sus trabajadores y estudiantes de cuentas de mastodon, tal como proveen cuentas de e-mail.

Si alguien que tenga tiempo para las redes sociales (de cualquier tipo) no piensa al menos una vez al día en el problemón presente de la #crisisclimática, entonces es muy probable que no sepa de qué va la cosa y que necesite más información.

Una cosa que igual no sabéis sobre la reforma de las #pensiones en #Francia (que está provocando protestas masivas por todo el país) es que un colectivo que queda exento de la subida de la edad de jubilación es:

La policía.

Por si no quedaba claro que esto es, ha sido siempre y será una lucha de clases, y que por supuesto la burguesía tendrá a sus perros bien alimentados para que no les muerdan la mano a ellos.

20 años luchando contra Hollywood. El primer caso de página de enlaces que llevamos fue en 2003, caso Ajoderse.com.

20 años luchando contra un adversario que cuenta con todos los recursos económicos.

20 años agotadores. Estamos muy cansados de luchar contra El Capital, así con mayúscula.

Una noticia que no se leerá en los diarios, porque colisiona con sus intereses corporativos.

Hechos de 2007. Página de enlaces de aquella época, tipo Series Yonkis. Los hechos son en Tenerife.

4 viajes a Tenerife, 4. Suspensiones, nulidades, prescripciones anuladas, y finalmente juicio en febrero de 2022. Condena y apelación.

16 años después de los hechos, se estima el recurso, absolución. Los hechos no estaban tipificados como delito en aquella época.

16 años de proceso. Vergüenza.

Same... everything else, as in the previous two toots.

After starting in March 2011, the Syria Revolution has eclipsed into an all-out civil war. The first episode in our Revolution in Every Country Comic Series focuses on some of the aspects lost and erased from the discussion of the revolution like the local councils, Omar Aziz & the Douma 4.

Just realized that have friggin' NINE #messengers on my smartphone.

I really miss #MirandaIM and all those #MultiMessengers back in the days. Might have to build one #matterbridge to rule them all.

One further food for thought: once Tumblr and Flickr join the Fediverse, the full network effect of the Fediverse will surpass Twitter.

Tumblr: 472 million accounts
Flickr: 65 million accounts

And wait -- the potential network effect gets spicier!
