Before the coup in Bolivia, Evo Morales declared he had audio recordings stating that the opposition had decided not to acknowledge his election if he won the majority vote. He knew a coup was going to take place.

He then won the election, and the coup occurred. The opposition in the coup was funded by the US, and Jeanine Añez, whose party won only 4% of the votes, is a far-right Christian fundamentalist.

Because the world's largest reserves of Lithium are in Bolivia, it's pretty clear that the US is working to gain a monopoly on the main component of electric vehicle batteries, at the same time as it stamps out a left wing government that nationalised various industries, killing two birds with one coup.

my favorite Spanish word is izquierdista, which means leftist, but sounds SO much cooler than the word "leftist."

Elon Musk is damaging the night sky. His satellites interfere with astronomers’ observations of stars and potentially harmful near-Earth asteroids, leaving streaks on images. No regulations require him to fix the problem. Soon it may be unfixable. https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2019/11/20/this-is-how-elon-musk-can-fix-the-damage-his-starlink-satellites-are-causing-to-astronomy/#56c8737d4ccc

Get ready for stream of conscious political thoughts.

The main thing though is that: in the US, major changes will likely only come through long strike waves. And to have long-lasting strikes you need to provide for people.

To get to a point where a significant plurality of people can strike, we have to have a lot more groundwork and community building.

You need to be able to provide for large numbers of people essentially quitting work. That's a lot of mouths to feed and people to house.

Unions help with this too, but again we need that sustainable and well-developed community work.

Protests are good, but what comes after to make sure XYZ can't happen again is a necessity.

The owner/operator of the food truck where I get sandwiches sometimes (he's prolly in mid- or early-Gen-X) said to me today, "I really like your shoes, man. More men should wear pink."

I said, "I agree. Pink and purple are underrated colors."

He said, "I think people are often too homophobic about it. Like… don't be shy about your feminine side. It's good!"

All I could say was, "Hard agree." It was a good take, IMO.

I'm sick and tired of white liberals, progressives and moderates using Martin Luther King jr. and other prominent activists as a tool to whitewash history and demonize protests, riots, and social movements centered on equitable redistribution of power. It's a tool of colonialism intended to pull attention away from the violence inherent to the occupying forces and the structures of colonial capitalism.

The BBC's "Climate Change: The Facts" documentary is an emotive message to the public about global heating, environmental destruction and climate crises, and serves as a good introduction to why people across the world must take action if we want to survive.
