On April 27, 2010, a solidarity and mutual aid caravan to the besieged autonomous Triqui community of San Juan Copala left the city of Oaxaca. Along the way, it was ambushed by government-backed paramilitaries belonging to UBISORT (Union for the Social Well-Being of the Triqui Region). Several friends of mine were shot, and Mixtec organizer Bety Cariño and Finnish solidarity activist Jyri Jaakkola were murdered.

One year after the murders, I had the opportunity to accompany Jyri's parents when they visited Oaxaca seeking justice for their son. There is nothing quite like the pain of a parent upon having a child stolen from them.

Today, dozens of people blockaded Federal Highway 190 between Oaxaca and Huajuapan to demand justice for Bety and Jyri. The killers remain protected by the state, and impunity reigns no matter which party is in power.

Statement from the autonomous Nahua community of Santa María Ostula, Michoacán:

Update: After a three-hour attack by members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) against our community, we want to report that our Communal Guard was able to repel these criminals, who, according to investigations, had planned an armed attack in order to enter our territory.

On this occasion we were again able to keep that from happening, nonetheless, containment this time does not mean an end to the attacks. This criminal organization is continually attacking our community.

We also wish to report that our Guard found bullet holes in a primary school, which clearly indicates that the CJNG attacks those who are defenseless and with it provokes terror.

We will continue defending our territory, and our community will remain united. We are very grateful for the dissemination of what we have reported as that is already an important contribution.

@HampshireKarin @nini Karin - The Transport Police and the ‘Equalities’ Comissioner were out of the traps within hours [or less] talking about how they would use men to stripsearch women they assumed were trans women, and how they would demand the NHS [which has no money thanks to Streeting] implement this ruling.
I have never seen a surge in trans women stalking, harassing or doing anyone damage in a toilet or restroom; in fact the only people causing distress, trouble and alarm are those who hate the private lives of complete strangers.
Look at the statistics and look around every day on media - men, men, men assaulting, murdering, raping, upskirting, demeaning all women every day.
All this stupid ruling has done is distress and exclude trans people, enable more assaults by men, and demonstrate the gloating hate of the likes of Linehan [death threat] and Rowling/Galbraith [with bling and a cigar, like Saville], while Laurence Fox continues to call all ‘pedos’ or ‘perverts’, or ‘genital mutilators’. If you think these people have made the world safer by that ruling in the Supreme Court, you have a problem with reality.
There are many babies born every year with extra or less chromosomes - not XX or XY. Some have female genitalia but male chromosomes, others have male genitalia but female ones. The ruling is dangerous, scientifically ignorant, and will cost lives; it also makes some newborns non-persons, as their physical appearance does not match a designated simplistic male/female idea. Under this ruling they will be unable to correct this.
And don’t come at me with ‘it’s only about trans people’. It’s absolutely not. It is about everyone’s autonomy and personal choice.

Allie ( @Tatlyn ) and I were invited to speak at the press conference announcing the Hadachek v. Oregon lawsuit seeking equal protections for children regardless of sex assigned at birth.

Here are our remarks, archived on the GALDEF YouTube page.

@wdlindsy And while wearing an inordinate amount of large ostentatious gold appearing jewellery - markedly similar appearance to a deceased disgraced former BBC presenter.
Despite their delusional beliefs - Rowling/Galbraith is no feminist. That ruling may well have set womens autonomy and rights back by generations; as you can be certain [it’s already happened] CIS women will be called out, abused and removed from places like female only restrooms, because of their height, clothing or some other appearance that makes a complete stranger assume they are not a woman.
Everything Mr Robert Galbraith [for that is the preferred non-de-plume] does, writes, supports, and say is transphobic. To claim otherwise is a blatant lie. If they had no problem with trans people, they never would have been so involved in bringing that repellent, exclusive, unjust case.
Why does it matter in the slightest if people are straight, gay, abstinent, trans? It is literally no-ones business, except that person and their associates.
How many suicides will satisfy Rowling/Galbraith? For that may well be the outcome.
I have no idea what any trans person ever did to her personally to bring the wrath of a billionaire on all trans people.

Yesterday, the P’urhépecha municipality of Cherán, Michoacán, celebrated 14 years of autonomy. It began on April 15, 2011, when a group of women blocked cartel-linked illegal loggers from removing trees from the community. This act sparked a mass uprising that saw the community reclaim its territory, establishing barricades, 179 permanent bonfires, a form of autonomous government rooted in P’urhépecha forms of communal organization, and expelling the cartels, police, and political parties.

If you want to know more about Cherán, might I suggest "The Bonfires of Autonomy," a piece I wrote for the anthology edited by @cbmilstein, "Deciding for Ourselves: The Promise of Direct Democracy:" akpress.org/deciding-for-ourse

desinformemonos.org/celebra-ch

www.akpress.orgDeciding For Ourselves<p>This anthology explores this “sense of freedom in the air,” as one piece puts it, by looking at contemporary examples of autonomous, directly democratic spaces and the real-world dilemmas they experience, all the while underscoring the egalitarian ways of life that are collectively generated in them.</p>

If you want to exercise your digital civil #freedom and #autonomy, and if you want to support the development of a #privacy focused #Linux phone and its operating system, head over the the #Purism shop and order a #Librem5. They are in stock.

Note that the Librem 5 is a phone that is designed from the bottom to run Linux. It is not a phone with Android originals that is now running a Linux distribution.

A call to #universities:
"Apart from #security & #privacy concerns, our alternative-less reliance on #BigTech is fundamentally at odds with public values like #freedom, #independence, #autonomy and #equality. The #digitalservices we use for research and teaching are profoundly shaping our professional practices; the incorporation of #AItools (coPilot) in basic software (MSOffice365), substantially shape our teaching & research and hence impact our professional #autonomy."

Lawyers say Oregon genital cutting law discriminates against boys; seek circumcision ban
Zane Sparling for Oregonian/Oregon Live

"The plaintiffs ask the court to declare current Oregon laws banning only female genital cutting a violation of the state constitution’s Equal Rights Amendment and Equal Protection Clause. They say the court must either ban it for children of any gender or overturn the statute entirely."
