A global collective hope crisis is simmering, with many people hurting, criminalized, repressed, and doubting that justice is possible. The old fable of a stable job, home, family and retirement is crumbling. But, things are much more hopeful than they initially seem.

A whole community of Mazatec people in Oaxaca, #Mexico is being attacked as they try to defend their river from aggregate mining. The repression is proportionate to their resistance and they really are an example of the collective #environmental care that is possible.

The complete irony of this @nytimes.com piece about a protest against gentrification in #mexico (which they stupidly call "tourism") written by a journalist IN and FROM the US with no knowledge of the country or issue. The piece embodies the mentality & economic power that was being protested 🙄

Big #tech are strangling the Global South. US companies dominate our search results, AI algorithms are full of racial, gender, and pro-West bias, and these companies are dominating whole industries in Mexico. But there is resistance and there are alternatives ... truthout.org/articles/mex...

Today is the International #DayOfTheMidwife
It comes as unnecessary c-sections and obstetric violence rates are spiking. This has a lot to do with medical decisions being made in the interests of profit or efficiency, rather than women.
