The fact that the US electoral system is a circus act designed to pacify the proletariat from revolutionary action is not incompatible with the fact that elections can be life-or-death for many of the most marginalized Americans.

Discouraging anarchists from participating in elections is poor praxis and likely a false flag.

I've been selected to present a paper at a Conference in Sao Paulo.

As a 'third class citizen' struggling in Europe and with prolonged denial of access to citizenship, I sometimes find myself isolated and in serious state hardship to maintain the bridges to places; my research and current scholarship; and updating my practice in tune with current production.

Please check, help and share!

The #CommonVoice project by #Mozilla is a good start, but seems to be stalling:

Welcome to "prove you're not a robot" hell

You made a god angry or something

So now for eternity, you get to:

Select all the boxes that contain buses

Select all the boxes that contain crosswalks

Select all the boxes that contain free labour for Google

And "Trust us," says Google, "This makes the web better for *you* somehow"

"And we promise," says Google, "that we will believe that you're not a robot if you get *this* one right"
