In an election Sunday, Peruvians will choose a president who upon inauguration in July will become its 10th leader in 10 years. The last to complete a full term was Ollanta Humala in 2016. The stretch since then has included three resignations, three impeachments and a removal by censure. Six presidents this century have been charged with corruption; three so far have been convicted.

10 years, 10 presidents. Peru’s leaders don’t last. Voters will try again.

Elections on Sunday offer Peruvians another once-in-five-years chance to set the nation on a new path. All signs suggest they won’t.

[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

#US lawmakers Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) traveled to Cuba to see the impact of sanctions firsthand. After visiting hospitals, Rep. Jayapal describes what she saw: premature babies struggling in incubators, mothers without food, and #hospitals facing power outages. She says U.S. policy causing scarcities in Cuba is “an act of war.”

**Thursday**
I met with these orgs:

- co-operative building the social capacity for digital autonomy through commoning https://democratictech.fund
- solidarity committee https://latinamerika-gruppene.no
- solidarity committee https://palestinakomiteen.no
- youth environmental group https://nu.no
- environmental action group https://www.folkmotfossilmakta.no
- anarchist news paper https://gateavisa.net
- mutual aid funding co-op https://bread.coop
- tech workers' co-op @agaric

I met with solidarity brigadists from these orgs:

- CNA - Coordinador Nacional Agrario (Colombia), https://cnacolombia.org
- MST - Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Brasil), https://mst.org.br
- Conavigua - Coordinadora Nacional de Viudas de Guatemala, https://conavigua.org.gt/es

In the general area of democratization and working class struggle, I went to and participated in:

- a book bath about a third housing sector, https://www.facebook.com/events/4550301785205231
- a seminar about anarchism and syndicalism in the norwegian workers' movement, https://www.lo.no/folketshjorne/hva-skjer/arrangementsliste/2026/april/en-annen-verden-er-mulig-martin-tranm%C3%A6l-og-syndikalismen/

**Friday**

I met with these orgs:

- environmental action group @XR_Norway
- political party https://sv.no

I met with folks of these orgs:

- network of orgs for donut economics @nettverket_smultringkonomi_norge
- digital hosting association/co-op for people https://datakollektivet.no

All but 2 of the orgs I've met with thus far are positive to becoming independent from big tech.
Most are trying to do *something*.
Some have done a critical review of their digital systems, evaluated alternatives, and developed contingency plans for when/if the US escalates their digital attacks on orgs daring to stand for love, freedom, equality, solidarity, and against fascism.
Some orgs are already using digital infrastructure which secures their continued organizational capability; and have been for years.
