This is how it is done… “Madagascar soldiers join protestors…” - "Let us join forces, military, gendarmes and police, and refuse to be paid to shoot our friends, our brothers and our sisters," the soldiers at the base in Soanierana district said in a video posted on social media. They called on soldiers at the airport to "prevent all aircraft from taking off" and those in other camps to "refuse orders to shoot your friends". #Rebellion #rebel #protests #resist #refuse #YouthRevolt #YouthProtests #GenZ #GenZRevolution

Madagascar soldiers join protestors, refuse orders to shoot demonstrators

Groups of Madagascar soldiers joined youth-led protests in the capital of Antananarivo on Saturday after police used stun grenades and tear gas.

Today in Labor History October 11, 1865: Hundreds of black men and women, led by preacher Paul Bogle, marched in Jamaica, starting the Morant Bay rebellion. The former slaves rose in rebellion against injustice and poverty. Most were prevented from voting by high poll taxes. Recently, living conditions had worsened because of floods, cholera and smallpox epidemics, and a long drought. When the militia killed seven men, the protesters attacked and burned the courthouse and nearby buildings. Twenty-five people died. Bogle was arrested and charged with inciting to riot. The governor declared martial law, ordering troops to hunt down the rebels. They killed at least 400 more people, including women and children. They arrested over 300. Many of them were innocent, but nonetheless convicted and executed.

Let’s talk about defiance, because it has never been more relevant: “…defiance isn’t a fixed trait that some people are born with and others lack. It’s a practice: a skill you can strengthen over time. Some days you might comply, other days you might resist. What matters is that you have the awareness and the tools to make the choice consciously, rather than letting fear or habit decide for you.” #psychology #behavior #WhenToSayNo #SayingNo #empowerment #resist #rebel #refuse

The science of defiance: A psychology researcher explains why people comply – and how to resist

FBI fires agents for kneeling during racial justice protest, AP sources say

The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. That’s according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press. The bureau had reassigned the agents last spring but has since fired them. The FBI declined to comment. The number of FBI employees terminated was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.
