»Japan's current #constitution, which took effect in 1947, contains the famous Article 9, under which the country renounces war as a sovereign right of the nation & the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes. The article also stipulates that Japan will not maintain war potential, leading the constitution to be widely known as the "pacifist constitution."«

Don't follow them avidly but hats off to Beflast Giants Hockey Team 🥅 🏒 for unifying NI behind them and serving as an impetus to leave sectarian violence behind them. I get it, bread & circuses, but anything that lowers the temperature and reduces bloodshed is surely a good thing. #icehockey #peacemovement #TheTroubles #DaytonAccords #nonviolence

The original vision was about equality, not just flowers; read Heather's insightful piece here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-9-2026 #MothersDay #History #WomensRights #PeaceMovement

Letters from an American
On Air Force One last weekend, Marco Rubio said Cuba was next. Next.

The pattern: January — Maduro captured. February — Khamenei assassinated. March — Trump says he could "take Cuba." April 17 — Phoenix rally hears "a new dawn for Cuba" is coming.
The blockade has cratered an island already on its knees. Hospitals on fumes. GDP down 23% since 2019. Eight million Cubans living it.

I just got informed by a couple of amigos about an anti-war protest in Tamaki Makaurau on April 11. The only place I could find info on the web is FarceBook (at least I can see it without logging in);

https://www.facebook.com/events/1625959595287915/

I tried DDG, Brave Search, Mojeek, nada. It took a StartPage search of the Goggle Search index to find that FB page. This is ludicrous folks.

Let's get all this into the social web?
