USA has rescinded the visa of the Nobel Peace prize Costa Rican ex-president who promoted CAFTA

In South Korea, when the president attempted a coup, legislators stormed over physical barricades to vote him into oblivion.

I need a new job like last month. We are basically bankrupt now, I don’t know how I’m going to feed my family and we can’t make April rent.

I’m physically located in the metro Detroit area, Michigan, USA. I’m looking for anything either local to me or remote, and I have been working remotely for most of the last 10+ years.

I can do whatever work needs done, I have had a long career in web hosting, doing everything from DevOps to Technical Support to IT to Security. Any leads would be great right now, but also here’s my kofi:

The New Yorker's latest cover: No need for words

I wish more people held the "none of us are free, until ALL of us are free" stance.

I feel so haunted by the old “haha Brooks Brothers Riot” framing. Ultra-wealthy creeps who do not go to national parks, fly commercial, buy groceries, ride the subway, get normal healthcare, need FEMA, or send their kids to public school are looting all those goods, plus all our data.

“I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support…”

“Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe.”

…“While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you…”
