According to the Detroit Federation of Teachers history web page:

STRIKE: In September, teachers strike for 16 days when union “asks for nothing and board says that’s too much” and instead demands rollbacks. Agreement seems at hand October 3 but in dramatic turn, board welshes and turns down settlement. Citizens Committee intercedes and helps hammer out new agreement. One year contract provides for wage freeze with all remaining issues to be resolved in binding fact-finding.

Union wins key arbitration ruling that teachers must be paid monetarily for lost preparation periods not repaid in time within five months of date lost. DFT goes to court to enforce award on hiring all substitutes. Union wins four more arbitration victories.

I agree. I want to add this (old)reddit thread in r/AskHistorians about ‘Was it the truth behind the critical controversy surrounding Che Guevara? Was Che a murderer, a homophobe, and racist who needs to be viewed much more critically?’, it’s a better and less biased source than the reactionary Cato Institute article.

Almost all the citations use quotation marks except this one:

The Palestinian health ministry says at least 36 Palestinians were killed - 21 from Jenin governorate - in that time. Most of the dead have been claimed by armed groups as members, but the ministry says children are also among those killed.

The bolded text (normal text in the article) seems to be genocidal misinformation/propagana. I don’t belive that the PA (or Hamas) health ministry said that phrase.

To compensate the exces of quotes to the IOF, this is the statement of the PFLP:


🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

The martyrdom of Turkish-American activist Aisha Ezgi is a continuation of a long series of occupation targeting all free voices.

- The martyrdom of the Turkish-American activist, Aisha Noor Ezgi, after being shot in the head by occupation forces near Mount Sbeih in the town of Beita, south of occupied Nablus, is yet another Zionist crime added to the occupation’s black record of targeting foreign activists in solidarity with our people.

- This crime brings to mind a long series of crimes committed by the occupation against international solidarity activists, from the assassination of American activist Rachel Corrie and British activist Tom Hurndall in Rafah, to the attack on the “Mavi Marmara” ship breaking the siege, which led to the martyrdom of ten activists, among other continuous attacks and practices against those in solidarity.

- The occupation continues to target anyone who stands for justice and defends our people, further proving that this entity poses a threat to all of humanity and every free voice striving for justice, not just to the Palestinian people.

- The Front calls on all the free people of the world to unite efforts to confront this zionist, U.S.- and Western-backed usurper entity, and to work on documenting these crimes as war crimes against humanity, contributing to enhancing international efforts to isolate this rogue and rejected entity, and to prosecute its leaders as war criminals before international courts.

Israel has been a key USA asset for destabilizing the region from, at leat, the times of Kissinger as secretary of state and to stop socialist panarab projects like then ones of Nasser or the Ba’aths parties.

In Ukraine, yes. The US is fighting a proxy war against Russia. The last 30 years of NATO expansion and USA animosity against Russia are enough evidence in my opinion.

In Palestine, no. Israel and the USA are committing a Genocide against the Palestinians, or at least, is a USA backed Genocide.

Nice terms of service:

Access to this page is granted solely on the basis of accepting the right of Mil to turn up at your house at any time and stay for as long as he likes. This agreement takes precedence over any local, national or international laws which might otherwise apply in your area of residence - and it was drawn up by Disney’s lawyers, so don’t embarrass yourself by trying to appeal, eh?

I agree that signal has a more robust security model. What I mean is that itbhasbalso habe risks, and a lot of people are ignoring it.

The backdoor could be a sleeping function activated from outside to targets of interest or ‘special’ updates from the google store (i.e.: with the help of google install a different version of the app to the target). But I’m not a security nor android expert, and it’s all theoretical if this attack vector is possible, but I think that is unlikely.

Also, if the NATO country where I live wants to spy my mobile, it would use Pegasus 🤷🏽‍♀️

Off topic: The Signal reproducible builds don’t work since, at least, may.
