#Tapachula Una nueva caravana migrante ha salido esta mañana con rumbo a Ciudad de México.

Encabeza la marcha una consigna: justicia para las personas muertas en el INM de Cd. Juárez y derecho a paso libre y seguro.

"In the spirit of classical taxonomy, this essay arbitrarily selects a series of common honks to assert an overarching system of meaning shared by people on Mexico City’s streets."

Best claxonomy article I've read in a long time. @backup_sandwich

📣LRU August 24 Day of Action Against Evictions📣

Join us in taking action outside county courts across London on the day that eviction hearings restart.

We’ll make it loud & clear: the gov should cancel rent debt + make the eviction ban permanent. RT & share!
