#BDCAM25 Huellas Incómodas (Uncomfortable Footprints) is a #DigitalPreservation initiative that works to document, contextualise and generate a public legacy of collective memory and the right to truth, based on #feminist social struggles in #LatinAmerica. The project arises from the ephemeral nature of expressions of protest in the physical and digital public space, which is what we call Footprints, and intervenes against the urge to erase them. https://idrhku.org/huellasincomodas/
Question for non-United States folks ... Is the adjective/description "US-American" common, or at least familiar to you? I noticed this caption on #wikipedia. (It's better than "USian," I suppose.)
Arguments against the U.S. using "American" as its demonym are duly noted, but unpersuasive. Look, no other country's name contains the word America. And every alternative is awkward.
By the way, do people from South Sudan, the DRC, or Chad criticize the Central African Republic for claiming "Central African" as their demonym? Have they considered "CA-Republican" instead?
“Of course I would do it again,” he once said. “Look, torture is eternal. It has always existed and always will.” In a television appearance in 1995, he recounted the ruthless calculus of the regime: “The norm was to kill everyone and anyone kidnapped was tortured.”

COP30 won’t fix climate crisis unless it empowers Latin America’s civil society
COP ignores reality on the ground in Latin America and wrongly assumes governments are key drivers of climate policies
Several European countries, in 2025, warn of the dangers of traveling to the US. Before I moved to Europe, I knew that before it became fashion.

"There were 92 shooting incidents in Brussels last year, killing nine people and injuring 48, according to police data. Six shootings have been recorded since January 1 with Friday's fatality the first of the year. […] Perched on Europe's northwest coast, Belgium has become a key hub for criminal gangs smuggling narcotics into the continent.
There have been street shootouts in Antwerp, whose port has become a transit point for cocaine coming from Latin America. The violence has spread to the Belgian capital."—France Info

Yield declines are expected in most of the region’s current banana-growing areas."

Eyo, that #Euro #Latin connect needs to get up and going.
The #EU should definetely be reaching out to #LatinAmerica, and Latin America should definetely be reaching out to the EU - as well as the #baltics, the #nordics, etc.
Trade must be done, but quality must be kept. Increasing the living and production #standards so that #Europe is happy (by synchronizing those friggin #regulations) means that we can open up the #trade valves.
Let the yankies eat pink slime.
No offence, @georgetakei .
