There are, I think, four freedoms we can glean from the Republican program.
There is the freedom to control — to restrict the bodily autonomy of women and repress the existence of anyone who does not conform to traditional gender roles.
There is the freedom to exploit — to allow the owners of business and capital to weaken labor and take advantage of workers as they see fit.
There is the freedom to censor — to suppress ideas that challenge and threaten the ideologies of the ruling class.
And there is the freedom to menace — to carry weapons wherever you please, to brandish them in public, to turn the right of self-defense into a right to threaten other people.

It is very difficult for people past the age of sixty or seventy to express how they feel about themselves and others. But when they do speak, it is their experience that deserves to be heard, and emulated by others, regardless of age.
I share the sentiments of a senior citizen as follows:
*I have stopped bargaining with vegetable sellers, fruit vendors and taxi drivers, who work so hard to earn a living. Giving a few more bucks will not make much difference in my pocket, but it can help the poor fellow to save for their children’s school fees or parents’ medicines.
*I have stopped telling the person who tells the same story over and over again. Maybe he is trying to relive the past.

The Government of Jamaica is embarking on a “celebration” of the departure of the HMT Empire Windrush from Jamaican shores, carrying over 1,000 passengers, more than half of them Jamaican and the remainder from Bermuda, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, and other countries. The Windrush dropped anchor in Tilbury, Essex, UK on June 21, 1948. The well-dressed passengers were full of hope for a better life; we have seen the photographs of their eager young faces.
As Iwrote for Global Voices just five years ago, the legacy of the Windrush has been a painful one. The UK Guardian is to be commended for its persistent, in depth coverage of the issue, and you may find a collectionof their stories here. Please also read my friend Dr. Anne Bailey’s thoughts on the Windrush here. What is “home”?

But is this really a Foreign Affairs issue for diplomats? Is it, indeed…

Animal rights activists have gathered in Madrid to protest plans for the construction of a large-scale octopus farm. They said Sunday that there are no laws in the country or the European Union to guarantee the welfare of octopuses in captivity. The farm is scheduled to be built next year in Spain’s Canary Islands. Protesters showed concern for jailing these solitary clever animals in pools. But the company behind the project claims their scientific research guarantees the welfare of the octopuses whose meat is considered a delicacy in many countries.
