Check with your local city council or municipality. The laws preventing municipally owned Internet are being fought and overturned with Internet As A Utility.
Even in Texas, the City of Mont Belvieu was getting the shaft by local incumbents that wouldn’t invest in the network. The city took them to court and sidestepped the law, setting precedent. Fiber to the home is now a reality there.
I’m working on getting the same thing done in other towns and cities in this state. Might be a great challenge if you’re up for that sort of thing.
This is more propaganda trying to justify the colonial brutality of Zionism.
-They refer to the victim as “the Palestinian”, dehumanizing him and thus trivializing his injuries.
-The idea that 16 different officers’ body cameras all fail simultaneously is suspect, to put it mildly.
-The fact that it took 16 highly trained people to restrain one person is difficult to believe. I will say, I am glad(? Bad word, but I can’t think of the right one) that they didn’t just murder the man and cover it up.
-This was a planned raid in Occupied East Jerusalem.
The officers knew who this man was, and where he was.
-The graphic of boot shoelaces is unbelievable. Fabric laces don’t cause that type of skin damage while keeping the surrounding skin untouched.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The killing of three U.S. troops and wounding of dozens more on Sunday by Iran-backed militants is piling political pressure on President Joe Biden to deal a blow directly against Iran, a move he’s been reluctant to do out of fear of igniting a broader war....

GAZA, Thursday, August 3, 2023 (WAFA) – A Palestinian fisherman was Thursday injured after he was shot by Israeli navy forces as he was sailing in the Gaza Sea, sources confirmed.
If world trade bypasses US-dominated institutions, then the only leverage the Americans have is their military. And that doesn’t bode well for civilian rule.
The idea of expelling Arabs to other countries was once linked to Meir Kahane and other far-right radicals, and thus considered anathema by most Israelis. Now, to the delight of right-wingers, the idea is gaining traction as a ‘moral' solution to the war.
Macron’s top diplomat, Catherine Colonna, said on Tuesday that the president was interested in coming to Johannesburg as an observer in August to attend the meeting of Brazilian, Russian, Indian, Chinese and South African leaders, the so-called BRICS group of major emerging economies.
Israel has given the UN a proposal to dismantle Unrwa, its relief agency in the Palestinian territories, and transfer its staff to a replacement agency to make large-scale food deliveries into Gaza, according to UN sources....
It would be doable, only after the dismantlement of the apartheid regime, the establishment of a unitary secular state for all citizens, the full right of return of all Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and just compensation for their losses. Otherwise, it’s more Zionist bleating.
This has nothing to do with Nicaragua taking Germany to the ICJ for the latter’s complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian population.
This also has nothing to do with Nicaragua winning a case in the ICJ against the US (1986) for its arming of Contra rebels and mining Nicaraguan ports, and the US just ignoring the result.
