YT: Hello, can you introduce yourself (where are you from, where you participate)? AR: I live in Helsinki, Finland, and participate in local anarchist group A-ryhmä, which was
We can start with some good news this month. As reported previously in Notes, far-right channel One America News has finally been dropped from telecom giant AT&T’s line-up of available channels via its subsidiary Direct TV. AT&T’s share of the cable providers is less than a quarter of that broadcast by market leader Comcast, but
This is a response to a rather random article on a UK left of Labour website, The SKWAWKBOX, run by Steve Walker, entitled “Zelenskiy bans 11 left parties and merges all TV channels into one – but neo-nazi groups still welcomed”.
