The Chinese government is maintaining severe restrictions, conditions, and controls on Uyghurs who seek to travel abroad in violation of their internationally protected right to leave the country, Human Right Watch said today. The government has permitted Uyghurs in the diaspora to make restricted visits to Xinjiang, but with the apparent aim of presenting a public image of normalcy in the region.

Since the start of the Chinese government’s abusive Strike Hard Campaign in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in 2016, Chinese authorities have arbitrarily confiscated passports of Uyghurs in the region and imprisoned Uyghurs for contacting people abroad. While the authorities are now allowing some Uyghurs to apply for or are returning passports for travel internationally, they exert tight control over those who travel.

obviously this is just an article and mental health especially depression these days is an affect of our material conditions being very hard and as such, for many people true relief is something beyond reading articles or getting therapy. beyond political activities or mutual aid (the latter of which I'm presently unable to contribute), I wish I could help more towards this end. Anyway, I hope we can all make it through to better days.

So today El Salvadore announced that Bitcoin is not going to be legal tender anymore. They are doing as a condition for an IMF loan they want. I was gonna post that story but then I came across this, the dashboard for the National Bitcoin Office (maybe this permutation of words never be used again) of El Salvadore.

I don't really the knowledge to critique their policy on Bitcoin but this is morbidly interesting.
