Will Trump Ever Admit Lockdown Was a Mistake? Mon Jul 22, 2024 19:35 | Jeffrey A. Tucker
Will Trump ever admit he was wrong to back lockdown in March 2020 ? a decision that doomed America to years of crisis and sank his re-election hopes that year? Jeffrey Tucker is hopeful that truth will finally prevail.

Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

President Biden delayed stepping down in part because he doubted Kamala Harris was up to the challenge of an election battle with Donald Trump, sources have said.

The Office of Budget Intractability Mon Jul 22, 2024 11:00 | Andrew Colllingwood
Labour has brought forward a Bill giving the Office of Budget Responsibility a "fiscal lock" over future economic policy. This is one more step in the erosion of parliamentary democracy, says Andrew Collingwood.

Just a word of thanks to all those who took part in the audio interviews and gave their time and thoughts so generously.

Breaking off into smaller groups to make that journey back to "blend in"
thanks for that report and the photos - usual emotions of sadness at protesters and respect at the smiling faces who are there to fight for the right to have their love respected.
This kind of pride is a far cry from the dublin pride - but do you know what - 10 years ago dublin pride was about 20 people doing a small little march and so its a great complaint that the dublin pride has now become a corporate sponsored event.
I've marched in alot of prides in the uk, here and america - ive managed the dyke march twice in new york and came across a good few anti gay protesters simply standing there watching us march by looking at us with their thumbs pointing down - and the banners are awful- its just that the hate is there and present in front of you.
its a crap feeling - especially if youre a big softie like me who cant understand why all people dont love and respect each other...(i still cant bring myself to watch the 2nd Revolt dvd cos i know i'll be crying for days)
anyway - heres hoping queers in Latvia, Poland and many many other countries will have the strength to keep fighting for their right to be in love in peace.
Dear Paula,
Thanks a lot for your great story, pictures and audios. It was great pleasure to meet and talk to you in Riga during the Friendship Days and Equality March.
I would also want to thank once again all the Latvian people, straight and LGBT, who came out on that day and supported democracy, humanity and respect in Latvia. Our huge thanks also go to all foreign guests who came over to Riga that weekend to support us in Latvia. It is important to say that they were not just supporting democracy in Latvia, but in entire Europe. Countries like Latvia, Poland and Romania are now members of the European Union and their governments are participating in making decisions which concern all people across European Union therefore ALL EU citizens should be concerned with developments in those countries. I also hope that the foreign support will also continue next and coming years as this is not yet a victory in Latvia, its just a beginning.
If anybody want to read more about what happened in Riga, I put together an archive with lots of articles and visual at ILGA-Europe website: http://www.ilga-europe.org/europe/guide/country_by_coun..._2007
Once again, thanks Paula and all who were out with us on that day and also many more who were with us in their minds and thoughts but could not join us, this is a beginning and indeed – We Shall Overcome!

Well done for making this happen. The rest of Europe and the rest of the world are watching and many of us are cheering for you.
I've visited Riga as a tourist and would love to be there for Pride sometime.

Dear Paula,
Thank you for this account of the events in Riga, and for sharing these great photos with us. Thanks also for linking up to our blog :o)
Hope to see you next year in Riga!
Anders
PS. Congratulations again to Mozaika for managing to make the Latvian LGBT fight for rights and respect so internationally known and supported. Your fight has touched the minds and hearts of LGBT activists and human rights advocates all over the world.
was held last Saturday. 8,000 turned out. The biggest and best pride so far.
Lots of photos here.

would be great if some one could post a bit about Dublin pride on indymedia, was looking for photos the next day n there didn't seem to be any.
photo story anyone??? Or just a story?
from one point of view, it's kinda sad, that instead marching in the streets, people had to march in a park behind the fences, but from other i'm really glad it happened at all. gay pride march in lithuania was banned by city council at all. and you should have seen that massive homophobic campaign that boneheads were doing there when council was considering the decision...
well done riga!
