But before we got there we were notified that one of the musicians that performed at our event, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>activist</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rapper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rapper</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/friend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>friend</span></a> Anonimo Uno, had been arrested in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/metro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>metro</span></a> (another activist, his partner, was also arrested but quickly released).</p><p>He had been caught putting up a sticker. For this he was attacked, pinned, and put in pain compliance positions by a plethora of uniformed state thugs, before being dragged off. His partner was arrested for bravely recording the attack, getting out the video that was key, not only as viral propaganda, but as legal evidence. </p><p>And what did they charge him with? Groping a police officer, while hand-cuffed and pinned down. This may be an emerging new tactic of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mexican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/state" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>state</span></a> of weaponizing new sex assault laws against activists.</p><p>After we got over the inicial confusion plus a hour or so of not knowing where he had been taken, or as we say "in a disappeared state" a plan was made to mass up in front of the Fiscalía (DA?), a building unaffectionately known as "el bunker". It wasnt the first time we held space in front of that building, and it definitively wont be the last. </p><p>Fortunately the bunker is next to a relatively main transit artery, which we are sure to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/block" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>block</span></a> and form some minor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/barricades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>barricades</span></a> every time we visit. </p><p>As the news got around, more and more folks showed up, numbering over a hundred.We made some noise, painted messages of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/liberation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>liberation</span></a> on the walls, kept blocking the roads and after a few hours of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disruption</span></a>, Anonimo was freed and in the company of his very relived mother and friends. </p><p>Both freed hommies told us of their ordeal over a megaphone, and the crowd hissed and cursed the police every time their violence was exposed. We shouted at full volume, "death to the state, long live <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anarchy</span></a>", and "a conscious police shots themselves in the head" (it rhymes in spanish).</p><p>Afterwards, the vast majority of the rabble walked together to the nearest metro. This was for security, but also the time honored tradition of "metro popular". For the uninitiated, this is basically taking over the turnstile area en mass, opening the side doors, and letting everyone (radical and passerby alike) to enter for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/free" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>free</span></a>. Of course this is accompanied by a lot of yelling: declarations of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a>, uncomfortable truths, brutal take downs of the state. </p><p>For my part, i hung around the metro for a bit, saying my see you laters, soaking in the alboroto echoing off the metro walls, then biked home in a light drizzle.</p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 18, 1918: U.S. authorities arrested Mexican anarchist Ricardo Flores Magón under the Espionage Act. They charged him with hindering the American war effort and imprisoned him at Leavenworth, where he died under highly suspicious circumstances. The authorities claimed he died of a "heart attack," but Chicano inmates rioted after his death and killed the prison guard who they believed executed him. Magon published the periodical “Regeneracion” with his brother Jesus, and with Licenciado Antonio Horcasitas. The Magonostas later led a revolution in Baja California during the Mexican Revolution. Many American members of the IWW participated. During the uprising, they conquered and held Tijuana for several days. Lowell Blaisdell writes about it in his now hard to find book, “The Desert Revolution,” (1962). Dos Passos references in his “USA Trilogy.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/literary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literary</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/historicalfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historicalfiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RicardoFloresMagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RicardoFloresMagon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/magon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>magon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/magonistas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>magonistas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mexico</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mexican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chicano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chicano</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Riot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Riot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 17, 1966: 100 striking Mexican American and Filipino farmworkers marched from Delano, California to Sacramento to pressure the growers and the state government to answer their demands for better working conditions and higher wages, which were, at the time, below the federal minimum wage. By the time the marchers arrived, on Easter Sunday, April 11, the crowd had grown to 10,000 protesters and their supporters. A few months later, the two unions that represented them, the National Farm Workers Association, led by César Chávez, and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee, joined to form the United Farm Workers. The strike was launched on September 8, 1965, by Filipino grape pickers. Mexicans were initially hired as scabs. So, Filipino strike leader Larry Itliong approached Cesar Chavez to get the support of the National Farm Workers Association, and on September 16, 1965, the Mexican farm workers joined the strike. During the strike, the growers and their vigilantes would physically assault the workers and drive their cars and trucks into the picket lines. They also sprayed strikers with pesticides. The strikers persevered nonviolently. They went to the Oakland docks and convinced the longshore workers to support them by refusing to load grapes. This resulted in the spoilage of 1,000 ten-ton cases of grapes. The success of this tactic led to the decision to launch a national grape boycott, which would ultimately help them win the struggle against the growers.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cesarchavez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cesarchavez</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ufw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ufw</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/delano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>delano</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grapestrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>grapestrike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mexican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/filipino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>filipino</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/boycott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boycott</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scab</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vigilantes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vigilantes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/larryitliong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>larryitliong</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sacramento" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sacramento</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>America’s Forgotten History of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ForcedSterilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ForcedSterilization</span></a> </p><p>By Sanjana Manjeshwar on November 4, 2020</p><p>"In early September, a nurse working at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a>) detention center in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Georgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Georgia</span></a> came forward with shocking allegations of medical neglect and abuse, claiming that numerous involuntary <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hysterectomies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hysterectomies</span></a> (uterus removal surgeries) were performed on detained <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImmigrantWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImmigrantWomen</span></a>. This allegation understandably evoked fury and outrage among the general public, with numerous people denouncing it as a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> violation and yet another example of the current administration’s cruelty towards women and immigrants. Many people, including prominent liberal politicians and public figures, viewed it as something distinctly un-American and at odds with our country’s values — a common refrain that echoed in response to the allegation was 'This isn’t the America I know.'

Unfortunately, this is a misleading impression. </p><p>"While the allegations against ICE are undoubtedly horrific and must be investigated, they are not at all unprecedented or un-American — in fact, they are very American. The United States has a long, egregious, and largely unknown history of eugenics and forced <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sterilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sterilization</span></a>, primarily directed towards <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoorWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoorWomen</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisabledWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledWomen</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenOfColor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenOfColor</span></a>. </p><p>"The American <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> movement originated in the late 1800s and has always been undeniably based in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nativism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nativism</span></a>. The word 'eugenics' originally referred to the biological improvement of human genes, but was used as a pseudoscience to justify discriminatory and destructive acts against supposedly undesirable people, such as extremely restrictive <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImmigrationLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImmigrationLaws</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiMiscegenationLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiMiscegenationLaws</span></a>, and forced sterilization. The ultimate goal of the eugenics movement was to 'breed out' undesirable traits in order to create a society with a 'superior' genetic makeup, which essentially meant reducing the population of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonWhite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NonWhite</span></a> and the mentally ill. The eugenics movement was widely accepted in American society well into the 20th century, and was not at all relegated to the fringes of society like one might expect. In fact, most states had federally funded eugenics boards, and state-ordered sterilization was a common occurrence. Sterilization was seen as one of the most effective ways to stem the growth of an 'undesirable' population, since ending a woman’s reproductive capabilities meant that she would no longer be able to contribute to the population.</p><p>"The Supreme Court case Buck v. Bell (1927) decided that a Virginia law authorizing the mandatory sterilization of inmates in mental institutions was constitutional. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarrieBuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CarrieBuck</span></a>, a 'feeble minded woman' whose mental illness had been in her family for the past three generations, was committed to a state mental institution and was set to undergo a sterilization procedure which required a hearing.

According to a report by historian Jane Lawrence, the Indian Health Service was accused of sterilizing nearly 25% of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> women during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1973, the year that Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court, supposedly ensuring reproductive rights for all American women, the reproductive rights of thousands of Indigenous women were entirely ignored as they were forcibly sterilized. </p><p>"Forced sterilization, especially in exchange for a sentence reduction, occurs often in the criminal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LegalSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LegalSystem</span></a> today. Government-sanctioned efforts to prevent incarcerated people from reproducing were widespread in the 20th century, and still continue today. In 2017, a judge in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tennessee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tennessee</span></a> offered to reduce the jail sentences of convicted people who appeared before him in court if they <br>'volunteered' to undergo sterilization.

In 2018, an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oklahoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oklahoma</span></a> woman convicted of cashing a counterfeit check received a reduced sentence after undergoing sterilization at the suggestion of the judge. According to a report by the Center for Investigative Reporting, almost 150 women considered likely to return to prison were sterilized in California prisons between 2004 and 2003. Although they had to sign 'consent' forms, the procedure, when posed as an incentive for a reduced sentence, generates an ongoing debate about whether or not consent actually exists in these situations. Proponents of the sterilization of incarcerated individuals often cite a lack of 'personal responsibility,' when in reality, many of these individuals face a lack of support and resources. Even if incarceration was somehow the singular determinant of one’s morals and character, sterilization as part of a prison sentence is still a fundamental violation of the right to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReproductiveAutonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReproductiveAutonomy</span></a> — something judges and prison officials choose to ignore."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://bpr.studentorg.berkeley.edu/2020/11/04/americas-forgotten-history-of-forced-sterilization/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bpr.studentorg.berkeley.edu/20</span><span class="invisible">20/11/04/americas-forgotten-history-of-forced-sterilization/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reproductiverights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reproductiverights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BodilyAutomony" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BodilyAutomony</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>As California's first Atmospheric River of the season dies out, I thought folks might like to read my article: "Worse Than the Big One," about the Great Flood of 1862, caused by nonstop Atmospheric Rivers lasting more than 40 days straight.</p><p>It was the worst natural disaster to hit the west in the last 160 years, inundating much of the land, from Oregon to San Diego. The agriculturally rich Central Valley became a vast inland sea, 300 miles long and 20 miles wide. The state capital in Sacramento was under water for six months, forcing the government to relocate to San Francisco. 33% of California’s state property was destroyed, along with one in every eight private homes. Thousands of people died, possibly up to 1% of California’s entire population. And while floods of this magnitude used to happen every 200 years or so, models generated by Daniel Swain and researchers at UCLA’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences found that they will now happen roughly every 65 years, due to the effects of climate change. Swain also predicts a 20% increase in the intensity of megastorms, meaning the next one could be far more devastating.</p><p>The event also influenced the course of wars. In New Mexico Territory, for example, the flooded Rio Grande impeded the California Column as it attempted to cut off the retreating Confederate Army of New Mexico, allowing them to escape into Texas. And in California’s Owens Valley, it brought the Paiutes, who were on the brink of starvation because the storms had decimated the wild game they relied on, into conflict with ranchers, who were trespassing on their lands to graze their herds. Over 200 Native Americans died in the Owens Valley Indian War (1862-1867), along with roughly 60 members of the California Militia.</p><p>Even without the effects of climate change, the consequences of a megaflood today are much more serious than they were in 1862, when California had only 500,000 residents. Today there are hundreds of communities and large cities just in the vulnerable Central Valley, with a combined population of 6.5 million people. The Sacramento area, alone, is home to more than one million people, while Fresno has over 500,000 people, and Bakersfield has nearly 400,000 residents. The Central Valley includes the flood plains of two major rivers, the Sacramento and the San Joaquin, as well as many smaller rivers that drain down from the Sierra Nevada mountains.</p><p>This is not just a problem for Californians, either. Another flood like the one in 1862 would have a dire effect on the availability and cost of food for everyone in the U.S. The Central Valley comprises less than 1% of all U.S. farmland, yet it produces 25% of the nation’s food supply, including 90% of the broccoli, carrots, garlic, celery, grapes, tangerines, and plums, as well as 40% of the lettuce, cabbage, oranges, peaches and peppers, and over 20% of the milk. That is $46 billion worth of food annually, double the next most agriculturally productive state in the U.S.</p><p>A megaflood would also be an ecological nightmare. There are still lots of cows in California, nearly 4 million, to be precise. A massive flood would severely pollute the soil and groundwater with rotting carcasses, highly pathogenic H5N1 birdflu, and concentrated manure. Then there are all the other toxins in the region, like fertilizers and pesticides. In Kern County, alone, farmers use 30 million pounds of pesticides per year, while California, as a whole, uses over 200 million pounds of pesticides. Kern County is also one of the nation’s most prolific oil-producing regions, generating 70% of California’s oil and more than double what the state of Louisiana produces. It also has two large refineries. A major flood would pull much of these toxins into the soil and ground water and quickly spread them throughout the flooded regions, creating by far the biggest Superfund clean-up site in the nation’s history.</p><p>You can read the full article here: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2023/01/04/worse-than-the-big-one-californias-coming-megaflood-2/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">michaeldunnauthor.com/2023/01/</span><span class="invisible">04/worse-than-the-big-one-californias-coming-megaflood-2/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atmosphericriver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atmosphericriver</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombcyclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bombcyclone</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inflation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flood</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/california" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>california</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mexican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disaster</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>H5N1</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/birdflu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>birdflu</span></a></p>
