Barcelona city government is leaving X. better late than never I guess, but it's been at least a year now that you can't check the announcements if you don't have an account, so I don't understand why anyone still keeps doing their public communications there.
in a civil legal system like in Latin America or Europe, you have a national registry of persons. if you are a citizen, your are added to the registry, and you get a national ID card/number. citizenship is documented and recorded.
I kind of think AOC is the frontrunner for Democratic nominee for president in 2028 because, in addition to being a popular and effective politician, she is apparently the only one capable of rising to the challenge of the moment.

attention denizens of thepit.social!! we are defederating from Threads.net. if this makes you mad, tell us why and we might change our minds. but as it stands, our rationale is basically the same as Kevin's in the linked post: changes to the Threads.net moderation policy are intended to **specifically discriminate** against certain groups, and as a rule, we don't federate with instances that do that kind of thing. frankly, it is their loss, we are much cooler. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/113792479397874522
