On this day, 19 July 1936, the rebel Spanish military rose in Barcelona against the elected government. An unusual combination of anarchist and other workers with the loyal police, often fighting side by side, defeated them. By the next day. 450 lay dead. Photo Pérez de Rozas

On this day let's remember the women of Barcelona 1936 who began an incipient sexual revolution against reaction but also against attitudes of own males comrades who for all their utopian rhetoric were often as sexist as ever when home, but no surprises as has been so often the case elsewhere too

El Ayuntamiento de Barcelona abandona la red social X salvo para emergencias Es la primera gran ciudad española que opta por desvincularse de la plataforma controlada por Elon Musk, y solo mantendrá un canal para avisos

Barcelona becomes first Spanish city to leave Twitter except for emergency communications due to Musk's platform's "spiral of disinformation and intransigence that directly attacks democracy"
