Happy Independence Day, Soundlandians! Six years ago, the Republic of Soundland declared independence from the US to create a space for human rights. It now has nearly 60 citizens, embassies abroad, and is a familiar member of the intermicronational community. Democracy, Liberty, and Equality!

Every province in Canada is on fire. When will @mark-carney.bsky.social start protecting Canadians and take action on the climate crisis?

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

The Republic of Soundland is deeply concerned by the Government of India's excessive and unprovoked use of force against student protesters. Police have been reported as initiating a violent crackdown on dissent and an internet blackout, in violation of human rights. www.hrw.org/news/2026/07...

India: Excessive Force Used Against Student Protesters

Indian security forces used tear gas and batons to suppress largely peaceful student and youth protests in New Delhi on July 20, 2026.

As wildfires rage yet again in North America, all governments must recognize climate change as an existential crisis demanding immediate action. States that ignore this threat should be held accountable for every death due to their criminal negligence.

As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, we must face the truth that American democracy is dead. Neighbors die in concentration camps. Troops roam the streets arresting dissidents. Corruption is blatant and unrestrained. A unstable president unilaterally declares war.

Disappointed but not surprised by the Carney government’s abandonment of their emission reduction targets. Saying they did so for global stability as thousands die of extreme heat is ridiculous. The climate apocalypse threatens to end society as we know it.

Canada will not hit carbon emission reduction targets set under the Trudeau government, Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video posted to YouTube. He argued that downgrading the country’s climate-change ambitions is necessary for global stability and national unity.

Happy Canada Day to our Canadian neighbors!

The Republic of Soundland condemns the recent and inhumane SCOTUS ruling against transgender athletes, which not only dehumanizes transgender people, but will result in forced genital inspection of minors. This ruling is incompatible with international law and children’s rights.

Human rights is an illegal subject to teach in the United States.

"Ms. Adams was investigated under a controversial law passed in Indiana meant to further “intellectual diversity” and prevent students from being subjected to political views unrelated to the course." The course: “Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice.”

Happy Juneteenth, United States! Today, we mark the day that news of freedom reached enslaved people in the American state of Texas.

@npr.org This minimizing of Internally Displaced Trans Persons, who are fleeing their home states out of the very real fear of prosecution or violence is deeply troubling. Their experiences can not be compared to those who move simply because of their personal politics.

this is a story about a person who fled to seattle because their life was threatened because of who they are, the other a person who fled seattle because he was a selfish and entitled person who felt out of place these are not the same www.npr.org/2026/06/08/n...

The American government is ruled by war criminals.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that the creation of a “trillionaire” represents a giant and complete failure of public policy and government.

No person should have a trillion dollars. This unfathomable hight of wealth has been created by decades of incredible exploitation and deep seated corruption. The American people must realize the scale of their oppression by the ruling class and take action.

Just a reminder: society doesn’t work without workers.

President Morber has just met with Culture & Heritage Secretary Amos Tremble and a citizen who has developed a Soundlandian language, named ‘Soundish’. Soundish is inspired by the mountainous Puget Sound region and Soundlandian values. More details to come soon!

The Republic of Soundland holds severe concerns over the United States’ ability to control and prevent the spread of infectious diseases within its borders. Our first concern is the protection of Soundlandians from diseases spread by this mismanagement.

Happy Cascadia Day!

The 2026 National Senate election is ongoing, and will conclude on May 19th. Speaker Aidan Kraft is the only incumbent in the race, seeking his third term. This is the first election in Soundland to feature only independent candidates.

Here’s a great idea for energy security: stop being reliant on fuel. Might be better than ramping up production of what is killing everything on this earth. But what do we know? We’re just the youth inheriting the future you’re making.

We are deeply concerned by reports of coordination between ICE and the NYPD. We call on @mayor.nyc.gov to put an end to city collaboration in enforced disappearances.

Brad Lander@bradlander.bsky.social · 3mo ago

ICE has been ratcheting up their presence in Bushwick & East NY in recent days. It is especially disturbing to see apparent coordination between NYPD & ICE. (1/2)

We’re proud to have finally made our exit from Twitter official! As one of the first Micronations to join Bsky, we had essentially already made the switch several years ago, but finally updated our account to confirm that.

This is the true question that so many nations who champion human rights are so afraid of. The global North has a responsibility for their actions.

Coworker told me she attended a recent forum at @thecityclub.bsky.social. Seated at their table was the Bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland. in conversation, he learned where she worked. “Sewer district?” the bishop said. “With the great social media?”

The Trump administration does not represent a legitimate government. Popular sovereignty must be reestablished in the United States.
