The military dictatorship in Burma has turned nasty against the pro-democracy protests spearheaded by Buddhist monks. UPDATE The first reports of deaths are coming in with battering to death the preferred option to shooting. Despite the limited access to the internet (UPDATE claims the junta is starting to reduce bandwidth), Burmese bloggers have played a key role in circumventing the press ban and getting information and images of the protest out of the country.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
