3 days ago (on the 11th), a man named Matt Nelson self-immolated outside the Israeli consulate in Boston. I don't remember seeing any posts about this until now, and it was X where I finally heard about this, not nostr.

We have a protocol beginning to offer censorship resistance, but the people are still not resisting censorship? Do better, folks. I'm going to keep being more disappointed in all of you if it takes 3 days to let me know this again next time.

For those unaware, this was the 3rd time in the US someone has self-immolated outside an Israeli embassy or consulate since October 7.

Here's the 60 second video Matt Nelson recorded of his final words.

Credit to @Lowkey0nline on X for the post from which I got all this info.

Possibly the fourth person in the US according to @ainjibi on X.

There still seems to be no information available about the woman who self-immolated in Atlanta in December. I cannot find her name, or even whether she survived, after it was initially reported that she was in critical condition at the time.

Not directly related but reminds me of this - the suppression of information these days is bizarre.
