TW/CW: Police violence

And again the oh so tolerant 🙄 City of #Amsterdam roars its ugly head! #Students that occupied #Binnengasthuis 1 (part of Amsterdam University) are beaten up by plain-clothed police. They don't even care to cover their faces anymore. They look (and behave) like a gang. Mayor #Halsema's own personal gang.

✏️ edit: It was another location, occupied after the #Maagdenhuis was evicted.

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!
