Biden lifts ban
Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range US missiles to
attack
places in Russia.
He should have done this months ago. Nuclear weapons aside, Putin
attacks using every weapon he has available, in whatever ways will
cause harm to someone. Even including war crimes.
Ukraine should not commit war crimes, and should not attack nuclear
weapons and facilities, but aside from that it should not hold back.
For his enemies to
restrain themselves in the hope that Putin will restrain himself is
foolish ince Putin doesn't do that. |

Massive gas industry expansion
*Australia accused of "exporting climate destruction" on tiny Pacific
neighbours with massive
gas expansion plans.*
Australia is not alone in doing this, but every country doing this
deserves condemnation in these clear terms.

Surviving the broligarchy
Advice for journalists, organizations and individuals about surviving under
fascism while dragging your
heels against its evil plans.
In particular, don't obey demands by anticipation. For instance, Anthony
Albanese, the PM of Australia, is resisting pressure from
Australians who want to do that.
I would add one more suggestion: if you can't refuse to obey when power
demands you do evil, at least refuse to disguise it. Show explicitly
that you are obeying orders, not making a decision of your own.

Fire control by Australian aboriginals
Australian aboriginals set fires to control the amount of shrubs, but
only in some regions. In some other regions, they almost never set
any fires.
Controlling large fires by setting small ones worked pretty well, but
one new complicating factor is that nowadays there are is a scattering
of man-made things that must not be burned — such as buildings and
fields of crops.

more ideas, from a student who resisted very cleverly.

Palestinians running out of food and water
Palestinians in Jabaliya in northern Gaza have run out of food and
water due to Israel's siege, so many of them are now forced to leave,
despite the danger and hardship of that.
I suppose those who are not capable of leaving will all die.
This is ethnic cleansing, a grave crime.

Amsterdam arresting participants of peaceful protests
Amsterdam is arresting people for participating in peaceful and harmless
protests for Palestinians' safety and human rights.
This is due to an "emergency order" that was a response, according to
the article, to violence started by Israeli soccer fans against
protesters peacefully condemning Israel's violence.
Maybe an emergency order was needed, but in order to serve its purpose
honestly it should have been enforced only against those who engaged
in violence, not against all protesters.
Not surprisingly, the cops vented violence on the protesters
supporting the rights of Palestinians.
