While a team of Greenpeace activists have locked themselves inside the Agrifeeds storage shed to stop a shipload of palm kernal unloading, two orangutans have climbed onto the roof and deployed a 70m banner.

Must say there is something beautiful and healing about seeing a bunch of strangers in a #repairCafe helping each other fix their rice cookers, format their laptops, sew their teddy bears, patch up their clothes, figure out ways to solve problems with what they've got right there and each other.

Highly recommended activity to restore faith in ordinary people when we see so much cruelty from the top.

A handful of courageous individuals have filed a historic lawsuit against a known brand in the USA, alleging human trafficking and forced labor as they caught tuna sold by seafood brand Bumble Bee.

Allegations include accounts of violence, emotional abuse, untreated injuries, debt bondage, excessive work, lack of payment, and financial threats against family members of workers. Also accounts of the fishers coming together to protect each other. ✊

Libs are still going harder after voters who refused to endorse genocide than after politicians who did. 🙄

I'm once again begging people to add a smidge of "questioning power relations" to their politics.

#subtoot

"We're free speech absolutists, so here's a list of banned words and books."

"I'm committed to personal freedom and free markets, so my newspaper will only publish views exactly aligned to mine."

"We are tough-on-crime, except if it's by one of our guys."

I wish this was hyperbole.
The mask is well and truly off.

Shame. 😳

Children are extremely rarely (I'd even say never) needlessly cruel, mean spirited, cowardly, greedy, uncurious or full of themselves. (And if they ever are they picked it up from a grown up.)

Please do not refer to the awful fascist adults currently doing terrible things as children or babies.

Kids deserve more respect than to be used as insults.

I've never understood or liked the way American culture fetishises guns.

I have met American gun owners, and one of the most common arguments for widespread gun ownership was that it would prevent tyranny. That the people would rise against the oppressor, and they'd be well armed, and the would-be dictator would face a formidable resistance.

I had doubts about this argument then.

Nowadays, it seems to me that unarmed populations have been more willing to rise and depose their corrupt leaders.
