'unhoused'

What a lousy term for people denied a place to go home to. For a drink of clean water. To bathe. To make a meal. To sleep in peace. To raise kids. To care for relatives. To be happy or sick or to work or to study or to simply go to the bathroom or change clothes.

All the stuff we take for granted while protesting our workloads and troubles and taxes.

Which I don't mean as criticism of you - our media and politicians have been pushing the word.

@f800gecko So far South Africa with its determination to shed the shackles of apartheid, is the only country showing leadership with Spain and Ireland dragging along behind. Sad, sad, sad....
I usually post LinkedIn cringe but this is too good

There is important and useful detail in this item on potential issues around the narrative & tech issue you've boosted:

What happened to the fuel-control switches on doomed Air India flight 171?

A US media report shifts focus onto the actions of the captain of the aircraft, which crashed in Ahmedabad.

Ukrainian hackers, with military intel support, wiped 47TB of data from Russian drone maker Gaskar Integration, halting operations and exposing links with China. Systems and backups destroyed, production paralyzed.

A thoughtful, clear-eyed meditation on the impacts of Gaza here.

Is the world prepared to receive, to think, and most importantly, to act upon it?

Germany, in my mind, of all nations, ironically, could speak powerfully enough, and with enough experience, understanding, remorse and conviction, to open a path forward.

Would that they take that courageous leadership step to help the rest of the world forward...

"Because the #Holocaust has been so relentlessly invoked by the state of #Israel and its defenders as a cover-up for the crimes of the I.D.F., the study and remembrance of the Holocaust could lose its claim to be concerned with universal #justice and retreat into the same ethnic ghetto in which it began its life at the end of World War II" https://archive.ph/T88Dw#selection-1397.174-1397.511

Carney to defund Canada

We've seen this movie before

The final assault on nature ...

“We will not stand by while our rivers are poisoned and our forests destroyed. The Peruvian government made commitments it has now failed to honor, so we are acting to defend our territory and the future of our people. This is our duty as Wampís, guided by Tarimat Pujut – our vision of life in balance with nature.”

The mining oligarchs are doing the killing for us, for our lifestyles, for our conveniences

"The Wampis have to confront illegal gold miners alone, despite the Peruvian government's supposed offensive against organized crime promoting gold exploitation."
