The best time to imagine and build the digital commons in the public interest was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.

She is spot on. It’s not a peace plan, it’s a unilateral imposition of continued illegal occupation. A tragic farce adding insult to injury.
El plan de Trump y Netanyahu no es un plan de paz. Apoyarlo es seguir perpetuando la ocupación ilegal y el genocidio al pueblo palestino.

We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.
This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.

I picked up my paintbrush as a means to answer that question.
