This explains so much.
It’s interesting how much the IDF’s constant ceasefire violations in Gaza and Lebanon line up with the way people familiar with Israeli culture say Israelis like to test everyone’s boundaries to find out exactly how much they can get away with.

🚨 In Newcastle today, Rising Tide painted “TAX ME” on a coal ship named Climate Justice, calling for a 78% fossil fuel profits tax to fund a just transition for workers + communities. Australia’s biggest polluters pay less tax than nurses.

I’ve spent eight years trying to get people to take part in civil disobedience.
Only 300 have gone to prison in that time. It’s not enough. Real change needs 500, maybe 1,000, willing to act — and to do it together, in a single month.
That’s how policy shifts. That’s how history turns.
