The resistance in Myanmar isn't always easy to donate to directly
One place is:

There are also orgs doing humanitarian aid work in areas the Junta won't allow aid to get to which also helps!

Just two days before the US declared four supposed "antifa" groups as terrorists, I wrote about this very scenario - and how it sets a legal precedent for a broader attack on the US left, which will soon focus on anti-ICE activists and non-profits. No paywall!

Nothing we do is sufficient, and everything we do matters.
We must be strategic, and we must operate on multiple fronts simultaneously.
Time is of the essence, and we have to act for the long haul.

"Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, and Abuse are preventable crimes. In revolutionary spaces, every case left unaddressed doesn’t just hurt individuals, it weakens the entire movement" :- @sisters2sistersmm.bsky.social

Events thread has a bunch of good events in it too. 👇
mtacalendar.bsky.social Milk Tea Alliance Calendar @mtacalendar.bsky.social · 6h
Tis the weekend #MilkTeaAlliance & here is the events🧵for it.

To start want to highlight this call from @sisters2sistersmm.bsky.social & PSHEA Advocacy Network, to remove Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, and Abuse from within our orgs & movements.
More about this later in thread.
1/
“If prevention costs less than cure — why are so many organizations still waiting for harm to happen before taking action?” Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, and Abuse are preventable crimes. In revolutionary spaces, every case left unaddressed doesn’t just hurt individuals — it weakens the entire movement. Accountability must have No Exception. Adopting a PSHEA Policy (Protection from Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, and Abuse) is not just a bureaucratic step — it’s a political will and a commitment to safety for all genders in our movement. တော်လှန်ရေးမှာ စွမ်းစွမ်းတမံ ပါ၀င်ဆောင်ရွက်နေပြီး သင်ယူစိတ်အပြည့်ရှိတဲ့ အဖွဲ့အစည်း အသစ်တွေကို သိပါသလား။ တော်လှန်ရေးရပ်၀န်း၊ လုပ်ငန်းခွင်များအတွင်း လိင်ပိုင်းဆိုင်ရာ နှောင့်ယှက်ခြင်း၊ ခေါင်းပုံဖြတ်ခံရခြင်းနှင့် အကြမ်းဖက်ခြင်းတို့သည် ကာကွယ်တားဆီး၍ရနိုင်သော ပြစ်မှုများဖြစ်သည်။ အဆိုပါ ဖြစ်ရပ်များကို ကိုင်တွယ်ဖြေရှင်းမှု မပြုနိုင်ခြင်းသည် အဆိုပါအဖွဲ့နှင့် ကြုံတွေ့နစ်နာခဲ့ရသူများအတွက်သာ ထိခိုက်ရသည်မဟုတ် - လှုပ်ရှားတစ်စုံလုံး၏ သိက္ခာနှင့် တန်ဖိုးပါ ယုတ်လျော့စေပါသည်။ တာဝန်ယူမှု၊ တာ၀န်ခံမှုတွင် ခြွင်းချက်မရှိရပါ။ PSHEA မူဝါဒ (လိင်ပိုင်းဆိုင်ရာ နှောင့်ယှက်မှု၊ ခေါင်းပုံဖြတ်မှုနှင့် အကြမ်းဖက်မှုမှကာကွယ်ရေး) ကို ပြဌာန်း ကျင့်သုံးခြင်းသည် အဖွဲ့အစည်း အကျိုးစီးပွား၊ နာမည်ရရေး သက်သက်သာမဟုတ် ၊ ၄င်းသည် နိုင်ငံရေးစိတ်ဆန္ဒနှင့် ကျွန်ုပ်တို့၏လှုပ်ရှားမှုအတွင်းရှိ ဂျန်ဒါအစုံ လူအားလုံးအတွက် ဘေးကင်းလုံခြုံရေးအတွက် ကနဦး ကတိကဝတ်တစ်ရပ်ဖြစ်ပါသည်။

This was Alessandra Korap Munduruku this morning. She lives in the Brazilian state where COP is taking place this year! She was not given a pass into the Blue Zone.

These are the voices you should be listening to, boosting, and celebrating. Not the politicians who are attending #COP30!

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

A few years ago, Hongkonger youths took to the streets to demand democratic reforms. This was a picture of Chinese University in 2019 (Citizen news, HKFP)

There was a heightened crackdown and surge in arrests against critics and opponents of the election during October. Arrests were made even for giving "reactions" (such as likes or emojis) to social media posts that criticized the election.

Unfortunately, it also makes Reform moderate by comparison, which it's not. Them being in bed together is no mistake...

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
