New @hrw.org report shows how Thai security personnel have engaged in racketeering through a semi-formalized system of extortion that involves “selling” unofficial “police cards” to Myanmar nationals looking for a pathway to documentation or just to avoid arrest. www.hrw.org/news/2025/07...

Thai authorities are threatening, extorting, and detaining Myanmar nationals who fled the abusive military junta to seek safety in Thailand.

"Carbon interests constrain public discourse at precisely the moments when public engagement is most likely."

In Australia we seldom speak of fossil fuels' contribution to extreme weather or election results.

Good article on the global south and carbon culture wars.

Well worth reading this piece by Khoo Ying Hooi which delves into the history of Chinese Diaspora in Timor-Leste & how new recent influxes of Chinese state & corporate actors are impacting them & the country & indeed ASEAN.
Nice nod to the need for people to people solidarity in the mix too.

Ariel's tribute to Southeast Asia historian Anthony Reid. "Accd to Tony, before the 19th century, women in SE Asia had more economic independence & authority than those in Europe, China or India. It was not because there was gender equality in SE Asia, but the societies were not very patriarchal."

Young people from Myanmar are being forced to choose between survival and service in a conflict they had no say in and strongly object to.

📖: mekongreview.com/fle...
Fleeing the draft By Jatuporn Susuadmo Fighting on multiple fronts against different opponents, the Myanmar military has unleashed devastating violence but also suffered defeats and incurred massive casualties. In response, the government announced in February 2024 that, if called upon, men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five and women between the ages of eighteen and twenty-seven will be required to serve in the military. Although this conscription is supposed to be for a term of up to two years, the law says it can be extended up to five years during a state of emergency—which Myanmar has been in since the coup. A spokesperson for the junta said that at least 13 million Myanmar citizens are eligible to be drafted. Zin Ko isn’t sure if he might be arrested before he manages to escape Myanmar. He dreams of becoming a professional video editor but suspects this ambition will never come to fruition. “It won’t be any different from other Myanmar people who also have their own dreams,” he says. “We have to live lives with no way out because of the evil military dictatorship that refuses to accept defeat.” It’s a pain shared by many of Myanmar’s young generation. Just a few weeks after the junta started enforcing the conscription law, it was estimated that thousands of young people flocked to Thailand, joining the many Myanmar citizens already living in Thailand illegally.
