Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

“Australia hosts 89 active rare earth exploration projects, outpacing Canada, Brazil and the US…also investing heavily in processing capacity, and last year it was the top destination for rare earth exploration, with about 45 per cent of global investment” amp.scmp.com/economy/glob...
Can US-Australia rare earth deal loosen China’s grip on critical minerals trade?
New pact between Washington and Canberra intends to curb China’s dominance, boost local supply chains and secure the future of rare earths.

Or that a Bach Ma rain gauge in Vietnam recorded 1.8 meters of rain in 24 hours (greater than Darwin gets in a year).

Yeah we need artists and cinematographers to help people visualise these potential futures. At the last ice age indigenous peoples in Australia had to abandon 80% of the country. I asked a Canberra mate where was safe and she said ‘😳’.
