NEW — Freedom Flotilla Coalition says there may soon be an attempt by Israel to intercept the Global Sumud Flotilla. Say radars show roughly 12 unidentified vessels, just 5-15 miles away.

Some flotilla boats seem to be losing connection, possibly experiencing signal jamming.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

Following a 24-hour general strike on September 22, the country is now gearing up for a national protest on October 4.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

As long as the far right shapes public opinion, and mainstream parties follow public opinion, the far right dominates politics, whether in government or not.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

I welcome President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and I am encouraged by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s positive response.

Se só lerem uma coisa este fim-de-semana, que seja este artigo do @direitosdigitais.pt.
Não sei se concordo com tudo, mas a verdade é que expõem aqui uma data de aspectos importantes e dão "tridimensionalidade" a um assunto que demasiadas vezes acaba por ser discutido bidimensionalmente.

Têm sido levantadas dúvidas jurídicas ao uso do Arquivo.pt para treino do LLM Amália. Há quem fale em "pirataria".

Tanto do ponto de vista legal quanto da defesa do acesso ao conhecimento, são alegações absurdas:

A company with a “Jurassic Park-like mission“ that boldly presented “the first dire wolves in 10,000 years” is teaming up with Kiwi backers, including Sir Peter Jackson and Ngāi Tahu.
