!! Breaking !!: The Israeli Military Has Erected A Naval Blockade to Stop The Global Sumud Flotilla
Reportedly, there are at least 10-12
Israeli naval ships around less than 20 miles from where the fleet is currently located. Some reports suggest they are as close as five miles away.
Organizers are preparing crews before they reach the blockade and are treating it as an interception scenario.

seastersjones
Organizer Thiago Avila told Drop Site:
"We are arriving at a decisive moment of our mission... Right now we are moving closer to what seems to be their military blockade. From seven to twenty miles from here, there is a huge concentration of vessels and it matches the stated plans from the Israeli foreign ministry and the media consensus about what would happen tonight. And their stated plan of intercepting illegally our mission to break the siege and to create a humanitarian corridor."

The gap between Spain & Italy's coverage of Sumud Flotilla trying to break genocidal Gazan siege & Anglo world shocking. This is beginnings of a new outer/ international of hope & struggle vs fascism. Everyone who can should switch on live feed. This great interview:

Sudan, Congo, Myanmar need solidarity as well as those suffering genocide in Palestine...

Notice how capitalism's boosters never talk about all this as a product of capitalism, etc. They don't give a shit. Systemic violence, emotional & intellectual callousness the norm. It's how profit is made.

Still amazed stories & charts which shld be top of every newspaper & broadcast are absent, but then so too is the genocide and incredible global solidarity action with the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social. During and after the fascists failure to address the real causes of suffering-we will fight on.

August CO2 and methane data at NOAA just dropped.

The 3-year running average for the rate of CO2 growth continues to increase (now at 7.78 ppm per 3 years), and is nearing an all-time high.

Maybe if we all just hope a bit more, I'm sure that will change everything.

Cuando se menciona la Agenda 2030, sabes que hay conspiranoicos de derecha.

Cuando hay silencio sobre el Proyecto 2025 de la Fundación Heritage, que está implementando el gobierno de Trump, sabes que estás rodeado de neoliberales, fascistas o, simplemente, gente muy mal informada.

Yesterday I discovered that ChatGPT's PhD-level expertise didn't extend to bird anatomy. This morning I thought, perhaps I was being too hard on the half-trillion-dollar company. Birds are a little weird, anatomically speaking. Let's try something more familiar. A mammal. Behold.

Writing from Spain. Like DANA floods killing 228 in Valencia in October, RIGHT blaming coalition 'left' govt in Madrid- yet fire control is devolved regionally. Right climate negationists & fascist. Meanwhile govt is neoliberalism w bit social democracy so MINIMISE.

Capitalism ends or extinction.

He says we've now ruled out worst scenarios referencing 'hope' but just after a section on unknowns on 'tipping points'. So does former just mean total heating of planet independent of social effects ie: human extinction: 'gee it was never as hot as what thought might be possible when we all died?'
