#JoannaMacy passed on July 19th. Plum Village has reposted a moving episode in her memory. 
"A scholar of #Buddhism, systems theory, and deep ecology, Joanna Macy (1929 -2025), PhD, was one of the most respected voices in the movements for #peace, #justice, and #ecology. She interweaved her scholarship with learnings from six decades of #activism, had written twelve books, and laught an empowerment approach known as the Work That Reconnects."

"Barrister Raza Husain, acting on behalf of Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori, described the ban as “an authoritarian and blatant abuse of power”. What we have witnessed and experienced in reporting on the proscription so far already backs this up.
Enforcement of the ban has been alarmingly inconsistent and often heavy-handed. Justice Chamberlain heard about this at length on Monday, with Ammori’s team arguing that members of the public have “effectively been gagged” for “trying to stop violations of international law by Israel” at a time when “an entire population is being starved” in Gaza.
While some 300 people have been arrested for holding signs that explicitly state support for the group, others have held the same signs and been left alone. At least one person has been told by police that support for the Palestinian cause in general is now a terror offence, and people have been stopped for holding signs and wearing T-shirts with slogans that are similar to those used in support of the group, but should still technically be perfectly legal.
This opaque and inconsistent application of the law has created a climate of fear for the public and for the press. It makes it even more imperative that the state issue clear guidance for journalists. Yet in three weeks, we have still not been able to get information on what we are and aren’t allowed to do – and not for lack of trying."

My latest #ecofriendly idea in a bilingual (Hungarian-English) blog post. #Copyright infringements (of movies) should be found and punished, maybe this would be an ethical use of #AI (artifical intelligence), but good laws might be a better idea to achieve this.

We have arrived! 
SD adventures. When arriving, it's a very short walk with pavement and then a long a grass verge until you arrive at the site.
There is moderate police presence on the roads outside the camp. This is standard policing response and mirrors last year. The police are not legally allowed to enter the site.
Tents will start to go up today and we will continue tomorrow. Come down, get involved, we are all crew!
New on #TheFutureIsFederated 
"The Future is Federated: Year 2" - where I take a look back at a year of posts (and some cringy early ones), argue that the #Fediverse is collectivist in nature (as opposed to the individualism of Big Tech platforms) and discuss my plans for the future of this blog series... and what success for the Fediverse looks like to me (spoiler alert: slow organic growth and sustainability)

"..the release of the most anticipated advisory opinion scheduled to be delivered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ)"
"Themes of climate justice in litigation, negotiation, and social movements are deeply interconnected, rather than isolated from one another. Youth, who are active across all these spheres, often serve as key advocates, thereby reshaping governance dynamics in the process"

Cherie Wong writes about the need to dismantle Han supremacy and build solidarity with Indigenous peoples and other peoples seeking self-determination
"Beijing’s ethnonationalism is not the one-true Han Chinese culture. No such thing exists. There are diverse languages, cultural practices, and regional identities within the broad Han category."
We just want to say thank you. The sense of community here is honestly incredible. We’re constantly inspired by all of you tirelessly showing up, speaking out, and standing strong against this administration!

The #spycops public inquiry has extended its timetable into 2027 & beyond. While nobody like delays, we do want a thorough inquiry rather than a rush job. The blame for the length lies with police obstructions 2014-20 & the Inquiry letting them do it.
