Within this post, I generally try to identify what is considered “good” news in green, possibly also with green background, but owing to time, energy, and health limitations, may not always be able to do so.

Noting the excellent daily aggregation of globalonews links at https://everythingbriefing.substack.com/
On the existential climate crisis & nuclear threats and environmental issues this week:
Are our leaders too emotionally incompetent - too incompetent at being human - to recognise the threat?
“planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’”; Australia's rainforests are now net emitters; as “greenhouse emissions linked to a gas field being developed by Australian fossil fuel company Woodside could lead to the death of at least 480 people and expose more than half a million to unprecedented heat, new research suggests”, “two legal challenges to Woodside’s North West Shelf extension filed on environmental and cultural grounds”; the EU has loosened the reporting rules ... ; how, as with us here in Australia, went down the landlordism (my word) housing market trap; a The Guardian exclusive reports a Qld anti-renewables group cited papers that don't exist in a submissions that used AI (this is not a new AI problem);
In the global war against f_sc_sm (and “producerism” and sociocide) - whichoisofought wherever we are (note the advice/examples/guidance on resistance here, here, here, here, here, here, here, this [on the efficacy of nonviolent protest], this book, this book, this, and these) this week:
big tech is hiding its erosion of democracy, and fossils have been accused of threatening jobs; concerns over Australia making 9/11 powers permanent; as a global crisis of high death rates amongst young people is recognised, younger Australians - who are more affected by AI-induced jobs, the climate crisis, inequality, etc - have less sense of belonging to Australia; Australia's High Court has upheld the denial of a visa to a divisive right wing extremist from the USA; the zealous anti-democracy rantings of “a mind deranged by money and power” who has power; a criticism of “framing digital ID as border security [as] a cynical sleight of hand”; “Toxic Masculinity Isn’t Strength — It’s Insecurity in Uniform” - which is based on an excellent comparison between a macho toxic male sheriff and a female sheriff elsewhere; hope in the UK; de-escalation; “The biggest lie in economics: why “rational man” or “homo economicus” never existed” (to read my views written by an expert is a breath of fresh air after half a century); “Protest is democracy in motion, not a crime” - and, in NSW, Australia, “sweeping anti-protest police powers have been declared invalid after they were rushed through a state parliament despite concerns from faith leaders and legal experts” - see also this critique and criticism on the supposed-to-be-progressive party's persistent, conservative, ultra right wing "tough-on-crime" choices; noting past successes under similar circumstances, a call to stand up for our AI-threatened livelihoods now as “AI is not industrially inevitable. At present, it’s not even sustainable”; Morocco’s king has “urged elected officials to stop wasting time and fix social injustices”; Canada's attempt to fix the problems in a bill restricting border access has been criticised; a posthumous autobiography has revealed a ‘network of privilege’ that protected powerful men amidst a wider misogynistic culture;
Items of concern/note (and associated resistance/actions) in/regarding the USA and theiroleader, noting this on “a slight change of activist focus”, include:
increasingly egregious violence and abuses - including of US citizens - by ICE; a detailed examination of the recent security memo (not an EO) which classified dissent as domestic t_r r_r_sm and how that is being implemented; a Meidas Touch Network exclusive reports that the current US regime may launch missiles from into the area of a military base on the same day as protest marches; the often antisemitic “anti-Soros strategy at the heart of [the US leader]’s war on progressive nonprofits”;
surprisingly, a food aid programme will receive funding to continue operations; unsurprisingly, the promise to provide an air base for a formerly criticised nation on US soil is receiving a backlash; “US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information”; mental health and disease control have been further crippled in the USA; action to reduce medical debts; visas have been revoked for six people who didn't buy intoocultoherooworship; “The Laws of Armed Conflict: A Norm and Standard US Armed Forces Must Follow”; the current US regime has been found to have violated a court order;
- Evidence of the USoleader’s and/or his regime's unsuitability (including mentally) this week include: this, this, this, this (extension of a gerrymander), this, this, this, this;
- Lies by theoUSoleader this week include: this;
§ On migration, border control, rendition, deportations, and associated legal matters, Mali has responded in kind against the USA's bond requirement for visas; emergency relief in some counties for those affected by ICE's campaigns; ICE agents have been ordered to wear body cameras;
Items of concern/note (and associated resistance/actions) in/regardingoUkraine/Russia (et al) include:
The EU and Ukraine have deepened economic ties as Germany provides air defence units to Ukraine (and a German airline calls for drones threatening airports to be shot down), the UK and Ukraine sign a military technology agreement, the Netherlands provides Ukraine with the first of two minesweeper ships, and the USA - which is falling behind Russia and China on hypersonic cruise missiles - approves US$500 million in security assistance and the USoleader warns he may - noting the USA also needs them - give Ukraine Tomahawk cruise missiles (which have new, mobile, ground launchers) - to Russia's concern, and a warning it "will do everything necessary" to ensure its safety in that event ... and, after talking to Russia's leader, the Russia-friendly US leader warned Ukraine providing Tomahawks could escalate the war. A report has identified a recent 43% decrease in aid to Ukraine, following which Germany pledged $2 billion in aid; Ukraine has appointed its first military ombudsman; Hungary has launched a domestic petition against Europe's aid to Ukraine; Ukraine's attempt to reorganise its army from a Brigade model to a Corp model does not appear to be working; NATO's Secretary-General followed up being an amathiac, toxic masculinity fool - again, with a more sensible assessment of relative capabilities of NATO and Russia, although he has likely, IMO, underestimated Russia's drone capabilities; an examination of why the USoleader's diplomacy in West Asia will not work in Ukraine ... the USoleader thinks TĂĽrkiye's president could mediate in Ukraine ... ;
Russia has threatened Moldova with invasion for a pro-Europe election result; Latvia has ordered 800 Russian citizens to leave, Estonia has closed its border with Russia in response to increased, unusual Russian military activity - including seeing Russian soldiers without insignias (who were a prominent tactic during the 2014 invasion of Crimea) ... ; Russian aligned Belarus is undertaking a "military readiness check";
Seven EU nations have increased their energy imports from Russia this year (but India has responded to US pressure by saying it will stop importing Russian fossils in due course) as Russia increases its domestic supplies in response to Ukrainian attacks; Russia is likely helping North Korea - which has displayed a new missile at a parade - with its submarine development; Russia has lured women from Africa to drone factories; suppression of dissent in Russia; 96 of the over 1,000 Cubans fighting for Russia in Ukraine are reportedly dead or missing;
On other international affairs/political news matters this week:
Items of concern/note (and associated resistance/actions) in/regardingoWest Asiaoinclude:
The ceasefire is holding with actions occurring - often to joy (although some hostages were tortured), with Israel's PM "trapped" between the USoleader (who has been welcomed by Israelis wants this to lead to regional peace, albeit in a somewhat naĂŻve way) and his government's far right, but there are issues to address, including: the absence of democracy ("colonisation, 2025 style"), nothing about who will pay to rebuild Gaza, continuing threats to existence - protests are continuing together with calls for boycotts to lead to action and tech companies to withdraw support for Israel, silencing of pro-Palestinian movements (including misreporting anti-Palestinian actions as antisemitism!!!), the need for free journalistic access to Gaza, _ and “H___s deploys armed fighters and police across parts of Gaza Group targets [i.e., executes] ‘collaborators and traitors’ in move that raises concerns for disarmament considered crucial to ceasefire deal”. H___s' slow return of the bodies of deceased hostages also led to restrictions on aid; some bodies are reportedly not those of hostages, and H___S says it cannot reach others. A criticism of the US leader's motivations around the ceasefire - and a reminder that this plan was actually Biden's, as well as a look at what may happen based on Iraq;
Returning Palestinians are searching the rubble for lost, loved ones,
After weeks of "youth led" protests, a coup has occurred in Madagascar; clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan have seen the border closed after dozens were killed - and calls for restraint from Qatar, and eventually Pakistan and Afghanistan announced a ceasefire; as the UK "races" further to the right, a statement that the “UK must accept Scottish devolution is ‘unfinished’”; unrest in Pakistan administered Kashmir; the USoleader is tryingotoocontrolohowoArgentiniansovote; the USA’s leader “has confirmed he authorised the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela, marking a sharp escalation in US efforts to pressure” Venezuela's government; after impeaching the president failed to stop protests in Peru, a State of Emergency has been declared; displaced people in Sudan in houses are being missed by air programmes;
§ On the USoleader’s tariff war, the USoleader is upset over China's exertion of sovereignty regarding rare earth elements - and China has retaliated against a US action in relation to China's growing shipbuilding industry;
On human rightsomatters:
“El Salvador authorities misused legal reforms to criminalise rights defenders, Amnesty International says”; UK and US sanctions on cyber scammers-human traffickers-torturers in Cambodia;
As, fifty years of courageous marching after The Dismissal also ruptured the journey towards justice for First Nations Australians and two years after the Voice Referendum failed - leaving First Nations people with no national voice and a resultant relentless and unyielding status quo gap in disadvantage, the Victorian Parliamentary debate on Statewide Treaty commenced with the “Co-Chairs of the First Peoples’ Assembly telling Parliament that it marks the beginning of a new chapter — one “where everyone prospers”” and “We do this not to divide Victoria, but to complete it” (their speeches are available here and here), with the state opposition vowing to scrap Treaty “within 100 days if elected”, and proposing use of an unelected body and tweaks of the existing failed approaches (and misinformation about Gellung Warl) ... and the Treaty Bill passed in the lower House (the Legislative Assembly), with the Opposition told it wasn't too late to be a part of this, and is now expected to be debated in the upper house (the Legislative Council) around the end of this month; in Australia, “racism is forcing more Indigenous people to leave the workforce”; “two legal challenges to Woodside’s North West Shelf extension filed on environmental and cultural grounds”; the governor of the US state of California has added dithering over anti-racist measures to transphobia; Brazil has been urged to act on illegal ranches that are devastating Indigenous land; “a Victorian university has announced plans to pursue a treaty with the Traditional Owners of the land it occupies - the first agreement of its kind in the state”;
life threatening transphobia in the NT judicial system; an institution is investigating the possibility of restitution for hate crimes against LGBTQIASB+ people in my home state; “More Indigenous Australians died in custody in NSW this year than ever before, coroner reveals Coroner decries ‘profoundly distressing milestone’ as state surpasses yearly record after only nine months, with expert saying tough on crime measures compounding problem”; the devastating single sex space guidance in the UK that (unquestionably!) devastated the lives of many trans people has been taken down and put on hold pending a court case;
China's president has hypocritically praised women's achievements at a global summit held in China whilst imposing patriarchal silencing of gender activists in China; despite the current Labour UK government having promised to support women born in the 1950s whose state pension was raised to be equal with that of men, it has refused to set up a compensation scheme and now “has been accused of “waiting for the WASPI [(Women Against State Pension Inequality)] generation to die” to avoid paying out compensation”;
“time to change rules and strip honours from child abusers who’ve died, victims and advocates say”;
On societal and governanceomatters:
An examination of how to tax wealth; following the recent hack of proof of age details on a social media platform, yet another company has been hacked, putting millions at risk of major problems - and politicians personal details have been leaked; the need for a COVID-era universal income; gambling problems and risks; declining accessibility of banking in Australia;

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our MÓ•gan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
