The national grid right now: Australia doesn’t have a renewables problem, it’s got an unreliable black coal and expensive gas problem #auspol #nem #GasCrisis

My new piece "Finding Fault Lines within the Tatmadaw"
A steady increase in defections and desertions since the coup amid plunging morale has some questioning whether unity can be maintained within the Tatmadaw, https://t.co/uqr7sulVmF

@sandraXmon Wow, this sounds very not cool. I'm a CDM fundraiser (over 100k) and feminist and anti colonialist so very much on your side. But I've also worked with Michael Beer and found him to be the opposite of bulldozing. Would like to hear more.

Excellent critique of international humanitarian law in a world where violent despots like the Tatmdaw get the privilege of being a state, while millions of oppressed revolutionaries can be automatically considered criminal for resisting.

@JosephY36173765 Yeah, we funders consider them CDMers as well so they get some funding that way but it's the defection and desertion efforts that need funding. Contact me if you want to fund a really interesting defection effort and team.

Myanmar’s security forces have killed more than 1,000 civilians since the military ousted the civilian government from power six months ago, an advocacy group said on Wednesday.

Myanmar Muslim community’s humanitarian efforts during covid 19 outbreak shouldn’t go unnoticed
From donating O2 ,that was laboriously collected from several plants in Yangon,
to importing O2 equipment at cheap price to save ppl from some greedy businessmen

[AmaAko @AmaAkoMM]

We are deeply proud that the proceeds of our first fundraising drive have provided 54,600 meals through our partner Zigway.

SAC soldiers pretended as Covid-19 patients to lure the CDM doctors and arrested them. After that, they confiscated all medical equipments including oxygen tanks. WE NEED HELP. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar https://t.co/7perb9kVaO

How many more of my friends are gonna die of #COVID in Myanmar. Three gone in the past four days.

It's excruciating watching loved ones drown like this, and knowing the world is not short on resources to help. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
