Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, who I spoke to about her haka, the very many responses to it, her life in politics, and Kiingi Tuheitia's advice to be Māori...
The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you.

Like Putin, Erdoğan, and Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence a critical, independent newspaper. Haaretz will not balk and will not morph into a pamphlet that publishes messages approved by the government and its leader.

Every day, life & death in Gaza for millions of Palestinians are separated by the sudden whistle of Israeli-dropped, US-made bombs that fall anywhere & everywhere, including on sprawling tent cities which are the only remaining refuge from this war. Imagine living like this . . .
Even in the face of the fiercest disagreements, attacks such as those we have recently seen against the Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory - where her safety, that of her family members and colleagues is threatened - are unacceptable.
As @volker_turk has said, aggressive verbal attacks, threats and reprisals against Special Procedures mandate holders must stop.
Day after day, dozens and dozens of children are killed throughout the Gaza Strip, particularly in the north. Of course Hamas are criminals and are the main reason why this tragedy persists and goes on; but there is no way that Hamas is somehow right next to every single one of these children who are being killed in massive and unbelievable numbers. How can the Israeli military and government claim to be “doing their best” to minimize civilian casualties?
How can the IDF claim that its responses are indeed proportional and targeted against the threat when daily footage confirms an unacceptable rate of civilian deaths that demonstrate persistent, reckless disregard for targeting and the application of firepower? The current strategy may succeed in eliminating some militants off the battlefield, but it is going to breed ferocious generational resentment and backlash, even among anti-Hamas Palestinians and those who want to pursue a different future. Reckless endangerment is a war crime.
I believe that peace will be delivered by moderate, empathetic, and forward looking leadership on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides.
We both need to uplift pro-peace moderates as much as possible.
“I was in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas. I’ve argued for Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the United Farm Workers. I’ve been a radical for a long time. I guess it’s too bad. I’d be more marketable as a right-wing redneck. But I got into this to tell the truth as I saw it”—Kris Kristopherson. Rest in peace singer, songwriter, veteran, working class hero.
For over 13 years, Syrians have endured scenes like this as the Syrian regime and its cross-border militia allies continue attacks on civilians.
On the evening of Monday, September 23, artillery and missile shelling by the Syrian regime targeted several areas in eastern rural #Idlib. The attack killed 4 people, including a woman and an elderly man, and injured 13 civilians, including 6 children and 3 women.
