[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents.

In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy.

It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.

Awful as Netanyahu's government has been, that is no excuse for the atrocities committed against Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists. Hamas has repeatedly attacked civilians, knowing well that this will lead to Israeli attacks on Gaza that are bound to kill ...(1/2)

As a scientist I'm proud of just how much incredibly rich, detailed and varied evidence we have of the unravelling of life on Earth

And utterly dumfounded by how little anyone seems to care

Alaska's snow crab season has been canceled for the first time in the state's history. An estimated 1 billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared, which is a 90% drop in their population. This is a major blow to America's seafood industry and could cost the economy $200 million.

[Stephen Koukoulas @TheKouk]

I am surprised the Labor Party doesn’t help the self confidence to sell the fact to the electorate that the Stage 3 tax cuts are unaffordable, reckless, unfair and economic vandalism and that things have changed since the election so they should be repealed. It’s an easy sell
