A local native tribe has joined the protest, taking to the water in a traditional Coastal Salish Canoe to Block The Boat!

Additional kayaks and other small vessels are reportedly in position to disrupt access to the port.

No, but it is possibly the right way to ensure Hamas gets more and more support and sympathy and more members surely.

So the OPPOSITE to what Israel wants.

An American nurse is forced to flee Gaza where colleagues and their families have been killed, amputees and burn victims are forced out of hospitals, and the civilian population has run out of food and water.

Is this really the right way to fight Hamas?

In the settings the key to start is to press STRG and another key Any idea what this means please.

Which key is STRG ?

@Miro_Collas

No problem and yes it has been the same for me, It is nice to have deeper level discussions.

@zleap Yep, pin it once you've done that. It may not get a *lot* of extra views, but it will get some, as I have seen from my own pinned posts.

OK, bed calls. I'd like to thank you for the great exchange over the last few hours. Very much thought-provoking. Thank you :-)

@noizpride

Can you post the poster as a graphic on Mastodon, we can then try and share it further,

I live across the street from 2 homeless encampments and I want to post this over every inch of my apartment

@zleap wow, that's awesome! Do that as a pinnned post. ;-)

@Miro_Collas

I will re publish and ask for direct help with it, but good idea on pinning

@zleap They are, and that's *great*! :-) Some countries are withdrawing ambassadors, which is a good step too.

Something similar could be done for climate action, perhaps. Greta has a voice.
Honestly, however, I am not optimistic. The money involved is eye watering (ie, fossil fuel profits), and corporate leverage is deeply ingrained in most countries.

@Miro_Collas

I made a blog post which I need to re-publish

personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/

so these products were listed on an info graphic, which seems to now come up with a 404 but i downloaded it at the time.

if we can as a collective take each item on the list and find out how it is made from oil, what it is used for and then work out if it can be made without oil, then link all that info together it may also help

PVC can be made in other ways it is just more energy intensive so that is out. What products could we do without fully (much harder to do in a few cases)

@futurebird

The father of the kid who complained is a school board candidate so he is messing with a teacher's career to elevate his visibility in his school board race.

@arstechnica

It seems standards in the US are in the dark ages compared to the UK / EU

@Miro_Collas

I under stand that but they are seen to be dubbed the great unwashed, unemployed and lazy.

I have said before if we were to protest with a dress code reflecting what people are doing about the climate we would need to do so fully naked.

@Miro_Collas
What people like just stop oil are doing such as direct action, gluing them selves to roads, paintings in galleries, throwing paint on buildings, seems to be having the opposite effect.

While protests work in some cases they would be better off sharing information, being part of discussions and helping with the actual research.

Blocking people getting to work or worse getting to a hospital to see a critically ill family member isn't going to help anyone.

@zleap Very much so, tragically. But I see no *real* sign that anyone is working to do anything meaningful. Quite the opposite.

@zleap I have a post with the linked pinned to my profile. Whatever helps to get it spread.
