I believe reporting about events as accurately as possible helps move the world in a positive direction.
I believe voluntary mutual aid is better than imposed mutual destruction.
Resistance to oppression is inherent to all life.
Liberation can not be imposed no matter how well intended, as that only changes whose will is imposed on others.

Visually impaired. Thus, I do n̲o̲ alt-text image-descriptions. Please feel invited to contribute such as an @-reply to any of my toots you feel should particularly have such.

At least on twitter I could believe that there were low numbers of retweets because I was being censored, because I was being censored, I could actually verify in a reproducible manner myself, as did journalists of major news agencies.

Here, I'm not, I have verified. Here, people just don't care to click a button once or twice to help end some of the worst intentional and endable acts known to humankind.

Yet there were more retweets per follower there than there are boosts per follower here for e.g. the HPG press releases that I format for sharing here as I did there, or translations that I know for sure you didn't already see published by anyone else elsewhere, because they're original by me for you here.
I can only draw the conclusion that here, people just don't give enough of a shit about making the world better.
I genuinely don't know why I keep trying. You don't (generalized speaking).

Good night.

In a student action in solidarity with the people in Palestine at Sweden's largest technical university, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, a room of Student Union (https://thskth.se/en/general/ths-organisation) building was occupied at about 1 p.m. by ~20 people of "KTH for Palestine", so the special "Task Force" of police (similar to SWAT) came with 20 cop cars, cop cavalry, helicopters and rioting equipment to be violent against the people protesting against the university's continuing to whitewash genocide and war crimes, by force removing the students from the Student Union.
The police detained 19 and say the students are suspected of unlawful entry, not following police order and infliction of damage.

One protester explained to Public Service radio that the students had been holding other forms of protests with demos and a protest encampment for weeks but that the university had refused to engage with them and that's why the students occupied at the Student Union.

The Minister for Education ("Liberals" party, not=USA's "liberal" but firmly right-wing) commented "I am outraged"... not at the university bringing violence against people for protesting war crimes and genocide, but against the students, astoundingly claiming the protests "risk weakening democracy".

The blue flag that the "KTH for Palestine" student protesters dropped out the window of the Students Union today was a remix of the official "KTH Royal Institute of Technology" technical university logo, which when translating the original says "KTH ─ SCIENCE AND ART" (where "art" is not as in "art school", but as in "art of engineering", etc which used to be the more common meaning in the 1800s and refers to practiced science as opposed to theoretical),
to instead on the protesters' flag say:
KTH ─ GENOCIDE AND WEAPONS-LOBBYISM

The song they sang inside is the classic which I listed with the translated title "Long live Palestine and crush the Zionism" in my toot https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/111619257614859697 from 2023.

The first labor-action was taken against the giant Samsung.
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/samsung-electronics-union-set-stage-first-walkout-friday-2024-06-06/
It's not currently made very clear in that article, but my understanding from previous reporting elsewhere is that those participating in the walkout did so using a day of paid vacation, so probably of negligible impact for Samsung but it's at least a first step.

The latest from Doctors without Borders (MSF):
─────
Addressing acute watery diarrhoea in Yemen
[...]
Twenty out of Yemen’s 22 governorates have seen a surge in the number of people with acute watery diarrhoea, as more than 63,000 cases have been reported in the country as of 31 May, according to health authorities. Despite the limited testing capacity in the country, more than 2,700 of the tested cases came back positive for cholera.
[...]
“Our centre is the only place providing treatment to acute watery diarrhoea patients in this big district,” says Dr Evangelina Lauxmann, MSF medical team leader in Abs. “Acute watery diarrhoea, although treatable, poses a risk to patients with comorbidities and pregnant women who face an increased chance of foetal mortality.”
[...]
Without wide-scale water and sanitation activities in the most affected governorates, and in the absence of community outreach activities for sensitization on proper hygiene practices and early detection of patients, the surge of acute watery diarrhoea cases is expected to return in waves over the coming months.

Between April and May, MSF treated more than 10,500 patients in different parts of Yemen.

More horror in the war for power in Sudan between the anti-democracy military coup junta and the Darfur Genocide culprit RSF:
─────
The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces attacked a town in Gezira State on Wednesday, killing at least 100 people, according to local activists.
[...]
"Wad Alnoura village ... witnessed a genocide on Wednesday after the RSF attacked twice, killing up to 100 people," the pro-democracy Wad Madani Resistance Committee said in a statement on social media late on Wednesday.

Later, it put the number of dead in the hundreds and said the Sudanese army had not heeded a request for help.

Israel bombs yet another school run by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip of Palestine, killing at least 40 people, out of which 14 children and 9 women so far as well as wounding 73 people.
It was housing internally displaced people (refugees) at the time.
Israel claimed Hamas was there, but has not shown even any claimed evidence of that, according to latest news report on Public Service radio in Sweden, whose reporter woken up by the bombing also says having seen the dead children carried out of the bombed refugee-housing UN-school in their sleeping blankets, because everyone was asleep when the mass-murder was committed.

Israel as its sibling in genocide Turkey is so used to being able to to just scream "HAMAS!"/"PKK!" while violating humankind and as a result nobody whose supposed job it is to demand evidence of such claims does that, which now is beginning to become too much for the world to tolerate, after three quarters and a whole century of this exact thing with methodic frequent recurrence.
Enough is enough.

"Across Turkey, people are resisting against the state’s imposition of an appointed mayor in Hakkari. On 6 June, Hakkari’s elected co-mayor Mehmet Sıddık Akış was sentenced to 19 years and six months in prison. He has been replaced by a state appointee, known as a kayyim. People took to the streets in Istanbul, Hakkari and Ankara."

The latest press release from the People's Defence Forces (HPG) Geneva Conventions compliant guerrilla of the PKK defending against Erdoğan's imperialist war of aggression in S Kurdistan/N Iraq.

The ban against using chemical weapons in warfare is absolute.
Except apparently if it is inconvenient to NATO, EU and Putin at the same time,
in which case the organization that has taken upon itself to investigate every such instance, OPCW, will resolutely... call the police on people protesting its inaction outside its HQ and refuse to investigate the videos and soil samples sent to it, just as it refused to reject the bribe it proudly publicly announced having received from Turkey just before Erdoğan began the chemical warfare.
