French authorities issued arrest warrants against two French-Israeli women accused of obstructing humanitarian aid shipments to Gaza, in a case tied to an investigation into complicity in genocide.
Issued in summer 2025, the summons targets French-Israeli lawyer Nili Kupfer-Naouri, the founder and president of the organization Israel Is Forever, and Rachel T., official spokesperson for the collective Tsav 9.

Can't get enough of the Liberal Party? Need more circular discussion about the utterly pointless Coalition?
Then the ABC is for you!! PK is conducting her afternoon Liberal Party show now for those that follow these things.
The 5 Most Famous Laws in The World
1. Dunning-Kruger Law:
Stupid people think they're smart. Smart people doubt themselves. The less you know, the more confident you are.
2. Parkinson's Law:
Work expands to fill the time available, so longer deadlines often lead to slower completion.
3. Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule):
Roughly 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. Focus on the few things that actually matter.
4. Hanlon's Razor:
People aren't trying to hurt you, they're just being careless. That person who didn't text back? They forgot, not ignoring you.
5. Peter's Law:
Good workers become bad managers. Being great at your job doesn't mean you'll be great at the next level.
And I would add
6. Murphy's Law:
Anything that can go wrong, will, when you least expect and can't afford.
@GrapheneOS @attilax @LearnToLivePrivate @RustRaven @jmoupah @Yrrussaj @sebsauvage @jolla Hey Graphene OS folks.
First, it's really great that you guys have created a security focused deGoogled Android operating system.
Given the problems of American big tech, I applaud you for creating an alternative.
So full credit where credit is due.
That being said, constantly badmouthing every other non-Apple and non-Google smartphone maker and operating system is not a good look.
And jumping into any thread on Mastodon where there's a mention of another alternative smartphone maker or OS to badmouth them is not a good look.
You say Jolla is no good. SailfishOS is no good. Fairphone is no good. Murena is no good. CalyxOS is no good. Dumbphones are no good.
I'd imagine you'd probably win more people over if you talked more about why people should choose Graphene instead why they shouldn't choose one of the others.
Because right now, there are tradeoffs with every mobile OS.
That includes Graphene.
For example, there are people for whom limiting their exposure to Google and Apple is more important than choosing the most locked down option available.
For such people, needing to buy a Google Pixel phone to run Graphene is a massive negative.
That's even if the Google Pixel is the best hardware from a security perspective.
And in that case, yeah there are other options that may be a better fit for those people.
There's another issue.
There seems to be many Reddit threads and YouTube videos and blogs out there from people who were enthusiastic about Graphene, but have soured on it.
And the funny thing is there's a pattern to it. "Cult-like" and "toxic" seems to be phrases that tend to be used a lot.
I've also noticed a recurring pattern you put for why the other alternatives are bad is because people connected with those businesses or companies badmouth Graphene.
It seems to me like Graphene constantly bags those other projects. When anyone connected with those projects responds, that response is presented by you guys as evidence of bullying and harassment, without that context.
And the recurring line about how people should just stick with iOS or Google Android if they don't choose Graphene? Just shameful. And completely misses the point of why some people are looking for alternative platforms in the first place.
And the more people who choose an alternative OS, the more normal it becomes to do it, which ultimately leads to more people looking at alternatives like Graphene.

There's a whole thread here that's important. This didn't start, _even for white people_, with Good and Pretti. This goes into how it's been going long and how it's come together.

Another successful #Canberra #RisingTide Hub Meeting was held yesterday at the offices of the Conservation Council on Barry Drive, Canberra.
Followed by a social catchup of snacks and chats. 🙂
Although the annual focus of Rising Tide is the Newcastle port, there are decentralised groups around the nation planning and conducting their own actions. These are called Hubs.
For more info on what the Canberra Hub is, how it works and what it does, check out this google doc:

Rising Tide #Canberra is the Canberra hub of the Newcastle-based Rising Tide (RT) movement.
#RisingTide exists to channel civil resistance, specifically non-violent direct action for #climate defence.
The annual highlight is the blockading of the #Newcastle Coal Port - the largest by volume of its kind in the world. This blockade includes a large and growing Canberra contingent. And throughout the year there are team building activities, information sessions, Discobedience dance, choir, film nights, trivia nights and ad hoc protest actions in Canberra. See Rising Tide media releases for more info on past activities. https://www.risingtide.org.au/media
Follow this account for updates on what Rising Tide is up to, information on how you can get involved, climate wins and losses in #Australia and abroad, and social justice aligned actions.
@treleanor nothing new under the sun. Etc etc ...
I've updated the login requirements https://birdbrainer.app to keep them to the bare minimum, as I'm really not interested in gathering folk's information 👍 Please consider signing up - It would cheer me up no end, as we're currently only at 4 users (and 3 of them are my family/friends!) 😊
The volunteers at #EverythingOpen at University of Canberra this year did a stellar job. Thank you!

As divorce proceedings between the two parties begin, lawyers on both sides argue they should be entitled to keep their favourite mining billionaire.“We hung out with her way more. You can have the economic policy, we’ll keep Gina,” a Liberal Party negotiator suggested, before a Nationals Party representative pointed out that an economic policy didn’t actually exist.
One mediator wondered if Rinehart could be split up, an idea that was immediately dismissed both parties.
At publication time it was agreed that Rinehart would spend sitting weeks with the Liberals and weekends with the Nationals.
Meanwhile, the Liberals will gain custody of the piece of coal that Scott Morrison took into Parliament, while the Nationals will get seven imaginary nuclear power plants in 2050.
More to come …
@karlcx yes!
Finally took the plunge and tested out Matcha. At Ujin, a newish place in Civic, #Canberra.
Having flashbacks to the wheatgrass trend of about 20 years ago.
