Oof. The Genocide in Palestine continues day after day. The attacks on
Ukraine continue night after night. The urban terror in the USA
continues. What the hell is going on in Rojava.

I keep hoping that the resistance is strong enough.

I keep hoping that one all the perpetuators involved in these crimes
get their time in court and then get to spend years in prison. All of
them. Following orders is no excuse.

And I hope that the right wing parties all get booted out of the
various parliaments -- in Italy, Hungary, Switzerland, Germany,
France, the UK, the USA, Russia and wherever else they have gained
traction.

I hope that we get the number of billionaires and tax havens in the
world back down to zero. I hope progressive taxes go way up in order
to redistribute all that wealth, reducing world frustration and anger.

And then, maybe, we can get back to reducing our carbon footprint and
saving the world from ecological collapse.
