*We can't afford US Congress wavering in its support for Ukraine.*

I agree with the general position stated in this article. Putin's eagerness to arrest Ukrainian civilians, kill some, and force most of them rest into servitude in Russia, adds strength to the conclusion.

We will eventually need negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end the war, but those negotiations won't achieve anything until Putin is willing to accept peace on terms that do not subjugate Ukraine and Ukrainians.

The EU pledged to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030, but has not implemented policies to make this happen.

To rear fewer cattle in the EU will not help if the EU imports meat instead. That would transfer the cattle's methane emissions to some other country but not eliminate the emissions. To achieve this necessary goal would require either reducing the emissions per unit of meat or milk produced, or reducing the amounts of meat and milk going into products sold in the EU.

The former may perhaps be possible (I don't know) with different breeds of cattle or different feed. But there is not time to develop them, not before 2030. It would have to be done using existing methods.

Kanye West has been giving out hints of antisemitism for 10 years, but only recently made it so blatant that people and businesses couldn't avoid noticing it. Previously, people who wished to disregard it found no difficulty in doing so.

I don't particularly like rap, except when it's parody and makes me laugh, like Can't Watch This by Weird Al, so I never paid attention to West except when I read in national news that he had showed support for the corrupter. That was enough to motivate me to disregard any further news about him.

*UK music industry to implement anti-racism code of conduct from 2023.* This code applies to how businesses treat workers. It looks like a good plan to me.

Republicans are trying to show how determined they are to make it hard for poor and hard-working people to vote — by proposing federal laws to do so.

Those bills can't possibly pass this year; the reason for them is specifically to win support, in the coming election, from people who don't want to allow Democrats to vote.

A petition to Uber stops just short of mentioning the crucial changes we ought to fight for. Namely, to stop making customers run nonfree software, and stop making them identify themselves.

Identifying and tracking people is an injustice even if you don't sell use of that data to anyone else. Whereas if you don't identify and track people, the advertising problem disappears too.
