US citizens: call on Gilead Sciences to commit now to license its COVID-19 drug, if approved, to all qualified producers, in exchange for a modest royalty.

WHO has published guidelines for keeping Covid-19 out of prisons. If this is not achieved, prisoners, staff, and the public outside the prison will all be endangered.

The Heatland Institute suggested a "donor-advised trust" as a way for businesses to funnel money to its efforts to sabotage climate defense.

*We can't let the coronavirus lead to a 9/11-style erosion of civil liberties.*

It's not just increases in state repression and surveillance that threaten us. Pressure to surrender to nonfree software and its constant companion, surveillance, are a threat too — whether it is for work, for school, for purchasing, for leisure, for chatting, for political organizing, for whatever, it is unjust.

In resisting this, it helps to draw a clear line and refuse ever to cross it. If you say, "I don't like the idea of using Zoom/WhatsApp/Amazon/Google for this," people will argue back, "If you can do it for that, why refuse to do it for this?" By contrast, if you say, "I'd like to join you in this, but I do not use Zoom/WhatsApp/Amazon/Google — it is an injustice," people will find it hard to argue with your stance.

That doesn't mean you will always convince people to adopt your views. They may say, "We're going to use Zoom/WhatsApp/Amazon/Google; if you want to participate, that is the only way." How you respond to that will show what you're made of.

Covid-19 will give Orbán the excuse to make himself dictator of Hungary.
