*Republicans want to make it harder to get a divorce in the US.*

That fits into the general plan to impose their religion, and its sexual prudery, on everyone. We must defeat them.

*Amy Pritchard is the first person to be jailed for a campaign in which climate protesters targeted banks across London.* She explains her decision to break windows at the office of JP Morgan.

Adobe corrected some misconceptions that were suggested by loose wording in its newly imposed requirement that users give Adobe permission to snoop on their work. Adobe agreed not to publish their work (Please don't call anyone's artwork "content"!), and won't train machine learning models with it. (Please don't call them "artificial intelligence"!)

But it does indeed intend to snoop, having effectively forced users to give permission for that.

This is a big step towards a society of total surveillance, in which privacy and the US fourth amendment are reduced to fragmentary relics.

Cheng Lei, formerly a political prisoner in China, has used her prison experience as the basis for stand-up comedy in Australia.

Cheng Lei is an Australian citizen who was working in China as a journalist for an Australian organization. China allowed her to return to Australia. Chinese who have been political prisoners in China are often not allowed to leave China.

Using Eventbrite for access to an event is always bad because signing up using Eventbrite requires running nonfree software. Also, it requires identifying yourself. Those are two injustices to the attendee; I would not attend a performance if it required me to give my name to get a ticket.

In this specific situation, the injustices put some attendees in danger, too. It would not surprise me if Chinese crackers broke into the Eventbrite data base to find out who attended this performance. The performers were aware that Chine would try to identify the attendees; they should have protected their audience from digital identification as well as from cameras.

And did they insist on making it possible to pay cash? As China demonstrates every day, making people identify themselves to buy things is the foundation of repression.

Analyzing the Labour platform: parts sound good, but crucial parts are missing.
