«People have the power.» Let us hope soon, in this oligargic atmosphere, there will be alternative governance, like citizen assemblies, deliberative democracy etc.

Ten years after it was signed, what has the Paris Agreement on climate change achieved?
Signed on December 12, 2015, the treaty has slowed global warming, but has not limited it to a sustainable level.
Tehran now:
In a 39-second voice message sent to Le Monde, the friend recounts to his sister, who lives abroad and was able to receive the message thanks to a Starlink satellite connection, what he saw on Friday: "To my eyes, there were between 4,000 and 5,000 lifeless bodies, piled on top of each other like sacks of chickens. It was unreal. From every hospital, they're collecting 30 or 40 dead and transferring them here. Unidentified bodies are put in black body bags and thrown into the Kahrizak courtyard. The gate is open. You can walk in and take photos and videos. No one was stopping you."

Hard to say what Hamas achieved by October 7th, but here an article discussing this.
«Hamas instead lists a series of supposed strategic gains: returning Palestine to the center of global attention; halting Arab normalization with Israel; isolating Israel internationally and deepening its internal divisions; undermining Israel’s image as a safe haven for Jews and accelerating Jewish Israeli emigration; and securing recognition of the State of Palestine by European countries.»

‘Steadfastness’ without substance: How Hamas narrates the Gaza war today
In an updated text, the group is unapologetic for its conduct, taking credit for the damage Israel’s genocide did to itself while offering no political horizon.

Gaza's local authorities massively underreported deaths, says international research team
The first independent field study on Gaza to not involve local authorities, published in The Lancet Global Health on Wednesday, concludes that the number of violent deaths linked to the conflict has been underreported by about 35%.
Elbit should not be compensated for its support of genocide, rather punished. The right to protest should come before private profit.

What they contained is simply demonic - it's beyond comprehension.

Iran bombings now. Let me cite from a Pier Paolo Pasolini monument:
«… passive like a bird that sees everything while flying, and carries in its heart in its flight to heaven the conscience that does not forgive.»
«… passivo come un uccello che vede tutto, volando, e si porta in cuore nel volo in cielo la coscienza che non perdona»

When some realizes that the authorities are not taking responsibility, they try to reduce the possibility of the weapons used in the genocide. Power to those people, not complicit governments.

Misuse of Law: Judge Johnson in UK.
«Expressly forbidden from informing jurors about their motivations for crippling a core component of Israel’s international killing machine, defendants will be deprived of a major prong of their legal strategy. In past trials, activists have successfully argued their alleged offenses were necessary to prevent far more serious crimes being perpetrated by Israel.»

UK seeks to jail Palestine Action for ‘terrorism’ amid UK media blackout
Six Palestine Action activists face a retrial after being acquitted in February following over a year in prison.
“My concern about blaming this all on Israel is that it lets Washington off the hook,” says Duss. “We have a foreign policy establishment that is addicted to militarism, that is addicted to war, who often work at think tanks that are largely funded by the military–industrial complex. They are funded by weapons manufacturers. We have a political class that is really deeply committed to an almost religious degree to American primacy in the world, to American global hegemony. Which means that we are up in everyone’s business all over the place all the time.”
“This Iran war is the most egregious and horrible expression of trends in our foreign policy that have been building for a long time, so are these boat strikes,” he says, referring to the Trump administration’s ongoing assassinations of alleged drug traffickers. “We’ve been killing people with flying robots in the Middle East and Africa and elsewhere for decades now.”
