Guangdong province in China is the latest place to be hit by formerly-unusual torrential rains.

Yanis Varoufakis presents the text of the speech over which Germany banned his presence and even from presenting videos of his views. This puts political freedom in Germany under grave threat.

In the text he affirms his solidarity with all victims of atrocities, including Jews and Palestinians. I don't agree with every detail of his views, but rather than quibble, I say his heart is in the right place.

Zoom demands that users make accounts and identify themselves before they can participate in a call. This puts Zoom in position to block any conference in Germany in which Varoufakis tried to participate.

That is one of many reasons why Zoom is an injustice and we should denounce and reject it.

Salafi Arabia is running a marketing campaign to pretend it is something other than repressive and sexist.
