A special investigation has proposed a nationwide training system for cops. They would be retrained and tested every five years, to get or renew a license.

This would be a good idea in the US, too.

A deputy police chief acknowledged that the job of cop attracts men who want to "coerce" vulnerable people.

The US Navy will close the underground fuel storage site in Pearl Harbor that has been poisoning local water supply.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine is causing a global food shortage.

This shows that humanity is already too close to the edge. We must urgently curb world population growth.

A climate strike has been announced for March 25. Past experience suggests that the site that gives information about strike events will require nonfree Javascript even to find them. If so, that will impede people who defend their own software freedom from participating in the climate strike. I won't be able in good conscience to post a link to their site, and I won't know where there is an event near me.

I can't believe that the people who organize the climate strike are intentionally working against the free software movement. Why would they do that, given that nonfree software promotes extra e-waste in addition to its direct injustice to every user?

More likely they simply don't see the problem in the usual "solutions" that mistreat them every day in other web sites.

Perhaps they make the assumption that since "everybody" uses these online dis-services, such must be acceptable. However, they know how to doubt that assumption when it's a matter of greenhouse gas emissions or other pollution. If only they recognized nonfree software as a kind of systemic pollution, they might choose solutions for their own sites that avoid creating yet one more problem of that kind.

Given the situation as it is, a natural workaround for us is to set up to scrape their site and post the information in another site which is accessible with no techno-ethical obstacle. I wanted to ask the person who has done this in the past, but perse has become unreachable.

Would anyone reading this like to do the job, in time for people to find strike events and participate? Please write to me if you are ready, willing and able to do it.

I hope the repeater site will be up and running by March 19 and announced by March 20. I know that's a bit fast, but that's the situation we are in.

I don't know the URL of the site where the organizers post this information.
