Heiress Abigail Disney used to love riding in her father's private 737 jet. Now she joins civil disobedience to block airports for them, for the sake of climate defense.

I like this statement:

My father was a good and decent man, and so are most of the people who own private planes. But we are facing an active emergency, and decency is worthless when unaccompanied by meaningful action, including a vigorous inquiry into the consequences of our personal choices and preferences. And niceness is a hollow virtue if we do not lift a finger to keep our children and grandchildren safe.

However, I expect that anyone who actually made many millions of dollars in business must have been exploiting people somehow.

Everyone: Support the demand that oil sheikh al-Jaber resign as head of COP28.

*The world is shifting towards a superheated climate not seen in the past 1m years, prior to human existence, because "we are damned fools” for not acting upon warnings over the climate crisis, according to James Hansen, the US scientist who alerted the world to the greenhouse effect in the 1980s.*

The London thug department gave crime victims' personal data to Facebook. They did this by putting a Facebook tracking pixel in a page for "securely and confidentially" reporting crimes including rape.

In general you cannot trust a web site that says the data you enter is "secure". That could change if and when creating a tracking pixel and putting one into a web site are both criminal offences.

*[Big US] tax prep companies shared private taxpayer data with Google and Meta for years, congressional probe finds.* This too was done using tracking pixels.

Please avoid using the term "sharing" to refer to snooping on people and sending their personal data to a company.
