It's that time of the year again, Daffy's Birthday! and she picks the music....Snarf isn't thrilled.....but it's only once a year right? The drama ensues.
We take an updated look at the weaponization of the law by Israel's Lawfare Project, which has launched an offensive against organizations and projects that support the Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation of their homeland. We focus on the analysis and significance of the lawsuit that Jewish National Fund brought against the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a coalition of pro-Palestinian organizations here in the US.
We join the US Campaign's executive director, Ahmed Abuznaid, and their Attorney Diala Shamas of the Center for Constitutional Rights. The conversation is kicked off by Foundation for Middle East Peace’s Lara Friedman.
UPDATE: Since our initial report aired 3-5-2023, the Jewish National Fund has now lost at both District and Appellate Court levels. Nonetheless, on 12-23-2023, JNF filed a petition for writ of certiorari, hoping for review at the hard-right-dominated US Supreme Court.

Simon Michaux is associate professor at the Geological Survey of Finland. He and his team advise the Finnish government on how to phase out fossil fuels. As former mining engineer Michaux warns that we just don't have enough minerals and materials in the Earth's crust to develop a fully renewable economy along the standards we have come to expect - and he offers solutions.
Thanks to Rachel Donald, who engaged Michaux in a conversation on PlanetCritical.

In the first decade of this century many of us learned that the threshold for keeping our planet healthy was 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide. Advocates like those at 350.org emphasized the need to adopt practices to help the earth stay below that number. Well, unfortunately, we earthlings have blown through that limit and are presently looking at 419 parts per million. But that doesn’t mean the idea of lowering our carbon emissions is moribund. And there are still organizations like 350.org keeping the dream alive. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to Namrata Chowdhary, the Head of Public Engagement at 350.org. We learn more about the organization’s roots, examine some of the fights they’ve taken on, and discuss how they’re planning to evolve. We also talk about the corporatization of some larger environmental organizations and dive into the issues surrounding fossil fuel divestiture.

AUSTRALIA’s first gay and lesbian legally married couples are celebrating their fifth anniversaries in January 2024. Of course, the march down the politically-fraught aisle was long and hard. The conservative agenda of Prime Minister John Howard’s Liberal Party saw making the civil institution explicitly heterosexual as a priority, and passed an amendment to the Marriage Act in 2004. Over the next thirteen years, 22 attempts to overturn that law in Parliament failed, while public support for marriage equality grew. Still, the administration of then-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull opted for a non-compulsory, non-binding mail-in postal vote on the issue. The turning point came in August of 2017. That’s when “This Way Out” SYDNEY correspondent BARRY McKAY picks up the story.
