Mark Colville, of the Kings Bay Plowshares 7, who was found guilty of conspiracy and damage to a nuclear sub base in Georgia, was sentenced on Friday April 9. He was not given "time served", the 15 months he had been in prison in Georgia. He was sentenced to 21 months in prison, in other words six more months. Colville and the other "6" poured blood on a plaque with the name of the base and a model of the submarine that is packed with Trident nuclear-tipped missiles in a waiting room of the base. Details here.
He was released from prison in September 2021

Hundreds have signed an open letter called "Erasing People through Disinformation: Syria and the 'Anti-Imperialism' of the Fools"
This is how it begins:
Disreputable writers and outlets, often operating under the aegis of “independent journalism” with purportedly “leftwing” views, are spreading corrosive propaganda and disinformation that aims to strip Syrians of political agency
[The following Open Letter was a collaborative effort of a group of Syrian writers and intellectuals and others who stand in solidarity with them. It is signed by activists, writers, artists, and academics from Syria and 34 other countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Oceania, and South America, and appears in multiple languages: English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Greek, and Italian.]
