She's part of the Freedom Flotilla, which is trying to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza -- against Israel's wishes. You can get up to speed here.

    Like any warrior for justice she stopped focusing on solely climate justice and turned her ire on the real problem, the oligarchy. They don't give her airtime anymore.

    A few months ago, Charlie Kirk was saying she needed to get blown up by an Israeli missile while she was on a boat protesting the Gaza genocide. I believe she was arrested and later released for those protests.

    She's back on another flotilla, the sumud flotilla. Spain and Italy (might have the countries wrong) are sending actual government sanctioned ships to protect them

    Weeeelll no, they arent. They’re sending ships, but they have been ordered not to defend the flotilla, just to rescue the people once theyre in the water.

    You are right, but having scary navy ships involved is definitely a step in the right direction. Some might say this is even better than 'real' protection since this a very pacifist way of using the military.

    What a neck it was. A 30-06 round bounced off his vertebrae. A moose couldn't even do that. Hell it was stronger than a 1/2" steel plate

    Spent all his skill points on neck strength and used INT as a dump stat. Rookie mistake, you hate to see it.

    I always imagined it's like a bunch of inner tubes tied together with an ice chest in the middle.
