Happy Monday, everyone!

Here's our reminder that without far stronger environmental laws the wildlife and places we all know and dearly love will continue to be destroyed and disappear, forever.

Labor is close to a deal on environmental law reforms. There are troubling signs these will fall short

Labor is close to a deal on its environmental law reforms. Will they strong enough to protect nature?

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

it’s an absolute disgrace. I’m so sick of these companies destroying the planet and getting paid for the *privilege* of doing so.

when citizens have to be constantly vigilant and fucking exhausted just to retain a semblance of democratic rights it’s not a democracy.

Dear Australian news media
When reporting Israeli claims that are demonstrably false, known lies, REPORT THIS! Some suggested phrases:
"Israel falsely claims ..."
"Israel repeated the proven lie that ..."
Words matter. Facts matter. Otherwise it's not #journalism, it's propaganda. #Israel #Palestine

Western media reports on
Israeli hostages ; Palestinian prisoners
Israeli 'operations'; Hamas attacks
And neglects to use the word illegal when referring to Israel's actions:
Illegal occupation of Palestine
Illegal settlements in the West Bank
Illegal blockade of Gaza

Officer, I'd like to report the Albanese Cabinet for eroding the nation's social fabric through:
- pursuing close defence ties with an authoritarian power
- domestic policies that increase #inequality and undermine accountability, and
- failing to uphold international law on refugees and genocide.

In the Trump era, this is terrifying. Apparently criticising capitalism 🥴🤣 is terrorism now in the US.

Australian Federal Police ®

The AFP has set up new National Security Investigations (NSI) teams to target groups and individuals causing high levels of harm to Australia's social cohesion.
The NSI teams will work closely with state and territory police, law enforcement and national security partners to provide a coordinated, consistent and intelligence-led response to security threats, and also work on a global level through operations, capabilities and relationships with the international law enforcement intelligence community.
There are current and emerging groups dispersed across Australia and in some cases, overseas, who are eroding our country's social fabric by advocating hatred, fear, and humiliation. While many of these crimes may not meet the threshold of terrorism, the AFP has identified concerning behaviours which could escalate to politically-motivated violence or hate crimes, which seriously put the Australian community at risk.
There is no place for hate or violence in our communities and the AFP will defend and protect Australia and Australia's future from these threats.
Anyone with information about possible threats to the community or suspicious activity should make a report to the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400. In an emergency or life-threatening situation, contact Triple

I find their reporting fairly accurate for where we are. Rainfall can be a bit hit and miss but generally they do a great job.
