Why is she doing this? Because there was general strike after general strike in Rome calling for an end to the genocide. Because the Italian dockers refused to ship weapons to Israel. The people made their fascist, pro-war PM change her tune because they demanded it. ✊🇮🇹

Italian Prime Minister Meloni: "I accuse Israel of crossing the red line, I condemn the massacre of Palestinian civilians, and I announce that Italy will support European sanctions against Israel."

Absolute bombshell. Economics Professor Yanis Varoufakis officially declares the attack on Iran an unlawful, criminal war started by Washington and Israel. He states that rooting for an American victory means completely abandoning international law and human rights.

Francesca Albanese's latest report on the systematic, ubiquitous, soul crushing, permanent torture of Palestinians by Israeli authorities, soldiers and settlers is one that we can only turn our eyes away from at the price of losing what is left of our souls. END THE GENOCIDE. NOW!
UN Special Procedures@UN_SPExperts

In Gaza, #WestBank & East Jerusalem, Palestinians are subjected to a continuum of suffering - @FranceskAlbs denounces torture of Palestinians, says it extends beyond Israeli prison walls. “There is no refuge. No safe place to exist.” @UN_HRC #HRC61 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Climate change is worse than predicted . For years the public was sold a tidy picture: warming, yes, but measured, gradual, contained within the neat boundaries of model projections. That picture depended on two assumptions. First, that the climate system responds modestly to carbon dioxide. Second, that a veil of industrial pollution would sit in the sky, reflecting sunlight and softening the blow. Both have failed. The climate is more sensitive than advertised. Not by a rounding error, but by a deck of a lot . And the pollution that once acted like sunscreen protecting us the sun has cleared . The sulphur shield was built by decades of coal, industry, and shipping. Those emissions formed a haze that reflected sunlight and cooled the surface. Clean air rules have cut that pollution, thinning the haze. Less reflection means more heat stays in the system. What was masked is now fully expressed. That is why the oceans are heating at a pace that has startled even the people who study them. Ships used to do the long putting out the sulphur clouds that kept the ocean cool. . When the ocean warms quickly, the rest follows . So what does this mean for you? It means the future is not a distant abstraction. It is arriving on a compressed schedule. You can hear that train coming Over the next year or two, expect sharper heat spikes and heavier downpours. Not gentle increases, but abrupt records. Within a few years, these events stop being anomalies and start becoming the pattern. Insurance costs rise, crops swing between surplus and failure, and infrastructure built for a milder climate begins to show strain. We will cope we will adapt, but the changes are significant An El Niño will come and go. The underlying acceleration is the story. More heat in the system, less masking, stronger response. The mistake was not that the models existed that were the best we could do now we can do better and Im sorry it’s worse .

The forest & water disaster that is Alcoa in WA is brilliantly summarised by @thejuicemedia After 3 years covering Alcoa's misdeeds great to see it get national attention (and happy to see 3 headlines and two FOI documents of mine featured). youtu.be/FWrdQxmGlO8?si…

Robbins Is, NW Tasmania is critical habitat for these magnificent migratory birds. But Env Ministers Plibersek and Murray Watt have permitted a huge windfarm on Robbins Is for Filippino company ACEN in spite of expert advice about impact on birds. We are resisting. @BobBrownFndn
The Curious Tales@thecurioustales

🚨 JUST IN: A migratory bird just shattered world records — flying 8,425 miles (13,560 km) NON-STOP across the Pacific without landing once. The bar-tailed godwit doesn’t stop to eat, drink, or sleep during its migration across the Pacific Ocean. Its journey from Alaska to Australia takes roughly 11 days of continuous flight, covering over 13,000 kilometers through storms, headwinds, and open ocean with zero land beneath it the entire time. Before departure, it does something almost surgical to its own body. It shrinks its digestive organs down to almost nothing, converting the stomach, intestines, and liver into raw fuel. The bird essentially eats its own gut to make room for fat reserves that will power its wings for nearly two weeks straight. The brain doesn’t fully sleep either. Half of it stays active while the other half rests, alternating in shifts mid-flight at altitude over the open Pacific. The godwit is simultaneously unconscious and navigating with magnetic field sensitivity that no human instrument in the 18th century could replicate. What makes this genuinely staggering beyond the physical record is the navigational precision involved. The bird leaves Alaska and arrives in New Zealand with accuracy that would embarrass early GPS systems. It reads Earth’s magnetic field, atmospheric pressure gradients, star positions, and potentially quantum-level compass mechanisms inside its eye that literally let it see magnetic field lines overlaid on its visual field. Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal. We spend billions engineering machines that do what this bird does on instinct, fat reserves, and half a sleeping brain. The longest recorded non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft is around 20 hours. This bird does 11 days. Without a runway.

You could watch the news 24/7 & not know that: Our planet’s at its hottest in 120,000 years. Methane levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. CO2 levels their highest in 3 MILLION years. We're in a climate crisis. Denying it won't solve the problem. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #panelsnotpipelines

A table at the Labor Business Forum costs $18,000. Guests are served spanner crab, pink snapper with lemon and tarragon rouille, and petit-fours for dessert while they meet with ministers. This is the 3rd time in 6 months a ministry meeting has "coincided" with a fundraising event, with taxpayers covering flights and accommodation for ministers. Australians should have equal access to their representatives, not pay for party fundraisers! afr.com/politics/feder…

@PhillipAdams_1 Lovely pic; you’re thoughtful both. If nsw is like WA you probably get no state or federal funding. We’re trying to change that here; and setting up a statewide body to lobby for better funding of wildlife rescue and rehab. If successful we’ll go national. PM me if of interest
