    Labour bill threatens protected habitats

    *Labour's planning bill threatens protected habitats [in Britain], says environment watchdog.*

    Ship carrying aid to Gaza attacked

    There is once again a fleet of unarmed ships carrying aid to Gaza. Someone used drones to attack one of the ships, half the Mediterranean sea away. Attackers suspect the attack was done by Israel.

    I agree it was probably the Israeli army , because Israel had means, motive and opportunity. Some other countries had the means, and perhaps an opportunity, but No other country had a motive.

    Israel used to seize aid boats and arrest the people on them. The change to attack the boats and maybe kill the people on them reflects how Israel has changed since then.

    Was that attack terrorism? I think it was. Terrorism means making war on noncombatants, and those unarmed aid workers are clearly not combatants.

    British defeat of one increase in repression of protests

    British human rights defenders have defeated in court one increase in repression of protests. The increase was serious but the Tories treated it as minor.

    I wonder whether this will free any of the UK's political prisoners who were convicted of protesting.

    Closure of scientific centers that monitor US waters

    * The saboteur in chief has ordered the closure of 25 scientific centers that monitor US waters for flooding and drought, and manage supply levels to ensure communities around the country don't run out of water.*

    From now on, if your region has floods or water shortages, the saboteur will be partly to bale.

    (satire) Do your own research on Dragons

    (satire) *RFK Jr. Encourages Americans To Do Their Own Research About Dragons.*

    Confusion on deported mothers and their children

    While some groups of deportation thugs told mothers being deported that they had to take their US-citizen children with them, another group told another mother that she could not do so.

    I conjecture that they have been given vague and confusing instructions, written in a hurry by inexperienced people, so in similar situations various officials draw different conclusions. That tends to happen when those who write the instructions don't think carefully about them.

    Cost of pardons to white-collar criminals

    *{The corrupter's] white-collar criminal pardons cost public $1bn, says ex-DoJ official.*

    Assuming he profited from this in some way, it amounts to a transfer from America's account to his account.
