If the reports are correct, Trump will release from these reservoirs, 32,000 acre-ft (~10 billion gals) will be lost. Some will evaporate, some will seep into groundwater. Farmers who had rights to that water are now unlikely to have physical or legal access to it.

1 Dollar, 1 World I have been at WHO for over 10 years. Like my colleagues, I have worked my butt off day and night to fight Covid and work towards universal access to health care. This place frustrates me every day.

Within hours of the US withdrawing from the WHO, WHO staffers had put together the $1 dollar 1 World 🌍 campaign.

The WHO is required to safeguard the world’s health, track disease, drive global vaccination and advance primary healthcare to areas of need.

Update from Dr Tedros, the Director-General of WHO.

Thank you to all my friends, colleagues, and everyone who has wished me well during the ordeal in the past few days.

I'm especially grateful to the colleagues and airport staff, who were selfless as they tried to protect me.

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

Today was putrid … just putrid 🥵

I said I wouldn’t look, but then I did … because the putridity was never ending.

Humidity =73% 😳🥵

What a time to be… renovating❗️ power minimal & defs no air con 😳😳🤦🏻‍♀️

Headline from 1930s: Hitler Fund Gets ‘Voluntary Gifts’

Any time we see another CEO pony up a million for Trump’s inauguration, remember this headline.

Economics of Coalition’s nuclear modelling are worth nothing If someone says the opposition’s financial case shows that nuclear is cheaper than firmed renewables, all other things equal, then that person is lying.

My summer reading list 📚

I’m very much a non-fiction gal so have gone out on a limb with 3 highly acclaimed fiction reads.

It’s never a library visit without me digging through the John Le Carre section to find a gem I haven’t yet read. My fav author never fails me ✨

When the CM use the word “we”…🙄
I cringe 😩

I’m never sorry that the poor folk at the CM feel betrayed by Tory politicians … I’m more annoyed that they seek to express some collective sentiment like we’ve all forgotten the destruction right wing outlets caused during the ‘23 referendum 😥

Kyle and Jackie O struggles put KIIS FM owner in tailspin KIIS FM’s owner ARN is taking some drastic action to free up cash as it looks to lock in its star breakfast duo for another 10 years.

Oops. Shit hits the fan. They paid these two sleazebags a truckload to sell radio porn in Melbourne. They died like a dog in a ditch and advertising revenue has tanked. AND THEY HAVE NO WAY OUT. Hilarious. www.smh.com.au/business/com...

Amnesty International condemns Taliban's ban on medical education for women as 'systematic attack' | Amu TV Amnesty described the directive from the Taliban's leadership as “preposterous”.

Multiple news & advocacy groups have been reporting on the recent decision by the Taliban to ban women from schools of health, particularly nursing & midwifery.

As a RN my heart is enormously heavy 💔. In a country where women’s access to healthcare & edu’n is tenuous, this is a targeted attack🇦🇫

Amazon workers continue their strike, 'Make Amazon Pay,' into Cyber Monday Amazon workers continue to their strike, which started on Black Friday. This strike is a part of the "Make Amazon Pay" campaign that is active in the U.S. and more than 20 other countries.

Amazon had $15B in profits last quarter. Its stock recently hit a record high.

Don't tell us a company that's paid its CEO over $106M in three years can't afford to treat its workers fairly.

That's why thousands of Amazon workers are striking in 20+ countries on Cyber Monday.

UN Women’s recent femicide report finds 60% of women killed by lethal violence within the family. These numbers rise in some countries but, in others, data is lacking considerably.

Without adequate data, Governments are not compelled to act 😢

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

Despite the gains ACTU Secretary Sally McManus has noted ⬇️⬇️, women are now effectively working for free until the end of the year 😢
How is this still ok? 😩🚺
