A Landmark 'High Seas Treaty' Has Arrived. Here's Why It's a Big Deal. The United Nations Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement (BBNJA) โ€“ nicknamed the 'High Seas Treaty' โ€“ comes into force on January 17, a massive milestone in efforts to conserve marine life in international waters.

Scientists and experts explain why the #HighSeasTreaty is a historic achievement, and the proposals for marine protected areas (#MPAs) in the High Seas can set precedents for future conservation efforts and influence the pace and scope of protection across the High Seas.

Moving $10B of public money into a personal Board of Peace isnโ€™t diplomacy, itโ€™s daylight looting. When even senior senators call it illegal, thatโ€™s your answer. This is state capture, not governance, and itโ€™s happening in plain sight under Trump.

And yet, Trump stealing 10 billion from taxpayers is probably not in the top 20 most corrupt things heโ€™s done while president. It may not even be the most corrupt thing heโ€™s done this week.

It doesn't contain individual patient records. But what it actually is, and what it's actually being used for, is worse. New post โคต๏ธ

I think they killed Epstein, but if it had gone down a few years later, they would've instead given him a cabinet position.

Big respect to Chef Matthew Beaudin for choosing reverence over routineโ€”recognizing octopus not as product, but as a sentient, intelligent ocean being. That shift in worldview takes humility, courage, and care. Careers are built on small choices. This one truly matters.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Bondi Spying On Congressional Epstein Searches Should Be A Majorย Scandal Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Among the more notable exchanges was when Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked some of Jeffrey Epstein's victims who were in the audience to stand up and indicate whether Bondi's DOJ had ever contacted them about their experiences. None of them had heard from the Justice Department. Bondi wouldn't even look at the victims as she frantically flipped through her prepared notes.

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).
