Anas al-Sharif: Four Al Jazeera journalists killed in Israeli strike near Al-Shifa hospital

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

My god.
Israel just assasinated Al Jazeera journalists.

This is not to lift journalists above other civilians-- but for those of us who work with media, these are our colleagues who were murdered.

I have no words left at the moment.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

Why Experts Say States Need to Get in the Business of Floodplain Buyouts After deadly floods in Texas, academics are calling for non-federally-funded buyout programs amid FEMA’s overhaul.

If ever there were a sign of the times it’s this, in a traditional petro US state. How anyone in the USA can still deny the reality of the climate crisis is beyond me.

Courts service accused of covering up IT bug that caused evidence to go missing Sources say judges in courts and tribunals will have made rulings when evidence was incomplete.

This is a horrific possibility.

But, if true, neither the IT fail or the cover-up would surprise anybody with regular dealings with the court system.

Indeed, it is hardly now a 'system' - just constant improvisations in an under-funded process, not fit for purpose.

An area the size of Paris consumed by fire. Corbieres is (was) a beautiful part of southern France.

Across Europe fires are 40% up on last year - which was very bad.

And carbon emissions are *still rising*, along with global temperatures.

🚨 Nigel Farage’s Reform UK just opened the floodgates to dark money in our politics by becoming the first UK party to accept untraceable crypto donations. That's why I've signed the petition to stop shady crypto donations flooding our politics. Will you join me?

Yes.

But even some non-MMT folks understand how our monetary system works

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).

I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

The problem is with what is replacing it…

Britain’s medical exodus is a warning sign for the NHS Doctors are increasingly prepared to travel abroad in search of better pay and conditions

Excellent piece from @stephenkb.bsky.social: migration provides an exit option for Britain's doctors and nurses (but also for other professionals too), meaning that if the NHS wants its people, it had better pay to keep them

The story of how Trump sells access to the White House - to benefit himself and his family financially and to benefit his political operation - is shocking and sordid.

No President has ever monetized access like Trump has.
