An important piece showing that we have known for a long time - more prescribed burns do not automatically make forests safer from #bushfire - a lesson that indigenous people learnt thousands of years ago 🧪

In 1939, a Royal Commission found burning forests leads to more bushfires. But this cycle of destruction can be stopped
After devastating fires in 1939, authorities began burning forests to reduce fuel load. But we now know this creates conditions for even worse fires.

GOP has been asleep since powering through the Big Ugly Bill. Exhausting work. It's beginning to look like immaculate obedience to King Donald isn't bringing the electoral payoff that was promised, and they're trying to re-group before mid-terms. America is not fooled.

🔴 BREAKING: A Palestinian journalist detained in Israel’s Sde Teiman camp was raped and subjected to sexual torture — including assault carried out by a trained dog — according to new testimony released by the Palestinian Journalists Protection Center (PJPC). The Center calls it one of the most severe crimes documented against journalists in Israeli custody. “Whoever didn’t die inside came out broken forever,” the journalist told PJPC. ⸻ The Assault The journalist, identifying himself only as “Yahya” for his family’s safety, said soldiers dragged him and seven others to a secluded section of Sde Teiman. There, Israeli soldiers stood by as the group was subjected to collective sexual assault, with some soldiers filming the attack and mocking the victims. All detainees were restrained, blindfolded, and denied any legal or humanitarian protection. Doctors who reviewed Yahya’s case say the trauma caused a complete psychological collapse lasting more than two months. His symptoms are consistent with acute PTSD. ⸻ A Systematic Torture Regime Yahya spent 20 months in Israeli prisons — three months in Sde Teiman and one in Ofer — and insists the assault was not an isolated incident but part of a systematic torture policy. He described the use of dogs as deliberate, internationally prohibited torture aimed at inflicting total psychological destruction. He detailed interrogations that included: •Blindfolding and full restraints •Transfers in military trucks between sites •Physical and psychological beatings •Starvation and sleep deprivation •Denial of medical care •Religious insults •Electric shocks The torture intensified after soldiers learned he was a journalist. He was accused of spreading “misinformation” and told he could face life imprisonment for his media work. Conditions Inside Sde Teiman Yahya described extreme overcrowding, filthy cells with no hygiene, disease outbreaks, and constant shortages of food and water. Prayer was banned. He said he witnessed detainees — including doctors and academics — die under unexplained circumstances. “We spent autumn and winter in worn-out summer clothes, sleeping on the tiles,” he said. “We entered these detention centers alive, and came out with exhausted bodies and broken souls.” Israeli forces arrested him on March 18, 2024, during the storming of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, where he was reporting in full press gear. ⸻ A Crime Under International Law The PJPC says the assault constitutes: •Rape and sexual torture under the 1984 Convention Against Torture •A war crime under Article 8 of the Rome Statute •Potentially a crime against humanity under Article 7, if the systematic nature is confirmed •A grave violation of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions •A direct attack on journalists protected as civilians under international humanitarian law The use of dogs in sexualized torture, the Center said, is “one of the most extreme forms of prohibited abuse.” ⸻ Calls for Accountability The PJPC is demanding: •Immediate submission of the case to the International Criminal Court •An urgent, independent international investigation •Prosecution of those responsible under universal jurisdiction •Immediate medical and psychological treatment for survivors •Protection for witnesses and journalists at risk “These crimes carry no statute of limitations,” the Center concluded. Testimonies from Palestinian journalists now represent cumulative evidence of a deliberate, systematic torture regime inside Israeli prisons — one that demands international criminal accountability.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I don’t know about you, but if the police want to search me for weapons or illicit substances, I say ‘go for it’.

But then, I’ve got nothing to hide.
