Harrowing news as journalist Amal Khalil has been killed by Israel in a strike on Tayri in south Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire. Israeli forces prevented the Red Cross from rescuing her.
This on the eve of Israel-Lebanon talks tells you everything you need to know.
I have curated this year's @publiclaw.bsky.social Special Analysis section "The Public Order Act 1986 at Forty", with six excellent contributions which together, I/we hope, offer an insight into the rich tapestry of contemporary protest law and policing in the UK, through that historical lens.
So uhhhh Reuters quietly shitcanned its climate team right around the same time WaPo did. Except maybe even more cowardly because they kept it under wraps. Not a great look given the abundance of oil money they take in between sponsored content and events.

If the National Party cares so much about productivity, they'd do something about the lost productivity of climate change disruptions. Very hard to be "productive" with school and kindy closed. But that would require doing something about fossil fuelled capitalism and, well ....
You know who turns up, every single time we have yet another extreme climate event?
Not the government.
Māori.
Every single time.
And this govt just keeps kicking them in the teeth?
Nope. Enough. #OneTermGovernment #nzpol #NZ
If David Seymour is so concerned about kids being in school he should do something about climate change. Our kid is one term + two days into school. The only two days of school he has missed has been because of weather closures. But we know that’s not what he actually cares about …
Incredible news!!!!!!
"The $86 billion NZ Super Fund has been operating under “unlawful” and “unreasonable” rules by investing in companies which operate in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), a court has found."

Wtf
Trump is threatening to erase an entire civilisation. We are watching genocide and war crimes become normalised in real time - Just look at Gaza. And where is the Minister for Foreign Affairs? In the United States, playing footsies with Rubio
Oo thanks - will definitely take a look!
The report says that "Small Advanced Economies" allocate 13% of research funding to society, education, politics etc. NZ allocates 3% and the PMSITAC recommend cutting it to 1%.
Where is The Cost of Being please @thespinoff.bsky.social? Nothing since 24 March and my nosiness is unsatiated
Israel has pushed ground forces into multiple areas of southern Lebanon
They've displaced huge numbers of civilians...
Yet it barely registers.
Russia did the same in Ukraine and the world responded with sanctions, outrage and coordinated pressure
The double standards are UNFORGIVABLE.
Ive seen some incorrect dates floating around. So just an FYI, members due to renew have till the 30 June and should now have an email with instructions. New members need to sign up by 24 April to vote at the AGM. #InternetNZ
"Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East", they say
Ali Shoeib
Say is name: Ali Shoeib, one of
three Lebanese journalists murdered today by Israel
Israel — the world’s most prolific killer of journalists and media workers — killed three more journalists in Lebanon today:
— Fatima Ftouni (Al Mayadeen TV)
— Ali Shoeib (Al Manar TV)
— Mohammed Ftouni (photojournalist)
Screenshot of a story from Stuff about Israel once again assassinating journalists
Our media need to be very explicit each time Israel trots out these lies - there is no evidence that the journalists they assassinate are working for these groups. They have directly targeted dozens and dozens of journalists with no accountability whatsoever
Live your life so someone writes of you like this. So much love, so much wisdom. And unexpectedly, so much hope.

Wikipedia now has higher standards than all universities
The Knights of Labour was a political organisation in NZ from 1887-1898: "officials bore titles such as Master Workman, Worthy Foreman, Venerable Sage, Unknown Knight, and Outside and Inside Esquire." Around that time 1 in 11 NZers was in a trade union

Nothing for beneficiaries in the fuel relief package because they don't need to "get to and from work each day". Apparently they also don't need to eat, get their kids to school or a playground, aren't allowed to leave their homes for joy, connection. Apparently beneficiaries just shouldn't live.
"Palo Alto has deep links to the Israeli government... A partnership with a firm that is aiding such a state, and now waging war on its neighbours, would seem to be entirely at odds with the university’s mandated role as critic and conscience of society."
