[ad_1] Wildfire risk just got a lot worse in California, where some of the state’s most effective fire prevention specialists—goats—are under regulatory attack. As of July 1, the state’s standard minimum wage and overtime laws now apply to goat-herding companies, whose animals clear brush and reduce fire danger across the state. The change threatens to sideline these vital firefighters at a time when California can ill afford a setback in wildfire prevention. For decades, California’s goat and sheep herders have been largely exempt from the state’s wage and overtime rules. This is on account of the round-the-clock lifestyle that herding entails; without…

[ad_1] Four years ago, Colombo was the world’s cautionary tale. A sovereign default, fuel queues that stretched for kilometres, a presidential palace occupied by its own citizens. This week, the same city is hosting trade unionists, party cadre, scholars, and ministers from across Asia, from Nepal to the Philippines and from Iran to Indonesia. They have gathered under a banner that would have sounded utopian in 2022: Hands Off Asia. The choice of venue is the argument. Sri Lanka’s crisis was never only Sri Lankan. It was the compressed experience of what much of Asia lives in slow motion: production…

[ad_1] “The math just doesn’t math,” says Sophia, a New York City landlord. All of her major expenses—insurance, labor, fuel, and property taxes—are going up. Now she can no longer cover those costs by raising the rent she charges. When New York’s Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) approved a rent increase of 0 percent in June, the city’s new mayor celebrated with a frozen treat. A short video posted to social media shows Zohran Mamdani reaching into a freezer to grab an ice cream bar while announcing that the “independent” board froze rents for the 2 million tenants living in the…

[ad_1] Let’s begin with what we know with the proviso that much in this case has been shielded from public view.  Andrea Shaw (23, of Payette, Idaho) has been indicted on two counts of first-degree murder by suffocation in the deaths of her 18-month-old fraternal twins, Dallas and Tyson Shaw. She is in prison now and faces a life sentence or possible death penalty for murder.  The story begins on April 23, 2025, when the twins received three vaccines (Hepatitis A, flu, and DTaP) on the same day during a wellness visit. Andrea warned ahead of time that the father’s…

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair The world stands on the precipice of all-out war; missiles, drones and jets fly through the skies of Ukraine, Russia, Iran, Lebanon and Palestine. The occupier nation of Israel continues its daily slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza while its irregular forces falsely characterized as settlers terrorize and kill other Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel’s mentor, sugar daddy, and ultimate commander—the nation they call the USA—conspires and cooperates in the killing across the region. Meanwhile, in that nation called USA an internal army kidnaps, terrorizes and kills workers and their families under the guise…

[ad_1] It remains a prickly reminder that Australia remains an embarrassed vassal of power, annexed to the security interests of another state basking in imperial and fast diminishing splendour.  Pine Gap, known more technically as the Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap (JDFPG), is a largely US-operated effort in Alice Springs, Central Australia.  As the late scholar of strategic studies Desmond Ball pithily remarked in 1988, it is “an espionage operation.  Euphemisms should not be allowed to obscure this essential point.”  It grew out of a desire on the part of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1965 to establish a remote Australian-sited ground control station intended…
