This is a great question for all of congress to think about.

Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?

Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates
I wonder how much the dissolution of FEMA and cancellation of flooding infrastructure programs is going to increase insurance premiums?

Especially as the population ages, inflation spikes, and a large % of housing stock is used as short term rentals in high risk areas.

Months of @sarahschwartz.bsky.social making this point, followed by a week of rightwing media proving her point, culminate in this perfect distillation of how hollow Dutton's "anti-antisemitism" crusade is

Bravo to Sarah for calling it out, at great personal cost

It means we aren’t talking about what actually makes Dutton a massive problem and he doesn’t need to convince the Aussie maga freaks. Meanwhile the people who go ‘wow he is’ in a negative way already aren’t voting for him.

Thousands of the Gaza Strip's 2 million residents are searching for the bodies of relatives either missing under the rubble or buried in mass graves during Israeli ground raids.
Bereaved Gazans dig out bodies from city ruins and give them graves
Burials are usually carried out within a few hours of death in Muslim and Arab communities, and failure to ensure dignified burials is agonizing for families.

An incredibly well-researched piece on the horrors of Neil Gaiman. It is extremely upsetting and explicit. Please be careful reading it.

SEX is changeable and NOT binary!

Australian Federal Court 23/08/2024

The judge found there are 30 years of legal precedent ... that 'F' includes females with a trans history.

This wasn't a landmark decision, it recognized ... that is a part of our existing law.

Genocide.

Israel should be banned from all international forums, events, sporting competitions.

Trade with Israel should be embargoed.

Anyone associated with the IDF should be denied visas.
