Is it time for the UK to set maximum workplace temperatures?
A coalition of environmental and anti-poverty organisations has warned ministers that the UK is “built for a climate that no longer exists”, calling for urgent action to protect people from increasingly frequent and severe heatwaves after this year's extreme temperatures were linked to thousands of deaths.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on July 1 his intent to designate certain Muslim and anti-fascist groups
—including U.S. groups
—as “terrorist organizations.”
Using authorities granted to him in a new Florida law, which took effect earlier that day,
DeSantis declared that he would seek designation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR),
the Muslim Brotherhood, and “Antifa,” among others.
Within hours, the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law …

Under long-standing DOJ internal rules in the Justice Manual,

—a standard meant to avoid subjecting anyone to a fatally weak criminal case
(meaning, even if you can meet the low evidentiary threshold of “probable cause” to bring an indictment,

The Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a prominent civil rights organization, the group’s CEO said on Tuesday.
Bryan Fair, the CEO of the SPLC, said the details of the investigation were not entirely clear,
though “the focus appears to be on the SPLC’s prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups”.

An updated version of an Avalon song sparked memories of Contemporary Christian Music, Ray Boltz, and the way evangelical culture treats LGBTQ believers. This reflection explores hypocrisy, deconstruction, and why churches often fight harder against marriage equality than poverty, hunger, or suffering.
