A street arrest that left a man bloodied and with serious head injuries is now the subject of a Victoria Police investigation, as his friend says officers used “excessive force” after the man had an epileptic seizure.

In his final speech as Race Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Tim Soutphommasane says “there has never been a more exciting time to be a dog-whistling politician.”
Will not apply to Trump Resorts and properties though.

US President Donald Trump says companies operating in Iran will be barred from the US, as “the most biting sanctions ever imposed” on Tehran take effect despite pleas from Washington’s allies.
Musk is tired of Trump getting more press than him and is preparing his future as pitch man after his firm fails.

In a series of Twitter posts and a letter to employees, Tesla’s chief executive Elon Musk says he wants to take the company private, sending shares soaring.
Thumb in your eye Boris is having his fun any one’s expense he can unless he is run out of Tory Party!

British Prime Minister Theresa May and other senior Conservatives tell former foreign secretary Boris Johnson to say sorry for a newspaper column in which he wrote burka-wearing women looked like “letter boxes” and bank robbers.
North Korea can start selling its fake $100s and $50s again. Russia will sell steel and aluminum to Iran, and oil will be sold to Russian agents and repackaged to run overseas Trump resorts?

The United States re-imposed a wave of tough, unilateral sanctions against Iran on Tuesday, bringing back into effect harsh penalties that had been lifted under a historic, multi-party nuclear agreement that President Donald Trump abandoned in May.
ROTFLMAO – next he will be selling tears in little bottles! HAhahahaha The right-wing conspiracy theorist was defiant, depicting himself as a victim in a war on free speech, as the removal of his content from most social media platforms drastically reduced his audience.
I feel like the majority of the city council, when I walk in the room, the conversation shifts. People are quiet. I’m kept out of a lot of discussions. It’s still worth it. It changes the conversation. They are no longer in control of the narrative. Whether they exclude me or not, I’m in the story.

A year after white supremacists marched through the liberal city, Nikuyah Walker says the left needs less talk and more action
A year ago, white supremacist groups marched with torches through the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia. The city reacted by electing its first black female mayor, Nikuyah Walker, 38, a fierce critic of how city officials had handled last year’s far-right protests.
An independent, Walker ran under the campaign slogan “Unmasking the illusion”. She argued that Charlottesville’s Democratic politicians had failed to do enough to tackle systemic racism and economic inequality, and that it was time for a deeper change.

06/08/2018 – Keeping global warming to within 1.5-2°C may be more difficult than previously assessed. An international team of scientists has published a study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) showing that even if the carbon emission reductions called for in the Paris Agreement are met, there is a risk of the planet entering what the scientists call “Hothouse Earth” conditions. A “Hothouse Earth” climate will in the long term stabilize at a global average of 4-5°C higher than pre-industrial temperatures with sea level 10-60 m higher than today, the paper says. The authors conclude it is now urgent to greatly accelerate the transition towards an emission-free world economy.
