My jaw hit the floor when I discovered Boris Johnson left an emergency NATO meeting after the Kremlin’s chemical warfare attack on Britain & flew to an off-the-books meeting with an ex-KGB spy. Yours should too. This is how it happened. 1/

We blew our ability to lead in the development of and setting standards for the 5G technology… by not granting **ONE** Green Card. Imagine all the technology we’re saying goodbye to by not retaining the foreign STEM talent trained at US universities. foreignpolicy.com/2022/07/16/imm…

NEW REPORT: Discovery of an extensive espionage campaign in Thailand 🇹🇭 involving the abuse of NSO Group’s #Pegasus spyware In collaboration with @iLawFX and @DigitalReachSEA citizenlab.ca/2022/07/geckos…

GeckoSpy: Pegasus Spyware Used Against Thailand’s Pro-Democracy Movement - The Citizen Lab
Uncovering an extensive espionage operation infecting dozens of Thai pro-democracy campaigners with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware.
Outside of the capital city of Bangkok, where most of the protests take place, mobile service providers have required their users to submit biometric data (e.g., in the restive Southern Border Provinces, which are populated by minority ethnic Malay Muslims)
This is a misleading. The south is over a thousand kilometers (700 miles) away from Bangkok.
“Restive” is underplaying it a tad much. There is an assassination or bomb practically every week. There isn’t a month that goes by without ppl dying violently from the insurgency. Thousands of people have died already.
July 8 - 4 killed in raid on insurgents https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2342487/four-insurgent-suspects-killed-in-three-days
May 26 - soldiers injured in shooting https://www.thaipbsworld.com/three-troopers-injured-in-insurgent-attack-in-tak-bai-wednesday-night/
The surveillance measures in the South are not reflective of the country as a whole. It is a war zone. Literally. They don’t protest down there, they bomb burn and shoot.
The protests are by the Thais, who have a political stake and see themselves as having a voice. Not by the Muslims, who don’t. Conflating them is disingenuous bullshit.
Other than that, pretty good report. There is a lot of unrest that they missed. The courts removing a PM for a cooking show, the Red Shirts shutting down the center of Bangkok, the Yellow Shirts seizing the airport for a week, the mass street protests that instigated the 2014 coup.

We often talk about climate change in terms of global averages, e.g. the world has warmed 1.2C since preindustrial. But no one lives in the global average; land areas have already warmed more than 1.8C on average, and many high latitude regions have already warmed more than 2C:
