Icebergs drift by, whale blows dot the horizon, and penguins dip and dive amongst the waves. All of sudden, a giant #supertrawler rumbles past, catching the foundational #species that supports all this incredible life – #krill.
This is happening every year. Antarctic krill are being hoovered out of the ocean to be turned into supposed health #supplements or used as feed for #FarmedSalmon.
Our #campaign is already making waves. The #AssociatedPress in the #USA has just released an in-depth exposé and mini-documentary that details the destructive #KrillFishery and our journey to Antarctica.
This is the beginning of ensuring that Antarctic krill isn't plundered for #profit. If we can use people power to ensure that no Australian retailers are selling krill, then we can start to bring about an end to krill fishing in Antarctica.

U.S. #airlines are suing to block the #Biden administration from requiring greater #transparency over fees that the carriers charge their passengers, saying that a new rule would confuse consumers by giving them too much information during the ticket-buying process.
Thank you to #PBS, the #AssociatedPress and #FrontLine for your reporters who do the extremely dangerous work of remaining in a #warzone to tell us what's happening. 💪

Fucks sake 🤦♂️ He has every right to be upset but that's it.
Never any excuse to even have her in a chokehold. Clearly his ego & maturity couldn't handle it.
Despite #RoeVsWade being overturned, as someone watching from #Scotland, I still believe it's ultimately the choice of every woman what happens with her body, it's never for anyone else to dictate.
AP analysis: Rocket from #Gaza appeared to go astray, likely caused hospital explosion
"AP analyzed more than a dozen videos from the moments before, during and after the hospital explosion, as well as satellite imagery and photos. AP’s analysis shows that the rocket that broke up in the air was fired from within Palestinian territory and that the hospital explosion was most likely caused when part of that rocket crashed to the ground."
Obscene. Repugnant. Anathema to the profession. Sick.
Associated Press takes a bow for turning Hamas massacre victim into their coveted prize. AP celebrates what they would not have won if Hamas had not slaughtered over 1200 people and if AP were not a primary Hamas terrorist propaganda tool.
