Amnesty International…demanded online retail giant Amazon start prioritizing the health and safety of its workers around the planet.

This one injustice is a small part of the injustice Amazon does. Let's refuse to give it any money.

If you want to vote in November, check now that you are registered. And you may have to do more than that.

However, it is an exaggeration to say we have 6.5 months to "save the planet", because whatever happens in November, the president elected then won't try to do it.

A business collects broken plastic fishing nets in Chile and recycles them to make clothing.

A large fraction of the plastic floating in the oceans comes from broken fishing nets, so this could be quite useful if it scales up.

Unfortunately the oil glut may kill the market for the recycled plastic.

Sérgio Moro, Brazil's justice minister, has resigned.

Previously, as a judge, he participated in a corrupt scheme to jail Lula.

The UK is prosecuting supporters of independence for Scotland, and others who have reported on the trial of Alex Salmond, for publishing information that could have helped people identify one of the witnesses that testified for the prosecution. One of them is Craig Murray.

I think there is more from him here.

Murray says that mainstream newspapers published more or less the same information but were not prosecuted. He concludes that this is a politically biased prosecution. He will not get a jury trial, so he could be railroaded as Assange is being.

Alex Salmond was the leader of the Scottish National Party, which advocated independence for Scotland (and still does). He was accused of raping or groping women (I don't know the details), but the jury rejected the charges.

I have no position on the issue of Scotland, but politically biased prosecution is evil.
