‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

EPA proposes gutting rules for handling toxic coal ash, a move that threatens groundwater The Trump administration on Thursday proposed weakening rules for the disposal of ash produced by burning coal that can contain hazardous heavy metals and contaminate groundwater.

The Trump Administration just proposed gutting protections on toxic coal ash, a move that could contaminate our groundwater with heavy metals like mercury and lead.  
   
Let’s be clear: this is about letting polluters off the hook.

UPDATE: The Trump administration is deporting "nonviolent medically impaired grandparents" to Laos over a 33-year-old drug conviction, a decision Judge Tana Lin says is "inhumane" and "cruel" — but says she is powerless to stop.

It's already manditory; it just wasn't automated. As a boy-mom, I feel your dread. If young men do not sign up, currently they can be jailed - true story. Find your son's civic teacher and have them teach the kids and parents about it including why girls don't have to do it.

I loved my 70s culottes. Wear you. No gaslighting. You look great.

'That wasn't me': How facial recognition led to a woman being jailed for 6 months Kimberlee Williams, who lived in Oklahoma, was jailed after being accused of crimes in Maryland, a state she'd told investigators she never visited.

Kimberlee Williams had never been to Maryland when she was arrested for a crime that she didn’t commit, because police relied on an incorrect result from facial recognition technology and concealed it from the court when applying for arrest warrants.

Data centers enjoyed bipartisan support from Virginians as recently as 2023, but that has flipped to dismay throughout the state.

That shift suggests Virginians now consider data centers almost as undesirable as nuclear power plants.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
