The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to restart its program of removing migrants to countries other than their homeland without giving them an opportunity to raise human rights concerns.

The court said it would hear arguments in the case later this year. https://cnn.it/4AFFz0M

Absolutely horrific.
May I live to see the power-addicted criminals get what they are due.
Google Maps has just updated its satellite view of the Gaza Strip, revealing the massive scale of destruction. It looks much like the aftermath of the scorched-earth policy the Nazis carried out after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943.

A federal judge has ruled that Roger Rogoff, the judicially appointed U.S. attorney in Seattle, has been illegally fired by the Trump admin and must be provisionally reinstated by the Justice Department.
Trump illegally fired Seattle’s U.S. attorney, judge rules
The ruling is the latest in a string of decisions finding that the administration bent federal law to keep loyalists in key prosecutorial posts.

America wants to Police the World!
Yet, it doesn't do well taking care of it's own. That is not a new problem. It is a feature of Capitalism and Greed. Trump's Admin has proven that to be an ugly truth, for Trump's Presidency has been the worst, by far!

One of the winners of the Right Livelihood Award, Dr. Timnit Gebru, is founder/exec. dir. of DAIR (Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute).
Her interview on Democracy Now got me jazzed to learn about what they do, and how to fight the AI threat.

Love this.
Although, what does it say that we still live in a world where there have to be separate awards to make sure brilliant women are recognized.
Until we figure out how to "push" our way into equality in all aspects of life and living, we will live in a world skewed towards male thinking.
The 2026 Right Livelihood Award goes to women and women-led organisations challenging entrenched power structures:

🏆 Jalila Haider @jalilahaider.bsky.social
🏆 Rural Women's Assembly
🏆 Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association

Making Green A Threat Again

A lot has happened since I wrote this in 2013. But, the premise of environmentalists making their movement bolder, fiercer & more of a threat than what a bunch of D.C. based NGOs & politicians were telling them holds up.

#tdih 1962, "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson published, exposed impact of pesticides on environment.

Carson was vilified: called a Communist, disloyal, unscientific, and hysterical.

Sound familiar? Attacks on truth tellers, with media complicity.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era.
