Three Alaska Native tribes filed a lawsuit to stop a controversial gold mining operation east of Nome. The tribes say a permit just granted by the U.S. Corps of Engineers will allow the destruction of salmon habitat and other important environmental elements in a pristine estuary. The mining process involves extracting ore from material dredged from river and ocean beds. On the other side of the state, residents of Wrangell are concerned about a gold mine just over the border in Canada. A new report finds heavy metals in groundwater on the Alaska side.

Oppose the Trump administration's fascist attack on international students and academic freedom at Harvard!

From the Trump administration's 'skinny budget' that aims to cut $12 billion from the US Department of Education to the latest version of the state budget which underfunds Ohio's public schools by $2.75 billion in the next two years, threats at the federal and state levels make it more important now than ever the educators stand up for the supports and resources our students need. There are also opportunities to make our schools even better, including proposed legislation to support school meals and to provide financial support for student teachers. OEA Director of Government Relations breaks down some of the big issues, and tells us what we can do to make a difference right now.TAKE ACTION NOW | Click here for the OEA Action Alert to contact your state lawmakers and tell them to fully and fairly fund our public schools in this state budget.  Click here to sign a petition to protect Ohio's classrooms and support the Fair School Funding Plan.

How could the SAVE Act send us tumbling back to the Suffragette era? This bill that's pending review in the Senate could jeopardize voting access for up to 69 million American women. It would require all voters to prove citizenship with a passport or birth certificate in order to register to vote, which is a big problem for anyone who's name has changed since birth—including through marriage—as well as anyone who doesn't have easy access to such documentation.In this episode, I take a closer look at whether the concern from women and voter rights activists across the country is legitimate or overblown. Spoiler alert: it's worse than I imagined.Make sure you're in the know about this major threat, including:The specifics of the SAVE Act;The challenges that make this legislation so alarming to women's and voter rights activists;How you can make your voice heard to prevent this bill from becoming law.Related Links:5 Calls, “Oppose the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) - A Voter Suppression Bill - Passed House” - https://5calls.org/issue/save-act-voter-suppression/Congress.Gov, Find Your Members - https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-memberRead the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act - https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22Politico, “The House Passed the SAVE Act.

Today, Hunter was joined by longtime Louisiana Criminal Defense Lawyer and President of the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyer, Jim Boren. Over the past year, Hunter has discussed the erosion of public defender independence since Remy Starns became the chief public defender of the state. Now, Remy Starns is slated to fire five chief public defenders from around the state who opposed some of the policies that consolidated power into his hands.

African National Congress (ANC) policies are out of step with the majority - between 65 and 79% - of its remaining self-identified supporters. That is the finding of recent polling by the South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR). In this interview with BizNews, Hermann Pretorius who wrote the report says: “…the most hard-hitting finding is that on all of these policies investigated in this report, from merit-based appointments, procurement spending, the Expropriation Act, government focus on jobs and choice-based empowerment programs, the ANC is currently at odds with its own voters by at least a two-thirds majority of its own base.” He warns that unless the ANC acts “rapidly” to bring the party back in touch with its own supporters, it might fall “even lower than the 29.7%, which we are polling them at at the moment”. Pretorius outlines what former President Jacob Zuma's MKP - that supports property rights and merit-based appointments - would have to do to “take another few chunks out of ANC support by going where the ANC supporters actually want the ANC to go”. Meanwhile, he warns that the Democratic Alliance (DA) should not to allow opposing messages to come from the DA in government and the DA in the political party. “I sat next to Minister (Dean) MacPherson on the panel at NAMPO when he took this rather bizarre position of defending the Expropriation Act and undermining his own party's position, trotting out ANC talking point after ANC talking point. It was quite astonishing to hear a minister either lie about a piece of legislation he's responsible for or not understanding it.”

Americans, we need your help to stop a dangerous AI bill from passing the Senate. What's going on? The House Energy & Commerce Committee included a provision in its reconciliation bill that would ban AI regulation by state and local governments for the next 10 years. Several states have led the way in AI regulation while Congress has dragged its heels. Stopping state governments from regulating AI might be okay, if we could trust Congress to meaningfully regulate it instead. But we can't. This provision would destroy state leadership on AI and pass the responsibility to a Congress that has shown little interest in seriously preventing AI danger. If this provision passes the Senate, we could see a DECADE of inaction on AI. This provision also violates the Byrd Rule, a Senate rule which is meant to prevent non-budget items from being included in the reconciliation bill. What can I do? Here are [...] --- First published: May 15th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/qWcabjNqxEBNQY3cv/urgent-americans-call-your-senators-and-tell-them-you-oppose --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

House Republicans voiced concerns today following the passage of Senate Bill 42 out of the Judiciary–Criminal Committee. The proposal would eliminate the requirement for cannabis to be kept in odor-proof containers inside vehicles. Additionally, police would no longer be permitted to stop, search, or detain drivers and passengers over the age of 21 solely based on the smell of cannabis. Representative Dennis Tipsword, a veteran of 30 years in law enforcement, argued that this change would create new obstacles for police. The bill narrowly passed, 8-6, and will return to committee for amendments before advancing to the full House.

Deux pays durement touchés : le Lesotho et Madagascar. La quatrième plus grande île du monde écope de 47% de droit de douane sur tous ses produits entrants aux États-Unis. Mais pas de panique pour l'Express de Madagascar. Qui titre « Trumpette dans un verre d'eau ». Estimant que les conséquences les plus importantes de ces décisions seront pour les consommateurs américains. Le journal loue le bloc international qui se dresse devant le président américain. L'Express de Madagascar qui cite la présidente mexicaine : « Trump tourne le dos à sept milliards de consommateurs qui n'auront aucun mal à troquer iPhone contre Samsung, Levi's contre Zara, Ford contre Toyota, Nike contre Adidas. (…) « Il ne faut pas (...) en faire un drame », rassure le journal « Même les petits pays exportateurs, à l'image de Madagascar, peuvent se tourner vers ces sept milliards de consommateurs à travers le monde. Hors ce sont les États-Unis qui risquent de vivre en autarcie avec leur politique protectionniste exacerbée ». « Faire un choix entre les plus vulnérables des plus vulnérables »Mais une autre décision de Donald Trump a bien plus de conséquences pour le continent africain : l'arrêt des aides américaines au développement. 83% de l'USAID supprimé. L'Amérique principal donateur des ONG humanitaires et autres programmes d'aides de l'ONU a coupé le robinet dès le jour de l'investiture de Donald Trump. Et les premières conséquences sont là. « Faire un choix entre les plus vulnérables des plus vulnérables » titre Le Monde Afrique. En RDC par exemple, la Guerre entre armée congolaise et M23 soutenu par le Rwanda provoque un afflux massif de réfugiés. Le programme alimentaire mondial réduit les rations alimentaires de moitié. « Sans financements supplémentaires », souffle une responsable au Monde : « nous devrons stopper toute aide alimentaire à partir de juillet ».Autre pays, le Soudan, victime d'une guerre dévastatrice entre armée régulière et forces paramilitaires. 9 millions de Soudanais déracinés ces deux dernières années. Là aussi conséquences concrètes : selon le HCR, source Le Monde « Plus de 500 000 déplacées pourraient perdre l'accès à l'eau potable, aux soins et à l'assainissement par manque de financements ».« Au Tchad » explique le journal « dans les camps autour de Farchana, non loin d'Adré, 160 000 réfugiés soudanais ne peuvent déjà plus être soignés correctement, les ONG locales ont dû cesser leur activité. (…) Quand votre budget est soudainement amputé des deux tiers, on choisit de rester dans certains pays et d'en quitter d'autres », explique au Monde Afrique une responsable d'une importante ONG sous couvert d'anonymat.Mali, Algérie, causes profondes de la criseLa crise diplomatique entre Mali et Algérie observée et commentée dans toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Pour rappel, le Mali accuse l'Algérie d'avoir abattu un de ses drones à sa frontière. Ce qu'Alger dément. Depuis dimanche, le dialogue semble rompu. Ambassadeurs des deux pays rappelés et espace aériens mutuellement fermés.Mais selon le site d'information guinéen Aminata, les causes de ce conflit sont bien plus profondes qu'un simple tir sur un drone. Il faut aller chercher l'accord d'Alger de 2015 pour comprendre. « Celui qui est », explique le journal en ligne « conçu comme socle d'une stabilisation durable du Mali par l'intégration politique des (séparatistes ndlr) Touaregs et qui pose comme base une gouvernance territoriale partagée ». Un accord duquel Bamako s'est retiré début 2024. Selon Aminata, ce retrait est « interprétée à Alger comme un démantèlement volontaire d'un mécanisme de sécurité régionale auquel l'Algérie avait prêté son poids politique ». Le journal guinéen analyse : « La crise actuelle préfigure peut-être d'une recomposition géopolitique durable au Sahel. Oppose deux visions : celle (...) d'acteurs étatiques souverainistes, militarisés et tournés vers de nouveaux partenaires, et celle d'une approche plus diplomatique (...) incarnée (...) par l'Algérie ».

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning to replace a 100-year-old canal lock that connects the Mississippi River to the Industrial Canal in the Lower Ninth Ward. The project has an estimated timeline of 13 years and a budget of more than $1 billion. Also in the works is a plan to build a $30 million grain terminal in Holy Cross.These projects are concerning residents, who worry they could lead to flooding,pollution and other issues. Sam Bowler, organizer with The Canal Will Kill NOLA, tells us how community members are fighting back, including their upcoming 5K race to raise awareness. Since Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has made major cuts to national government agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is no exception. The administration has fired four senior FEMA senior officials, reduced staffing by 84 percent and declared they would, “get rid of FEMA the way it exists today.”Sarah Labowitz, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, tells us how these changes could dramatically alter how Gulf states prepare for and respond to natural disasters. A new collection of essays, art and poetry by men incarcerated at the Mississippi State Penitentiary -- best known as Parchman Farm -- is shedding light on one of the country's most notorious prison units. For The Gulf States Newsroom, Mississippi Public Broadcasting's Michael McEwen tells us how this effort began shortly after the most violent period in Parchman's history. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

There's nothing worse than doing evil in the name of religion. But it was the high priest who stirred people into condemning Jesus to the cross! All across history we see hatred manifested in the works of religious people. This does not reflect or uplift the name of Jesus—it does the opposite! As Christians, we are called to love even the people who disagree with us.

President Trump is telling the media he is the most successful president in history. Traffic at the southern border is down, but some costs remain high. Doge seems to be backfiring and lawsuits are flying over some of his executive orders. Plus, there is a lot of anxiety when it comes to the markets. Is doing a lot more important than doing a lot the right way? We have a poll up this morning asking whether you think Trump has been a successful president so far, based on whether he has done what he has set out to do well or whether he has not done it well. We welcome former ABC White House correspondent Jim Avila to talk about the situation at the border and And Weather deporting criminals is worth the risk of deporting people who have done nothing wrong, and the even bigger risk of disregarding our Constitution.Mark recently sat down with Mike Papantonio.

"With respect to alien enemies, no doubt has been intimated as to the federal authority over them." That was James Madison, referring to the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 - an act he saw as constitutional while rejecting the rest of the Alien and Sedition Acts. In this episode, you'll learn what the act actually says, why Madison defended it while opposing the others, and how narrowly it applies in practice.

The idea of procreating with yourself raises massive ethical and biblical concerns. Segment 2: • Scriptural Proof: Matthew 19, Mark 7, and Revelation 2:14 & 2:20 all affirm God's design for marriage and sexuality. • Bearing Fruit: God calls His people to bear spiritual and physical fruit—how does this apply to today's cultural debates? • Living in Righteousness: If we are clothed in Christ, we should joyfully align our lives with His commands.
