Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Mexico is suing Google over renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Only 6% of the Gulf of Mexico is in the USA, Donald Trump has no right to rename it.
It is going to be a costly loss for Google.

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

Is that because it has Black and Brown people, or because they teach kids empathy, or because the characters can read?
