Right-wing influencer David Medina was picked by DHS to cover Secretary Noem’s Portland visit. He shows his audience “like maybe five or ten protesters,” seemingly supporting what Oregon leaders have been saying about the ICE protests: unremarkable unless ICE officers use riot control agents.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

This senate bill would open all federal land within 100 miles of both international borders to roads, bridges, surveillance, and more in the name of homeland security. Sportsmen's groups say the bill, which is sponsored by just one politician from a border state, would 'defile' the Wilderness Act.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee is back with his attacks on public lands. This time, he introduced an unfounded bill under the pretense of border security.

Far-right parties in Belgium call for "antifa" bans.

The UK's Reform Party is adopting policy positions that are a “copy and paste” of Trump’s.

The American flag is a symbol for Brazil's far-right.

As Trump tears apart the US, experts worry that other countries may dismantle themselves too.

Is America contagious?

Scholars in political extremism are documenting the global spread of right-wing populism.

Do you hear the Alaska delegation starting the chainsaws?

“The largest roadless area, in the Tongass national forest in Alaska, is one of the most carbon-rich forests in the world and contains more brown bears than the entire lower 48 states, drawn to an abundance of salmon.”

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 17h

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws"

Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

Alaskans own 25% of the Alaska LNG project—but we’re not allowed to see the cost. That’s our money, our risk.

On Oct 8, ask them yourself at the Nikiski Community Open House (5:30–7:30 pm, 50097 Kenai Spur Hwy).

#AKLNG #Alaska #JustTransition #RenewableEnergy

Opinion: The Alaska LNG project is digging itself deeper into quicksand

Telling Alaskans they can’t know the estimated construction cost will further erode public support for the long-discussed project.
