Spying on protesters, Dakota Access Pipeline
A spy company
hired by the companies behind the Dakota Access Pipeline
used lawful and unlawful methods to snoop on the campaigners opposing
to the pipeline.
For me, the most important thing about the pipeline is that it would
lead to more fossil fuel use for a long time, and therefore contribute
to global disaster. It is interesting that, for the author of the
article, the fact that indigenous people lived nearby and played a
major role in that campaign is more important than helping to save the world.

PFAS in packaging
Some PFAS are used in packaging, and are supposedly safe when used
that way, but in fact they can escape from the packaging and get into
the food or beverage. |

Teenager in Kansas City was shot
A teenager in Kansas City was shot while trying to pick up two of his brothers
when he was shot.
Why was he shot? He had gone to the wrong address, and he was black.
The victim made an innocent mistake, and perhaps so did the shooter.
But the victim's mistake was harmless and nonviolent. The shooter's mistake,
if it was one, was to jump to a hostile conclusion without checking it.
We must not accept the excuse of "innocent mistake" for violent actions. |

Urgent: fund Public Media
US citizens: call on Congress to fund Public Media.
Corporate "sponsors" have too much influence over US public media. As
usual, they use that influence to slant coverage and adjust the
Overton window. With more public funds, public media could resist
their influence more.
The Capitol Switchboard numbers are
+1-202-224-3121,
+1-888-818-6641 and
+1-888-355-3588.
