Middleboro Review and so on

  Israel and Lebanon agree to 10-day ceasefire in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah "Who the hell wrote that?" Trump stops mid-speech to ask what a "corner store" is The guy who's somehow managed to convince an alarming number of Americans that he's a real "man of the people" is so fundamentally out of touch, so disconnected from reality, so unfathomably privileged, he stopped mid-speech — about tax cuts for small businesses! — to ask outloud what the hell a "corner store" was. Donald Trump, born in New York City in 1946, doesn't know what a bodega is. Let that sink in for a second. We shouldn't really be all that surprised, to be honest.

There is an official public comment period open until November 7 , and we need to mobilize as much opposition to this new Trump p...

    On Thursday, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum announced that he will open the entire 1.56 million acres of the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas leasing. The Arctic — and our planet — cannot afford massive new oil drilling projects. These lands are sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, home to irreplaceable wildlife, wilderness and cultural values, and have never seen industrialization. The administration’s agenda for the Arctic doesn’t end here. It aims to maximize drilling across the entire region. Learn more about new threats to the Arctic and how you can help Earthjustice fight back. LEARN MORE Since our founding 50 years ago, Earthjustice has gone to court to defend the Arctic from environmentally disastrous oil and gas projects. We stopped the Peregrine drilling project and are still in court fighting leases granted by the first Trump administration. We’ve protected countless acres of Alaska wilderness from pipelines, drilling, and other ex...
