Not a surprise though. "California lost more than 75,000 residents in the last year, according to the new census numbers." - California, New York in danger of seeing House delegations shrink further

Glad to see this appeal. Whether this has any bearing on the permit is doubtful though, knowing how the courts have been ruling lately. Too many of what's his name's appointed judges fill those seats. But note this please: "'Studies show that Line 5 could be decommissioned with almost no impact on jobs, gas prices, or fuel supply.'" As also said: "They are prolonging the danger of another oil spill in the Great Lakes, the source of 84% of North America’s surface freshwater." And this: "'It’s important to remember that Enbridge does not yet have the final permit they need from the US Army Corps of Engineers to build the tunnel project.'"

What should be considered first, Alaskan Natives and what's at stake for them. And yeah, this is related to climate change.

Why is this not surprising? It is enough to anger even allies. The fact that "Native Hawaiian make up 50% of the unhoused population" is absurd. This may sound crazy but reading a good part of this makes me think of Hawaii by Michener that I read after 7th grade over the summers and yes, I read the entire thing. That novel is considered historical fiction, most of it being true other than what is presented about the early Polynesian inhabitants. - The US promised to return stolen lands to Native Hawaiians a century ago. Most are still waiting

Really curious what some of you think about this. Not so sure it's as close as it sounds. I'm also concerned about the aid for two countries that hinges on this coming to fruition. This is an Arizona station that published this. - A deal on US border policy is closer than it seems. Here's how it is shaping up and what's at stake

Just watch and learn. - Documenting Bears Ears National Monument

At least some places in CA have common sense and realize what's important. The Hostages must come home alive, in one piece ASAP. - California town world's largest mural for Gaza hostages
