[ad_1] Image by Ioannis Xenidis. After British troops had beaten German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s tank forces at the Second Battle of El Alamein in Egypt on November 4, 1942, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared, “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning.” The same might now be said about humanity’s struggle to defeat the dire threat of global climate change caused by our never-ending burning of fossil fuels. The illegal war of aggression on Iran, abruptly launched on February 28, 2026, by the governments…

[ad_1] Amsterdam has banned advertisements for both meat and fossil fuels as part of its plan to fight climate change. Since May 1, ads for things such as burgers, gasoline-powered cars, airlines, and cruise vacations have been removed from billboards, tram stops, and metro stations across the city. City leaders say the goal is to help Amsterdam become carbon neutral by 2050. [ad_2] Source link

[ad_1] Last week, Clarence Thomas became the second-longest serving justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. If he remains on the bench through 2028, he will surpass the Franklin D. Roosevelt-appointed William O. Douglas as the longest-serving justice of them all. You’re reading Injustice System from Damon Root and Reason. Get more of Damon’s commentary on constitutional law and American history. Like it or not, Thomas will also go down in the books as one of the most influential justices in SCOTUS history. “In one big case after another, from the expansion of gun rights to the elimination…

[ad_1] Downtown Minneapolis protest, January 2026. Image Wikipedia. Earlier this year, when ICE invaded Minneapolis in a horrific siege that is no longer discussed but is absolutely ongoing, my home in the heart of “flyover country” was again thrust into the national and international spotlight, as it was after George Floyd’s murder. And again—as if the Twin Cities’ vibrant literary community is somehow unequipped to write about the happenings of their home with the nuance necessary for reporting that’s not only accurate, but actually sophisticated—the parachute reporting laced with intellectually lazy observations and pedestrian analyses from publications that are somehow…

[ad_1] A Colorado statute that was supposed to take effect next month would take a regulatory mechanism familiar from civil rights law—the requirement that private actors examine outcomes by race and adjust their conduct when the numbers come out wrong—and push it into territory the Supreme Court so far has avoided presiding over: artificial intelligence. Colorado Senate Bill 24-205, currently under challenge in federal court by Elon Musk’s xAI and the Department of Justice, was sold to Coloradans as a shield against “algorithmic discrimination.” This is a term that, in the law’s own usage, does not mean what an ordinary…

[ad_1] Xi and DeepSeek: Chinese artificial intelligence giant DeepSeek has now been optimized to run on Huawei-produced chips, reducing any possible dependence on U.S. products. Announcements last month indicate that DeepSeek is spending way less on chips than American counterparts OpenAI and Anthropic. The Reason Roundup Newsletter by Liz Wolfe Liz and Reason help you make sense of the day’s news every morning. But it’s “the timing of DeepSeek’s announcement—before this week’s scheduled summit between President [Donald] Trump and Xi Jinping, China’s leader—[that] gives Beijing fresh confidence entering trade talks that U.S. export controls on Nvidia chips have not derailed…

[ad_1] An illegal auction of stolen Palestinian land at an elite Upper East Side synagogue, and the swift condemnations from groups like J Street launched against New Yorkers who attempted to protest it, reveal the Zionist rot at the heart of the American Jewish elite establishment that is bastardizing and corrupting the religion from within, and why liberal Zionist groups present only an impotent challenge to it. “The Great Israeli Real Estate Event,” held last Tuesday at Park East Synagogue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, was organized to assist prospective buyers in the United States, Canada, and the U.K. purchase…

[ad_1] Washington and Moscow both enthusiastically celebrated the victory of the Allied “Grand Alliance” over the fascist powers at the end of World War II. Since then, however, the two capitals have typically been on opposite sides of numerous nasty geostrategic struggles around the world. They also have relished opportunities to work with foreign countries and political movements to create major headaches for the other great power. A crucial recent example of that strategy has been the decision by the United States and its NATO allies to use Ukraine as a military proxy against the Russian Federation and its leader,…
