Supreme Court Ruling on Asylum Policy Denounced as 'Nothing Short of Cruel'
Common Dreams | Andrea Germanos
The Biden administration is being urged to strengthen protections for asylum seekers after the U.S. Supreme Court's Tuesday decision saying the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols, which forced asylum seekers at the southern border to wait in dangerous conditions in Mexico pending legal review of their cases, should be reinstated.
Corporate Media Politicize WHO Investigation on Covid Origins to Vilify China
FAIR | Joshua Cho
FAIR (10/6/20, 6/28/21) has previously critiqued Western news media’s credulous coverage of evidence-free “lab leak” speculations. One key factor in spreading suspicion that the coronavirus might have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is media’s early and ongoing politicization of the World Health Organization’s investigation into the pandemic’s origins. Much of this politicization weaponizes Orientalist tropes about China being especially, perhaps genetically, untrustworthy—the sort of people who would unleash Covid-19 on the world.
We Looked for Some of the Hottest Places in California. We Found Climate Injustice in a Nutshell.
ProPublica | Elizabeth Weil
The first time ProPublica traveled to Thermal, California, in June 2020, the temperature happened to be 114 degrees, and we felt stupefied, literally unable to think. Everyplace, here in the eastern Coachella Valley, looked gorgeous … for 20 minutes at dusk. Nothing was beautiful at midday. The difference between the watered and unwatered fields was disorienting. Standing in the sun among green growing things and standing alone on the gray parched earth felt like the difference between hope and despondence, even terror; between vibrancy and doom.
Keep fighting!
