Why the Supreme Court Needs to Assert Itself Over the Public Charge Rule
Jason Richwine, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Jason Richwine* *Public Charge Rule, Americas* [image: U.S. Politics] The regulatory process needs to be followed and the Supreme Court cannot allow the current administration to sidestep normal procedure. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently teamed up with a lower-court judge to perform an act of bureaucratic magic—they made the public charge rule disappear. The instant demise of one of the Trump Administration’s signature policies illustrates how immigration advocates have so effectively allied with the judiciary to frustrate enforcement...

How Oil Workers And Environmentalists United In Struggle
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
Total’s objective in recent years has been to close its refineries in France. It has found ways to refine elsewhere: in Dubai, India, China, and with plans for Africa. The objective is twofold: to refine as close as possible to the crude oil deposits, but also to do so in countries where working conditions are worse and environmental standards are lower. Disastrous consequences have resulted, such as the forced displacement of entire populations in Uganda. Even though oil refining fulfills important needs in the region around Paris, and it is very profitable, Total’s refinery in G...

Victory! French Farmer Prevails in Highest Court Over Monsanto After Nearly 15 Years of Legal Battles
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 12 hours ago
When the Germany based chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer purchased Monsanto back in 2018, they got a lot more than they bargained for, including a laundry list of legal problems related to past use of glyphosate and other toxic agricultural chemicals. While Monsanto has flexed its muscle against overmatched family farmers for several decades, the tide is beginning to turn in the legal arena, as evidenced by the recent $10 billion settlement its new parent company reached with the thousands of people who claimed they’ve been seriously harmed by Roundup. But recently, another ...
Natural Alternatives to Roundup are Quite Easy to Make
