US citizens: call on the Treasury Department to launch investigations of tax dodgers revealed by the Panama papers

The inhabitants of Ni'lin village continue regular nonviolent protests against the Israel wall that cut them off from their farmland, and Israel keeps attacking them.

Distribution of "child" pornography is now hidden on sites that normally appear to have only adult pornography. The result is that people trying to download the adult pornography may get "child" pornography they did not want. They could be jailed for this.

This is yet more proof that it is intolerable to prosecute people for having downloaded something, or having a copy of something — no matter what that something is.

Be careful not to take the term "child abuse images" on face value. It's accurate for some of the images, which are photos of real sexual abuse of real children, but not all of them. Some of the "children" are adolescents, or even adults that appear to be adolescents, and others are not real people at all.

US citizens: call on Obama to block the merger of Syngenta and ChemChina.

To avoid 2C of global heating, countries must strengthen their Paris Agreement pledges pretty soon.
