Federal Contractors with History of OSHA Violations Battle New Safety Rules.

Turkey proposes to establish a safe zone in Syria, near the Turkish border, for refugees.

I think the plan is a good idea, if it can be prevented from leading to a war between Turkey and Russia.

Turkey accuses Russia of intentionally attacking civilians to send them fleeing.

I would not put this past Putin. That doesn't prove it is an intentional plan. Maybe sending so many people fleeing is just a byproduct. If so, Putin clearly does not mind.

Israel's campaign to make peaceful opposition to its occupation policies a crime has led to oppressive policies in France and the UK, and they are trying it in the US too.

Some twenty years ago, Massachusetts passed a law to boycott companies that did business in Burma. At the time, the US had not yet adopted strong trade sanctions against Burma. Other countries called this a "non-tariff barrier to trade" and said it violated the World Trade Organization rules. Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, a law that prohibited states from adopting such boycotts: a victory for plutocracy over democracy.

This is one of the many plutocratist actions I condemn Bill Clinton for. Hillary Clinton appears to be basically the same in her support for plutocracy, which is why I will not vote for her for president.

US citizens: call on the Senate to vote on the replacement for Scalia.

Everyone: Call for the arrest of Governor Snyder for recklessly poisoning the children of Flint, Michigan.
