*Georgia county to use program linked to election denier to flag ineligible voters.*

Boeing and its spin-off Spirit put *Profits And Payouts Over Passenger Safety.* This article gives the history and details.

The US system of business is fundamentally broken, systematically producing results that don't resemble what is said to make capitalism beneficial. It is no longer "If we do a good job of XYZ, we will make a lot of money"; rather, "Let's make more money by doing a bad job and screwing our customers, our workers and the public."

*The far right infiltration [and even domination] of Israel's media is blinding the public to the truth about Gaza.*

There is a peace movement in Israel which demands to end Israel's atrocities in Gaza, and an end to the fighting there. Fair access to the media would help it succeed.

How conservatives in the US have for decades misrepresented Martin Luther King Jr as being on their side, only color-blind.

Several countries in Latin America are tossing human rights on the garbage pile in trying to defeat gangs by making war on them in parallel with arbitrary imprisonment of suspects.

This war of repression looks like "the only way" for the government to end gang violence, but that assumes the government will win the war — and they don't seem to actually win. (The US government likewise assumed it would eventually win in Vietnam and Afghanistan, but it never did.) The governments of El Salvador and Ecuador may not win either. Haiti's government eventually surrendered to gang rule.

I don't know what these governments should do. Maybe it is hopeless. But it seems to me that this war is an extension of the US "war on drugs". If the US switches to a harm-reduction policy, with decriminalization and treatment, it could reduce the profits that keep gangs interested.
