US citizens: call on Congress to reform the Electoral Count Act in order to close a loophole the wrecker tried to use for the coup.

But Congress should watch out for this pitfall.

The UK has yielded to evident moral obligation and will pay to replace the flammable cladding in all the buildings that have it. Previously the Tories planned to do this only for the taller buildings. I never saw a justification for making that distinction, and I can't see one.

This is the right way to handle that issue.

However, there are buildings that were built with other dangerous features, and they raise the same issue.

If the builders skimped on satisfying building codes, the builders should pay.

The editors of the New York Times support unionization; the business side is trying to oppose unionization.

The article errs in presenting this as hypocrisy, because it can also bee understood as respect for editorial independence. It is a good thing that the business management does not order the editors to desist from supporting unions to avoid putting the business's own practices in a bad light. We can criticize the business for opposing union organizing, but to do so presuming that the business and the editorial office are supposed to agree is to work against editorial independence.

Old joke: how do you tell the difference between a labor organizer and a chemist? By their pronunciations of "unionized."

Republican-ruled US states are putting up arbitrary obstacles to interfere with obtaining and using abortion pills.

The US must allow people to get these pills without a prescription, by mail, so that women in Republican-ruled states can get them. To fail to do this is to put their health in danger three times — first from pregnancy, then from childbirth, and ultimately from the responsibility for raising a child, which drives many destitute Americans to dangerous measures.

Palestinian-Egyptian activist Ramy Shaath has been released from prison and sent into exile in France.

There are multiple injustices here. Imprisoning someone for political organizing is one. Arbitrarily labeling a person as "terrorist" with no proof is another. Arbitrarily labeling an organization as "terrorist" is another. Taking away someone's citizenship is another.

Alas, some of these injustices are often carried out by the US as well.

The Muslim Brotherhood's political position is also unjust, because it advocates denying equal rights to non-Muslims. Most "Muslim" countries commit this injustice; indeed, Egypt already does so.
