Everyone: call on Attorney General Becerra to hold Amazon accountable for its abuses of its workers in California.

The FBI shut down a real right-wing terrorist plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

I hope that after January we can prosecute the extremist that encouraged this plot.

The Dutch Rijksmuseum is thinking about returning objects that were collected over a century ago from territory that is now Indonesia. What does it mean to "return" those objects?

Consider the diamond mentioned in the article, which the Dutch took from the Sultan of Banjarmasin. If the Netherlands ought to return that, to whom should it be returned? Today's Republic of Indonesia has nothing to do with that diamond's history; it succeeded the Netherlands as the sovereign power for most of Borneo but not directly from the Sultan's government. It makes no sense to "return" the diamond to the republic. The sultan of Banjarmasin would hardly have demanded the return of his diamond to a polity based on Java unless it was ruled by his descendants.

The diamond could be returned to the sultan's last heir (who might that be?), but is there really a moral obligation to do that?

The diamond may be worth a lot of money, but I'd expect it has less non-monitary value than other objects in the museum. Each one raises the questions, "Was this stolen?" and "If so, from whom?" and "Who is the heir today of that person or entity?"

Golden Dawn organized a quasimilitary militia and carried out crimes of violence for 20 years before it was prosecuted. Why did the Greek state take so long to prosecute it?
