Poland is holding a follow-up conference to the 2015 Paris conference, which made a toothless agreement that is failing to curb global heating. Poland has prohibited protests in the host city, and authorized itself to spy on people at will.

Even worse, the Polish government is in the planet-roaster camp and is already arranging to make the event useless.

US citizens, tell Wells Fargo: divest from private prison companies.

US citizens: oppose the bill to permit underwater factory farms in federal waters.

US citizens: call on the Indian Health Service to implement its protocols for dealing with reported "sexual assaults".

An American who shot a giraffe in Africa is being called a "murderer" and a "savage".

I have no particular sympathy for hunting, and I want the giraffe species to be protected. Notwithstanding that, I think those condemnations are unjustified.

I don't know enough about giraffe conservation to be sure whether killing that particular giraffe was helpful or harmful. But even if we suppose it was harmful, the word "murderer" would be an exaggeration. A giraffe is not a person; it cannot be murdered.
