The US immigration thugs are now rampaging against refugees from Vietnam, imprisoning them for deportation even though, by treaty, the US cannot deport them.

Isolation for 23 hours a day is brainwashing treatment, and unacceptable for more than a short period even for criminals serving prison sentences. It is certainly not acceptable to treat people that way who are merely awaiting deportation.

Holding these people far away from their families, and stopping them from touching their families, are also inexcusable.

It appears that Rep. Nunes in the House Intelligence Committee leaked communications of the Senate Intelligence Committee to cause trouble for it.

Russian trolls supported pipeline protests, as well as fossil fuel advocates. SCROTUS want to hold this against the former but not against the latter.

News publishers have become dangerously dependent on Facebook, and the proof of just how dependent they are is that when Facebook separated news from personal postings the publishers call it "Orwellian".

What's Orwellian is this dependence.

Beware of the fools that reject the idea that there is such a thing as nature (or physical laws), and believe humans can manage the whole ecosphere.

I don't think humans could manage all life on Earth with our current abilities, even with complete good will. Even managing Biosphere II proved to be too difficult.

In practice, this plan would be an excuse to discard all fixed limits, so that the rich could plunder as they wish, while promising that some unspecified clever scheme would fix up the damage. Then it would become known that they never had a specific clever scheme at all, and the damage is irreparable.
