Some Rohingya are trapped on the beach in Burma, with no path to flee.

Countries other than the US are foolishly proceeding with the TPP or Pacific Partnership Trance.

They have tentatively dropped the chapter that bears the incoherent label of "intellectual property", but they have kept many other harmful rules, worst of all the ISDS ("I Sue Democratic States") provision that gives foreign companies more rights than citizens.

If you are a citizen of New Zealand, please agitate against signing the TPP as long as it contains ISDS.

The EFF article encourages the confusion of the term "intellectual property" by using it as if it had a coherent meaning. Please take care not to do that.

Jared Kushner told Congress that he did not know of any meetings between the bully's campaign and Russians. This was false.

California prisons were sued and agreed to end long-term solitary confinement, but they have invented new pretexts for it.

The troll has decided to label North Korea as a "state sponsor of terrorism."

Since the US already has almost total sanctions against North Korea, I think this is merely an act of name-calling.

It's also untrue. The assassination of Kim Jong-Nam was not terrorism, as the word is properly understood, because it was not meant as an act of political pressure. It was simply murder. The kidnapping of an unknown number of Japanese people to force them to teach Japanese was not terrorism; it was simply kidnaping.

Do we need to strain to call them "terrorism"? Aren't murder and kidnaping bad enough by themselves?
