Founded in 2016 under the name Southern Oregon Rising Tide, the direct action climate justice group was a key player in the yearslong battle to stop the Jordan Cove Energy Project, a 229-mile natural gas pipeline that threatened to be the largest single emitter of greenhouse gasses in Oregon.Alongside a coalition of environmental and Indigenous groups, Siskiyou Rising Tide faced major police counterinsurgency efforts, including aggressive monitoring funded by Pembina Pipeline Corporation, the Canadian fossil fuel company behind the project.

Al Jazeera Censors Video of Critic Who Said Saudi-Israel Normalization Would Be “Suicide” for MBS

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:22:36 GMT

Al Jazeera English quietly removed an episode of its current affairs show from YouTube, in which one guest said it would be political “suicide” for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to normalize relations with Israel amid its war on Gaza. “He would not probably survive as the future king of Saudi Arabia, if he goes ahead and normalizes in this context of war,” said Madawi Al-Rasheed, a visiting professor at the London School of Economics’ Middle East Center, during an interview last week on Al Jazeera English’s “UpFront.” She was invited onto the show, hosted by Marc Lamont Hill, to discuss the risks of escalation in the Middle East amid Israel’s ongoing siege and bombing campaign of Gaza. Al Jazeera English posted the episode online and promoted it on social media, directing users to watch it on YouTube (such tweets are still live). The YouTube link, however, no longer works; the video is marked as “unavailable” and “private.” The episode no longer ...

BOGOTÁ, Colombia — Las autoridades colombianas capturaron y procesaron a tres personas señaladas de participar en una banda dedicada al tráfico de migrantes y al fraude de documentos para obtener visas de Estados Unidos.La Fiscalía señaló este miércoles en un comunicado que los capturados serían integrantes de la banda “Los Hunters”, dedicados a falsificar historias clínicas y otros documentos que simulaban enfermedades de alto costo que requerían un tratamiento médico urgente en Estados Unidos y así lograr adelantar citas en la embajada americana que estaban agendadas para 2027.El fraude de documentos, por un costo de hasta 3,000 dólares, incluía extractos bancarios y certificaciones financieras que hacían creer que los solicitantes de visa tenían la capacidad económica necesaria para financiar su tratamiento médico, lo que habría “inducido en error a los funcionarios de la embajada de Estados Unidos en Colombia, que aprobaban las visas”, detalló la Fiscalía.

GOP’s David Owen wins Virginia legislative race over Democratic opponent who livestreamed sex videos

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:22:36 GMT

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Republican David Owen defeated Democrat Susanna Gibson in a Virginia House of Delegates race that drew attention after revelations that Gibson engaged in sex acts with her husband on a pornographic website.Gibson ran against Owen in one of the state’s most competitive districts after all 100 seats in the House of Delegates were redrawn to conform with the 2020 Census. Many political scientists said Gibson’s chances in Tuesday’s election were doomed after news outlets reported in September about Gibson’s participation in livestreamed sex, which included soliciting payments from viewers in exchange for specific acts.But Gibson, a nurse practitioner, refused to withdraw from the race, and accused Republicans of dirty politics for exposing her conduct. She largely ignored the allegations and, like other Democrats statewide, focused on abortion rights. Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin has been seeking a ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exc...
