You already know this story. You’ve seen it play out dozens of times. A journalist shows up with a camera. Someone with a badge decides they don’t like what’s being recorded. The camera gets confiscated or damaged, the journalist gets shoved, the credential gets yanked. Welcome to covering protests in the United States.

More than 50 per cent of people in prison are estimated to be affected by problematic substance use — yet prison authorities across the country are increasingly restricting access to a key, evidence-based treatment option, resulting in a dramatic drop in people receiving this care.

Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT) is a medication used to treat opioid use disorder. It provides a stable, regulated dose that aims to prevent withdrawal and reduce cravings. Decades of research have shown that people receiving OAT experience substantially lower rates of fatal drug toxicity and other health complications.

But for it to properly work, OAT must be low barrier, compassionate and individualized. In general, methadone, buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) and injectable buprenorphine (Sublocade) are all considered first-line OAT options. They are not interchangeable. Abrupt discontinuation increases the risk of overdose, and changes in treatment require careful clinical oversight to avoid destabilization and other harms.

Venezuela’s interim leader, Delcy Rodríguez, has declared a state of emergency after the country was struck by two powerful earthquakes that collapsed dozens of buildings and killed at least 164 people, a toll that it is feared could rise significantly.

Rodríguez said 971 people were injured and more casualties were expected. The two strong earthquakes hit within a minute of each other shortly after 6pm local time on Wednesday. The first had a magnitude of 7.2 and the second 7.5, the most powerful to strike the country since 1900, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

For years, a tacit distinction has been drawn in everyday Indian discourse between "good Muslims" and "bad Muslims". This distinction manifests openly—whether in the media, political rhetoric, or the evolving portrayal of Muslims in cinema. It is also frequently observed within the culture of society at large and among liberal-secular circles, where a selective narrative regarding "good" versus "bad" Muslims repeatedly surfaces.

Libya, once a regional powerhouse, has become a battleground for foreign interests. Khalifa Haftar, profits from allowing foreign actors to use the territory under his control for military operations.

Following the overthrow of Muammar al-Gaddafi in 2011 and the civil war that erupted afterwards, Libya has experienced economic and political instability and persistent internal fragmentation. Today, the country is effectively divided between two main power centres: the internationally recognized Government of National Unity (GNU) in Tripoli in the west, supported by the EU and Turkey and forces in eastern Libya under the command of Khalifa Haftar, backed by the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Russia.

What can today’s rebels learn from the Stonewall riots? Why did the uprising have such an impact? To answer these questions, we explore the previously unacknowledged significance of anarchists in the rebellion and the movements that emerged from it. Along the way, we trace a queer genealogy of anarchist organizing methods in North America from the Stonewall Uprising through the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 to today.

I recently took an embroidery class and this site has been a great reference.

To understand why five California families took their fight against segregated schools to court in the 1940s, picture the buildings reserved for their children’s learning.

At that time in rural Orange County, just south of Los Angeles, school officials ordered Mexican-American children into environments that weren’t designed for education. Their studies took place in converted cattle sheds or horse stables covered in dirt and reeking of manure. Instead of new textbooks with glossy pages and fresh ink, they learned from the torn and tattered primers White schools had discarded.

Outraged by the prospect of their children continuing their education in ramshackle schoolhouses, five families — the Mendezes, Ramirezes, Guzmans, Estradas and Palominos — decided to act.

One of Canada’s largest oil and gas companies may ask for “extensions or exemptions” to British Columbia’s environmental regulations.

A recent B.C. lobbying registration from Paramount Resources said the company may be seeking regulatory relief for “well and pipeline dormancy and shutdown.”

Normally, B.C. energy regulations require companies to deactivate and clean dormant wells and pipelines within a fixed period of time to protect nearby people and the environment from potential contamination.

However, the B.C. Energy Regulator, or BCER, can temporarily exempt such companies from those requirements.

The arachnid species found in the Columbia River Gorge was given the Indigenous name ‘Tulishpun’ alongside its scientific name ‘Trogloraptor’

Messages reading “MOSCOW WILL BURN” appeared in the Telegram channel of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin on the evening of June 21, along with links to fundraisers for Ukrainian military drones.

This is my first attempt at making my own pattern.
