October 2003 following USA's and UK's Iraq invasion San Francisco professor Stephen Zunes' review of USA's 1983 Grenada invasion: October 2003: This 1983 invasion of Grenada was 'an easy victory for the United States eight years after its defeat in the Vietnam War and just two days after the deadly attack against U.S. forces in Lebanon. It established the precedent for 'regime change' by U.S. military intervention and served as an ominous warning to the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua that the Reagan administration could go beyond simply arming a proxy army like the Contras and actually invade their country outright. It also led to a sudden rise in President Reagan's popularity, according to public opinion polls. Despite the fact that the invasion was a clear violation of international law, there was widespread bipartisan support for the invasion, including such Democratic Party leaders as Walter Mondale, who would be Reagan's Democratic challenger for the presidency the following year, Review by Stephen Zunes, an associate professor of politics and chair of the Peace&Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco, and serves as the Middle East editor for the 'Foreign Policy in Focus Project'

Green Party of the USA: The Green Party of the United States of America is a federation of Green state political parties. The party promotes green politics, specifically environmentalism, nonviolence, social justice, participatory democracy, grassroots democracy, anti-war and anti-racism. As of 2023, it is the fourth-largest political party in the USA by voter registration, behind the Libertarian Party. The direct predecessor of the GPUS was the Association of State Green Parties. In the late 1990s, the ASGP, which formed in 1996, had increasingly distanced itself from the Greens/Green Party USA, America's then-primary green organization which had formed in 1991 out of the Green Committees of Correspondence, a collection of local green groups active since 1984. In 2001, the GPUS was officially founded as the ASGP split from the G/GPUSA. After its founding, the GPUS soon became the primary national green organization in the country, surpassing the G/GPUSA. John Rensenbrink and Howie Hawkins were co-founders of the Green Party. The Greens (as ASGP) first gained widespread public attention during the 2000 presidential election, when the ticket composed of Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke won 2.7% of the popular vote, raising questions as to whether they spoiled the election in favor of George W. Bush. Nader has dismissed the notion that he and other Green candidates are spoilers.

Team's victory marks a major defeat for Amazon, which had fiercely fought against unionisation, but in Alabama, where Amazon was facing a separate union drive, the company appeared to have fended off activists in a tight contest in which challenged ballots could yet overturn that result. Together, the two elections mark a milestone for activists, who have long decried labour practices at the country's second largest employer.

2021–2022 inflation surge: 2021–2022 inflation surge, after the worldwide increase in inflation began in mid-2021, with many countries seeing their highest inflation rates in decades. It has been attributed to various causes, including pandemic-related economic dislocation and the fiscal and monetary response to it in 2020 and 2021, supply shortages (including chip shortages and energy shortages) amid increasing consumer demand, the effect on global oil prices caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine; and possible price gouging. Higher gasoline prices were a major contributor to inflation as oil producers saw record profits, and debate arose over whether inflationary pressures were transitory or persistent. Central banks responded by aggressively increasing interest rates. In August 2022 the USA reported an inflation rate of 8.2%, following rates of 1.2% and 4.7% in 2020, 2021.

6 August 2024 Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential pick Tim Walz is a smart choice for Democrats: 6 August 2024: Kamala Harris’s own ascension to the top of the ticket has shone a brighter spotlight than usual on the Democrats’ choice of vice-presidential nominee, underlining why the second slot on the ticket matters. The impact of the running mate is usually limited unless they prove extraordinarily popular or unpopular. Growing concerns about the state of the USA economy are likely to be far more consequential.

Originally from rural Nebraska, he is a former teacher and high school football coach who served in the army national guard for 24 years. As governor he has overseen – with Minnesota’s Democratic legislature – progressive policies including free school meals, abortion protections, pro-worker policies and gun restrictions.

16 July 2021 don't call me 'Middle Eastern', immigrant from Lebanon says: 16 July 2021: Don't Call Me 'Middle Eastern', Louay Khraish responds on his first day of high school in the USA after moving from Lebanon, as the administrator asked to fill out a form and identify as either Asian, Black, Hispanic, Native American or White Caucasian. But his answer 'Asian' was rejected and replaced by 'White Caucasian'. After after 9/11 and following wars and more immigrants arriving from Asia and North Africa people of Arab, Armenian, Assyrian, Circassian, Iranian, Kurdish, Syriac and Turkish descent were finding themselves unsure which race box to check. Coming from the original melting pot of the world, they are not accustomed to identifying themselves by skin color. Wanting to include a vast region that stretches from Iran to Morocco and from Armenia to Sudan, West Asia - North Africa (shortly WANA) is the best option. The term 'Middle East' should be rejected once and for all. Calling the affected people West Asian-Americans and North African-Americans, we all should also advocate for the cessation of the use of the word 'White', the crown jewel of systemic racism in America.

In the 1950s early USA space flight and NASA: In the 1950s early USA space flight, as Huntsville city was nicknamed 'The Rocket City' for its close association with space missions. Following Soviet Union's October 1957 first artificial Earth satellite 'Sputnik 1' mission, on 31 January 1958, ABMA placed USA's first satellite Explorer 1, into orbit using a Jupiter-C launch vehicle, a descendant of the Redstone. This brought national attention to Redstone Arsenal and Huntsville, with widespread recognition of this being a major center for high technology. On 1 July 1 1960 4,670 civilian employees, associated buildings and equipment, and 1,840 acres of land, transferred from ABMA to form NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. During the 1960s, the major mission of MSFC was in developing the Saturn boosters used by NASA in the Apollo Lunar Landing Program. For this, MSFC greatly increased its employees, and many new companies joined the Huntsville industrial community. The Cummings Research Park was developed just north of Redstone Arsenal to partially accommodate this industrial growth, and has now become the second-largest research park of this type in the USA.
Since 2014 NASA's Planetary Missions Program Office: Since 2014 Planetary Missions Program Office, a division of NASA headquartered at the Marshall Space Flight Center. - 2021-2022 'Double Asteroid Redirection Test DART', a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects. It was designed to assess how much a spacecraft impact deflects an asteroid through a transfer of momentum by hitting the asteroid head on and attempting to slow it. The asteroid selected for the test poses no actual threat to Earth. The probe was launched from Earth on 24 November 2021, and on 26 September 2022 intentionally crashed into Dimorphos, the minor-planet moon of the asteroid Didymos. On 11 October, NASA declared DART a success, confirming it had shortened Dimorphos' orbital period by about 32 minutes, surpassing the success threshold of 73 seconds.
11 October 2022 DART changed trajectory of asteroid Dimorphos, a watershed moment for planetary defense: 11 de octubre de 2022: El impacto de DART cambió el movimiento de un asteroide en el espacio. 'Todos nosotros tenemos la responsabilidad de proteger nuestro planeta de origen. Al fin y al cabo, es el único que tenemos', dijo el administrador de la NASA, Bill Nelson. 'Esta misión muestra que la NASA se está intentando preparar para cualquier cosa que el universo nos depare. En la NASA hemos demostrado que nos tomamos en serio nuestro papel como defensores del planeta. Este es un momento decisivo para la defensa planetaria y para toda la humanidad, lo que demuestra el compromiso del excepcional equipo de la NASA y sus socios de todo el mundo'. - 12 October 2022: 'DART' successfully changed the trajectory of the asteroid Dimorphos when the NASA spacecraft intentionally slammed into the space rock on September 26, the world’s first conducted on behalf of planetary defense.

After all, it’s the only one we have', said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, adding 'NASA has proven we are serious as a defender of the planet. This is a watershed moment for planetary defense and all of humanity, demonstrating commitment from NASA’s exceptional team and partners from around the world'.

2 April 2022 Amazon workers win battle to form first USA union: 2 April 2022: A team of Amazon workers - led by Chris Smalls, champion against inadequate, hazardous safety conditions at the retail giant during covid-19 - has forced the technology giant to recognise a trade union in the USA for the first time as workers at a New York warehouse voted 55% in favour of joining the Amazon Labor Union. Team's victory marks a major defeat for Amazon, which had fiercely fought against unionisation, but in Alabama, where Amazon was facing a separate union drive, the company appeared to have fended off activists in a tight contest in which challenged ballots could yet overturn that result. Together, the two elections mark a milestone for activists, who have long decried labour practices at the country's second largest employer.

History of Salinas city: History of Salinas city, located on land inhabited, settled and owned by Native Americans known as the Esselen prior to 200 AD. Between 200 and 500 AD, they were displaced by the Rumsen group of Ohlone speaking people. The Rumsen-Ohlone remained as the inhabitants of the area for approximately another 1,200 years, and in the 1700s the group of native inhabitants were contacted and recorded to Europe by foreigners, the first Spanish explorers of the Salinas area. Manila galleons may have occasionally ventured up the California coastline and stopped in Monterey Bay between 1602 and 1769. Upon the arrival of the Spanish - formerly themselves colonized by the 'Imperium Romanum', large Spanish land 'grants' were initially issued for the Catholic Missions and also as bonuses to soldiers. Later on after Mexican independence, smaller land grants continued to be issued for ranchos where mostly cattle were grazed. One of the many land grants was the Rancho Las Salinas land grant, part of which included the area of modern-day Salinas. As a result of the many new cattle ranches, a thriving trade eventually developed in cattle hide shipments, shipping primarily out of the Port of Monterey. In 1848 California officially became a part of the USA. This transition followed several years of battles in the Salinas area with John Fremont flying the American flag on the highest peak of the Gabilan Mountains and claiming California for the USA. Before the transition to another foreign administration, Monterey had been the capital of California. For a short while after the transition, California was ruled by 'martial law', originating in Europe.
'Tirus ua corx' or 'Carmel River': 'Carmel River' (in Rumsen language 'tirus ua corx') is a 66km river in Monterey County that originates in the Ventana Wilderness of the Santa Lucia Mountains. The river flows northwest through the Carmel Valley with its mouth at the Pacific Ocean south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, at Carmel Bay - Ecology of Carmel river region, that flows through various habitats beyond its bankside riparian zon, starting in mixed evergreen forests at higher elevations, including coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), Coast Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) and rare Santa Lucia firs (Abies bracteata) the most endemic fir in North America. At middle elevations the Carmel River flows down through montane chaparral and woodlands, and at lower elevations, to remnant coastal sage and chaparral and coastal prairie, concluding through minor coastal sand dunes at its Pacific mouth.

1846-1939 Ohlone ethnologist Isabel Meadows in the Carmel Valley: Born on 7 July 1846 in the Carmel Valley, Ohlone ethnologist Isabel Meadows was the known last fluent speaker of the Rumsen Ohlone language. She worked closely with the anthropologists from the Smithsonian Institution J. P. Harrington, shared her knowledge of her tribe's culture and languages in the Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur regions of California, in order to document her culture and language, as her work is considered fundamental in the study of Ohlone languages.

1848-1855 'California Gold Rush', Native American population's decline from disease, starvation, California Genocide: 1848-1855 California Gold Rush that began in January 1848, when gold was found at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, bringing about 300,000 people to California from the rest of USA's east and abroad, as the sudden influx of gold into the money supply reinvigorated the economy, and the sudden population increase allowed California to go rapidly to statehood in 1850, having severe effects on region's Native people and accelerating the Native American population's decline from disease, starvation and the California Genocide

Origin of people rushing to the goldfields since 1848: By the beginning of 1849, word of the 'Gold Rush' had spread around the world, and an overwhelming number of gold-seekers and merchants began to arrive from virtually every continent. So-called 'forty-niners' came from Latin America, then gold-seekers and merchants came from Asia, primarily from China, arriving in 1849 at first in modest numbers to 'Gum San', the name given to California in Chinese. The first immigrants from Europe, reeling from the effects of the Revolutions of 1848 and with a longer distance to travel, began arriving in late 1849, mostly from France, with some Germans, Italians, and Britons. It is estimated that approximately 90,000 people arrived in California in 1849, about half by land and half by sea. By 1855, it is estimated at least 300,000 gold-seekers, merchants, and other immigrants had arrived in California from around the world. The largest group continued to be USA citizens, but there were tens of thousands each of Mexicans, Chinese, Britons, Australians, French, Latin Americans, together with many smaller groups of miners, such as African Americans, Filipinos, Basques and Turks. People from small villages in the hills near Genova, Italy were among the first to settle permanently in the Sierra Nevada foothills. They brought with them traditional agricultural skills, developed to survive cold winters. A modest number of miners of African ancestry had come from the Southern States, the Caribbean and Brazil. Several hundred Chinese arrived in California in 1849 and 1850, and in 1852 more than 20,000 landed in San Francisco.
Regional and global effects of the 1848-1855 'California Gold Rush': Since 1850s arrival of hundreds of thousands of new people in California within a few years, compared to a population of some 15,000 Europeans and Californios beforehand, had many dramatic effects, including a boom in transportation-goods investment in the USA, USA's population, government, commerce, leading to statehood for California on 9 September 1850, growth of population between 1847 and 1870, as e.g. the population of San Francisco increased from 500 to 150,000, as the Gold Rush wealth and population increase led to significantly improved transportation between California and the East Coast, further including on the one hand the fate of Native Americans (the California genocide and unfree labor in California), and on the other hand a world-wide economic stimulation, and more effects - 1858-1861 Pike's Peak Gold Rush or 'Colorado Gold Rush', the boom in gold prospecting and mining in the Pike's Peak Country of western Kansas and southwestern Nebraska that began in July 1858 and lasted until roughly the creation of the Colorado Territory in February 1861. An estimated 100,000 gold seekers took part in one of the greatest gold rushes in North American history

Shasta Cascade region in the northeastern and north-central sections of California: Shasta Cascade region of California is located in the northeastern and north-central sections of the state bordering Oregon and Nevada, including far northern parts of the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountain range, as historically the Shasta Cascade region was home to Native Americans of the Modoc, Maidu, Okwanuchu, Paiute, Shasta, Wintu, and Yana tribes, and sub-groups of those tribes. The first non-Native Americans entered the Shasta Cascade region by coming south along the Siskiyou Trail from Oregon, or north along the Siskiyou Trail from central California or the San Francisco Bay Area. These earliest explorers were probably British and American fur-trappers and traders in the 1820s and 1830s, followed by the 1848-1855 California Gold Rush-era leading to the first non-Native American settlements in the area.

Commercially, this second-largest estuary in California is the site of the largest oyster production operations on the West Coast, producing more than half of all oysters farmed in California. The Port of Humboldt Bay (Port of Eureka) is a deep water port with harbor facilities, including large industrial docks at Fairhaven, Samoa, and Fields Landing, designed to serve cargo and other vessels. Beginning in the 1850s, the bay was used extensively to export logs and forest products as part of the historic West coast lumber trade, but lumber is now infrequently shipped from the port.

The Wiyot Tribe in the 21st century is located in California's Loleta town, where European settlement began in the early 1850s although Wiyot people had inhabited the area for generations. Potato farming was the biggest agricultural use of land until the 1870s, when depleted soil and declining prices caused a turn to dairying. Since European invasion known as Swauger or Swauger's Station for local 'landowner' Samuel A. Swauger, the town was renamed Loleta in 1897, reportedly to meaning 'pleasant place at the end of the tide water' in the language of the original Wiyot native Americans.

Klamath River and basin, the second largest in California by average discharge: Klamath Basin, the region in Oregon and California drained by the Klamath River. It contains most of Klamath County and parts of Lake and Jackson counties in Oregon, and parts of Del Norte, Humboldt, Modoc, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties in California. - The Klamath River, the Klamath is the second largest river in California after the Sacramento River by average discharge. It drains an extensive watershed of almost 41,000 km2 that stretches from the arid country of south-central Oregon to the temperate rainforest of the Pacific coast. The Klamath is the most important North American river south of the Columbia River for anadromous fish migration. Its salmon, steelhead and rainbow trout have adapted to unusually high water temperatures and acidity levels relative to other rivers in the Pacific Northwest. The numerous fish were a major source of food for Native Americans, who have inhabited the basin for at least 7,000 years. - Tributaries of the Klamath River
Klamath River Basin, native Americans in the 21st century: Klamath River Basin native Americans in the 21st century, as th river tribes include the Klamath, Yurok, Karuk, Hupa, and Shasta people. The movement of forced creation of reservations in the emerging USA resulted in the loss of culturally, ecologically, and economically significant land of indigenous peoples. While many of them are federally recognized sovereign nations, they are still fighting to reclaim the land and resources that were taken from them. The Klamath River tribes mission statements include the preservation of their cultural heritage along with their land and the resources it provides. The Klamath River basin tribes are deeply connected and entwined with their land. The Klamath river, the food it provides and the spiritual significance it holds, is centrally situated in the identities of all four tribes that live along the Klamath. - 'Klamath' spoken around Klamath Lake in what is now southern Oregon and northern California, is a member of the Plateau Penutian language family, which is in turn a branch of the proposed Penutian language family, rich in ablaut, much like Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages. As of 2019, revitalization efforts are underway with the goal of creating new speakers.

Since 11 November 1921 'Inter-Allied Poppy Day’, made by WWI widows and orphans/women and children: In 1921 Madame Guérin started with an ‘Inter-Allied Poppy Day’ idea. After taking her idea to Field Marshal Douglas Haig and the British Legion, Madame Guérin’s poppies - made by the widows and orphans/women and children of the devastated areas of France - were distributed on British streets on 11 November 1921, on the country’s first Poppy Day - The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower inspired by the 20th century war poem 'In Flanders Fields'. They were first used near the end of World War I to commemorate British Empire and USA military casualties of the war. Madame Guérin established the first 'Poppy Days' to raise funds for veterans, widows, orphans, liberty bonds, and charities such as the Red Cross. Today, the remembrance poppy is mainly used in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, where it has been trademarked by veterans' associations for fundraising. In these countries, small remembrance poppies are often worn on clothing leading up to Remembrance Day/Armistice Day, and poppy wreaths are often laid at war memorials. In Australia and New Zealand, they are also worn on Anzac Day.

Utah: Utah, a landlocked state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States. It is bordered to its east by Colorado, to its northeast by Wyoming, to its north by Idaho, to its south by Arizona, and to its west by Nevada. Utah also touches a corner of New Mexico in the southeast. Of the fifty USA states, Utah is the 13th-largest by area with a population over three million.
History of Utah until early modern age: History of Utah, an examination of the human history and social activity within the territory of Utah, as archaeological evidence dates the earliest habitation of humans to about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Paleolithic people lived near the Great Basin's swamps and marshes, which had an abundance of fish, birds, and small game animals. Big game, including bison, mammoths and ground sloths, also were attracted to these water sources. Over the centuries, the mega-fauna died, this population was replaced by the Desert Archaic people, who sheltered in caves near the Great Salt Lake. Relying more on gathering than the previous Utah residents, their diet was mainly composed of cattails and other salt tolerant plants such as pickleweed, burro weed and sedge. Red meat appears to have been more of a luxury, although these people used nets and the atlatl to hunt water fowl, ducks, small animals and antelope. Artifacts include nets woven with plant fibers and rabbit skin, woven sandals, gaming sticks, and animal figures made from split-twigs. About 3,500 years ago, lake levels rose and the population of Desert Archaic people appears to have dramatically decreased. The Great Basin may have been almost unoccupied for 1,000 years. The Fremont culture, named from sites near the Fremont River in Utah, lived in what is now north and western Utah and parts of Nevada, Idaho and Colorado from approximately 600 to 1300 AD. These people lived in areas close to water sources that had been previously occupied by the Desert Archaic people, and may have had some relationship with them. However, their use of new technologies define them as a distinct people. Fremont technologies include use of the bow and arrow while hunting, building pithouse shelters, growing maize and probably beans and squash, building above ground granaries of adobe or stone, creating and decorating low-fired pottery ware, producing art, including jewelry and rock art such as petroglyphs and pictographs. The ancient Puebloan culture, also known as the Anasazi, occupied territory adjacent to the Fremont. The ancestral Puebloan culture centered on the present-day 'Four Corners' area of the southwest USA, including the San Juan River region of Utah. Archaeologists debate when this distinct culture emerged, but cultural development seems to date from about the common era, about 500 years before the Fremont appeared. It is generally accepted that the cultural peak of these people was around the 1200 CE. Ancient Puebloan culture is known for well constructed pithouses and more elaborate adobe and masonry dwellings. They were excellent craftsmen, producing turquoise jewelry and fine pottery. The Puebloan culture was based on agriculture, and the people created and cultivated fields of maize, beans, and squash and domesticated turkeys. The two well established Fremont and Puebloan cultures appear to have been severely impacted by climatic change and perhaps by the incursion of new people in about 1200 CE. Over the next two centuries, the Fremont and ancient Pueblo people may have moved into the American southwest, finding new homes and farmlands in the river drainages of Arizona, New Mexico and northern Mexico. In about 1200, Shoshonean speaking peoples entered Utah territory from the west. At the time of European expansion, beginning with Spanish explorers traveling from Mexico, five distinct native peoples occupied territory within the Utah area: the Northern Shoshone, the Goshute, the Ute, the Paiute and the Navajo.

Demographics of Kenosha: Demographics of Kenosha - As Paleo-Indians settled in the Wisconsin area at least 13,500 years ago, in the 19th century the Potawatomi people was the main Native American people of the western Great Lakes region, upper Mississippi River and Great Plains. They traditionally speak the Potawatomi language, a member of the Algonquin family. The Potawatomi call themselves Neshnabé, as the Potawatomi are part of a long-term alliance, called the Council of Three Fires, with the Ojibway and Odawa (Ottawa). In the Council of Three Fires, the Potawatomi are considered the 'youngest brother' and are referred to in this context as Bodwéwadmi, a name that means 'keepers of the fire' and refers to the council fire of three peoples. In the 19th century, they were pushed to the west by European/American encroachment in the late 18th century and removed from their lands in the Great Lakes region to reservations in Oklahoma. Under Indian Removal, they eventually ceded many of their lands, and most of the Potawatomi relocated to Nebraska, Kansas, and Indian Territory, now in Oklahoma. Some bands survived in the Great Lakes region and today are federally recognized as tribes. In Canada, over 600 First Nation governments or bands are recognized.

Since 1841 New-York Tribune/New-York Daily Tribune: Since 1841 New-York Tribune/New-York Daily Tribune, from the 1840s through the 1860s the dominant newspaper first of the American Whig Party, then of the Republican Party. The paper achieved a circulation of approximately 200,000 in the 1850s, making it the largest daily paper in New York City at the time. The Tribune's editorials were widely read, shared, and copied in other city newspapers, helping to shape national opinion. It was one of the first papers in the north to send reporters, correspondents, and illustrators to cover the campaigns of the American Civil War. It continued as an independent daily newspaper until 1924, when it merged with the New York Herald. The resulting New York Herald Tribune remained in publication until 1966. Since foundation Tribune's editor and publisher Greeley sponsored a host of reforms, including pacifism and feminism and especially the ideal of the hardworking free laborer. Greeley demanded reforms to make all citizens free and equal. He envisioned virtuous citizens who would eradicate corruption. To promote multiple reforms, Greeley hired a roster of writers who later became famous in their own right, including Margaret Fuller, Charles Anderson Dana, George William Curtis, William Henry Fry, Bayard Taylor, George Ripley, Julius Chambers, and Henry Jarvis Raymond, who later co-founded The New York Times. In 1852-62, the paper retained Karl Marx as its London-based European correspondent. Friedrich Engels also submitted articles under Marx's by-line. Marx resented much of his time working for the Tribune, particularly the many edits and deadlines they imposed upon him, and bemoaned the 'excessive fragmentation of [his] studies'.

2 September 2021 'why won’t US TV news say climate change?' the British 'Guardian' and Mark Hertsgaard ask: 2 September 2021: The climate emergency is exploding in various parts of the world in the summer 2021, but climate silence inexcusably continues to reign in much of the USA media, as Hurricane Ida has left more than a million people in Louisiana without running water, electricity, or air conditioning amid a heat index topping 100F, as the Caldor fire destroyed hundreds of houses and forced mass evacuations around Lake Tahoe in California, as abroad, vast swaths of Siberia were ablaze while drought-parched Madagascar suffered what a UN official called the first famine caused entirely by climate change, as Europe suffered never experienced raid-like floods by very heavy rainfalls as it happened recently in Tennessee, and as painstaking scientific research has established that the climate crisis fuels these kinds of extreme weather, and people must now experience and can watch globally the emergency unfold in real time on their TV and cell phone screens. They give the answer: 'Scientifically accurate reporting would not only link this extreme weather to the climate crisis, it would note that climate change is caused primarily by burning oil, gas, and coal. ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel companies have been lying for 40 years about their products causing dangerous climate change. Responsible journalism should tell the truth about what’s driving these terrible storms, fires, and famine.'

Hollywood's working conditions and unions: Due to the casual nature of employment in Hollywood, it is only through collective bargaining can individual workers express their rights to minimum wage guarantees and access to pension and health plans. While the role of labor in America has waned in many parts of the country, the unions have maintained a firm grip in Hollywood since their start during Great Depression when workers would line up outside the thriving movie studios looking for the only job in town. Terrible conditions awaited those workers as the studios exploited the eager workforce with meager pay and the ever present threat of the hundreds of others waiting just outside the gates to take their place if they voiced any complaints. The majority of the workers in Hollywood are represented by several unions and guilds. The 150,000 member-strong IATSE represents most of the crafts, such as the grips, electricians, and camera people, as well as editors, sound engineers, and hair & make-up artists. The SAG represents some 130,000 actors and performers, the DGA represents directors and production managers, the WGA represents writers, and the IBT represents the drivers.

1915-2021 how racist propaganda inspired riots in USA's biggest cities, a 'Guardian' review in new times of crises: 21 August 2021: In 1915 the president, Woodrow Wilson, screened the movie 'Birth of a Nation' at the White House – a film that depicts Black men as brutal people who desire white women. Meanwhile white supremacist groups were writing school curriculums and news media were painting Black men as animalistic beings who attacked white women. This set the scene for a week of racial violence targeting Black Americans in 1919, during which two American cities were left in chaos. In Chicago it started with a Black man drowning after white people throw stones at him at a beach for infringing on their space. It led to a confrontation between Black and white citizens, and escalated into white mobs going into Black communities to burn down homes and kill Black people. In Washington DC it started with a minor argument that turned into rape allegations against two Black men, which prompted white mobs to attack Black people in restaurants, trolleys and in their communities. Dozens of Black people were killed during these riots, and few were held accountable

History of Grenada: History of Grenada in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles group of islands, covering a period from the earliest human settlements by indigenous peoples, later inhabited by the Caribs, as British colonists killed most of the Caribs on the island establishing plantations on the island, eventually importing African slaves to work on the sugar plantations for profit and the expanding British empire, as - in the 18th century - the control of the island was disputed by Great Britain and France, with the British ultimately prevailing. In 1795 Fédon's Rebellion, inspired by the Haitian Revolution, very nearly succeeded, taking significant military intervention to quell, as slavery was abolished in 1833 following early 19th-century Latin American revolutions and revolutionary wars against European colonial rule (called 'Spanish American wars of independence by the interested British), and in 1885, the island's capital, St. George's, became the capital of the British Windward Islands, as Grenada finally achieved independence from the 'UK' in 1974, as then - following a political and social change by the 'Marxist New Jewel Movement' in 1979 - the island was invaded by the equally interested - namely experienced in the precipitation of emancipatory movements in Latin America - USA troops, and the government was overthrown in a tricky but violent way - Lateinamerika als 'Hinterhof' der USA seit dem 18.

October 2003 following USA's and UK's Iraq invasion San Francisco professor Stephen Zunes' review of USA's 1983 Grenada invasion: October 2003: This 1983 invasion of Grenada was 'an easy victory for the United States eight years after its defeat in the Vietnam War and just two days after the deadly attack against U.S. forces in Lebanon. It established the precedent for 'regime change' by U.S. military intervention and served as an ominous warning to the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua that the Reagan administration could go beyond simply arming a proxy army like the Contras and actually invade their country outright. It also led to a sudden rise in President Reagan's popularity, according to public opinion polls. Despite the fact that the invasion was a clear violation of international law, there was widespread bipartisan support for the invasion, including such Democratic Party leaders as Walter Mondale, who would be Reagan's Democratic challenger for the presidency the following year, Review by Stephen Zunes, an associate professor of politics and chair of the Peace&Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco, and serves as the Middle East editor for the 'Foreign Policy in Focus Project'

Hilary quickly strengthened into a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 235 km/h and a minimum central pressure of 939 millibars. In anticipation of 'catastrophic and life-threatening flooding', the NHC issued a tropical storm warning for California, extending from the Mexico–USA border to just north of Los Angeles. Forecasting persistent heavy rainfall, potentially 'more than a year’s worth of rain' in some areas, flood watches were issued, affecting about 26 million people in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah, and the entire region was placed under a high risk threat for flash flooding.

24 December 2022 USA's 2022 winter storm brings blizzards, freezing rain, flooding and intense cold close to record lows: 24 December 2022: USA's 2022 winter storm enveloped much of the USA on Saturday, bringing blizzards, freezing rain, flooding and intense cold close to record lows. More than a dozen deaths were attributed to the storm with holiday travel and utilities disrupted for millions. Forecasters said the weather system was caused by a collision of cold, dry air from the north and warm, moist air from the south. Although meteorologists are wary of assigning any individual weather event to climate change, a wobble in the jet stream induced by climate change conforms to previous extreme weather events, both hot and cold. As the system pushed as far south as Texas, many faced the coldest Christmas Eve for decades. The storm, named Elliott, downed power lines, littered highways with accidents, led to mass flight cancellations, and was nearly unprecedented in scope, stretching 2,000 miles from the Great Lakes near Canada to the Rio Grande along the Mexico borde, 'The Guardian' reports with live updates
