But now some within the groups are rebelling against those messages, sharply dividing the ranks. "There have to be alternative methods, and the U.S. claim that the only choice is armed war is a lie," said Kristin Dooley, director of Minneapolis-based...

WASHINGTON - With just two days to spare, President Joe Biden signed legislation on Saturday that lifts the nation's debt ceiling, averting an unprecedented default on the federal government's debt. It was a decidedly low-key denouement to a monthslong drama that unnerved financial markets at home and abroad and caused anxious retirees and social service organizations to make contingency plans in case the country was unable to pay all its bills. Instead of holding a public ceremony with...

The Saudi cut of 1 million barrels per day, to start in July, comes as the other OPEC+ producers agreed in a meeting in Vienna to extend earlier production cuts through next year. Calling the reduction a ''lollipop,'' Saudi Energy...

He remained in the Legislature for 32 years, including 22 years as Senate Majority Leader and he ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor in 2002.

On May 17 at 8:34 am Nepal time, against the backdrop of Tibetan prayer flags, Dr. Jacob Weasel, a 36-year-old citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, made history. Perched atop the Himalayas, Weasel became the first recorded Native American to summit Mount Everest. "You realize so strongly we are not meant to be here," Weasel recalls the harsh realities of being at the summit of Everest. "The Earth does not want us here." At 29,029 feet (8,848 meters), Mount Everest is the world's tallest...
Jean Teillet remembers the day she and a couple of friends planned to snag the rope that hanged Louis Riel from its display in Toronto’s fake castle, Casa Loma. “We were going to liberate the rope that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were parading around that hanged Louis Riel,” says Teillet, a Métis lawyer and the great grand-niece of Riel. It’s unclear why the rope was at Casa Loma, which is now operated by the City of Toronto. https://ictnews.org/news/the-mounties-150-years-of-conflict-with-indigenous-peoples...
