Lavine Bill Seeks to Mandate Teaching of January 6th Insurrection in New York Schools

(WNY News Now) In order to guarantee that future generations comprehend the historical significance of the January 6th Capitol revolt, Assemblymember Charles Lavine has sponsored a new measure that would require K–12 instruction about it in New York. New York's Albany Charles Lavine (D-North Shore), a member of the New York State Assembly, has proposed legislation requiring K–12 education on the January 6, 2021, uprising at the US Capitol and its aftermath. President Trump's persistent attempts to hide one of the most shameful moments in our country's history are the reason behind the proposed amendment to the education law. Trump's decision to pardon individuals who attempted to violently disrupt our democracy and the orderly transfer of power was one of his first acts as president in...

New Zealand’s Mount Taranaki is now legally a person

A mountain, a river, and then an asacred forest. In New Zealand, Mount Taranaki, a massive 8,261-foot stratovolcano that is well-liked by skiers and snowboarders, was acknowledged as a legal person on Thursday. The mountain, also known by its M ori name Taranaki Maunga, is the most recent natural feature in the nation to confer a person's rights, powers, obligations, liabilities, and duties. The indigenous M ori people regard the mountain to be one of their ancestors, but the government has essentially stopped owning it. Te K hui Tupua is its legal name, and the law regards it as an indivisible, living entity. It encompasses Taranaki as well as the surrounding country and hills, with all of their material and spiritual components. Government representatives and members of the local M ori ...

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker blocks Jan. 6 rioters from state jobs after Trump pardons

President Donald Trump attempted to provide those who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol a fresh start last week with a broad set of pardons and commutations, but Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is preventing them from holding state positions. Pritzker ordered the state's Department of Central Management Services, which is in charge of hiring people, to limit the hiring of those involved in the Capitol attack by stating that their involvement was shameful and infamous and that it went against the state's mission late Thursday. In a formal order that NBC News was able to obtain, Pritzker said that these rioters attacked law enforcement officials defending citizens in the Capitol, interfered with the orderly handover of power, and weakened fundamental tenets of Americ...

How did so many Thai farmers end up held hostage by Hamas?

Five Thai nationals who had been taken captive by Hamas since its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, were freed on Thursday. They were among the 31 Thais who were captured by the militant group; 23 of them have since been freed. Two more people have been officially declared dead, and it's unclear how one of them is doing. Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that 46 Thais, including the two who perished in Hamas captivity, had been slain in the fighting. Tens of thousands of Thai laborers were employed in Israel, including them. Israel used to rely mostly on Palestinian labor, but with the first Intifada, a Palestinian uprising that lasted from 1987 to 1993, it began to import a lot of migrant labor. The majority were from Thailand, and Thai people continue to make significantl...

Colombian president asks undocumented Colombians in the United States to return

Gustavo Petro, the president of Colombia, called for undocumented Colombians working in the United States to leave their jobs right away and go back to their country on Friday. In a post on X, he also mentioned that returnees who sign up for its programs would receive credits from the Department of Social Prosperity. This week, Colombian air force aircraft have landed in Bogota with U.S. deportees. After diplomats from his administration and the United States came to an agreement on deportation flights over the weekend, Petro avoided an economic catastrophe. The issue had threatened tariffs on both countries, and the U.S. had imposed visa restrictions.
