Trump makes history again as he powers toward Republican nomination

No, he didn't, #CNN. He won by 58 percent to 42. That's far less than anticipated (by yourself).

Trump beats Haley decisively in N.H.

No, he didn't, #WaPo. He took a beating by 42% of the GOP voters who just didn't vote for him (and probably won't).

Judge rules in favor of Montana youths in landmark climate decision

In the first ruling of its kind nationwide, a Montana state court decided Monday in favor of young people who alleged the state violated their right to a “clean and healthful environment” by promoting the use of fossil fuels.

The court determined that a provision in the Montana Environmental Policy Act has harmed the state’s environment and the young plaintiffs, by preventing Montana from considering the climate impacts of energy projects. The provision is accordingly unconstitutional, the court said.

Several left and people’s organizations in West Africa have condemned the threat issued by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to militarily intervene with the backing of #France and the #US to restore the unpopular Mohamed Bazoum to #Niger’s presidency.

The West African Peoples’ Organization (WAPO) has “vehemently opposed” the ultimatum by #ECOWAS Heads of States on July 30 to “take all measures necessary,” including “the use of force,” if the ousted president and his government is not restored by Sunday, August 6.

This decision of ECOWAS is “a maneuver by colonial France and #GB, under the hegemony of American #imperialism, to resort to armed intervention under the guise of restoring #democracy and #human-rights in Niger,” #WAPO said in a statement on Wednesday, August 2.
