Every person who testified at a recent public hearing on the Brookfield Compressor Station opposed the expansion. Governor Lamont must deny the permit and prioritize the health of our communities. More info: connecticut.sierraclub.org/end-fossil-fuel-expansion

Attention to my folks from Western & Central Mass / Connecticut:

Big Y Licks ICE Boots

Since this is a -voluntary- program, it means Big Y leadership actively sought the cooperation of ICE.

After teenโ€™s death, Hartford residents call on city council to meaningfully address traffic violence It comes after the hit-and-run death of a 14-year-old on Christmas.

โ€œViolence is violence, and we say no more violence,โ€ Davis said, citing 71 traffic deaths in Hartford in 2025. โ€œThe city of Hartford has to stand up to prevent and intervene on our behalf so that we can prevent the tragedies that have been happening.โ€

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

โ€œFour of my children just evaporated,โ€ Badran said, holding back tears. โ€œI looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?โ€

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
