La quema coincidirá con la festividad musulmana de Eid-al-Adha, una de las más significativas del calendario islámico.La decisión de permitir una protesta tan incendiaria puede amenazar las posibilidades de Suecia de entrar en la OTAN, debido a las objeciones de Turquía.Los funcionarios de la OTAN se encuentran en una carrera contra reloj para evitar el bochorno de ver cómo la alianza incumple su propio objetivo declarado de admitir a Suecia en la alianza antes del 11 de julio, fecha de su próxima cumbre oficial en la capital lituana, Vilna.

Oak Flat: a tract in Arizona sacred to some Native Americans but proposed as a giant copper mine

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:14:30 GMT

OAK FLAT, Ariz. (AP) — Azee Romero climbed barefoot on the wrinkled trunk of the massive Emory oak tree at the center of the Oak Flat Campground.The 5-year-old in his dinosaur t-shirt, with hair tied under a backwards baseball cap, scaled higher and higher until he found the perfect seat. There, cradled by the sturdy trunk, the boy smiled and rested comfortably as if he’d just climbed onto the lap of a grandparent.In fact, that centuries-old oak tree and the ground below it – the sacred, ancestral flats that stretch for miles east of Phoenix — are like kin to Azee’s family.“My little guy, his umbilical cord is buried here,” said Azee’s mother, Lian Bighorse. She said the connection to Oak Flat is physical as well as spiritual. The family is Chiricahua Apache, and Oak Flat, or Chi’chil Bildagoteel, is a consecrated place used for prayer and ritual by them and many other Native American peoples in the region. Elders say the land was blessed by Usen, their Creator, and inhabited ...

Thousands more prisoners across the US will get free college paid for by the government

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:14:30 GMT

REPRESA, California (AP) — The graduates lined up, brushing off their gowns and adjusting classmates’ tassels and stoles. As the graduation march played, the 85 men appeared to hoots and cheers from their families. They marched to the stage – one surrounded by barbed wire fence and constructed by fellow prisoners. For these were no ordinary graduates. Their black commencement garb almost hid their aqua and navy-blue prison uniforms as they received college degrees, high school diplomas and vocational certificates earned while they served time. Thousands of prisoners throughout the United States get their college degrees behind bars, most of them paid for by the federal Pell Grant program, which offers the neediest undergraduates tuition aid that they don’t have to repay.That program is about to expand exponentially next month, giving about 30,000 more students behind bars some $130 million in financial aid per year.The new rules, which overturn a 1994 ban on Pell Grants for prisoner...

Threats of impeachment and censure used to be rare. In this Congress, they’re becoming routine

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:14:30 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans have held it over Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for months. Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing it too. And President Joe Biden seemingly isn’t far behind.Driven by the demands of hard-right members, Republicans in the House are threatening impeachment against Biden and his top Cabinet officials, creating a backbeat of chatter about “high crimes and misdemeanors” that is driving legislative action, spurring committee investigations, raking in fundraising money and complicating the plans of Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his leadership team.Long viewed as an option of last resort, to be triggered only for the most severe wrongdoing, the constitutionally authorized power of impeachment is rapidly moving from the extraordinary to the humdrum, driven in large part by Republicans and their grievances about how Democrats twice impeached President Donald Trump.Republicans remain so opposed to Trump’s impeachments, in fact, that they a...

ANÁLISIS | La grabación que resume perfectamente por qué Trump no es apto para el Despacho Oval y por qué puede no importar

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:14:30 GMT

(CNN) — Los críticos aprovecharon este martes la revelación más reciente de una grabación de Trump sobre los documentos clasificados como un ejemplo perfecto de por qué el expresidente sometido dos veces a juicio político y acusado dos veces no es apto para regresar a la Casa Blanca.Pero la grabación también explica el llamado directo del ex comandante en jefe a los votantes de base del Partido Republicano para quienes romper las reglas que horrorizan a las élites de Washington es una justificación importante para otorgarle un segundo mandato.En el audio, obtenido exclusivamente por CNN, Trump habla sobre tener un documento secreto. La conversación de una reunión de julio de 2021 en su club de golf de Bedminster, Nueva Jersey, es uno de los dos episodios a los que se hace referencia en la acusación en la que los fiscales alegan que Trump mostró información clasificada a otras personas que no tenían autorización de seguridad.Dadas las circunstancias extraordinarias en las que u...
