"The track record isn't promising." A two-and-a-half-year-old Palestinian boy shot in the head last week by Israeli forces—who initially denied shooting the toddler—succumbed to his wounds on Monday.

‘Outrageous’: Research Shows Pesticide Giants Withheld Brain Toxicity Studies From EU

(Photo: Jean-Francoi Monier/AFP via Getty Images) "Without full access to all performed toxicity studies, there can be no reliable safety evaluation of pesticides by E.U. authorities," researchers warn in a new study. JAKE JOHNSON New research published Thursday in the journal Environmental Health found that pesticide companies did not disclose to European Union regulators at least nine studies examining the brain toxicity of their chemical products—a finding that experts said is a scandal that must spur reforms. "It is outrageous," Christina Rudén, a professor of regulatory ecotoxicology and toxicology at Stockholm University and a co-author of the new study,&...

Rights advocates and lawmakers condemned Georgia authorities' use of helicopters and SWAT teams to arrest three people involved with a bail fund on May 31, 2023. (Photo: Atlanta Community Press Collective/Twitter) "Bailing out protestors who exercise their constitutionally protected rights is simply not a crime," said one civil rights defender. JULIA CONLEY Rights advocates warned Wednesday that the arrests of three board members of an Atlanta-based bail fund could mark the beginning of a new era in the United States' treatment of peaceful protesters—one in which both demonstrators and those who support them are targeted by law enforcement. Under the direction of the Republican state attorney general, Christopher Carr, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the A...

(Photo: Jordan Pettitt/PA Images via Getty Images) "Only negotiations can resolve this and I urge ministers to reopen formal discussions," said one labor leader. "Nursing staff are looking for a fair settlement that shows the government values and understands their profession." KENNY STANCIL Nurses and other National Health Service workers walked off the job in half of England's medical facilities on Sunday night amid an ongoing fight for higher pay and better patient safety in the United Kingdom. The latest NHS strike comes after Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Unite union members voted to reject the right-wing U.K. government's most recent pay...

ESTHER LYNCH May Day is an occasion for both celebration and dissent. On May Day, we celebrate the victories of the trade union movement, such as our successful campaign for the eight-hour day which gave birth to International Workers’ Day.

The Rosenberg Case is Closed, Time to Open the Books

BY THOMAS KNAPP Photograph Source: Roger Higgins – Public Domain The case, many say, is long closed. It’s been 70 years since the executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg on charges of spying for the Soviet Union. It’s been 28 years since the public release of decrypted Soviet cables revealing that Julius Rosenberg was indeed guilty, and at least strongly implying that Ethel Rosenberg knowingly participated in his espionage work — not just typing documents to hand over to his handlers, but even actively recruiting her own brother into the operation. But we still don’t know the whole truth, and not everyone who’s interested in the truth has forever to wait around for it. Michael and Robert Meeropol are, respectively, 80 and 76 years old. They were, respectively, te...
