Vermont Niceness Is Not the Answer to the Shooting of Three Palestinians People gather for a vigil, after three Palestinian American students were shot near the University of Vermont campus, in Pliny Park in Brattleboro, Vt., on Nov. 27, 2023.Photo: Kristopher Radder/The Brattleboro Reformer via APWhen a white man shot three Palestinian students in Burlington, Vermont, it struck much of America as the least likely place for the violence of Israel–Palestine to show its teeth. Vermont is peaceful. Vermont is civil. Vermont is tolerant. It had to be an aberration.In fact, it turned out that Jason Eaton — the man charged with shooting Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid, and Tahseen Ali Ahmad — is not a Vermonter. He’s from Syracuse, New York, just recently relocated to Burlington, where he bought the gun. He might not have had plans to stay. Yes, it had to be an aberration.I have lived half-time in Vermont for 32 years. The home my partner and I share is on a dirt road in a small town in the rural Northeast Kingdom, which is about as far as you can get, eco...

Trump desestima las advertencias de que su victoria amenazaría la democracia y dice que Biden es la verdadera amenaza (CNN) —  El expresidente Donald Trump calificó este sábado de “engaño” y de “desinformación demócrata” las advertencias de que su victoria en 2024 representaría una amenaza para la democracia.El expresidente, que enfrenta cargos federales y estatales derivados de sus esfuerzos por anular las elecciones de 2020, dijo en un discurso organizado por el Club de Jóvenes Republicanos de Nueva York que el presidente Joe Biden “es la verdadera amenaza a la democracia”.“¿Puedes creerlo? Esta es su nueva línea, ya sabes”, dijo Trump. “Aquí vamos de nuevo: ‘Rusia, Rusia, Rusia’, ‘Mueller, Mueller, Mueller’, ‘Ucrania, Ucrania, Ucrania’. Un engaño tras otro”.“Pero no, no soy una amenaza. Salvaré la democracia. La amenaza es el corrupto Joe Biden”, dijo Trump.Y añadió: “Y eso es lo que es, es un engaño. Ahora lo llamamos el engaño de la amenaza a la democracia, porque eso es lo que es”.Trump dijo más tarde que esos ataques fueron un “intento desesper...

Philippines says Chinese coast guard used water cannons against its vessels for a second day MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Chinese coast guard targeted Philippine vessels with water cannon blasts Sunday and rammed one of them, causing damage and endangering Filipino crew members off a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, just a day after similar hostilities at another contested shoal, Philippine officials said.The Philippines and its treaty ally, the United States, immediately condemned the latest confrontation near the Second Thomas Shoal, where two Philippine navy-operated supply boats and two Philippine coast guard escort ships sailed to deliver food and other supplies to Filipino forces in a long-marooned navy ship that serves as a territorial outpost.“We condemn, once again, China’s latest unprovoked acts of coercion and dangerous maneuvers against a legitimate and routine Philippine rotation and resupply mission to Ayungin Shoal that has put the lives of our people at risk,” a Philippine government task force that deals with the territorial disputes said in a...

Gibraltar airport key to Spain-Britain deal, says Spanish foreign minister

Gibraltar airport key to Spain-Britain deal, says Spanish foreign minister  Joint use of Gibraltar’s airport has to be included in any agreement between Spain and Britain over the future of the territory, Spain’s foreign minister said.In an interview published Sunday in El País, Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares made clear that the airport wouldn’t be left out of the deal, asking “what sense would it make to leave out an element as beneficial to the population as the airport?” The negotiations over the future of Gibraltar have dragged on post-Brexit, with a temporary agreement in place for the British Overseas Territory that sees Spain allow workers and tourists free border passage. Negotiations continue this week, following talks between Albares and U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron on the sidelines of a NATO meeting. “To me, it seems like progress that flights can come from Spanish airports and other European countries, promoting tourism and relations. The airport has to be in the agreement, of course,” said Albares. He said that Spa...

Buonopane stars in debut, Archbishop Williams outlasts Bishop Feehan

Buonopane stars in debut, Archbishop Williams outlasts Bishop Feehan CANTON – Phenom goalie Evelyn Lacey left big skates to fill on the Archbishop Williams girls hockey team when she transferred after last year.In the Bishops’ season opener Saturday night, though, junior Bella Buonopane laced them up for a perfect fit.By stopping all 16 shots she faced in a frantic third period, in which No. 5 Archbishop Williams (1-0) needed to kill three separate penalties, Buonopane (32 saves) paired with a gritty defense and two first-period goals to stave off No. 6 Bishop Feehan for a 2-1 Catholic Central League win in her first career varsity start.One of those saves looked like the puck snuck in for the game-tying goal in the closing minutes, but officials ruled the play over before it crossed the line, and the Bishops eventually held on despite an onslaught of pressure.“It was kind of stressful because last year we had Evelyn Lacey and she was a beast,” Buonopane said. “But I know I can play, I’ve been playing for a few years. So I feel like I just played wit...

Indigenous services minister to table First Nations water bill as early as Monday

Indigenous services minister to table First Nations water bill as early as Monday OTTAWA — Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu is expected to table much-anticipated legislation to improve water quality in First Nations communities as early as Monday.The bill comes more than a year after Canada repealed previous legislation on safe drinking water for First Nations, and two years after a Federal Court ruling approved a massive $8-billion settlement related to drinking water advisories.Hajdu said in an interview with The Canadian Press this fall that the coming legislation is the closest the federal government has come to co-developing law with First Nations. But some First Nations chiefs are disputing that assertion.Hajdu’s office is not providing more information about what’s in the bill before it is tabled. In June 2022, the federal Liberals did away with the existing Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act, which had been introduced by the previous Conservative government in 2013.The government at the time said the bill aimed to support the de...
