Climate change activists on kayaks tease oil tankers in Richmond

(BCN) -- What started two years ago as a club for black and brown kayakers has turned into a league of activists who want to do something rather than nothing about climate change.Thirty-two kayakers buzzed a berthed oil tanker at the Chevron Oil Refinery Sunday afternoon. As the fog lifted, a company security guard with a megaphone told the paddlers to back up beyond a 100-yard safety zone. Ten boaters got brave and darted closer, teasing authorities to escalate. In the end, the activists did not stop the departure of a 2 p.m. oil tanker. But they will try again."I think next time we're going to get a little closer to their departure time," said one of the group's organizers, Alfredo Angulo, 23.The Rich City Rays is a collection of hobbyists and seasoned kayakers that perform their First Amendment rights on water. They acted at Lake Merritt on Earth Day in 2021 and again in support of Greenpeace International, as that legacy environmental group fought a seven-year slap lawsuit in th...

WASHINGTON DC – El gobierno del presidente Joe Biden y más de 4,000 inmigrantes que fueron separados de sus familias en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México durante el gobierno del expresidente Donald Trump llegaron a un acuerdo legal este lunes que permite a las familias vivir y trabajar en EEUU durante tres años mientras reciben vivienda, salud mental y asistencia jurídica para solicitar asilo.El acuerdo también prohíbe al gobierno federal separar a cualquier familia de migrantes que cruce la frontera durante ocho años, a menos que los padres sean considerados un peligro para sus hijos o el público o hayan ingresado previamente al país ilegalmente más de dos veces.El acuerdo, anunciado por el Departamento de Justicia, pondría fin a uno de los capítulos más oscuros de la política de inmigración de EEUU, en el que las familias que cruzaron ilegalmente la frontera sur en 2017 y 2018 fueron separadas sistemáticamente. Los niños menores de 18 años fueron enviados a la custod...

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The first half of the season went about as well as it could for Penn State.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — More than 10 months after the Reyna family pressured U.S. Soccer Federation staff to give more playing time to Gio Reyna at the World Cup, the team has not yet adopted rules to prevent similar lobbying.“That’s something that U.S. Soccer leadership is discussing, and as of now, nothing’s been put in place,” coach Gregg Berhalter said Monday, a day ahead of the Americans’ exhibition against Ghana.Gio Reyna didn’t play in the Americans’ World Cup opener against Wales on Nov. 21.

The last time it was this hot in October was in 2020 when temperatures hit 85 degrees. The year 2020 was particularly odd because it was also one of Denver's earliest freezes on record, which came in early September. After the first freeze, the temperatures went back up into the 80s and 90s. This year is similar to the 2020 temperature changes where this past weekend caused a freeze warning, now it's transitioning back to bathing suit weather.
