Kenya court upholds cancellation of 1,050 MW coal plant license
Kenya’s Environment and Land Court has upheld a 2019 ruling that revoked the environmental license for the proposed 1,050-megawatt Lamu coal-fired power plant, effectively halting the controversial project. Justice Francis Njoroge dismissed an appeal from the Amu Power Company, finding the project’s environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) was inadequate and public participation deficient.

Department of Justice Rule Restores Equal Protection for All in Civil Rights Enforcement
Today, the Justice Department issued a final rule updating its regulations under Title VI of the Civil Rights of 1964. This rule ensures that our nation’s federal civil rights laws are firmly grounded in the principle of equal treatment under the law by eliminating disparate-impact liability from its Title VI regulations.

US Detains Two Men Accused of Smuggling Nvidia AI Gear to China
The US Department of Justice has detained two men for allegedly violating export control laws by attempting to smuggle at least $160 million worth of Nvidia Corp. AI chips to China. A third, the owner of a Houston company, has already pleaded guilty.

Supreme Court rejects appeal to overturn its same-sex marriage ruling
The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

Clerk Kim Davis had been trying to get the justices to overturn a lower-court order that she pay $360,000 in damages and attorney’s fees.

Big win for environmental justice in New Jersey.
A state appeals court just upheld a groundbreaking 2023 rule that makes it harder for polluting industries to get permits in low-income communities and communities of color.
Industrial groups challenged it, but the court sided with protecting overburdened areas over economic arguments.

Jurors showed no appetite for the Justice Department's case against "sandwich guy," the D.C. resident who chucked a Subway sandwich at the chest of a federal officer, finding him not guilty on Thursday after several hours of deliberations.

Sandwich Guy (there’s always a “Community” clip. 😂)

Don’t Forget to Ask: What Happens to the Savings?
The proposal for Degrowth calls for an intentional downscaling of the global economy to achieve both ecological sustainability and social justice. A degrowth transition would help ensure that ecological practices actually displace destructive ones, and that the savings from efficiency measures are truly saved.
