    Bar owner alleges he was victim of ‘shakedown' amid growing federal criminal probe into City Hall, NYPD
    https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/brooklyn-bar-owner-alleges-shakedown-amid-nypd-nightlife-investigation-james-caban/5791217/
    A Coney Island bar owner said he was told his problems with the NYPD could be resolved if he hired and paid the police commissioner’s brother. The bar owner alleged it was a worker in the mayor’s office who allegedly tried to help arrange the deal. “I felt it was like I got an ultimatum. It’s like either you gonna get with this - or you gonna get shut down,” bar owner Shamel Kelly told NBC New York. Shamel Kelly said it was associate director Ray Martin of the mayor's Office of Entertainment and Nightlife who first told him he could pay the police commissioner's brother to help get better treatment from the NYPD.

    Sharks decapitated, ray mutilated at national seashore, TX officials say. One cited
    https://www.thestate.com/news/nation-world/national/article292264195.html
    Wildlife officials have completed their investigation into an August incident in which numerous ocean species were found mutilated on a coastal beach, Texas authorities said. One individual has been cited for “waste of fish,” after National Park Service rangers and staff documented in early August “a decapitated tiger shark and bull shark, a deceased and mutilated sting ray, and approximately 15 mostly intact deceased crabs,” according to a Sept. 10 news release from Padre Island National Seashore. While it is legal to “fish for and harvest” sharks in Texas, it is illegal to take them from public waters without the intent to keep them for consumption or bait, wildlife officials said. Authorities with the NPS and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department identified a suspect who they said “confessed to decapitating the sharks, harvesting some meat, and leaving the shark bodies on the beach to be scavenged and rot,” per the release.

    The Next President Will Be a Climate-Disaster President
    https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2024/09/trump-harris-debate-climate-change/679778/
    Tonight’s presidential debate was held while wildfires rage in Nevada, Southern California, Oregon, and Idaho. Louisiana is bracing for a possible hurricane landfall. After a year of floods and storms across the country, more than 10 percent of Americans no longer have home insurance, as climate risk sends the insurance industry fleeing vulnerable places. Record heat waves have strained infrastructure and killed hundreds of Americans. For millions more, the ravages of climate change are already at their doorstep. These are all material miseries—tragedies and health hazards and inconveniences—that America’s two presidential candidates could use to connect with voters. Arguably, voters are owed a plan that would address these problems. Yet during the debate, climate discussion did not go far beyond Donald Trump making a scattered mention of solar energy—warning that under a Kamala Harris presidency, the country would “go back to windmills and solar, where they need a whole desert to get some energy to come out,” before adding, incongruously, “I’m a big fan of solar, by the way.” Harris, meanwhile, doubled down on her statement that she would not ban fracking. The moderators did broach the topic, asking the two candidates, “What would you do to fight climate change?” Harris briefly mentioned people losing their homes and insurance rates rising due to extreme weather. And she stressed that “we can deal with this issue”—before speaking about American manufacturing and U.S. gas production reaching historic levels. Trump spoke about tariffs on Mexican-produced cars. Neither mentioned what they would do to cope with the threat of more chaotic weather.

    Can a National Strike Save a Closed Plant? A Town Depends On It.
    https://inthesetimes.com/article/belvidere-reopening-delay-uaw-national-strike
    The UAW is calling up locals to stand by Stellantis workers in Belvidere, Ill., who were promised a reopening. Dawn Simms has been out of work for a year and a half. The Stellantis auto plant where she, her father and grandfather worked most of their adult years now sits idle, ringed with tall grass and weeds. Almost all of the members of her union, United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 1268, have been laid off, too, and the effects have rippled through the northern Illinois town of Belvidere, where restaurants have closed and business at others has slowed, as the need at food pantries has increased. It’s a familiar Rust Belt story, with a twist. Sitting in the union hall, a five minute drive from the shuttered plant, Simms does not talk like someone resigned to the loss of her livelihood or her home town’s vibrancy. ​“We’re here and we’re willing to work,” she says. ​“We want to work. Why can’t you keep your promise and bring your product?” She’s referring to a historic promise extracted by the UAW in its fall 2023 strike against Stellantis, Ford and General Motors. Stellantis contractually agreed to reopen the Belvidere plant, which had been idled earlier that year after 58 years in operation, and to pursue new manufacturing in the town. But now, the union says, the company is dragging its feet and attempting to renege on the reopening. UAW leaders are concerned that the real intent is to delay action beyond the May 1, 2028 expiration of the contract, so that the union has to renegotiate the reopening of the plant. In response, the UAW has launched a coordinated, national campaign to hold the company to its word. Under the leadership of President Shawn Fain, who came in as a reform challenger, the union is testing a thesis: that workers do not have to be subject to the whims of corporations, shuffled from here to there, separated from family or the towns they love when a CEO says it’s time to close down and relocate. By wielding their greatest weapon — the nationwide strike, or simply the threat thereof — workers can have a say in the manufacturing processes that shape their lives.
