Bill in the News (New York Post): Critics said the refusal of St. John’s to open a Turning Point USA chapter at its Queen campus smacks of liberal bias and cancel culture run amok. “Charlie Kirk was an advocate for civil discourse on campus. That was his trademark,” said Bill Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. “Why any school, especially a Catholic one, would find fault with that boggles the mind. St. John’s idea of inclusion clearly extends to the LGBTQ cause, but not the cause of free speech.

I’ve spoken to a certain president, who I like, actually, a past president, a former president. Asked which former president he’d spoken to, Trump said: “I can’t tell you that. “I liked Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clinton,” Trump said in a Feb. 4 interview with NBC News. “Was it Bill Clinton?” the reporter asked.

The Greeley, Colo., plant is one of the largest of its type in the U.S. Most Read from The Wall Street JournalThe strike among unionized workers is the largest at a meat plant in decades. The union local representing about 3,800 Greeley workers opted out of the national deal, saying that it didn’t account for the higher cost of living in Colorado. JBS and the Greeley union local negotiated for months on a new labor contract, but weren’t able to reach an agreement. “JBS is more interested in a labor dispute at the Greeley plant than resolving these issues,” said Kim Cordova, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union local that represents Greeley workers.

“In a severe blow to the Trump administration’s health agenda, a federal judge in Massachusetts on Monday blocked the government from implementing a series of decisions on vaccines made over the last year by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,” the New York Times reports. “The ruling also reversed, at least for the time being, all decisions made by the panelists that Mr. Kennedy appointed to the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, which makes recommendations on which vaccines Americans should take. The court decision will prevent the committee from meeting later this week, as it was scheduled to do.”

Four and a half months after being laid off, the state’s most prominent political journalist is returning to the airwaves. Keller will be providing analysis of important political developments on WBZ’s newscasts and moderating major political debates on the station. Keller will continue his weekly column and event hosting for MASSterList as well as occasional articles for Boston Magazine.

The widow and two children of Santos Ramos have sued Risher Mortuary & Cremation Service, alleging that the Montebello-based funeral home botched Ramos’ embalming and deprived the family of a meaningful final farewell. John Mason, an attorney representing the company, said that the mortuary strongly disputes that it mishandled Ramos’ remains and intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. AdvertisementThe family paid Risher $4,131 for funeral and embalming services in preparation for the funeral held at Casa Funeral Espinoza in Mexico. AdvertisementAs a result of the alleged substandard embalming, family members say they were forced to witness the “grotesque and undignified condition of their loved one’s remains” and suffered humiliation, grief and horror. The family is suing the company for breach of contract, negligence, infliction of emotional distress and violation of the California Health and Safety Code.

Nonetheless, I am drawn to consider how we might respond spiritually when our political atmosphere becomes unstable and morally disorienting. From a Buddhist perspective, this fragmentation of society reflects something deeper, which is the collective emotional forces shaping our societies. Ultimately, the Buddhist path asks for two commitments at once: compassion for all beings and fearlessness in naming harm. Compassion without truth becomes sentimentality, while truth without compassion becomes another form of violence. If we refuse the violence of the mind and the habits of cruelty, contempt, and dehumanization, we refuse the seed from which greater harm grows.

Mar 17, 2026 14:00:00Teenagers are suing xAI over Grok for creating child sexual abuse content. Furthermore, TechCrunch notes that Musk publicly advertised Grok's ability to generate sexual images and depict real people in revealing clothing, and that 'this will be a major point of contention in the lawsuit.' The second plaintiff claims that the police informed him that images containing sexual depictions of himself were generated by a third-party mobile app that used Grok. The plaintiff's lawyers argued that xAI is responsible for the problem because third-party use of Grok requires xAI's code and servers. Furthermore, they are seeking civil sanctions against xAI based on laws aimed at protecting sexually exploited children and preventing corporate negligence.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGAs the U.S. war with Iran drags on, much of the focus has been on a crucial waterway: the Strait of Hormuz. Infographic with a map of the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz showing attacks on commercial vessels between February 28 and March 11. A commercial ship anchored off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Strait of Hormuz, Dubai, on March 2, 2026. Shortly after the U.S. began its strikes on Iran, Iranian officials issued threats related to the Strait. Although U.S. airstrikes have already hit multiple Iranian mine-laying vessels, any wholesale effort to combat Iranian attacks will be challenging, The Guardian noted.
