What Can
Happen When Cities Decide to Confront the Oil and Gas Industry
Jack Healy, The New York Times
Healy writes: "Longmont has become a cautionary tale of what can happen when cities decide to confront the oil and gas industry. In an aggressive response to a wave of citizen-led drilling bans, state officials, energy companies and industry groups are taking Longmont and other municipalities to court, forcing local governments into what critics say are expensive, long-shot efforts to defend the measures."

Six Women
Murdered Each Day as Femicide in Mexico Nears a Pandemic
Judith Matloff, Al Jazeera America
Matloff writes: "Suárez Padilla spent 10 months hunting down the youth when he went on the lam — authorities would not make the effort. Even though the young man confessed, he has not been sentenced. Suárez Padilla wants to see him behind bars, alongside the police who denied a restraining order two months before the murder when the youth burst into the house, stole her cell phone and threatened to kill her."

The Senate's
46 Democrats Got 20 Million More Votes Than Its 54 Republicans
Dylan Matthews, Vox
Matthews writes: "On Tuesday, 33 US senators elected in November will be sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden — including 12 who are new to the chamber. The class includes 22 Republicans and 11 Democrats, a big reason why the GOP has a 54-46 majority in the Senate overall. But here's a crazy fact: those 46 Democrats got more votes than the 54 Republicans across the 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections."

Guns, Drugs
and Bandidos: Inside the Favela Too Violent for Rio’s Armed
Police
Jo Griffin, Guardian UK
Griffin writes: "'Yeah, I want to get out,' says Ricardo, 21. Then, relaxing, he takes the hand-grenade he has been toying with on his lap and places it amid the beer bottles on the table. In Vila Aliança in Bangu, western Rio, this is not particularly unusual behaviour."

The Killing of
the Grand Canyon Wolf
Ralph Maughan, The Wildlife News
Maughan writes: "The traditional excuse for shooting the wolf was given. The shooter said he thought it was a coyote. This usually means a fine of $500 or less if there is any prosecution at all because there will be no federal prosecution due to the U.S. Justice Department’s 'McKittrick Policy.'"
