A new investigation into the Catholic Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island shows that an estimated 75 priests abused more than 300 children since 1950. On Wednesday, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha released findings from a multiyear investigation. Investigators say the diocese often moved accused priests to minimize scandal and largely avoided contacting law enforcement. Diocesan leaders dispute the report's conclusions and say the abuse is not ongoing. Neronha’s office has charged four current and former priests with sexual abuse for allegations stemming from 2020 to 2022. Three of them are still awaiting trial. The fourth priest died after being deemed incompetent to stand trial in 2022.

What's the difference?
On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Good. These killings are a direct result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities. Congress is currently negotiating funding for DHS, which includes ICE and Border Patrol. We are demanding our Members of Congress draft a new bill that, at minimum: Ensures there is not one penny more for ICE or CBP Pulls ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and the rest of our communities Prevents ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated ‘sensitive locations’ such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension Ends the administration’s unlawful practice of warrantless home entry and arrests Use this tool to instantly contact your Members of Congress with a clear message: Protect our communities by reining in ICE NOW. The email to your Members of Congress:

About 50 members of a community outside Chile’s capital spent Saturday trying their best to power an entirely human-operated chatbot that could answer questions and make silly pictures on command, in a message to highlight the environmental toll and water usage of artificial intelligence data centers in the region. Organizers say the 12-hour project has fielded more than 25,000 requests from around the world, with more still coming in. The answers came from a rotating crew of volunteers working on laptops in a community center in Quilicura, a municipality at the urban edge of Santiago that has become a data center hub.
