Many US thug departments systematically purchase access to the Fog Reveal "service" which provides access to an enormous data base of people's movements.

San Francisco has adopted a policy of not enforcing drug laws against psychedelic drugs made from "plants", which appears to include drugs made from fungi even though fungi are not plants. (The higher fungi are more closely related to animals.)

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, has rejected an attempt to privatize the sewer system.

Ukraine launched an attack to the east near Kharkiv and has captured the strategic rail junction of Kupiansk, which the Putin forces have been using to send supplies to a substantial part of the front.
