"My f****** heart's broken, and I'm so tired,” one Spokane, Washington resident said as the devastating wildfires have ripped through neighborhoods, destroying hundreds of homes. Another said, “This is just kind of surreal dude, I grew up in this house my whole life.” As of August 4, the Spokane Complex Fire has burned through 10,000+ acres, forced 67,000 people to evacuate, and has not been contained.

新西兰外交部长彼得斯（Winston Peters）周三（29日）在国会要求绿党华裔议员南西（Lawrence Xu-Nan）“回到自己的国家”，引发歧视争议。

争议起于29日在新西兰国会的一场辩论，生于中国天津、在纽西兰奥克兰长大的南西讨论到新冠疫情时，询问新西兰优先党（NZ First）党魁彼得斯是否有接种疫苗。彼得斯回应“回你自己的国家去吧”。

彼得斯说：“这里有民主，跟你所习惯的不一样。回到你来的地方去吧，你这个大嘴巴。”

南西批评，新西兰优先党将移民当成“代罪羔羊”，借此转移外界对政府施政的焦点。新西兰总理卢克森（Christopher Luxon）也谴责称，这是彼得斯“长期以不当言论博取关注”的事迹之一。

中国驻新西兰大使王小龙在X平台发文表示，虽然他倾向不介入新西兰内政，但“不得不说，一个人的发言，有时候比任何事情或任何人更能说明发言者的为人。”

彼得斯随后称，中国大使的发言“正好证明了我的观点”，并表示新西兰拥有言论自由，不同于共产主义及独裁国家。他拒绝收回先前的言论，并称外界指控他种族歧视的说法是“胡说八道”。

这并非彼得斯及其政党首次因涉及种族言论引发批评。今年稍早，彼得斯的副手琼斯（Shane Jones）曾批评新西兰与印度的自由贸易协定，称恐引发一场“奶油鸡海啸”（butter chicken tsunami）。去年，琼斯也曾在国会对墨西哥裔议员赫南德兹（Francisco Hernandez）高喊“把墨西哥人送回家”；当时，彼得斯还对赫南德兹及南西表示，两人应该“对能够来到新西兰心存感激”。

Two Drug Dealers Arrested Following Undercover Investigation at Fair Oaks Park

Over the past two weeks, Sunnyvale DPS’s Community Crimes Unit, working alongside the Santa Clara County Specialized Enforcement Team (SCCSET), conducted an undercover investigation into suspected narcotics sales at Fair Oaks Park.

Investigators identified two primary drug dealers who used hidden “stash” locations throughout the park to complete methamphetamine sales and avoid detection. Undercover officers made multiple purchases during the investigation, documenting the suspects’ methods and gathering evidence.

On July 21, investigators arrested both suspects, served search warrants at associated residences and vehicles, recovered additional evidence of narcotics sales, and seized the vehicles used to facilitate the crimes.

Both suspects remain in custody at the Santa Clara County Main Jail and have been charged with the sale and transportation of controlled substances.

Thank you to our regional law enforcement partners for their outstanding teamwork and collaboration. Sunnyvale DPS remains committed to proactive policing and keeping our parks and neighborhoods safe.

Crime has no place in Sunnyvale. If you choose to sell dangerous drugs in our community, we will find you, arrest you, and hold you accountable.

At least nine schools across the U.S. are now being equipped with drones designed to distract a school shooter until police arrive by flashing strobe lights, sounding sirens, and spraying pepper gel. They can ram into a threat at 50 miles per hour and will be stored at the schools, but some parents are raising concerns. More here: https://t.co/bRaITmA0rk

A group of orcas was captured on camera engaging in what scientists call "ram-to-fragment" behavior.

One whale holds a large sunfish and lets go just before another rams it at high speed, pulverizing the fish into thousands of pieces.

In a new study, scientists say the behavior could be a clever way to feed the young, a form of play, or a combination of both.
