Neither “all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat” and all the MAGA hats you could want, nor Trump’s repeated threats of military force, have caused Greenlanders to surrender. Congressional Republicans could learn from them

Saddened to learn of the passing of Tim Mahoney. Tim was a dedicated community leader, serving as an ACC Trustee, neighborhood advocate, and progressive voice for Austin. His commitment to public service and improving our community touched many lives. He will be missed.

Important Austin American-Statesman editorial reminding us that honoring the fallen this Memorial Day means respecting the freedoms and values they sacrificed for, including a peaceful world.

As they wrote “Preserving those ideals also means easing human suffering wherever we can.

Memorial Day honors the fallen — and our better values | Opinion The generation that fought World War II also helped feed suffering civilians abroad. That legacy is worth preserving today, William Lambers writes.
