Over 100 residents in Sulaimani, Iraq participated in Earth Hour tonight from 8:30-9:30pm.

Amanj Saeed was one of the main event organizers.

Stranded in Malaga :(

Stranded in Malaga :(

My brother and I are here in Malaga, Spain for a stop in our trip through europe, and just happened to be planning on travelling to Madrid today! Turns out that the trains are shut down except for a couple that are going through today but are far too expensive. Walking through the streets is a nightmare and every now and then you can hear firecrackers going off, and see people chaining ladders to light posts. Luckily our hostel here is letting us stay another night, and being in Madrid right now seems like a bad idea. So far here everything is looking very peaceful, but we know it can turn bad very fast. Here’s our pics! -Seth and Connor Dear

Protests outside the Supreme Court

Protests outside the Supreme Court

I don’t want to offer my point of view on this question here but I will say that I have enjoyed hearing other people’s answers over the last couple days. As an amateur photographer in Washington, DC this is like Christmas for me. So many passionate people with different points of view make for interesting photos. I haven’t seen many protests/rallies where opposing sides are so close together. It made for even more dramatic displays of emotion.
