Maria selected the two items above from Friday's Democracy Now! Headlines. When we decided to do that last week to spotlight the new feature at Democracy Now! (NEW FEATURE: Democracy Now! is now offering the program's daily news summary translated into Spanish. Los Titulares de Hoy ), I hadn't even thought about the holiday was approaching. Due to various committments on members who speak Spanish, we elected to hold off on Friday's Headlines until today. Thanks to Maria for selecting two items. Please try to pass on the word that Democracy Now! is now providing their Headlines in Spanish (that's in text and audio).
Here are the two items that Maria selected in English:
