This week's Weekly Newsish moves from the strange to the serious, starting with a major volcanic eruption in Hawaii and lighter stories like cats being brought into Japanese offices. The episode then shifts into political and civil-rights stories, including President Trump flipping off a Ford factory worker, the worker’s suspension, and growing concern over ICE activity and violence in Minneapolis following the killing of Renee Good. Additional stories include a large-scale nurse strike in New York, a biodegradable plastic breakthrough at Rutgers University, Fetty Wap’s early release from prison, orcas using kelp as tools, manatee rehabilitation efforts in Florida, a resurfaced zoo animal theft case, and the birth of a baby orangutan at Cameron Park Zoo.
