Activists shut down mural of Iryna Zarutska at gay bar in Rhode Island — but artist finds another location

A Democrat mayor joined a mob of activists to shut down the painting of a mural in honor of Iryna Zarutska in Providence, Rhode Island, but the muralist is getting the last laugh.Mayor Brett Smiley said the mural was against the values of the city after the owners of a prominent gay bar previously said they would allow it to be painted on one of their walls.'She worked to build a life for herself and lost it along the way. This mural is our way of honoring her on a building owned by an immigrant family who understands that journey.'Halfway through the commission of the mural, the owners of the Dark Lady changed their minds and said on social media that the outrage from the LGBTQIA+ community forced them to stop the painting.Now the mural has found a new home at a Lebanese restaurant instead of the gay bar.The owner of Opa the Phoenician on Atwells Avenue is donating space for the mural on Federal Hill."She was once an immigrant chasing the American dream," said Francois Karam about Zarutska. "She worked to build a life for herself and lost it along the way. This mural is our way of honoring her on a building owned by an immigrant family who understands that journey." He went on to say that the decision wasn't made out of political motivation. A Change.org petition garnered more than 13,600 signatures from those who demanded that the mural be returned to the Dark Lady's wall. In an email statement to Blaze News, the petition creator lamented that the voices against the mural had won. "While I appreciate that a version of Iryna Zarutska's mural has been allowed to go up at Opa Restaurant on Atwells Avenue, this is no real victory. It’s a quiet concession to political pressure," said Anthony D'Ellena, a local Republican committee chairman. "Mayor Smiley called the original prominent mural ‘divisive’ and used his influence to bully the first business into removing it," he added. "Now Iryna gets a diminished, tucked-away tribute on a side wall instead of the bold, visible memorial she deserved in downtown Providence." A separate petition on Change.org opposing the mural garnered 15 signatures.RELATED: New butterfly species named in honor of Ukrainian woman brutally murdered on NC light rail D'Ellena said in an update to the petition that he would continue to fight for the return of the mural. The brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska, an immigrant who survived the war in Ukraine, was captured on security video from the Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail system. A suspect with a history of mental illness and violent crime was arrested and sparked a campaign against lax law enforcement policies.Mayor Smiley is running for re-election in 2026 against another Democrat on the ballot as well as a third Democrat candidate who is a convicted child molester.Like Blaze News?

Polémica por la prohibición del español en ruedas de prensa del Mundial 2026

La FIFA generó controversia en el Mundial 2026 al prohibir el uso del idioma español en las ruedas de prensa oficiales, a pesar de que México es uno de los países anfitriones. La medida obligó a jugadores y periodistas hispanohablantes a comunicarse en inglés, lo que fue visto como una exclusión lingüística antes de que la FIFA rectificara e incluyera el español en sus servicios de traducción.

Open for Comment: Federal Plan Requirements for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units That Commenced Construction on or Before August 31, 2020, and Have Not Been Modified or Reconstructed After August 29, 2025

Environmental Protection Agency — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a Federal plan to implement the revised emission guidelines for existing other solid waste incineration (OSWI) units. The EPA promulgated emission guidelines for existing OSWI units in 2005 and revised the emission guidelines on June 30, 2025. If a State or Tribe with existing OSWI units subject to the 2025 revised OSWI emission guidelines does not submit an approvable plan by June 30, 2027, the EPA will develop, implement, and enforce a Federal plan for existing OSWI units located in that State or area of Indian Country. This action proposes a Federal plan to implement the 2025 revised OSWI units emission guidelines for existing OSWI units located in States and on Tribal lands without effective State or Tribal plans by the effective date of this Federal plan.
