Building more nuclear power plants won't save us. It will only create more places we can't go (more radioactive waste sites).

Pronghorn are ridiculously fast. Bison are ridiculously big and strong. The American prairie used to have some really formidable predators.

There is no reason for ICE agents to be armed. If they are shot at — and there’s no record of this ever actually happening — they could readily summon state or local police to protect their safety.

Imagine hearing a knock and immediately worrying about your family being taken.

You can hear the fear in his voice. Nobody should have to feel this way in their own home.

This is America right now.

I wanted to believe it too, that the mighty brown bear has no enemies. But, Siberian tigers often prey on brown bears.

Old growth trees are pretty impervious to ice storms, when the water on their needles freezes and becomes heavy. These big trees protect the smaller ones. Without them the smaller trees topple like dominoes.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.
