This mesmerizing video shows global ocean currents in motion using NASA’s ECCO model, which integrates decades of satellite, buoy, and sensor data. The Van Gogh-style swirls reveal complex currents that drive climate, ecosystems, and weather worldwide.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

Dingoes are not domestic dogs – new evidence shows these native canines are on their own evolutionary path
New research suggests dingoes are distinct enough to have their own scientific name. If this is accepted, it will have far-reaching consequences
