What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.

My university, the Univ of Edinburgh in Scotland, has just released a report on historical ties to racism & slavery, with a formal apology.

Insane that if we were an American university, our leadership would now be fired, my research funding terminated, and our students threatened with deportation.

Another day, another dinosaur auction.

A world where dinosaur skeletons can fetch tens of millions of dollars within a few minutes at auctions is not a world where dinosaurs will long be accessible to educate and inspire everyone.

Republicans realize that if they were to even allude to Jesus, his life and teachings would swiftly become the loudest and most powerful public rebuke of their vile movement, that his words would come and violently flip their very tables.

The hourly rates paid for by taxpayers to staff the Everglades detention camp are more than what we pay teachers in Florida. Just horrible priorities as usual from our state government.
If you’re wondering how much public money the state is spending to staff this immigrant detention center in the middle of the Everglades, look no further as we have the contract for CRS (Critical Response Strategy). They are the ones “managing” the facility.

Donald Trump's favors for JBS could wreak havoc on America’s family farmers.

I pressed JBS on its massive donation to Trump's inauguration, because every farmer who plays by the rules in this country deserves answers.
NEW: JBS, the Brazilian meat-packing giant known for bribery and corruption scandals, just went public.

The company was previously denied access to U.S. markets — until they donated millions to Trump’s inaugural fund.

Now, small farms across the country are sounding the alarms.
