Alfred “Alfie” Date, recognized as Australia’s oldest man, spent his final years knitting tiny sweaters. During an oil spill near Phillip Island in 2001, 96% of the 438 affected penguins were successfully released back into the wild, thanks in part to the use of these protective sweaters.

This is progress, as far as it goes. But land-burning should be banned here for all purposes other than firebreaks and emergencies. There should be no burning by grouse estates, and no "swaling" on Dartmoor and Exmoor (torching regenerating woodland for sheep pasture).

Terrific reporting by @nytimes.com. Shame the British media can’t expose this for themselves. Will only fuel suspicion that Farage and his Brexit gang are - and have always been - a Putinist front

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

3) Trump and Putin are closely coordinating their actions and remain happy to work with each other.

If you were told this would be the situation in November for Ukraine, you would say it was much worse than expected.
