“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

As the vulture population plummets, dogs multiply and rabies spreads. The sequence, triggered by human action, carries a warning that many scientists consider to be a sixth mass extinction: When we endanger other species, we endanger ourselves.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Jordan Peele’s new docuseries “High Horse: The Black Cowboy” highlights a truth America ignored for generations: Black cowboys helped shape the West. One in four cowboys were Black. Their stories matter, and this series helps restore them.

“Trust in media at new low of 28%” Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and control local news in 100 markets. Gee, I wonder why?
