I’d just like to point out that counter protesters outside the hotels used to house immigrants/asylum seekers are not all “left wing.” Many are just decent human beings sick of the way these people have been demonised by our Labour government, the Tories and Reform.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

"Mainstream economists are not interested in describing reality, they are interested, ultimately, in telling people how to behave. They actually are moralists more than scientists, but they pretend to be scientists, and they use moralistic language - "rational behavior" - to describe actions that any other sort of moralist would consider the essence of immoral behavior."

The light is awful when thunderstorms roll in—except on a Costa’s hummingbird. That’s when his gorget feathers turn electric. #birdsky

A series of four photos of a male Costa’s hummingbird perched on a green stem. His throat and crown shimmer with iridescent violet and magenta feathers, glowing differently as he turns his head. The rest of his plumage is olive-brown on the back with a pale gray chest and belly. In each frame, he shifts position—facing forward, sideways, and slightly down—revealing how the light transforms the brilliance of his gorget feathers against a blurred green background.

We could eliminate this problem by having many more doctors, if we just made it affordable to go to medical school. Many students with an interest in medicine don't become doctors because they don't want to spend decades working 80 hours a week to pay off a massive debt.

Texas is a majority-minority state, yet Republicans drew maps that make white votes carry 2-3 times more political power than Black or Hispanic votes. That’s what gerrymandering does: it cracks and packs communities of color so their growing numbers translate into less representation.
