What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Artomyces pyxidatus, the Crown-tipped Coral or Candelabra Coral fungus, was not seen in the UK over the entire 20th century, its last record in 1886 until a spate of recent findings around 2022, which is when I found this specimen (in East Kent). Where did it disappear all this time?

Priority One for the Next Democratic President Must Be Restoring Democracy
The Biden years were a missed opportunity, but, as Trump’s authoritarian spree shows, Democrats (and democracy) cannot afford another one.

I think it's important to say every time that Americans have been frightened of Black Haitians since the Haitian Revolution succeeded because the Haitian fight for freedom inspired enslaved people across the Americas and showed colonizer slaveholders that sometimes we win. They're still scared.
DHS has announced the end of temporary immigration protections for Haitians.
The decision, effective Feb. 3, 2026, affects up to more than a half million Haitians. They now face returning to a country plagued by criminal gangs that control all major roads into the capital Port-au-Prince.
