Science belongs to the public. That’s why it was so special to share our Community Science Data Talks project on public radio!

When climate science and public media are under pressure, I’m reminded that informed, empathetic conversation is a form of civic action.

Dr. Imogen Herrick, assistant professor of STEM Education at the University of Kansas, is changing the way climate change is discussed in K-12 classrooms. Her Community Science Data Talks shift the fo...

Good morning, creatives! I've always been fascinated by crows and ravens because they are so intelligent. I've watched numerous documentaries, and I will find a way to write them into a fantasy story. Is there an animal that fascinates you?

They got bot farms saying Stephen Miller is hot and charismatic. They’re doing White House roundtables on things that don’t exist. They’re releasing piles of dubious mugshots. They’re saying vibrant cities are boarded up and war torn. They think saying anything enough will make the truth irrelevant.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country.

A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

"Turning Point" = fascist youth group

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 10h

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Rutgers TPUSA officers slam petition to shut down chapter, ‘Blatantly defamatory’

Alexander Di Filippo accuses Turning Point USA of inciting violence against Antifa handbook author Mark Bray.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Here’s what we know about the lynching Trey Reed:

1) he was hit on the back of the head, and had multiple contusions.

2) he was strangled manually and then hung from the tree

3) he had an altercation with 4 white students in defense of his sister, who had posted something about Charlie Kirk

DHS’s Kristi Noem targets country singer over song with lyrics about ICE

When the government starts leaning on artists over song lyrics, there’s a problem. Take country star Zach Bryan and his song that referenced ICE, for example.

And why are you throwing retired folks on a fixed income away, funding one group and not others? This is wrong. Live up to your principles. I expect an answer.

Why are you signing on to a bill to pay military during the shutdown? Why are they better than us, federal employees? Why are you making it a tiered system where some folks are better than others? I expect an answer from you.
