The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), an operational research center crucial to furthering our understanding of weather and helping to save lives and property, is at risk of being dismantled. We must not let that happen.

A Kavanaugh stop is not a “brief encounter”; it is Supreme Court sanctioned racial profiling being abused with impunity by ICE.

LOLLL Trump claims he’s cutting drug prices by 600 percent, which is not possible

For humans, static electricity is a curiosity. For insects, it can be life or death: spiders use it to catch prey, bumblebees to collect pollen, and nematodes to leap onto passing flies.

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.

They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.

I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

Susie Wiles doesn’t know why things happen. Speaker Johnson never knows. Even Trump doesn’t know why he pardoned people or who they are or why shipwrecked survivors are bombed or… Who does know?

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.
