When Bernie Sanders says Democrats abandoned the working class what he means is they stopped campaigning against wealth inequality
They traded liberal social values for conservative economic policies that increased wealth inequality

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.
It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

I was a Journalist/Editor. Made the big money move to Education (LOL) when my kids were little for better time spent with them.
I knew after Sandy Hook this would never change. If Americans can accept dead elementary school kids then they don't give a shit about teachers or teens.
