His previous brush with law enforcement was his assault on a police officer who had been brutally beating a Black man.

The entire sum of money in billionaire hands in the USA is $4.6 Trillion. Which is (a) a shitload of money, and also (b) roughly equal to the amount the federal government spent on healthcare alone in the year 2020. The American federal government, which you’ll note, does not really do a whole hell of a lot for…

Scientists cited in the article believe “this project might steal the spotlight from more important conservation efforts” that could help accomplish more pressing goals related to addressing climate change.

the Challenger is a perfect representative of the past fascists and racists want to “retvrn” to.
