Climate change reached another grim milestone this week. The Arctic Circle reached a shocking 100.4ºF this week, a temperature scientists didn’t expect to see until the year 2100. If that temperature is verified, it will be the hottest ever recorded. Climate change is killing people––literally. Scientists in Australia estimate that some 2% of deaths between 2006-2017 …

Is police culture toxic? Having a secure, family-like environment in a tough job is definitely a good thing, but like any family, the police can become unhealthy.

Seattle’s largest labor coalition has booted the Seattle police union from its ranks, citing the force’s unwillingness to confront internal racism. There’s growing backlash over the brutal treatment protestors are experiencing at the hands of the police. The LAPD is being sued for shooting a homeless, wheelchair-bound man in the face with rubber bullets (warning: the image is quite …

In talks with aides, Trump has dismissed the protestors from around the nation saying that they’re not his voters.

The Associated Press recently ran an article with a disturbing title: “‘We’re sick of it’: Anger over police killings shatters US.” I take serious issue with this kind of catastrophizing language, which is why I want to reframe their point and compare the past several years to the Vietnam Era. Let’s stick to two points …

Trump’s feud with Twitter has escalated: he is expected to sign an executive order targeting social media.

According to a different poll, 53% of Americans disapproved “strongly” or “somewhat” with Trump’s handling of COVID. But you don’t even have to look at polls to know, …

When Trump wasn’t president, but just some crackpot on twitter, he loved to criticize Obama for golfing, which Obama rarely did. Now that we’ve all entered the twilight zone and Trump is president, we’ve witnessed one of the greatest switcheroos of all time. Trump. Golfs. Constantly. His golf bill has cost the tax payer millions …

Ghislaine Maxwell was supposed to answer questions in a civil suit alleging she participating in the sexual battery of a teenage girl, but she’s been granted a delay.

Two months ago, Lori Loughlin, the former “Full House” star who is accused of bribing her children’s way into college, has finally agreed to plead guilty. For her attempt to circumvent what little meritocracy is left in higher education, she’ll have to pay $150,000 in fines (a fraction of her initial bribe…so…yeah), spend two months …
