"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.

The flag is traditionally a symbol of distress when upside down.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Just saying—we will always call it Denali.

U.S. pays $590 million to Moderna to speed up development of bird flu vaccine The public health risk remains low, but bird flu variants have proven to be unpredictable, which is why the virus is a top priority for the federal government.

I don't believe "the public health risk remains low," but then, my definition may differ. Fasten your seatbelts; we're in for a bumpy next pandemic.

Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

No, you are not on Indigenous land Pieces of territory belong to institutions, not to racial groups.

What if, instead of performative "land acknowledgements," U.S. universities and other institutions worked with existing tribes? What if, instead of this, we helped people today? Cf. Florida State work with the Seminoles. Why isn't there more of this? www.noahpinion.blog/p/no-you-are...

The text reads: There’s a monster in your basement. It’s not Jeremy. He’s pretty cool once you get to know him. It’s CARBON MONOXIDE. Have a professional inspect all fuel-burning heating systems, including furnaces, boilers, fireplaces, wood stoves, water heaters, chimneys, flues and vents each year.
