Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

No animal alive today is ‘primitive’ – why are so many still labeled that way? All species alive today, from chimpanzees to bacteria, are cousins that each have equally long lineages, rather than ancestors or descendants of one another.

The idea that humans sit atop an evolutionary hierarchy dates back to 1866, when a scientist drew the first tree of life with "Man" at the top.

This inaccurate view still shapes how we think of the animal world, despite decades of genomic evidence proving evolution has no hierarchy.

Indigenous-led demonstration serves ICE symbolic 'eviction notice' During a demonstration at the Henry Whipple Federal Building Saturday, Indigenous activists pointed out the ‘bitter irony’ that the federal government is detaining people on a site where Dakota famili...

“‘We are going to be here to outlast ICE. We’ll be here to outlast the occupation,’ said Torres.

Kate Beane, public historian, also made connections between the ICE holding facility and the stockade at Fort Snelling that interred Dakota people in the winter of 1862.“

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

This allegation certainly puts the fact that Ivana Trump is buried on one of Trump’s golf courses in a different light.

"We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled."

That's from a group of more than a dozen prominent climate scientists. Probably nothing.

Title in white text reads “Children Are Not Property: Allowing Parents to Not Vaccinate is Allowing Child Abuse” with byline “by Matthew Cortland — 01/27/2026.” Decorative interlocking circles appear in upper right. An epidemic curve graph in teal appears in lower left. Bottom banner in gradient teal and gold displays “SHOULDN’T NEED TO BE A LAWYER” with Patreon logo and “PATREON.COM/MATTBC”

The first time I remember praying for death I was 7 or 8 years old. The nuns said to offer my suffering up to Jesus. I had Crohn’s disease. Pediatric treatments existed, I never got them

Part 1 of a series on why “parental choice” framing on vaccines is dead wrong

Aside From That, Mr. Cook, What Did You Think of the Movie? Let them eat popcorn...

Hours after Alex Pretti was executed, Apple's Tim Cook went to the WH for the debut of the Melania 'documentary'

His taste and his timing disgust me.

I won't pretend I'm giving up the laptop I'm writing this on, but I'm not buying more of their stuff anytime soon.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
