It’s not possible to make informed decisions about health if the information you have at hand is grotesquely incorrect. I wouldn’t have a fraction of the concern that I do about the “medical freedom” movement if it weren’t constructed on a foundation of scientific misinformation.
The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.

I'm absolutely outraged at how the #Nasdaq rule changes are going to require our retirement accounts to pump money into #SpaceX and then leave us holding the bag as the price inevitably plummets.

A version of this scam happened to me.

It would be easy to be taken in.

My clues?

When I told the “officer” I was a teacher, he sounded—for a second—rueful.

It's embarrassing to admit I got scammed, but I think it's important we talk about it. Because if I can fall victim to it, a lot of people could. At about 2:30 PM on Tuesday afternoon, I got a call from someone who had blocked their caller ID. I ignored the first two calls, but when a 3rd came in, I picked up.

Houston Chronicle's endorsement of James Talarico for Senate.

"Clean-cut, fresh-faced Talarico has a better shot at delivering for everyday people. Talarico aspires to “servant leadership,” a phrase Christians and others of faith know well.
