It's never really over, is it? We have to be alert every single day to those threats to freedom and democracy, and the democratic right to protest. Women wouldn't be voting if the suffragettes had not persisted! Shocking that a woman is championing this.

Imagine you are an ant. You are close to the ground, have pretty poor eyesight, and can’t see all that far ahead of you. How are you going to find your way back home?

Turns out ants and other insects navigate by a property of light humans can’t even see.

🇨🇦 The Trump admin is buying into Canadian critical mineral companies — giving Washington a stake in our clean-energy future.

CBC reports Ottawa can still block the deal under national security laws.

This is why we need a strong public broadcaster — facts, not spin.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
