I did care work for years, and 'wiping bums' was indeed a key part of the job, and not something anybody enjoys. Why is this controversial? What did he say that was offensive to me? Not everyone wants to empty bins, but I'm glad someone will do it.. These liberals are desperate..

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

If the US thinks the next government is going to be able to come in and pick up without a reckoning for the cruelty and evil of the current regime, they are mistaken. You can forget about Abu Ghraib if it happened far away, but multiple Abu Ghraibs in your hometown - there will be ongoing trauma

Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network.
BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.

I cannot even begin to unpack how disappointed I have been that so many colleagues doing research on how to mitigate and adapt to climate change in US agriculture have been squandering their time to produce small science that just parrots and validates industry talking points. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"
