The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.
Absolutely not.
ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age 💙
Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

WE FOUND IT! We trekked day and night through tiger-patrolled Sumatran rainforests accessible only under permit for this: Rafflesia hasseltii. Few people have ever seen this flower, and we watched it open by night. Magic.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

I used a tool to remove the stars from this photo. So if you're sitting in a spaceship right next to it, this is what you would see. This is the "fossil footprint nebula" because it has 3 toes that look vaguely like a dinosaur footprint.

Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate.
Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.
