Underwater artifacts are resurfacing in Europe as water levels drop because of drought: Weather disasters like droughts are inextricably linked to human-induced climate change. The planet has already warmed 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, according to NASA, and that’s making disasters worse. Stopping this vicious circle will require drastically reducing our reliance on climate-polluting fossil fuels.

Slavery and war are tightly connected – but we had no idea just how much until we crunched the data: Modern slavery takes many different forms, including child soldiers, sex trafficking and forced labor, and no country is immune.

Kansas’ Abortion Amendment Recount Confirms Landslide Win: The margin was changed by less than 100 votes, of the more than 922,000 Kansans who voted earlier this month. The hand recount in Sedgwick County verified that the Value Them Both amendment, which sought to remove abortion rights from the Kansas Constitution, failed by a wide margin in the state’s second largest county, as it did statewide.

Trump Likening the US to a ‘Third-World Country’ Is Something We Can Agree On: The imperial hubris on display in the use of such lingo towards poorer nations can’t hide America’s own failures. Such is the ironic nature of imperial power, it seems, that the global hegemon responsible for oppressing much of the third world must also keep a significant portion of its own populace in third-world conditions.

Biden Urged to Take Steps to Finally Get Rid of DeJoy as He Plows Ahead With Job Cuts: “Claims that Biden can’t do anything to oust DeJoy are misleading,” said one watchdog group.
