AEG Owner Phil Anschutz Is Still Donating to Causes Promoting Anti-LGBTQ Beliefs AEG owner Philip Anschutz donated $1,020,000 to two organizations that made public statements against LGBTQ people -- Colorado Christian University and the Sky Ranch Christian camping organization.

still can’t believe that given the choice between “bountiful, free, clean energy from the earth, wind, and sun” and “poisonous dead animal sludge price sensitive to global politics” we keep choosing the latter

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:

It's 4/20! Let me remind you why marijuana was criminalized to begin with: "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.

Of course we did.” - John Erlichman, senior advisor to Nixon

Happy 4/20 to those who celebrate!

The Nobel Prize winning CRISPR technology was applied to treating a patient with sickle cell anemia. Jennifer Doudna, pictured here, shared the Nobel Prize (2020) with Emmanuelle Charpentier for CRISPR.

The thing about Vancouver wanting a world class art gallery is we already have one.

The Museum of Anthropology combines two of the greatest visual contributions this land has shared with the world — West Coast Modernism and Northwest Coast Art — into a singular expression of this region.

The Patriarchy is trying to deny women to vote in 2026. To take away every importright we've fought for & already won
