University Researchers Uncover Yet Another Reason to Stop Eating Fish (It Goes Far Deeper Than Just Mercury)
If we lived in a environmentally cleaner world, fish would be an incredibly healthy meal: packed with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins D and B2, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, iodine, and potassium. These nutrients protect the heart, slow down the aging process in the brain, help reduce the risk of depression, and prevent autoimmune diseases. If only we didn’t pollute the planet. In today’s world, each of us has to think hard to consider the benefits of eating fish versus its risks.

"Resilient? Ridiculous!"
*"Resilient? Ridiculous!"* by David Stockman When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. – Frédéric Bastiat, "The Law" (1850) "In case you were still wondering, The Wall Street Journal has already explained it all: "The Dow industrials added as many as 500 points on speculation that economic growth will prove to be resilient as fiscal and monetary policies blunt the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on China’s economy."

Our first visit to the area around Mérida and Tulum was about 40 years ago. At the time, Cancún barely existed. And the beaches – except for a few naked hippies – were largely deserted.

Hillary's War: Nine Years Later Libya Still A Living Hell
Nine years after a US-led attack on Libya and murder of its leader, the democracy and liberation promised by Hillary Clinton and her band of "humanitarian interventionists" has never arrived. Instead, the once-wealthiest African country is mired in civil war and the standard of living has plummeted. There are several warring factions and militias vying for control, none of which seems strong enough to rule the country. This is a valuable cautionary tale about the disasters of US interventionism - which is precisely why no one wants to talk about it. Watch today's Liberty Report:

"If politicians can be bought for [these] amounts ... it’s the politicians who are wrong not the threshold." #QotD
*“Politicians having to justify their work to supporters, members, and donors is healthy. Public funding would give a huge advantage to the established political parties. It professionalises politics and stamps on the grass roots. “The vast majority of donations made to political parties are small. That is a good thing.

What Endangered Means To Scientists And What It Means To Environmental Lawyers Are Much Different Things
You might know blue whales are an endangered species while pandas are not. Yet there are 25,000 blue whales and only 2,000 pandas. There are 100,000 sea otters yet they are still classified as endangered. Who drew that line between endangered and not endangered? And why are there suddenly so many more endangered species? A new tiny species might be discovered and someone is immediately petitioning government to declare it endangered, even though there may be lots of them and western ecologists just don't know it. read more

Sanders, Socialism, and the excuses of mainstream
Ever since 2015, Bernie Sanders has ridden a high horse to today.

Law Clerks and Jurisprudence
Here's a small supplement to Perry Dane's very interesting discussion of the jurisprudential significance of the fact that today in the United States law clerks have substantial input, including the development of specific arguments and doctrinal formulations, into the opinions that are ultimately published under "their" judge's name (and the follow-up comments here and here). A short and therefore distorted version of Dane's argument is that the appearance of the judge's name on an opinoin acts as an "icon" or signal about something -- on my reading, about the fact that the opinion ... more »

Walmart Workers Demand Fair Pay And Hours At Protest Outside Alice Walton’s Penthouse As Retail Giant Cuts Jobs
Walmart workers issued a "wake up call" to Alice Walton, an heir to the retailer's $500 billion fortune, in New York on Tuesday by marching to Walton's New York penthouse and demanding her company pay its 1.5 million workers a living wage and give them reliable, stable work schedules.

Or, if you had concerns on seeing the latest news on climate breakdown, you would not be fully informed about the powerful elites that are driving all of us towards this looming catastrophe. Nor would you be alerted to the overriding and immediate imperative for the public to exert its own huge power to avert almost unimaginable disaster, not least human extinction.
Institutionalizing Support for College Students Impacted by Foster Care
Despite the growing national media attention, shedding light on the precarious experiences of college students impacted by the foster care system, they remain on the margins of higher education research, policy and discourse.
