The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund defends US artists from censorship.

The only safe answer to a dispute about who can exploit new fossil fuel deposits is, "Neither of you! Nobody!"

Washing synthetic fabrics releases lots of plastic microfibers that harm marine life.

The latest US terrorist attack was carried out by a right-wing extremist.

Overall, right-wing extremists commit a large fraction of US terrorist violence. Don't assume that Islamists are more dangerous than Christianists.

However, terrorism from all sources is a small danger in the US. Don't worry about it too much.
