“The most interesting thing to me is that liberals and conservatives are just seeing climate science from a completely different epistemic vantage point,” says Suldovsky about the results.

The survey showed that liberals see climate science and climate change as certain and simple. They don't think it's very complicated to understand, and they also don't think it's going to be refuted in the future. Liberals also defer to scientific experts about climate change to such an extent that they reported that they would defer to what a scientist says about climate change even if it contradicts their own experience.

“That’s a pretty bold thing to agree with,” says Suldovsky. “That was pretty shocking to me.”

By contrast, conservatives saw climate science completely differently. “They see it as far less certain and far more complex, [the latter] is super interesting because in that way conservatives are more in line with climate scientists,” says Suldovsky. Conservatives also rely more on their own direct lived experience to give them knowledge about the world and knowledge about climate change.

“That has huge implications for the way that we engage with conservatives because, up until this point, the approach has been to shove more information from climate scientists at them and that'll do the trick, and it doesn't,” says Suldovsky. “One of the things that our study is showing is that [resistance] might be because conservatives are looking to a different source to give them knowledge about climate change: their own direct lived experience.”

В принципе, такой подход со стороны проповедников религии климата должен радовать. Потому что есть и еще способ, исторически более проверенный, который сейчас очевидным образом и применяется везде, где есть такая возможность. Вместо того, чтобы скептиков обращать в истинную веру, можно их уничтожить заткнуть им пасть за "дезинформацию", а тем временем детей в школах научить, что думать самим нельзя, надо слушаться экспертов, даже когда те явно врут. После этого можно будет устраивать климатические локдауны и пилить климатическо-ремонтные триллионы спокойно, при политической поддержке большинства. 

American confidence in science has split heavily along party lines, according to a Gallup poll released Friday.

The survey found that Democrats were very confident in science, with 79 percent saying they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the field, compared to just 45 percent of Republicans who said the same. Among independents, 65 percent expressed confidence.

The gap between Democrats and Republicans was the widest of any institution measured in Gallups polls this year.

The last time Gallup polled Americans on their confidence in science was 1975. GOP confidence in science is down 27 percentage points since then, compared with a 12 point increase among Democrats. Confidence declined 8 points among independents.

Congressional Black Caucus Chair Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) led a group of pro-voting rights protesters into the Hart Senate Office Building Thursday afternoon, resulting in her being taken into custody.

Democrats are seeking ways to flip the script on Republican attacks on the “defund the police” mantra, going on offense ahead of the midterms on an issue that some in the party concede hurt them in House races in 2020.

The party is discussing ways to turn the attacks around, including by highlighting GOP opposition to President Biden’s coronavirus relief package earlier this year — including funds that state and local governments could opt to use for local law enforcement — and Republicans’ response to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The strategy is just getting off the ground, and the attacks have yet to be widely publicized in ad campaigns and other tactics as issues like the economy, the coronavirus pandemic and infrastructure remain priorities. But Democrats see the effort as key to repelling GOP criticism related to law enforcement and crime heading into the 2022 races.

Mathematics has been used to normalize racism and marginalization of non-Eurocentric mathematical knowledges, and a decolonial, anti-racist approach to mathematics education makes visible its historical roots and social constructions. The Ontario Grade 9 mathematics curriculum emphasizes the need to recognize and challenge systems of power and privilege, both inside and outside the classroom, in order to eliminate systemic barriers and to serve students belonging to groups that have been historically disadvantaged and underserved in mathematics education.

The movement is much broader than race — as anyone who is dealing with matters of sex and gender will tell you. The best moniker I’ve read to describe this mishmash of postmodern thought and therapy culture ascendant among liberal white elites is Wesley Yang’s coinage: “the successor ideology.” The “structural oppression” is white supremacy, but that can also be expressed more broadly, along Crenshaw lines: to describe a hegemony that is saturated with “anti-Blackness,” misogyny, and transphobia, in a miasma of social “cis-heteronormative patriarchal white supremacy.” And the term “successor ideology” works because it centers the fact that this ideology wishes, first and foremost, to repeal and succeed a liberal society and democracy.

In the successor ideology, there is no escape, no refuge, from the ongoing nightmare of oppression and violence — and you are either fighting this and “on the right side of history,” or you are against it and abetting evil. There is no neutrality. No space for skepticism. No room for debate. No space even for staying silent. (Silence, remember, is violence — perhaps the most profoundly anti-liberal slogan ever invented.)

And that tells you about the will to power behind it. Liberalism leaves you alone. The successor ideology will never let go of you. Liberalism is only concerned with your actions. The successor ideology is concerned with your mind, your psyche, and the deepest recesses of your soul. Liberalism will let you do your job, and let you keep your politics private. S.I. will force you into a struggle session as a condition for employment.

The FBI seized a "fully constructed" Lego set of the U.S. Capitol from the home of an alleged insurrectionist.

Prosecutors detailed the finding in a court document for Robert Morss, who was arrested on June 11 at his home in Glenshaw, Pa.

The government argued that Morss should be detained from court pending trial.

According to the court filing dated July 2, law enforcement recovered clothing and other items from Morss’s home that match what he carried on Jan. 6. Among the items were a “'Don’t Tread on Me' flag, a neck gaiter, a military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues.”

In addition, “law enforcement also recovered a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set,” prosecutors wrote.

It’s unclear why Morss had the Lego set.

"It's OK for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis around the other women, young little girls, underage? Your spa, Wi Spa, condones that?" a female patron asked staff in a video that went viral on Twitter. "He is not a female."
