Scientists plan to march on Washington — but where will it get them?
A few months from now, thousands of scientists will leave their labs and take to the streets to rally on behalf of publicly funded, openly communicated, evidence-based research.
At least, that's the vision of the organizers of the March for Science, which is slated to take place on April 22 — Earth Day.
Moral Money: Commons Money that Works for Us, Not Us Working for It
We have to realize that we are all enmeshed in the present money system, which makes it difficult to see it as it is. Because those of us who are not on the edge also benefit, through investments and unearned income, its structure is justified in our minds. Let the reader beware. The present analysis gores sacred cows.

UPDATE 22:BuzzFeed reports the evidence is simply not there.
The FBI Never Asked For Access To Hacked Computer Servers
The FBI did not examine the servers of the Democratic National Committee before issuing a report attributing the sweeping cyberintrusion to Russia-backed hackers, BuzzFeed News has learned.
Six months after the FBI first said it was investigating the hack of the Democratic National Committee’s computer network, the bureau has still not requested access to the hacked servers, a DNC spokesman said.
NOTE: Since NSA records everything it is possible NSA has the DNC “traffic” in the archives, but on balance we believe that the IC is going to be presenting Donald Trump with fabricated and insubstantial “evidence” that would never stand up in court. Julian Assange and Ambassador Craig Murray are on record as stating that it was not the Russians and an insider provided much of the material. It is deeply moronic to suggest that Donald Trump is unpatriotic for asking Julian Assange directly, while also having the wit to doubt the word of people whose sole purpose in life is to lie to everybody.
Prior to election day, Vice’s Motherboard published a report called Mathematics, which included proof that democracies are irrelevant to our society today. Social policy, or the idea that one process can work for everyone, has been deemed ludicrous as society is much too complex, and government always fails us in our expectations.
