Bernie Sanders Calls Hillary Clinton Racist, Yet Her Record on Civil Rights is Stronger
To label an opponent racist in order to win the “black vote” is reprehensible, especially considering Hillary Clinton has spent a lifetime working on social justice issues. Sanders’ effort to cast Hillary Clinton as a racist elitist failed. In the New York primary, Clinton won 75% of the African-American vote and 64% of the Latino vote. Clinton continues to enjoy widespread support from communities of color while black leaders continue to express doubt about Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders’s speech last night enrages Democratic leaders
It’s incredibly frustrating for people who’ve been working in mainstream Democratic Party politics to hear their party described as something other than a party for “working people.” Clinton won the votes of millions of working-class Americans, primarily people of color, throughout the 2016 primaries; and in the 2012, 2008, 2004, and 2000 election cycles there’s been a pronounced tendency for lower-income voters to back the Democratic candidate and higher-income ones to back the Republican.
A lot of the people who’ve fought for those things agree with Sanders that they didn’t go far enough in important ways, or even that key people in the party didn’t push hard enough or strong enough for them. But a lot of Sanders’s rhetoric seems to simply erase these battles, as if the whole party were just sitting on its hands until Bernie and his political revolution came to town.

Exactly.
Bernie is an arrogant, self-important asshole who just keeps getting douchier and more obstructionist (i.e. working AGAINST the progress he supposedly is working for fervently towards) every single day.

Modern Technology Uncovers New Findings: Ancient Greek Analog Computer was a Textbook of Astronomy | GreekReporter.com
Originally found in the remains of a shipwreck of an ancient merchant ship that is believed to have sunk between 150-70 BC…

Stais believed it to be an astronomical clock, which was dismissed due to the preconceptions of technology only adapting to be able to make such equipment in the 14th century.
“It’s like a textbook of astronomy as it was understood then, which connected the movements of the sky and the planets with the lives of the ancient Greeks and their environment.”

Dolphins at the National Aquarium in Baltimore could help transform the way sea life is held in captivity…
Within five years, the aquarium wants to move the dolphins to a sanctuary along an ocean front. They are looking at places like Florida and the Caribbean where the site will allow the dolphins to interact with other sea life.
“There’ll be crabs on the bottom and lobsters perhaps finding their way into crevices, jellyfish will drift in and out, but these dolphins need to learn how to cope with every single one of those natural features,” National Aquarium CEO John Racanelli said.
