Final data isn’t in yet, but chances are this summer will once again be a bloody one for gun violence. The Fourth of July weekend once again proved to be one of the deadliest days of the year for gun violence, as it is nearly every year. These shootings, some of which make national headlines like the shooting in Highland Park, Ill., but most of which don’t, make ripples—especially in the Black and brown communities where gun violence hits hardest....

Finland and the United States would have played regardless of the result two days earlier....

As a young man he gave up a career as a lawyer to join i the fight against apartheid. He went to jail rather than renounce his conviction that blacks had a right to battle racial oppression with armed struggle....

Recently, researchers have begun to take a new tack. Rather than looking for a replacement liver, they’re trying to harness the body’s own biological building blocks to grow new, healthy liver tissue. At the Department for Experimental Surgery at Berlin’s Charite Hospital, scientists have developed something called a “bioreactor”–a plastic device slightly larger than a fist. Inside is a matrix of hundreds of membranes, within which they’ve coaxed human adult liver stem cells to grow into complex living tissue remarkably like a healthy liver....
The 5-4 decision handed down in McGirt v. Oklahoma means nearly half of Oklahoma belongs to the Muscogee Creek Nation.

A new national poll from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal found that half of voters said their families are better off now than they were four years ago—compared with 34 percent who said their families are worse off, and 14 percent who said about the same. Trump was a huge factor for why participants said their families are doing better or worse than four years ago. Ninety percent of voters blamed the president for being the reason their families are doing worse, while 82 percent of voters cited him for why their families are better off....
Last year, Butts County Sheriff Gary Long ordered his deputies to put up the signs which read, “Warning, no trick-or-treat at this address” at the front of houses of more than 200 sex offenders.
