Climate-fueled disasters like wildfires in California and flooding in Indonesia and Pakistan devastated communities and caused billions in damage. In addition to these worrying indicators of our…

The New York Police Department’s “mosque-raking” program targeted Muslim communities across NYC. Now, as the city’s first Muslim mayor takes office, one man is fighting—again—to fully expose it.

At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining of the uterus and then grips tight, burrowing in as the first tendrils of a future placenta appear.  This is implantation—the moment that pregnancy officially begins.
