The vividly colored candy darter has been protected under the Endangered Species Act, with over 300 miles of streams in Virginia and West Virginia also proposed for protection. This federal decision follows a petition and litigation by the Center for Biological Diversity and its allies.

The darter has vanished from at least half its range, primarily due to pollution, competition, or hybridization. Although first identified as needing federal protection in 1982, action was delayed. The Center sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2015 to secure a court-binding decision, ensuring this imperiled animal finally receives the help needed to avoid extinction.

After a 2011 march against strip-mining, Jackson Koeppel became committed to exploring alternatives to an extractive economy. That same year, he found his cause in Highland Park, MI. The Detroit-area city had lost 80% of its population, and in 2011, 1,000 of its 1,500 streetlights were decommissioned due to a $4 million municipal debt, leaving residential streets in darkness.

In response, Koeppel co-founded Soulardarity. This community organization is installing 200 solar streetlights and forming a cooperative of residents, businesses, and institutions to maintain them through annual dues. These affordable, eco-friendly lights foster community resilience and sustainability discussions.

Isarithmic maps, like contour maps, use color or lines to represent a third variable in two dimensions. The author applied this technique to election returns, revealing broad patterns in U.S. political history that traditional maps often miss.

This animated interpretation highlights key phenomena: Roosevelt's enduring support, the South's shift from Democratic to Republican, and the evolution from an east-west to a contemporary coasts-versus-heartland political divide.

As this video demonstrates, American politics constantly evolves. It serves as a reminder that "politics as usual" is always in flux as parties battle for electoral supremacy.
