Dan Balz: "The former president was clearly mindful that the Democratic Party of 2014 and of Barack Obama is not quite the same as the one he led in the 1990s—and that one potential obstacle in the path of Hillary Clinton's possible presidential ambitions is a primary challenge from the left. His embrace of de Blasio's message was a deliberate step in the positioning of the Clintons as they look to a possible campaign." Meanwhile, TPM notes Obama adviser David Axelrod suggested " that Clinton's participation in the inauguration ceremony may provide reassurances to the left ahead of the 2016 presidential race and 'signal to elite' that de Blasio's 'agenda is not 'radical.'"

[CNN anchor Fredricka] Desjardin’s report, however, presents little evidence of such a groundswell. giving just one example of a person on Twitter who wants Harris-Perry fired. Even with more examples, a raft of tweets is an awfully low bar for a national news network to claim as a newsworthy movement to have someone fired. To this point, Harris-Perry’s critics from competing cable news outlets have not suggested she be fired, nor has anyone else in Desjardin’s report. A hard news report like this, though, could certainly help start such a movement. This is exactly the fuel that a mob of people who already didn’t like Harris-Perry needs to light their torches.

Not all superheroes are fictional. For example: Vishavijit Singh, the first Sikh Captain America. An editorial cartoonist by trade, a few months ago he suited up as a real-life turbaned and bearded version of Jack Kirby’s strongman and strode through New York City, to promote his Sikh Comics while fighting religious and ethnic stereotypes.
Even the frigid depths of the world's oceans aren't immune to the effects of climate change. Up to 38 percent of northeast Atlantic deep sea marine life will disappear in the next century, according to a new analysis based on advanced climate models. Worldwide, around 5 percent of deep sea life is projected to die off due to changing environmental conditions. "We were expecting some negative changes around the world, but the extent of changes, particularly in the North Atlantic, were staggering," Dr. Daniel Jones, lead author of a study published in Global Change Biology, said in a release. "Globally we are talking about losses of marine life weighing more than every person on the planet put together."
