Phenology is a science that anyone can practice without a lab coat, microscope, or PhD. It's the study of seasonal events such as first flowers, appearance of certain butterflies, etc. People have tracked these dates for decades -- even centuries -- and now there's a place on DK to record your own observations. A casual spot to tell what you're seeing in the park down the road or in your own back yard.

We've run out of time! A group dedicated to promoting news about the climate crisis.

The Front Page, managed by Daily Kos editorial staff.

A group devoted to covering hurricanes from formation to dissipation, and everywhere in between. Be sure to follow Severe Weather Liveblog for information on tornadoes or severe thunderstorms, as well as the severe weather caused by the remnants of tropical systems after landfall.

At Media Watch we will discuss, disparage, praise, expose, and analyze every facet of the media. From Fox News to the Barstow Bulletin. From anchors and authors to executives, consultants, and even politicians and others who seek to exploit media. From independent journalists to street artists and more. All of this will be aimed at providing information, producing reform, and promoting accountability. The corporate-dominated press is not going to willingly reshape itself into a responsible, eff...

Congressman Anthony Weiner says it time to defund Congressional health benefits. We agree! Republicans are mounting a scorched earth offensive against the Affordable Care Act. It's time for the American people to mount their own long overdue campaign to demand that all the members of the U.S. Senate and House, renounce their heavily taxpayer subsidized health insurance benefits. These people must be required to fend for themselves, as millions of Americans do, in the grotesque and barbaric indi...

A forum for pointing out and responding to the non-science and anti-science material that appears daily in the media. From simple mistakes and ancient astronaut foolishness, to deliberate obfuscation and assault on scientists, science is under attack and Science Matters is fighting back.

A group created to liveblog severe weather events (tornadoes, widespread severe t'storms, remnants of hurricanes, etc.) as they happen. Diaries posted to this group should be of a liveblog nature only. Be sure to also follow Hurricane Kos for the latest on the tropics.

The Top Comments diary series was begun on June 14, 2006. It published daily until January 2021 and now runs at 7pm Pacific time as often as we can make possible, generally Monday thru Friday. We aim to publish pointers to the best comments from the previous 24 hours, and also note which comments receive the most recs from users in that period. Please send your pointers to our "TopComments" gmail address (no space) or our internal dkosmail before 9:30pm eastern time daily.

Women for Bernie is a group created to push back against the sexist and minimizing meme that "only men support Sanders for President." We're here to say we exist AND we aren't a figment of our own imaginations, you cannot twist our words and say we support the patriarchy simply because we feel Sanders is the best candidate in the election, and no, not all Sanders supporters are "BernieBros" or "Bro-gressives." A lot of us are, in fact women -- and proudly so. -----------------------------------...
