This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Boeing’s troubled Starliner spacecraft will return to Earth uncrewed in the coming weeks to make room for SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, which NASA tapped to help bring two stranded astronauts home after issues with Starliner. 

NASA said the Boeing craft, which suffered helium leaks and thruster failures in June, is expected to eject from the International Space Station and make a “safe, controlled autonomous re-entry” in early September. 

The trip will be watched closely as the craft was originally meant to carry astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home, with NASA opting against the trip due to the safety risks despite...

It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
