Food labels can be confusing. There are so many different terms that sound like they should mean the same thing, but don’t—except for the times that they do. Wait, what?. Take dairy-free and non-dairy, for example. Both terms imply that a product doesn’t contain any dairy, and often, that is genuinely the case. But not always. Legally, the term non-dairy actually allows for some milk-derived products to be used. It’s a little bit complicated, so let’s dive in.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
