Extreme temperatures in the Lower 48 States on April 10th reached 104F/40C in Texas and Arizona.
It will be hotter tomorrow when the West might see its first 105F of 2025.
As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.
My husband loves Sparrows best. His favorite is when they become poofballs on cold days.
NORTH AFRICA RECORD HEAT
Extreme heat continues worse than ever
Yesterday 44.8C at Dosso,NIGER: new record of March highest temperature.
April will start with an insane quantity of record heat waves in all the Continents.
29 National records have fallen in the past weeks.
It is worth stating clearly, since stories like that from the Times and similar outlets continue, in the face of overwhelming evidence, to refuse to do so: This is fascism. It is what happens in a dictatorship. It does not happen in a functioning democracy. It will not stop at people on university campuses who opposed a genocide in Gaza, or at Venezuelans with tattoos who had followed rules about applying for asylum. "Dictatorship" isn't something that just gets applied retroactively in textbooks to distant places; it can, in fact, happen here, and it will be marked by more and more masked agents of the state, blithely ignoring the questions about their shyness, as they put another person who said the wrong thing into the back of a van.

I stand with Canada.
Welp, there goes the US defense industry.
I love these!
I like blue, but I always appreciate brightness over drab. Awesome pic.
This era is like paint thinner for character. Forces beyond our control throw turpentine on everyone. You get to see what’s actually underneath the top layer they’ve been walking around in. Turns out the base content of a lot of people’s character is mass produced particle board composite from Temu.
every person involved in this needs to be in prison

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment being expressed by citizens and governments around the world to the effect no one should be traveling to the United States at this time.
Under our current government, we are a danger to ourselves and everyone else, and should be avoided.
Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Thank you for all your updates and valuable perspective. I’ve been following your FB updates for the last couple months. Very helpful. Thanks!
EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.
Disappearing permanent residents for peaceful protests and threatening more disappearances while spouting propaganda and lies about the victim. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THE RIGHT OF PEACEFUL PROTESTS.
the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain
If you’re from outside the U.S. and thinking of a holiday here I recommend not risking it. This isn’t a safe country for anybody right now.
To see evidence for the acceleration of global sea surface temperatures, notice that the jump in average temperature between decades gets larger as the decades pass. The gap increases over time.
This has been your f&%kery 101 lesson for today.
1. Vaccines do not cause autism
2. There's nothing wrong with being autistic.
Thanks for reading my post. Have a nice day, everyone.
Almost everyday extreme weather events are occurring around the world. While it’s been a cold winter in the U.S., most of the rest of the world is broiling! #ClimateChange
I stand with Canada. Growing up near Detroit meant Canadian Radio and watching Canadian Sesame Street. My current favorite radio station (indie88) is also Canadian. Stay strong. Fascists are stupid ghouls.
