"The findings suggest that if scientists want to increase public urgency around climate change, they should highlight clear, concrete shifts instead of slow-moving trends. That could include the loss of white Christmases or outdoor summer activities canceled because of wildfire smoke."

“I am disheartened and sad…that we cannot demonstrate our sympathy for the beleaguered, that we are told immigrants, which most of us are or descended from, are unwelcome, that we cannot show our frustration in peaceful demonstration, and that we can be attacked and even killed by Federal troops.”
Martha Stewart Issues Rare Political Statement After Stern Text From 14-Year-Old Granddaughter
'I'm not sure it's excusable to not be speaking up right now,' wrote Stewart's granddaughter, inspiring a heartfelt post from the lifestyle media mogul.

The migrant-blaming story has no end point – because it will never deliver the safety and prosperity people crave.
Americans lives will keep getting worse, and politicians will keep finding someone new to blame - anyone except the super-rich.

This is what happens when you blame migrants instead of billionaires
The poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the list of 'domestic terrorists' gets longer.

Is it possible to file a civil suit against the despicable prevaricating scumbags? Nick Shirley should pay for lying about Somalis in Minnesota, and getting the garbage started. Maybe there needs to be legislation passed to penalize platforms, or individuals, that knowingly spread lies. 1stA issue?

As much as I love the thought, I can think of only half-a-dozen Democrats capable of fulfilling that promise.
We have a party of frightened, entirely ineffectual, and passive, nearly-invisible politicians who are less effective than a big-mouthed middle-school kid.

I am ashamed that we could produce such a broken, insecure bully. He should be in an institution. Those like him should be studied so we don’t create any more.

While you were breaking your back to support your family, Health CEOs testified before Congress yesterday about rising insurance premium costs.
They all agreed that Republicans are responsible for the rising costs we are all facing.
We will remember in November.
