@McAlisterUSA @nehales@cherelle504@CNN Jim Crow, anti-sodomy, and criminal abortion used to be laws, too. Laws can be unjust. In America, we change unjust laws rather than using them to cruelly bash the vulnerable.
🌋#Shishaldin Yesterday afternoon, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter flew by Shishaldin Volcano, capturing this video of the new eruptive activity. Watch to the end to see the new scoria cone growing in the summit crater. Thank you @USCGAlaska for sharing this with us! (1/2)
Today is the 26th day in a row El Paso has reached or exceeded 100 degrees, the longest consecutive streak since record-keeping began in 1887.
The latest 7-day forecast suggests this streak won't be ending anytime soon.
@kareem_carr The SAT was actually supposed to do this: admission would be based on a test score that couldn’t be bought. But then it turned out a test score COULD be bought. But purchasing a higher test score does require effort from the kid, so to a simple mind it’s still sorta meritocratic?
@JohnathanPerk The people I work with agree that our workplace is sadly undiverse but again the source of the problem is unknowable and therefore unchangeable.
@JohnathanPerk Edit: I assumed this was a work retreat. I am too square to attend fancy social gatherings of this sort. On a work note: every suggestion I have made to increase diversity at my workplace has been shot down. New hires are part of existing social networks of the Directors.
@reinjenjenni@DrBrittaniJ You fly that flag because you are a fascist. Really, that’s it. You aren’t slick or sly. No one is fooled. And you’re blocked. Byeeeeeee
@____B____@_dmoser This picture is on a highway near West Point, which has received the most rain so far. This whole area is hilly (and beautiful) and therefore vulnerable to flash flooding and landslides. ☹️
I have announced a State of Emergency for Orange County, which has experienced life-threatening flooding over the past few hours.
We are in close communication with local officials and State agencies are participating in search and rescue efforts. ⬇️
Heavy rain in NYC tonight and tomorrow may cause rapid, life-threatening flooding to basements. Prepare now to move to higher ground if needed. If you must travel, exercise caution and avoid flooded roadways. Info: https://t.co/2oZ5ycgl2Y
