More than 200 million Americans spent July 4 under a heat wave that was made at least 5 times more likely by human-caused climate change.
Some areas saw temperatures up to 20ยฐF above normal.
The future we warned you about arrived years ago.
This may be the image that defines America's 250th birthday.
A woman sits calmly on a Washington Metro train as masked members of the white nationalist and domestic terrorist group Patriot Front surround her.
They covered their faces.
She didn't.
Earlier in the day, Patriot Front marched through the nation's capital carrying Confederate flags and chanting that America must be "reclaimed," the latest expression of a white nationalist movement that has grown increasingly visible, violent, emboldened, and politically influential in recent years.
Their ideology is explicit.
Their courage, apparently, is not.
Not one of them was willing to show his face.
And then there is her.
No mask. No uniform. No fear.
Just an American woman refusing to surrender an inch of her dignity to a group of men who appeared to be seeking exactly that.
The symbolism is almost too perfect.
250 years after the Declaration of Independence, and six decades after Americans marched and died to make its promises apply to everyone, a group of masked white nationalists rode the socialist Metro home in anonymity.
The woman they tried to intimidate is the one America will remember.
The people who hide their faces do not define this country.
The people who refuse to be afraid do.
If "ugly" is too curt, I offer an alternative.
Because I agree that "ugly" doesn't quite capture the biological recoil triggered by @StephenM's unholy being.
Given the anxiety and fear we all have for the future of our country, I want to give you some hope with this poignant reminder:
Ron DeSantis only has 7 months left as governor and then he'll be sentenced to a lifetime or irrelevance and obscurity.
Climate change isnโt abstract. It has a price tag.
In 2025 alone:
โข 23 billion-dollar disasters
โข $115 billion in damages
โข The most expensive wildfire ever recorded
I break down the data โ and why this pace isnโt sustainable.

You're wrong and you have become an embarrassment. .
You think you're Yoda in a hoodie.
You're LURCH from the Addams family in Congress and you have moved so far up Trump's ass IMO that I hear you're now receiving mail there.
Go back to the Skateboard park.
@GeoRebekah Their bigotry is teetering at the edge of a bottomless pit. I'm encouraged by Nietzsche's observation: "If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
