Thanks for including the Kagan bits—they need to be shouted out. To paraphrase Joyce Vance (below), These fuckers can pretend racism doesn’t exist, but they can’t actually will racism into not existing. Argh!

53 years ago today, 6/25/73 With 85 million households watching on TV, former WH counsel John Dean reads his explosive 60,000 word opening statement which implicates Nixon, himself & other top WH officials in a coverup of Watergate & more. Nixon resigns 13 months later. Telling the truth matters.

Trump has decimated the government’s ability to detect and counter foreign influence actions aimed at the US from Russia and elsewhere. But he has provided around-the-clock security for the Reflecting Pool to protect it from nonexistent vandals. That’s a good summary of his presidency.

Europe is warming at a rate that’s more than double the pace of warming worldwide since the mid-1990s, due to melting Arctic sea ice, reduced pollution-related aerosols, and less snow cover. These changes are also altering weather patterns, leading to more frequent and intense heat waves.

“We remove the bad people from those cities so they never come back.” Of course it will be Trump’s henchmen who will decide who a bad person is and figure out how to disappear “the bad people”. It is fascism in its truest form and it is petrifying. TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED.

How much is a person's life worth? Per the EPA, $0. The EPA recently altered its cost-benefit methodology, removing the monetary est of human life from specific pollution rules. So if you have health issues as a result of pollution, etc. you know who to thank.
