Canada is still on fire, along with Greece, Spain, the Swiss Alps, and many other places. 🔥🔥🔥
In Canada, the total is now over a thousand active fires, with 680 burning out of control. More than 11 million hectares of Canadian forests and grasslands have been consumed by flames, WAY above all previous records.

Our world is burning. But that will never stop us, of course, from carrying on with Business As Usual. That is, it won’t stop the oil industry from drilling and fracking and from mining tar sands. Why? Because capitalism!!💰💰💰

Cole Wagner helped muscle into the Alabama Constitution an amendment declaring the state recognized “the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children.”
Now Wagner has been arrested for the sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/anti-abortion-leader-child-sex-abuse-1234794177/

No, #Abbott. You don't get to just make up whatever laws suit your agenda. And you don't get to pretend that inconvenient laws don't apply to you.

Both Landsat 8 and 9 have optical sensors that collect beautiful images of Earth. 😍 🌏
Called the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and OLI-2, these sensors take measurements in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I love that he’ll sell Rudy out.
Feed every child. It removes any stigma about who gets free lunch. It helps those older students who may already be working to help support the family. For a country that has the resources we have, there is no excuse for hungry kids.
Opinion: A radical idea: Just give kids lunch-

@TonyStark And breakfast too. Every child that goes to school should have the opportunity to receive 2 hot meals every day.
@randahl #AgentOrange is a smart idiot, whose primary talent is rallying, infecting dumb idiots, with dreams of White Privilege and Supremacy.
But he’s not smart enough to talk his way out of what he did. “Ok, that shit didn’t stick, try this! It was Antifa! It wasn’t an insurrection! No, it was bring your bat to the Capitol Day! It was staged by the FBI! Deep State, Deep State! And I was not involved in any way! I’m like Jesus on the cross! You evangelicals know what I mean!!”😤😖😱🤠🤡💩
I absolutely love this. On Truth Social, Donald Trump now promotes the conspiracy theory, that the US government staged the January 6 attack.
So somehow the deep state was able to get Trump to rally the crowd, fire them up with lies and instruct them to go down to The Capitol and “fight like hell”.
I have to know more — was Trump a victim of hypnosis?
Ron DeSantis makes Alabama Governor George Wallace look like Tom Hanks.
Tubs thinks he’s still playing football. He cannot comprehend there’s no football, only the lives of military personnel and their families. https://www.al.com/politics/2023/07/military-spouses-deliver-petition-to-tuberville-on-inappropriate-and-unpatriotic-hold-on-nominations.html
@AlliFlowers Great point!
@br00t4c This is a good article, but money, economic systems, carpet baggers and millionaires, billionaires who think they deserve to live like Kings stand in the way.
A particular political party in the US has and wants to reduce taxes for the wealthy by millions and more instead of using it for the greater good, oh like fighting global warming, while they throw you a dollar and expect you to cheer them. And make no mistake there are a lot of dummies cheering. Can you tell I’m a pessimist? 🥵
