I'm all for "climate adaptation," but honestly I don't know how we can adapt to this level of climate disruption of agriculture. Farmers can't "adapt" to chronic drought and heatwaves. Crops don't "adapt" -- they wither. I don't think we fully understand where we're headed.
Britain could face food shortages as drought continues, farmers warn
Farmers battle to salvage what they can of their crops as heatwave set to continue

Spot on. It’s happening right now…this is how it starts.
I’m going out of the country in a couple weeks and because of our new Dept of Health Sec. and his asinine anti-vaxer conspiracy theories, I had to take a blood test to make sure I am still immune to measles. What friggin century are we living in?!! #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.health.harvard.edu/b
Measles is making a comeback: Can we stop it? - Harvard Health
In the US, widespread vaccination halted the ongoing spread of measles more than 20 years ago, but recent outbreaks have flared in over 20 US states, leading to hospitalizations and at least two de...

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.
After our last report on conditions inside ICE detention centers, the latest DHS propaganda makes a chilling kind of sense now. The official DHS X account posted a WWII-style poster urging people to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” complete with the ICE tip line to report undocumented neighbors.
Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade
Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."
(🚨) On June 14, 2025, the Summer of Protest formally begins. We should expect weeks and weeks of various forms of tumult that will change our country forever. PROOF has created a primer to help you understand some of the events MAGAs will distort to try to end American democracy.
The Summer of Protest Is Here. This Primer Will Help You Understand What You See.
Corporate media and the far-right disinformation ecosystem haven’t just done nothing to educate Americans about public protests, they have poisoned the language we use to discuss them. That must end.

Thanks to Donald Trump, going to the grocery store could soon be more like going to a casino. You pay your money and you take your chances. With all of the DOGE cuts, Trump is making salmonella great again. Listeria, E Coli & other pathogens, too. My latest for @contrariannews.org ⤵️
The Contrarian@contrariannews.org · last yr.Shopping for groceries used to mean checking freshness and price. Now Jennifer Schulze wonders if the food is even safe to eat. Trump is gutting the system that’s protected Americans from contaminated food and medicine for over a century.
At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."
He is just completely disconnected from the reality of how his policies impact average Americans, and he is surrounded my sycophants 24/7 who tell him that he’s the greatest, everything is perfect, and everyone loves him. He lives in a fantasy world.
