Now available in tactical black! 😎

I know people say if you're going to No Kings or any other protest you need to do this and that, or list all the things you should do, but really all you need to do is show up and walk around for a bit.

Really. Just another body there sends a message.

It's not scary, you don't have to do anything. Just show up and hang out with some nice people for a while.

β€œIn its own league” – β€œWithout precedent” These terms fail to convey how deviant of the Southwest US Heat has been. This visual shows the average temperature of each day in the Southwest US since 1979 (black). The average (green).
This year is the red line. The red dot represents last week’s peak heatwave day. I’ve been a meteorologist for 30 years and I’ve never seen a #heatwave of this size, intensity and longevity depart so far from the norm.

RED FUCKING ALERT

The United States is dropping land mines around villages in Iran. Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.

The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.

LAND MINES ARE A WAR CRIME! What in the actual fuck are we doing here? This is a violation of law, of sense, and of humanity. Den Hague for everyone involved.
